Be careful.
  • This is actually pretty smart because it switches the context of the action. Most intermediate users avoid clicking random executables by instinct but this is different enough that it doesn't immediately trigger that association and response.

    OpenAI releases o1, its first model with ‘reasoning’ abilities
  • All signs point to this being a finetune of gpt4o with additional chain of thought steps before the final answer. It has exactly the same pitfalls as the existing model (9.11>9.8 tokenization error, failing simple riddles, being unable to assert that the user is wrong, etc.). It's still a transformer and it's still next token prediction. They hide the thought steps to mask this fact and to prevent others from benefiting from all of the finetuning data they paid for.

    When A.I.’s Output Is a Threat to A.I. Itself | As A.I.-generated data becomes harder to detect, it’s increasingly likely to be ingested by future A.I., leading to worse results.
  • How many times is this same article going to be written? Model collapse from synthetic data is not a concern at any scale when human data is in the mix. We have entire series of models now trained with mostly synthetic data: https://huggingface.co/docs/transformers/main/model_doc/phi3. When using entirely unassisted outputs error accumulates with each generation but this isn't a concern in any real scenarios.

    Musk’s new Grok upgrade allows X users to create largely uncensored AI images
  • Based on the pricing they're probably betting most users won't use it. The cheapest api pricing for flux dev is 40 images per dollar, or about 10 images a day spending $8 a month. With pro they would get half that. This is before considering the cost of the language model.

    Minecraft. Family guy, even.
  • Most of this seems true (or was at the time) but this is outdated now. Mr. Beast is no longer managed by Night Media.

    How or why was Romana Didulo (illegitimate queen of canada) allowed to immigrate to Canada?
  • She immigrated when she was 15, 30 years before she made the Queen of Canada claim. You can't deport someone after 30 years of citizenship for mental illness.

    GNU-Linux
  • What's the deal with Alpine not using GNU? Is it a technical or ideological thing? Or is it another "because we can" type distro?

    Ridiculed Stable Diffusion 3 release excels at AI-generated body horror
  • The model does have a lot of advantages over sdxl with the right prompting, but it seems to fall apart in prompts with more complex anatomy. Hopefully the community can fix it up once we have working trainers.

    Generating (often non-con) porn is the new crypto mining
  • The main issue here is user knowledge and consent. Otherwise this isn't a whole lot different from services like vast.ai offering on demand GPU rentals or the KoboldAI Horde. Based on the incentives offered it's clear that they're targeting younger or less savvy users which is a problem.
