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

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.)

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

Thanks for bringing it to our attention. Discovery is difficult right now, advertising in places that are genuinely relevant is a real service.

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.

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.

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

Not a stupid question at all - the way you do it isn’t intuitive, and I hope gets made easier with further software developments. In the search bar near your username at the upper right enter, communityname@instancename, for ex. [email protected], and if it’s working right the version of the community that’s synced to kbin will show up. Catch is that right now it randomly seems to glitch, and fail or return nothing, so if doesn’t work at first you’ll just have to try again later. I’m sure the people running the site are aware of the issue and trying to get it sorted out, for now it’s one of the things to put up with a platform that basically started last month.

Gorogoa had a beautiful and unique look. Looks like a detailed illustrated book in a multicultural fantasy setting.

You could even do an image with a QR code to the kbin or lemmy address.

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

This is a great find.

Neat. I've never used terms that were as close to gibberish, but I've used made-up extensions of real root words - for ex. "panthalassan" - in image prompts with stable diffusion and midjourney, with decent results. I doubt that it is any more effective than using real words, but it is fun to do.

I’ve seen the fedi search link before, it’s a great idea. That said, it’s currently no good for finding things on kbin - for example, try searching AskKbin, which has been quite active - you get almost nothing back. Hopefully it will be better in a few days.

I agree with much of what other commentators have been saying. Discouraged I’m on board with, I think having a strict rule is premature in a new community that’s small in scale - we can afford to wait and see how conversations play out and reevaluate later. Civility is the principle that’s important.

Nice. Like the combination of a more illustrative style with a scene you might see in every day life.

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.

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.

Yes. The content of various common minerals can vary by orders of magnitude across different sources. Though I pay attention to this less on its own and more in the context of brewing tea, since the water you use affects the outcome quite a lot.
