Here’s one. Did they overfit their model and think they could block the bad prompts?

Music copyright is such a shitshow. It doesn’t surprise that they would try this.

Edit: I just heard the generated songs that are part of the lawsuit. They’re pretty fucked if this is true,

If it’s the same one from a few months ago, the wording is so vague that only huge companies with legal departments will be able to navigate the compliance maze they’ve set up.

The model should be capable of much better than this, but they spent a long time censoring the model before release and this is what we got. It straight up forgot most human anatomy.

Have you read this article by Cory Doctorow yet?

You’ve got it backwards. Glaze and Nightshade aren’t FOSS and Ben Zhao, the University of Chicago professor behind them stole GPLv3 code for glaze. GPLv3 is a copyleft license that requires you share your source code and license your project under the same terms as the code you used. You also can’t distribute your project as a binary-only or proprietary software. When pressed, they only released the code for their front end, remaining in violation of the terms of the GPLv3 license.

Moreover, Nightshade and Glaze also only works against open source models, because the only open models are Stable Diffusion’s, companies like Midjourney and OpenAI with closed source models aren’t affected by this. Attacking a tool that the public can inspect, collaborate on, and offer free of cost isn’t something that should be celebrated.

This article didn’t elaborate much further than what was in the headline. I feel duped.

What about this?

I don’t think it’s supposed to solve every problem. Just like very scene in the new Sand Land anime wasn’t 3D, the same goes for every other artistic tool. There are some things are easy with some tools, others it’s not well suited for.

What you have to ask yourself is what ways can it help you with what you’re trying to do.

This hasn’t been true for months at least. You really have to check week to week when dealing with things in this field.

As the photographic industry was the refuge of every would-be painter, every painter too ill-endowed or too lazy to complete his studies, this universal infatuation bore not only the mark of a blindness, an imbecility, but had also the air of a vengeance. I do not believe, or at least I do not wish to believe, in the absolute success of such a brutish conspiracy, in which, as in all others, one finds both fools and knaves; but I am convinced that the ill-applied developments of photography, like all other purely material developments of progress, have contrib­uted much to the impoverishment of the French artistic genius, which is already so scarce. It is nonetheless obvious that this industry, by invading the territories of art, has become art’s most mor­tal enemy, and that the confusion of their several func­tions prevents any of them from being properly fulfilled.

― Charles Baudelaire, On Photography, from The Salon of 1859

The article doesn’t mention LLMs, and many ML related things came out in the last year or two that aren’t LLMs.

AI isn’t just LLMs.

Don’t you like regulatory capture?

Are there many stupid and petty people in education? 🤔

I see.

I thought you couldn’t buy Spot, only rent?

Group chats.

I think you’re falling for the overblown fearmongering headline, and pointless memes is a great reason to make things.
