What does snappier even mean in this context? The latency from connecting to a server over most network connections isn’t really noticeable when talking about text generation. If the server with a beefy datacenter-class GPU were running the same Mistral you can run on your phone, it would be spitting out hundreds of tokens per second. Most responses would appear on your screen before you blink.

There is no expectation that phones will ever be comparable in performance for LLMs.

Mistral runs at a decent clip on phones, but we’re talking like 11 tokens per second, not hundreds of tokens per second.

Server-based models tend to be only slightly faster than Mistral on my phone because they’re usually running much larger, much more accurate/useful models. Models which currently can’t fit onto phones.

Running models locally is not motivated by performance, except if you’re in places without reliable internet.

Formatting for docx files isn't the same between modern desktop Word, and the online version either, I've had trouble with tables for example.
I used to agree with this, but there's been research coming out of Google that has altered my opinion. Specifically, Google's gotten rather good at making AI spit out unaltered training set data[0]. This is only possible if the AI is remembering large portions of the original trained-on works, which would make the weights infringing.

[0] In the most egregious case, they found that just asking ChatGPT to repeat a word over and over again will make it spit out training set data verbatim. OpenAI's response was to stop any conversation with over a page of repeated words, so you can't replicate this.
Looking at the source tweet[1], this isn't a list of artists specifically used to train Midjourney, but instead is a list of artists used to pre-render additives that can be added to an existing prompt much faster than an arbitrary addition.

The assumption is that these artists probably are in the Midjourney dataset, but Midjourney doesn't specifically go out and find these artists' art and steal it—they steal art indiscriminately.

I never trusted/liked protective cases. Modern phones are already too big, and I feel like the added bulk makes it more likely that I will drop it.

Differences in output are generally varying levels of difficulty of “spot the difference” and rarely changes the overall image composition by much. I always use nondeterministic algos and it doesn’t have any affect on my ability to refine prompts effectively.
What a waste of money. Just get rid of them. Most countries don't have a ground-based ICBM deterrent, SLBMs are sufficient. Fixed silos just mean that you're willing to have have a large section of the homeland irradiated from a preemptive strike and are just a liability in the era of satellite reconnaissance and precision weaponry.

There is no reason why the air farce needs to host two legs of the nuclear triad. Their entire doctrine is to kill as many enemy civilians as quickly as possible, because it's cheaper to kill them from a distance than sending in the army. This entire doctrine is the reason behind the existence of an independent air force, such as the RAF, which was designed as cheap alternative for maintaining imperial control. If we ever actually need the air force then we have already lost the war.
So if they know it wont work, and do not put that info into the store's compatibility matrix then it's still a bait/switch to me. Compare to the Resident Evil page which does set the store limits on what devices can dl it.
Reading the context in the linked Twitter, this is not actually the list used to train.

After the model was already trained, they scraped this list of artist names off Wikipedia and did some optimizations so that prompts using them would render faster.

The actual model was trained on everything, whether it had a Wikipedia page or not.

The next metaphor would be quantum computers.

There are a few that have started suggesting quantum mechanics playing a large role in cognition, but very few take them seriously (obviously it has an effect, but likely much can be understood more classically, etc).

The fact that few are moving toward that style of thinking seems to give a bit more credibility to NNs being closer to the correct model. If spiking NNs take off more, we'll probably see more arguments around that, and if Blue Brain's full in-silico modeling takes off we may see the succinct description given by those studies used to describe ideas. However, to first approximation, NNs and spiking NNs aren't really a bad way to reason about large descriptions of brain dynamics, in many circumstances.

Seems like that only applies if you anthropomorphize the AI and consider it the author, rather than a tool utilized by the artist. I mean, yes, the AI is doing the bulk of the work, but so is photoshop for a lot of digital art.
They apparently considered creating their own test, but realized they couldn't do it fast enough to replace the SAT/ACT. [1] But from their new status quo (no test), they could take all the time they need to create a new test. I'm not sure CA voters will countenance the new admissions policy, which forces many top students to apply to expensive out-of-state schools because the UC system is so difficult to get into via traditional means (grades and test scores).

A society without art is a society without joy or self awareness. A society with only AI created art is a facsimile of joy or self awareness.

I've been messing with this for a bit and as a single person, I find this a lot more intuitive than something as complex as Notion and something made for a large business like monday.com and Asana. Only issue I have is Flutter. As much as I love it being cross platform everywhere, on the iPad app, I have a lot of touch sensitivity issues. I have to double click a lot of buttons for them to react and a lot of the feel of the app in general is somewhat unpolished and finnicky.

> Artists (who have been dehumanized to styles)

The supporting screenshot says 1,000 styles and 4,000 artists, so clearly they were not dehumanizing "artists" to "styles."

