I don't think the data collection methodology is really relevant. However the dataset was gathered, there are certainly ways to use it that would violate copyright. You couldn't print it in a book for example.

The important question is if training a generative AI on copyrighted data is a violation of copyright. US copyright law doesn't address this because AI didn't exist when it was written. It will be up to the courts to decide how this new application interacts with the law.

Most of these “indications” are poorly sourced commentary, out of context internal docs, and absolute (or convient) ignorance re the space, it’s history, and Google’s work therein.

Go back and look at the articles. Very little actual indications Google is “scrambling” they’ve been thinking deeply about this space for longer than most folks have heard about it.

Among many other related asides, there aren’t many global (or even US) comprehensive AI rules. However Google has issued white papers and has lobby heavily for thoughtful regulation. Google not recklessly following the current AI-hype train doesn’t read to me that they were caught flat footed. Anything but.

But the headlines are catchy

Why the word “guessing”?

I agree. It’s also important to remember that the brain is just the architecture definition and the mind the model. The ML models and the mind model are unrelated, however.

>the only thing I have seen is cheating on homeworks and exams, faking legal documents, and serving as a dungeon master for D&D. The last one is kind of cool, but the first two are illegal.

Well that's just cherry-picking. LLMs could do very socially-good things like act as an oracle for all internet knowledge or automate millions of jobs. (assuming they can get the accuracy issues worked out - which there are tons of researchers trying to do, some of whom are even on this sub)

By far the most promising use is allowing computers to understand and express complex ideas in plain english. We're already seeing uses of this, for example text-to-image generators use a language model to understand prompts and guide the generation process. Or how Github Copilit can turn instructions from english into implementations in code.

I expect we'll see them applied to many more applications in the years to come, especially once desktop computers get fast enough to run them locally.

>starts playing by the same rules as everyone else in the industry.

Everyone else in the industry is also training on copyrighted data, because there is no source of uncopyrighted data big enough to train these models.

Also, your brain is updating its weights based on the copyrighted data in my comment right now, and that doesn't violate my copyright. Why should AI be any different?

Data is incredibly valuable, OpenAI and Facebook have proven that. Ever bigger models require ever more data. And we live in a capitalist world, so if something is valuable, like data, you typically have to pay for it. So open source AI shouldn't be a thing.

Also, OpenAI is hardly open source anymore. They no longer disclose their data sources, data harvesting, data methodologies, nor release their training code. They also don't release their trained models anymore.

If they were truly open source, I could see maybe defending them, but at the moment all I see is a company violating data privacy and licences to get incredibly rich.

Thanks for clarifying!

Haha this is great, thanks for sharing.

They undeniably did copy them for training, which is the allegation. Not even Stability would deny that.

The question is whether doing that is legal. Plain reading of the US law suggests it is legal to me, but Getty will argue otherwise.

He seems to be like that in general

>. That's the one thing actually enjoyable about life

Opinion.

Hope you succeed ln trying to learn ML concepts as well 💪

Hope you get the help you need 🙏.

What good thing is OpenAI doing exactly? I have yet to see any of their technologies being used for any sort of societal good. So far the only thing I have seen is cheating on homeworks and exams, faking legal documents, and serving as a dungeon master for D&D. The last one is kind of cool, but the first two are illegal.

Additionally, if you work in any kind of serious research division at a FAANG, you'd know there is a collective suspicion of OpenAI's work, as their recent papers (or lack thereof for ChatGPT) no longer describe the exact and specific data they used (beyond saying The Internet) and they no longer release their training code, making independent peer review and verification impossible, and causing many to question if their data is legally obtained. At any FAANG, you need to rope Legal into any discussion about data sources long before you begin training, and most data you see on the internet isn't actually usable unless there is an explicit licence allowing it, so a lot of data is off limits, but OpenAI seems to ignore that, hence they never discuss their data specifics anymore.

We live in a world of laws and multiple social contracts, you can't just do as you feel. Hopefully OpenAI is punished and restricted accordingly, and starts playing by the same rules as everyone else in the industry. Fanboys such as yourself aren't helpful to the progress of responsible, legal, and ethical AI research.

I think he meant more about open source being threatened.

Here's a life coach advising Paul Atreides from Dune.

