Since any reductions to copyright, if they occur at all, will take a while to happen, I hope someone comes up with an opt-in limited term copyright. At max, I’d be satisfied with a 45-50 year limited copyright on everything I make, and could see going shorter under plenty of circumstances.

I wish I could get through to people who fear AI copyright infringement on this point.

Interesting. I’ve seen plenty of mentions of the potential use of AI in medicinal imaging, but not in a context where time is of the essence. That’s a particularly compelling use case.

“Still needs to be greenlit by the FDA” - has anyone read a discussion of how the FDA is handing AI medical applications? Considering how overwrought the approval procedure can be for more mundane medical technologies, I have little hope that the process is going to be efficient and effective.

This is a great find.

Neat!

There are circumstances where the precautionary principle is good to apply. But overuse of it has really bad cumulative consequences.

I”m pretty picky about science fiction art. But this is beautiful, and draws you in to the setting.

I had a feeling that the silence over the last few days was a sign that a huge amount of work was happening behind the scenes. I also think you’re doing an excellent job of communicating with us. Thank you for all your effort that’s allowed this community to grow.

It’s just one method to make tea. Some teas taste quite different from cup to cup (wuyi oolongs, for example), some are more consistent, in my experience. What I like is that it’s easy to adjust depending on the outcome - one infusion is too weak or too strong? Brew the next one more or less.

I enjoy brewing loose leaf tea gongfu style (in a small vessel with many infusions): it gives me just enough to do, and a pleasant stimulus to focus on, that it’s very grounding.

Although AI will impart a pretty new flavor to it, I think whether or not AI gets used a tool to create more genuine value, vs being used to produce bullshit at greater scale and efficiency, comes down to human organizational factors that don’t have much to do with AI. Take the example of the recommendation letter: if the person writing the letter and the organization receiving it cares that content of the letter reflects real experiences, then I think AI writing assistance will be used to that end. If it’s just a rote requirement that needs to be ticked off, then lazy AI written letters will prove quite effective. Whether people care or not I think has to with the interaction of their own personal values with the structural incentives the organization. New developments in AI may highlight how those incentives are aligned or misaligned, but potential solutions have to do with a facet of human behavior that’s much more ancient.

Awesome. Though I notice very little shows up from kbin.social; content I know is there is missing when I search for it. That may have more to do with the recency of the site growth or the cloudflare protection that was up a few days ago.

Good on you! Hope that a lot more people on kbin take this approach.

I like the idea of this community, and subscribed, but fyi that link doesn’t work for me on kbin. This is the right link on here, I believe: https://kbin.social/m/auai@programming.dev - m rather than c.

Enjoying the links on https://kbin.social/m/space so far.

That would be a pity -personally I think downvotes, for all they can be abused, are a necessary counterpart to upvotes if you’re going to have a voting system at all. “All attention is good attention” doesn’t work well in real life or online.

Now if a change was made to allow individual magazines to choose upvotes+downvotes, only upvotes or none at all, I think there’s a better case for that - let people try different systems for different circumstances,

Short sighted behavior is hardly limited to capitalist enterprises, though.

That’s been my experience as well.

How is Stable Diffusion connected to bad/short term orientated social media company policy changes? The ChatGPT connection I understand, even if I don’t think it’s the root cause. (Interest rate increases I think are more fundamental, even if AI is cited by companies as an influence on their choices.)

Interesting notion.