EDIT: Attempting to converse with any Q4_K_M 7B parameter model on a 15 Pro Max... the phone just melts down. It feels like it is producing about one token per minute. MLC-Chat can handle 7B parameter models just fine even on a 14 Pro Max, which has less RAM, so I think there is an issue here.

EDIT 2: Even using StableLM, I am experiencing a total crash of the app fairly consistently if I chat in one conversation, then start a new conversation and try to chat in that. On a related note, since chat history is saved... I don't think it's necessary to have a confirmation prompt if the user clicks the "new chat" shortcut in the top right of a chat.

That does seem much nicer than MLC Chat. I really like the selection of models and saving of conversations.

It looks like you’re still using the old version of TinyLlama. The 1.0 release is out now: https://huggingface.co/TheBloke/TinyLlama-1.1B-Chat-v1.0-GGU...

Microsoft recently re-licensed Phi-2 to be MIT instead of non-commercial, so I would love to see that in the list of models. Similarly, there is a Dolphin-Phi fine tune.

The topic of discussion here is Mistral-7B v0.2, which is also missing from the model list, unfortunately. There are a few Mistral fine tunes in the list, but obviously not the same thing.

I also wish I could enable performance metrics to see how many tokens/sec the model was running at after each message, and to see how much RAM is being used.

On the whole, this app seems really nice!
Same thing, except that my collection is digital (due to shipping issue). Any subject that interests me, I collect some recommendations and get all the books in my library. And just like the parent comment, I usually do a quick browse (1 or 2 minutes). That to have some kind of metadata in memory, that I have a book that talk about this specific thing.

The nicest thing is that I have enough books to read for years now, so if I'm bored and don't feel like reading, that usually means that I should either sleep or go for a walk.

Apple’s SE series is actually really nice if you don’t like the trend of bigger phones - it’s the same (or similar) internals as the new ones but in a small form factor (4.9 inches? Whatever the 6s had). I don’t want a large phone that barely fits in my pocket, but I want decent internals, so I have one. Apple is by no means a perfect company but I think the SE was one of their correct decisions.

You either missed the part about thought exercise or slipped in a bad-faith query.

One side has tried repeatedly to compromise, the counter-party is fundamentally opposed to any compromise. Try gaming that out and see how you might succeed in reaching a successful compromise for peace.

>Do you really think that if Hamas (not to be confused with the civilians who are being murdered) "laid down their arms" then Israel would start to treat Palestinians like humans? ... Really?

What happened when Egypt was offered land for peace? What happened when the PA was offered 95% of the west bank in exchange for peace? Are you familiar with the "Peace Now" movement from the 1990s? It was way too large to call it a fringe movement? The response was suicide bombings. That was a quarter century ago and the last 25 years have made it rather bleak to realistically find peace, unless you think "the river to sea" as a peace proffer, perhaps. Do you? Really??

Granted its radicalizing for sure. Can you see how Palestinian if not Perso-Palestinian tactics would be as radicalizing on Israelis? Is one radicalization better than the other?

>30,000 Palestinians have been murdered. A million people are facing death by starvation and disease. It needs to stop.

Casualty stats are like polls. Its quasi data at best. OF COURSE it needs to stop. BILATERALLY. Have you heard one Palestinian person so much as nuance that their misery is a reaction to a Palestinian act of atrocity? Its a glaring double standard.

Its a race to the bottom, and pretending that the Palestinians are pure victims while the Israelis are pure evil only illuminates your one-sidedness in this matter.

Until both sides are able to find empathy for each other's existence, the race to the bottom is a sure thing.

One last question for you:

Can someone name a large-scale armed military conflict in which the civilian population caught in that conflict weren't treated as expendable?
If you squint, it’s the same thing. Simulated annealing generally attempts to sample from the Boltzmann distribution. (Presumably because actual annealing is a thermodynamic thing, and you can often think of annealing in a way that the system is a sample from the Boltzmann distribution.)

And softmax is exactly the function that maps energies into the corresponding normalized probabilities under the Boltzmann distribution. And transformers are generally treated as modeling the probabilities of strings, and those probabilities are expressed as energies under the Boltzmann distribution (i.e., logits are on a log scale), and asking your favorite model a question works by sampling from the Boltzmann distribution based on the energies (log probabilities) the model predicts, and you can sample that distribution at any temperature you like.

Great article on the Apollo mission return "quarantine". One lesson is that it got not much priority (the vehicle itself released in air and ocean water), and not much effort: lots of things in the lab were not tested or designed sufficiently (broken glove / gloveboxes, fire procedures involving breaching containment...) Another lesson is that this was apparently not tested or wargamed anywhere enough. No test run? A third is that of course it didn't go perfect, with the two first points as a starting point, and the fact that it was the first run. In hindsight, of course it would fail.

