And i don’t mean stuff like deepfakes/sora/palantir/anything like that, im talking about why the anti-genai crowd isn’t providing an alternative where you can get instant feedback when you’re journaling

    It took both time and experience before the workpeople learnt to distinguish between machinery and its employment by capital, and to direct their attacks, not against the material instruments of production, but against the mode in which they are used.

    Sadly, a lot of them still can’t, as evidenced even in this thread.

      I hope AI discussion in the future start to blossom further into something better, because as it stands, it just feels rather disheartening when things get like bad? I’m not sure what it is with AI that leads to like, other comrades willing to call other comrades “dumb” elsewhere or other dejecting statements. It just gets very demoralizing.

        I think it will pass in few years max. AI bubble will either break or be deflated, Chinese will improve their tech even more, online shitstorm artisans will either find new niche or get a job, AI creations will get less recognizable and so on.

        It will improve but I feel that some comrades are disconnected from stories where AI is having a positive impact in people’s life. Stories that will make them question: “Why are there good stories in China but not in the West? What is missing for the West to have similar stories?”.

        I try to post a lot of AI news in c/Technology but it clearly is not working. Sorry for the ping but @[email protected] by pure coincidence do you have any ideas on how to improve visibility regarding AI?

          I like the articles you and yog post currently. I browse Local, not Subscribed, and they often appear on my timeline. With Lemmygrad growing and more posts being made per day it’s natural that not everything will get seen equally.

          Maybe people might be interested in more practical uses of AI, I know at least I am. A lot of stuff we already use is neural networks (what I mean by AI personally) like image upscalers, automated image coloring, speech-to-text (like Siri, but not huawei’s voice assistant and it shows and they should really do something about this because it sucks!), moderation tools so that humans don’t have to look at CSAM (very important), translation work is also getting very good with neural networks for all sorts of usecases but you don’t have to rely on google translate anymore when that tool had a 60% accuracy at best.

          I’m just spitballing but I was just seeing a new tool that automates retopology for 3D artists, which is when you simplify a 3D model you sculpted to drastically lower its polygon count and make it easier to animate. And I was thinking there’s a lot of places in my own formal work where I could free up effort if I could have similar tools, like photoshop has genAI (if you use cloud which uh, let’s just say not everyone lets Adobe through their firewall…) but some filters and effects such as selecting a subject still rely on old algorithms and don’t work very well. Selecting hair especially has been refined over the years but it’s still a mess to perfectly isolate a subject, it takes a lot of time and the results vary. Being able to click a button and have a perfect selection would be dope, and I’m sure neural networks can take care of this.

          edit - I also have some ideas for posts about AI, hopefully people won’t think I’m trying to troll by posting them (if I do end up making them)

            I think I have a couple of videos of people in China sharing their AI tech stack for their work. For example:

            Maybe, I have to find some regarding artists, designer and singers. 🤔
