Do you want AI to exclusively be in the hands of big companies and the government?

Do you want the future of technology locked behind pay walls and censored so that you can’t use it to do anything they don’t want you to do?

If you think AI regulation comes in the form of making sure big companies can’t do bad things to you, you haven’t been paying attention.

Big AI regulation fan.

I’d say good riddance but the replacement is worse

It doesn’t really matter whether the original data is present in the model

Yeah it does. One of the arguments people make is that AI models are just a form of compression, and as a result distributing the model is akin to distributing all the component parts. This fact invalidates that argument.

This isn’t a slam dunk argument that there’s nothing wrong with what an AI does even if we grant it is transformative. It may also simply be proving that the copyright law we have fails to protect artists in the new era of AI.

If we change the law to make it illegal it’s illegal.

Over fitting is an issue for the images that were overfit. But note in that article that those images mostly appeared many times in the data set.

People who own the rights to one of those images have a valid argument. Everyone else doesn’t.

It is illegal to use copyrighted material period outside of fair use, and this is most certainly not.

Yeah it is. Even assuming fair use applied, fair use is largely a question of how much a work is transformed and (a billion images) -> AI model is just about the most transformative use case out there.

And this assumes this matters when they’re literally not copying the original work (barring over fitting). It’s a public internet download. The “copy” is made by Facebook or whoever you uploaded the image to.

The model doesn’t contain the original artwork or parts of it. Stable diffusion literally has one byte per image of training data.

They use a ton of data as reference points. It’s literally in the name of the technology.

Reference is the wrong word.

They learn the patterns that exist in data and are able to predict future patterns.

They don’t actually reference the source material during generation (barring over itting which can happen and is roughly akin to a human memorizing something and reproducing it).

RVC is the most popular tool I’m aware of

Vim absolutely chews through anything you throw at it. Lots of times we need data formated or lots of SQL queries and I’m the go to guy because I understand vim macros.

Especially if you have any form of RSI.

I wonder if it would be possible to make a user accessable way to expose similar power to the common user.

Those features aren’t enabled nor integrated. They’re added to Vim at its extensibility points.

And that has to be just about one of the pettiest to distinctions known to man.

It’s still built to write code. Yes text is code, but vim is not a text editor in general,. It’s made for programmers, nobody else is crazy enough to learn such obtuse syntax or want to have a developer with a scripting language built into it.

The features are in the editor. They are integrated with the editor. Yes, it’s through plugins, but they’re still part of the editor instead of part of some different program.

The word integrated literally just means you don’t go into some other program to run your build.

It’s an integrated environment for development.

It’s an IDE!

It has debuggers.

It has syntax highlighting

It has compiling.

Even if you have to install them as plugins, it’s designed to be doing all of those things.

Vim isn’t designed to facilitate the use of vimscript, vimscript is just an extensibility feature of Vim.

Vim is designed to edit code, by the people who were doing it back in the 70s and all of its features are there to enable better, faster, and more efficient editing.

It has scripts for the sake of those scripts enabling integrated developer features. Because they’re part of vim they’re in the environment and the program is used predominantly for development.

In that case every IDE is “just a text editor” because basically every IDE is built around modularity in this same way. This is just nitpicking over what is preinstalled.

“You see here my car has positions for all the parts of a boat so it’s easily made into a boat and it’s already waterproof but it’s just a normal car”

You’re not a normal text editor if you have a built in scripting language.

Not really, or that doesn’t feel right to my. Word and notepad basically still do the same thing except for that word lets you add style.

Like a manual vs an automatic car, maybe?

It literally has a built in scripting language.

Vim really is an IDE, not a text editor. It’s usable as an editor but overkill.

Nano serves a difference purpose. It’s like telling someone on a bike that a mustang is better.

Technical people down below were like “yeah cool, but there’s no place for it

I think you might underestimate entertainment and creation. Right now I can imagine some character or scenario in my head and generate a little avatar with stable situation then render it onto a live chat that (mostly) works.

I’ve paid like 2k for a computer that enables this. It’s make money from me at least.

It’s all about the idle power and software support.

Why would you move to a red hat product?