That argues for at least taking the idea of containment (for AI or Mars samples) more seriously. But it also argues that it will (of course) not be taken seriously enough. Plus amateurs not taking things seriously either. So, taking it even more seriously because of this prior experience.

Science is used to "fair warnings" (screwdriver criticality experiments, Marie Curie, now lunar samples, but yes also smallpox ... plenty of stories) - but all of these were minor: a few persons died, the rest learned. And the risk for a sufficient AI is not in the same scale. For that one, we don't have much experience. Comparable might be high containment pathogen labs maybe? - with plenty of problems themselves; and the difficulty of cleaning computers after an intrusion (proper procedure being a clean re-install - not possible for an AI leak.)
Computable by who?
Because you don't have the full list of correlations and there are superlinear things (tail events) you'll get a probabilistic estimation at best.
I'm not really sure how this connects to the argument. No one is trying to grant authorship to an algorithm - it would be a ridiculous effort that was never even in the cards. In these copyright disputes, the authorship on AI outputs would be on the person using the AI. Generative AI takes inputs that are provided by a human and transforms it into certain outputs. Legally speaking, I don't see it as different from me getting protection for something I did in Photoshop - trying to somehow give Photoshop authorship would be absurd.

> This is only possible if the AI is remembering large portions of the original trained-on works

which is fine in my books. You could equivalently produce the same works from searching thru the digits of pi.

The only enforcement that's needed is on the end user of the model - if they choose to produce the training set, they are violating copyright. The creator of the model _does not_ violate copyright merely by creating and distributing the weights of a neural network, as long as the space of potential output is vastly larger than the training set.
I mean, California is larger than some countries. There is plenty of space but we all know that that space isn't equally valued.

It's not just enough to be in an area with decent weather, you gotta be close to the hotspot hubs of SF/SD/LA. And that's where "shortages" start to come. Pareto principle at work.

Also coastland is a minority of land in CA. Go out to the east in So Cal and it's all burning hot desert, with infertile land. Go north towards central CA and it's 90% farmland more than anything (CA does produce a ton of food for the country). There's less land to work with even if you wanted to build out.

So AI (or a simpler, non-statistics-based algorithm) can't produce these artifacts and will never be able to? Why? Are these artifacts "human souls" or something?

> status quo in the United States is that AI-generated images are not currently eligible for copyright.

Aren't they? I thought it was just that the copyright holder has to be a recognized legal entity (so, the copyright would have to belong to the human operator or their employer, not to the ai model itself).
I don't think you can broadly use trademark protection though, can you?
Curation is the key. I also curate my media (movies and music albums) library. And it's more enjoyable to put on an album you like and purposely listen instead of launching a random playlist. Or browse Netflix.
If web users had to pay money for specialized 3rd-party plugins just to use CSS filters then everything would just get rendered server side.

Same logic applies to the physical space. Just throw a filter on the well side. That avoids shipping a bloated, unnecessary package to each and every client just to run water. :)
Nobody has ever denied that unsafe Rust code exists, so I don't know why people keep acting like it's some gotcha that invalidates the value of Rust. The point is that in Rust, it is clearly delimited where those unsafe operations are occurring, so you can focus on making sure those specific parts of your code are solid. In C, you have to be vigilant about your entire code base, not just a handful of blocks. Moreover, most Rust programs don't need to use unsafe at all, so those authors can rest easier.
Apple is really focusing on this tell and tale kind of adversiting recently, I guess.
Yeah I was wondering what it meant to prerender them but yeah this has little to do with the actual training dataset, it's really just a list of artists. The assumption is that people are going to use them frequently independent if it has an effect or not.

Nice app. May I suggest one change? Instead of sending a link to verify the email to create workspace, consider sending an OTP. This way, you don't need to manage the headache of opening the app post verification as you can accept the OTP on the same screen that accepted the email. In my case, after verification, the app is just a white screen.

I grew up in a different state, and was very surprised that nearly everything in Texas is an actual crime (misdemeanor). So yes, you get arrested for them here, because you committed a misdemeanor. Other differences that surprised me: It's legal to drive through a red light as long as you entered the intersection before the light turned red. Pedestrians don't automatically have the right of way. It's legal to change lanes in the middle of an intersection, even while turning.

I've had to re-learn a lot of legal things since moving here.
From [1] "Not every character qualifies for trademark protection, however. For a character to be trademarked, the character cannot be too similar to other existing trademarked characters and must be used to brand products or services. Once a character meets these requirements, the owner can file for trademark protection."

So I don't know if you could apply trademark to e.g., every card in magic, but maybe only to the key characters?

Microsoft and every other tech company is indeed investing billions in the tech. I'm sure each company can fund the entire (woefully underpaid) art industry by themselves, let alone the 10 or so tech hubs altogether.

But they are happy to throw money at AI instead for the payoff of being the next big tech brand.
