Show HN: Magma – Multiplayer AI for Artists
Hello HN community! I’m one of the founders of Magma, a multiplayer art platform. You might recall our earlier post (https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=30869131), and today we’re sharing a significant update with our artist-focused, multiplayer AI assistant, a first in the realm of collaborative creative tools. Hope you’ll like it!

See how it works in this YouTube video: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZESJfjwxLjk. For in-depth understanding, here’s our documentation (https://help.magma.com/en/articles/6711598-beta-ai-assistant) and our AI manifesto (https://magma.com/aimanifesto) which is a guiding document for us.

We're inviting you to get hands-on with this new feature. Join any of these canvases (up to 50 live contributors each): https://magm.ai/qnss, https://magm.ai/ei74, https://magm.ai/38mr, https://magm.ai/z1ti, https://magm.ai/zdub, https://magm.ai/ed93, https://magm.ai/1l84, https://magm.ai/xvu5, https://magm.ai/gd9j, https://magm.ai/pu6e. All of these canvases have extra feature flags enabled but if you’d like to go beyond them, feel free to join our beta community https://magm.ai/magma-beta-artspace-invite

Our artist-first approach is rooted in our belief that human creativity should remain the heart of artistry. With our AI handling routine tasks, artists can focus on true creativity. Importantly, our AI preserves artists' copyright as it provides a clear distinction between human-generated and AI-generated content.

Beyond just art, Magma is a powerful tool for game dev and animation, offering powerful design & review tools for all stages of the creative process. Our Slack/GDrive-like workspaces (we call them Artspaces) expose API and even shell tools. One can even render any artwork in the terminal. :)

Technically speaking, our collaborative drawing engine is powered by Typescript, Node.JS, WebGL, with a hint of WebAssembly for hand-optimized performance that even Chromebooks can handle. The backend also leverages a high performance Typescript Deepkit Framework https://deepkit.io

Our AI assistant runs on a worker-based architecture akin to Gitlab CI workers, currently leveraging Stable Diffusion 2.1. Future developments will allow connecting your own AI worker, training custom models within Magma, and plugging in API keys from other AI backends.

Feedback, questions, thoughts? Let's discuss! Happy creating with a helping hand of AI!

P.S. A shout-out to the HN community, our last post here helped us connect with an amazing technical angel investor who has made significant contributions. Looking forward to more such productive connections!

Only for an hour.
1. A yoga studio. I practice practically every day and have made many good friends. We started an informal "outnumbered yoga males club" that meets for tacos and ice cream every other weekend or so.

2. The local summer garden/community theater. I help build sets and paint. Occasionally, I run the spotlights.

3. Your neighborhood's local botanical club. It's just me (a middle-aged man) and a bunch of old ladies who run something called "weed warriors" where we go to local parks and beaches and eradicate invasive species with great prejudice.

"But my neighborhood doesn't have a botanica..." I'm willing to bet it does, you just don't know about it.

4. The local volunteer fire department. I am a volunteer EMT and Firefighter who got started when I fell and injured my back and my barber showed up on the ambulance. I rehabbed (hence, the yoga) and got into shape and signed up. EMT-B is easy to attain and Firefighter-I is even easier. I do one shift per week on average, usually Saturday nights and gained an instant group of people from which to make friends.
We assume they are leaving in the dead of night and grocery shopping at one of the 24 hour grocery stores. Maybe they have packages delivered somewhere they can pick them up in the dead of night. There is always someone around during the day, so for sure somebody would have seen them come or go if they were doing so during the day in the past 2 years. Our conjecture is either they are vampires (which is unlikely since it was daytime when they first arrived) or they are in the witness protection program.

I just remembered another detail. They have grass in their front yard. It is cut, but a service has never come by and cut it and, of course, we’ve never seen them cut it. But we don’t hear any sounds in the dead of night of it being cut and it doesn’t look like it was cut with a scythe. Frankly, it’s a mystery.
I did think F# had a pretty steep learning curve. So, not approachable. But how did it compare to Scala/Clojure? Those seem to have similar problem with being approachable, and adapted.

Especially since these apps usually behave worse. I still think that involuntary telemetry of any kind is malware. That would already qualify Windows too of course.
The main issues with this are:

1. It would be abused to hell and back - have you ever seen how people act with power?

2. Wrongdoers will still use covert tools. Cryptography has many forms, one of them is steganography - hiding information in plain sight.

So, what you end up with by enabling this is a totalitarian state, where the most vulnerable are hurt the most. Which is basically what we originally wanted to get away from.

How much GPU memory do you have access to? If you can run it, Guanaco-65B is probably as close as you can get in terms of something publicly available. https://github.com/artidoro/qlora. But as other comments mention, it's still noticeably worse in my experience.

