So not only are we looking for aliens and their signals we're also looking for their memes.
I look forward to seeing these images that exist out in space 👍

Did they ever find out just how dangerous you are?
If you wanted stability you shouldn't have backed Trump!
Did they learn nothing from his last term in office? Actually, we know the answer to that (no, they did not).
Now I'm beginning to wonder if big, evil corp executives are just as gullible as the rest of the MAGA crowd that regularly vote against their own interests 🤔
They created golems powered by compressed air instead of magic.
Definitely marking this down in my mental, "in case of Isekai" notes.
The correct response is to do as he asks... Respectfully remove the painting.
Then replace it with a picture of an orange baby and put his name on the plaque.
If you studied loads of classic art then started making your own would that be a derivative work? Because that's how AI works.
The presence of watermarks in output images is just a side effect of the prompt and its similarity to training data. If you ask for a picture of an Olympic swimmer wearing a purple bathing suit and it turns out that only a hundred or so images in the training match that sort of image--and most of them included a watermark--you can end up with a kinda-sorta similar watermark in the output.
It is absolutely 100% evidence that they used watermarked images in their training. Is that a problem, though? I wouldn't think so since they're not distributing those exact images. Just images that are "kinda sorta" similar.
If you try to get an AI to output an image that matches someone else's image nearly exactly... is that the fault of the AI or the end user, specifically asking for something that would violate another's copyright (with a derivative work)?
...in the same way that someone who's read a lot of books can make money by writing their own.
I hate to break this to you but that means you're not normal. If all you ever do in chat is talk about serious things that are of such earth-shattering importance that it would be incredibly rude and obnoxious for someone to post a silent looping video you're not normal, and no fun at all.
The way Element currently works, it's made for people like you... A strange minority that probably only thinks about "chat" in terms of communicating for an end goal and not for the pleasure of conversation.
I wasn't being pedantic. It's a very fucking important distinction.
If you want to say "unethical" you say that. Law is an orthogonal concept to ethics. As anyone who's studied the history of racism and sexism would understand.
Furthermore, it's not clear that what Meta did actually was unethical. Ethics is all about how human behavior impacts other humans (or other animals). If a behavior has a direct negative impact that's considered unethical. If it has no impact or positive impact that's an ethical behavior.
What impact did OpenAI, Meta, et al have when they downloaded these copyrighted works? They were not read by humans--they were read by machines.
From an ethics standpoint that behavior is moot. It's the ethical equivalent of trying to measure the environmental impact of a bit traveling across a wire. You can go deep down the rabbit hole and calculate the damage caused by mining copper and laying cables but that's largely a waste of time because it completely loses the narrative that copying a billion books/images/whatever into a machine somehow negatively impacts humans.
It is not the copying of this information that matters. It's the impact of the technologies they're creating with it!
That's why I think it's very important to point out that copyright violation isn't the problem in these threads. It's a path that leads nowhere.
Hah! I came here to make this exact comment.
I went and looked it up:
Nationally, undocumented immigrants pay $96.7 billion in federal, state, and local taxes in 2022.
From: https://www.floridapolicy.org/posts/undocumented-immigrants-pay-1-8-billion-in-florida-taxes-a-year-national-study-finds#%3A%7E%3Atext=Nationally%2C+undocumented+immigrants+pay+%2496.7%2Cbillion+in+additional+tax+revenue. (First search result)
I meant it as: You can be a man baby and still be correct. The two are not mutually exclusive.
...but don't let me stop you from overreacting to random, silly comments said in jest like a man baby 👍
Generative AI is theft in the same way that cars stole the livelihoods away from farriers.
Actually, it's not quite that bad because it just makes existing jobs more efficient. "Big AI" thinks that it will keep evolving at the same pace as Moore's Law but there's currently no evidence to suggest that's true.
It'll get faster, for sure but that won't make it better. I wouldn't be surprised if everyone's still complaining about AI hallucinating things 50 years from now. It'll just be quicker and easier to re-do the output when it does.
Here's my realistic predictions, based on everything I've actually used and studied about AI (I follow it very closely):
Please check the grammar! It costs nothing but a few minutes of your time! Seriously: It's a free service. Use it!).What do all of these things have in common? They're not taking people's jobs.
It's just like any automation that humans have adopted since the industrial revolution. Sure, a company may require fewer workers to perform a task but at the same time that creates new jobs that didn't exist before.
It's the natural evolution of work: As time goes on jobs become more specialized and old jobs go away. It's been like that for a long time now.
Is AI going to accelerate that trend? Yeah probably. But only in the short term. Long term, it will result in more jobs and more productivity.
Aside: I'd like to point out that the rich getting richer is an orthogonal concept to productivity. That's a function of government/economic systems. Not automation or scientific advancement.