Input: Dune (Novel 1965)

------------------------

Prompt: I want you to act as a life coach for Paul Atreides (also known as Duke, Padishah Emperor, Kwisatz Haderach, Mahdi, Lisan al Gaib). I will provide some details about Paul’s current situation and goals as a member of House Atreides on Dune, and it will be your job to come up with strategies that can help me make better decisions and reach those objectives. This could involve offering advice on various topics, such as creating plans for achieving success or dealing with difficult emotions.

------------------------

Output: Life coach for Paul Atreides:

• Help him make better decisions & reach goals as a member of House Atreides on Dune. Offer advice on creating plans for success, dealing with emotions, and understanding his potential Mentat capabilities.
• Help him adjust to new environment & use resources to build confidence & security. Encourage him to embrace his destiny & use his skills to make a difference.
• Help him navigate a war of assassins, forge legal documents, enlist Fremen allies & more.
• Help him make decisions that will benefit his people & honor his commitments. Examine his emotional involvement, respect the error factor, & use his Mentat abilities to diagnose the problem.
• Help him understand Arrakis' attitude of the knife & the consequences of his decisions.
• Help him recognize the danger of trusting a traitor & the importance of making the right decisions. Guide him to make the best of his situation & use it to his advantage.
• Help him remember his emergency plan & use his courage & strength to make the right choices.
• Learn Imperium terminology, Fremen culture, & Great Convention rules to help him navigate his role as Duke of House Atreides.
• Help him use his Fremen training & experience to navigate the treacherous politics of Dune & protect his people.
• Guide him to use his leadership & cunning to outwit his enemies & find success.
• Help him make the most of his resources, recognize & counter his opponents' strategies, & use his own skills & knowledge to succeed.
• Help him understand the power of subtlety & finesse, & how to use them to achieve his goals.
• Support him to be brave & compassionate in the face of cruelty & tragedy.
• Help him use his azelle-like agility & the skills of his retainer Gurney Halleck to make the right choices & protect his people.
• Help him use his power to gain the throne, while avoiding the mistakes of his father & mother.
• Guide him to make wise decisions & find the best path forward. Kynes inspected Paul's stillsuit & found him to be a strange combination of softness & armed strength.
• Help him protect integrity of stillsuit, walk softly, avoid drum sands & tidal dust basins, never travel alone.
• Encourage him to be decisive and take action, like when he ordered the crew of a factory crawler to evacuate and his own air cover to take them in.
• Show him how to be mindful of details and think ahead, like noticing the poor neck adjustments on the stillsuits of two of the evacuees. Father & son must face difficult decisions & consequences.
• Help Paul understand his father's moral fatigue & the power & fear of statecraft.
• Guide him to use his inherited desert power & the Fremen prophecy to his advantage. Analyze intelligence reports, equipment, & the Fremen to ensure Paul's success.
• Focus on desert power, such as air power, & develop a plan to recruit five full battalions of Fremen troops before the first CHOAM audit.
• Be aware of the power of water on Arrakis, and use it to his advantage.
• Be aware of the potential competition from his own kind, and be prepared to defend his honor.
• Lastly, be open to the advice of those around him, and use it to make better decisions.

Getty is a blatant copyright infringer themselves.

Y'all need to brush up on the law.

For the US, here is the current legal code for copyright law: https://www.law.cornell.edu/uscode/text/17

If you've read the comments, you will know the answer. You already went my profile for some stalking reasons yet you ignored that lol

Lol at your previous posts. https://www.reddit.com/r/LateStageCapitalism/comments/zdeix8/ai_art_is_very_dystopian/j044ec2/

You are obviously disturbed and just latching on to arguing for thousands of words online as an outlet.

Cannot wait for next month when Ukraine or COVID-19 is back on the news cycle and you move on to /r/worldnews.

OpenAI is doing a good thing. They've found a new and awesome way to use data from the open web, and they deserve their reward.

Getty's business model is outdated now, and the legal system shouldn't protect old industries from new inventions. Why search for a stock image that sorta kinda looks like what you want, when you could generate one that matches your exact specifications for free?

Nice! I guess the heuristic part is how you use the queries at every iteration and make it “usable” in your iterative approach. What’s the size and dimension of your dataset? These graph-based ANNs are memory intensive, wondering what can you do for your dimensions?

If it’s a public repo/planning to release it on GitHub, I’d be happy to join!