OpenAssistant is pretty good. It still has some censorship but nowhere near the levels of commercial models.

It’s actually impressive how good it is considering the limited resources they have.
That's what I realized when I was debating whether to attempt yet another Doom port to some exotic device.

Maybe 10, 20, or 200 tops will ever actually see it. Fewer would attempt to play it.

It would by all accounts be a private and personal challenge, or an excuse to have some "cool" factor on the resume/portfolio.

Most people can easily sink inordinate amounts of time into a thing that they also expect will receive a proportional level of exposure AND either admiration or utter public scrutiny. But the reality is it's often none of the above. Just another project pushed into the ether.
Yeah, the resemblance is too strong to pass off as coincidence.

You quoted stuff in a vacuum. Why is any of this happening at all? If the Global North didn’t divide up Africa for themselves then allow America to come in hard after WW2 makes the entire situation nuanced. None of these African countries are able to practice protectionism or control their own destiny like the Global North did…because of the manipulation of the Global North.

There is not a normal relationship between Africa and the world. There’s an abusive one aided by imperialist colonialist powers “trading” with them.
imo copyright is irrelevant in countries that either can withstand the mpaa's pressure, maybe via good relations to the state department, or in countries that have bigger problems.
I’m working with the same set of blogposts, hackmds, and tweets as everyone else. It seems that JeanHyde went public with their experience instead of opening a dialogue with their advocate (JT) or core team member (Josh). JeanHyde says as much in their original post - assuming that the Rust Project had some sort of due process, JH didn’t want to legitimize that process.

As Josh’s post points out, there is no legitimate due process and the Rust project is actively a mess right now.

> suffering further harm

This type of language is actively muddying the conversation. Nobody suffered and nobody was harmed here. JH might’ve been upset and confused, but there was no “torture” to “suffer.” The only damage here is everyone leaving the project. In an alternative world, this would’ve been solved in one 30 minute meeting and nobody would’ve heard a thing.

> Do you feel entitled…

Yes, I do. I’ve payed my dues within the rust community, I’ve bet my career on Rust, I’m building a company that’s actively working to improve Rust. The project is a once-in-generation chance to replace C/C++ and I personally don’t think leadership is taking that seriously.

It doesn’t help when speakers like JH choose to go public instead of trying to smooth things over in a sensible manner. I get it, JH expected some sort of legitimate leadership, but now with all the context, I don’t see how you could believe anyone leaving the project or canceling efforts is 1) good or 2) going to solve any problems in the long term.
How would they? Torrents are fairly trivial to build a web site around.

For compatibility with the OpenAI API one project to consider is https://github.com/go-skynet/LocalAI

None of the open models are close to GPT-4 yet, but some of the LLaMA derivatives feel similar to GPT3.5.

Licenses are a big question though: if you want something you can use for commercial purposes your options are much more limited.

True. But even those with lousy commute can come in once a week. My company currently set Thursday as the day everyone is expected to come. It's also the only day with lunch provided. The other days only those with short commutes come in. On Mondays and Fridays the office is usually very quiet. We also have out of state folks. They are of course fully remote but expected to visit the main office 2-3 times a year, depending on their role. The one on my time who is remote said he would've come even if it wasn't required since they get good value from it and feel more energized after a visit.

Nope. Most accept crypto.
Regular mobility work and lifting.
After writing the comment, I considered writing a little toy example just to try out the idea... It would be neat to see Linux boot with 1000 CPU's...

But upon further thought, a lot of things such a system would need are actually rather inefficient to implement in software (ie. rollbackable RAM), yet quite cheap in hardware (for example rollbackable RAM can be implemented with regular RAM plus either a buffer of 'overwritten data' or a write queue)
An unbiased sample generator would be sufficient. That would be just pulling from the population. That’s not practically possible here, so let’s consider a generator that was indistinguishable from that one to also be unbiased.

On the other hand, a generator that gives the mode plus some tiny deviations is extremely biased. It’s very easy to distinguish it from the population.
It's been a few years, but didn't Windows include a feature back in the BIOS area to execute stuff from a BIOS area, IIRC to install drivers?

There's also the fun little dude called K3. Started as a cheapo synthetic form that causes oxidative liver damage in high doses, turns out your body makes it too when you take other forms of K -- it could be what the body uses to ship Vitamin K pass the blood-brain barrier, but nobody's sure.

The damage is still true though. Natural != good, especially when you screw with doses.

This is a good candidate: https://github.com/imartinez/privateGPT
The NVLink interconnect on all the GPUs is a huge part of it, and cannot come even remotely close to that bandwidth with consumer goods. Then the density of RAM to compute and power is huge. A single 4090 is 450 watts, for 24GB where this is 20x the memory for the same watts. 2.3Mw or so. If you say $0.14 / kwh, thats something like $325 / hour in power costs to run. Not counting additional cooling you are definitely going to need. And I am sure there is inefficiency this doesn't cover but 240v 10,000+ Amps for that?
I'll append this reference too, as it's related and interesting:

> Preferably self-hosted (I'm okay with paying for it)

The big models, if even available, need >100GB of graphics memory to run and would likely take minutes to warm up.

