This is why some tried to push Altman out. To at least delay this stuff from happening.

Meh, that probably came from the govt. 'Change it or you'll be forced into legal action with us, which we'd prefer to avoid because we don't want to legally obliterate your organization'.

Highly doubt it this early in the game. I mean like 99.9999% doubt it. But all the reporting about those who did oust Altman was exactly this.

Moving AI forward as fast as possible in ways that would endanger humanity without putting any checks and balances for ethics. I think selling out chat gpt to work with industries that can make a lot of money from law enforcement in the military, is exactly what he was going to do.

He's one of the most powerful CEOs there you think the government sent some goons and black suits and threaten him to change change the corporate mission this early in the game?

Anything we're seeing publicly as consumer-facing tools is already years behind what the government has available. Now they just need to use it to provide universal basic income, universal healthcare, and universal free college education in order to get our country healthy, educated, and able to spend more time with their families. Even the price of food is out of control these days, not to mention housing, car payments, etc.

Jon Lam shared a list of 16,000 artists whose work was allegedly scraped by AI art generator Midjourney without their knowledge or consent:


Leak Names 16,000 Artists Allegedly Scraped by Midjourney

Midjourney is one of three image generators named in a class-action lawsuit filed by artists who didn’t consent to their work being used to train AI algorithms.

AI "Completes" Keith Haring's Intentionally Unfinished Last Artwork, Sparks Controversy

Back in 1989, Keith Haring made an intentionally incomplete artwork. That piece has now been “completed” with AI, resurfacing a debate about the ethics, originality, and purpose of artificial intelligence in art. What do you think?

Maybe it's not that surprising since a brain created that artwork and the AI was trained using billions and billions of parameters so it's more like a megabrain so kinda expected?

Guess it's true that behind every successful corporation are unethical, exploitative individuals who cheat to get ahead at the expense of thousands if not millions of honest, decent people.

Now compare them against each other and see which artists are scraped off each other. Make sure those get put in the gallows right next to AI.

That's exactly the problem: we ALL learn through repetition & example. As the saying goes, "Good artists copy; great artists steal". That's how writing, art, music, food, engineering, everything works! I've studied the concept of creativity extensively over the years & have a guide here:

How to be creative

This video is worth the full hour to watch:

I wouldn't say it's impressive or good at all. The original had the outlines of human forms. Not so much with the copying and pasting in the completed section.

That's what you are doing wrong. In my case, my company is paying for it (against my advice but then they hardly listen to me on anything).

Hate everything about that crappy interface.

Wish they would give the option of a sleek, minimal resource hungry UI like the old gmail. Most of us just need a basic email system. Nothing fancy!

Well, I use OneDrive to store my photos online and the family package is a good offer. Currently using 227GB.

They recently switched to O365 at work too, not a fan of it but w/e it's just work. Not something I'd want at home though, I rather my data to be 100% on prem. Although it still appears to have an actual local client, and you can still open files, but not really sure how it works, like if the files are just pointers and the actual data is in the cloud now. I downloaded our work schedule from sharepoint and tried to make a temporary change and it was warning me that I was editing the live copy. That's the other thing they've done is they're trying to force everything to sharepoint/cloud now. They killed off our user drive a while back and recently set our department drive read only, and it looks like they will remove it soon. We have TONS of documentation and stuff, not all of it is office documents either. Some executable programs and what not as well. Doubt we can upload that to sharepoint. It would be insane trying to input all of that to sharepoint one by one anyway. Then in 3 years from now they'll decide they want to switch to another solution. So spend all that time only to have to do it over again. They never leave stuff alone.