The pricing available via OpenAI/GCP/etc is only effective when you can multi-tenant many users. The cost to run one of these systems for private use would be ~$250k per year.

> You are proposing a system based on financial rewards for hosting.

No, I'm not. You are incorrectly assuming that blockchains are necessarily financial or that cryptoeconomic incentive structure involves net pay to someone.

> If you propose that people currently abusing the free service of archive.org, to the point of bringing it down, would pay a fee per download, you must be joking.

I'm not proposing that.

People "pay" for hosting by participating in some amount of upload to offset their download, in order to be granted higher download rates. That is the same principle as BitTorrent has used since its inception: Upload is measured and download is traded for upload to ensure users choose to upload for a while.

The difference is that information is split and diffused in a different way, which ensure that some amount of upload bandwidth and temporary storage is available for less popular data as long as there are people participating in the network, mostly when they are downloading something more popular and providing some upload in exchange. The network power law helps by ensuring the long tail of less popular content needs relatively little "extra" bandwidth so it is not onerous on the users who, most of the time, are downloading and storing popular data.

No money needs to be involved.

Probably some financial things will emerge much like paid Torrent sites do at the moment for enhanced access which some people prefer. You can't prevent them, but they are not required for the network's operation nor required to access it.
Yeah by Xbox I mean the console + game pass + PC/Xbox gaming division. The console itself at this point is not much more than a cheap(ish) locked down gaming PC.

It actually wasn't long ago that there was a similarly large type of wild animal around: The aurochs. The Eurasian variant of which was domesticated and resulted in the cattle of today.

> The aurochs was one of the largest herbivores in Holocene Europe. The size of an aurochs appears to have varied by region, with larger specimens in northern Europe than farther south. Aurochs in Denmark and Germany ranged in height at the shoulders between 155–180 cm (61–71 in) in bulls and 135–155 cm (53–61 in) in cows, while aurochs bulls in Hungary reached 160 cm (63 in).[45] (...) The body mass of aurochs appears to have shown some variability. Some individuals reached around 700 kg (1,540 lb), whereas those from the late Middle Pleistocene are estimated to have weighed up to 1,500 kg (3,310 lb).[5]

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Aurochs

They went extinct in 1627.

By the way, the European bison (Wisent) almost also went extinct. In fact it was extinct in the wild, when the last free-living exemplar was shot in 1927, three hundred years after the last aurochs.

I assume the European moose / elk survived because it lived in colder, less populated regions.
While I agree that the rhetoric around AI Safety would be better if it tried to address some of the benefits (and not embody the full doomer vibe), I don't think many of the 'core thinkers' are unaware of the benefits in AGI. I don't fully agree with this paper's conclusions, but I think https://nickbostrom.com/astronomical/waste is one piece that embodies this style of thinking well!
The governments even if they aren’t corrupt don’t have complete power. If a country was to reject things like this repeatedly and focus on themselves like various African countries have done: the Global North will not allow that to continue.

For the most famous examples: Lumumba and Sankara were murdered for bettering their country in ways like what is being quoted.

Agreed - it was very much a case of Debian taking the reasonable stance that it had standards that required it to only use free stuff, and wanting to have Firefox available to install, and then Mozilla requiring that they not call it Firefox, which they then quite willingly and correctly complied with.
Don't confuse alignment with censorship.

Most of alignment is about getting the AI model to be useful - ensuring that if you ask it to do something it will do the thing you asked it to do.

A completely unaligned model would be virtually useless.

Having to use microchips on each side of the injury is very strong evidence that it's not within our ability to fix properly.

Having not done something cannot be used as evidence that it is within our comprehension. It might be, it might not be, but "we haven't tried" is no evidence at all. Whereas "our intelligence must have finite limits" is evidence that somethings will be beyond us, even if we don't know exactly what.

But would ten thousand idiots have been able to use those mathematical advances to prove Fermat's Last Theorem? If not then there are limits to the "groups of people can do things one person can't".

Of course you can, until you meet someone like me who dislikes that very much. I think of my self as incredibly vindictive, and I act accordingly. So, think along the lines of - if you apply to a job that I am hiring for, and you try that nonsense with me, I will make sure you never get work anywhere near me. I will remember your name.

I also would not bet on me forgetting you, I do interview quite a few people, but negative experiences stick in my head like a sore thumb. So, I think your only options are pray that you don't meet me along the way, or someone like me. It'll be for the best for both of us, honestly.
