“Subscribers to X Premium, which grants access to Grok, have been posting everything from Barack Obama doing cocaine to Donald Trump with a pregnant woman who (vaguely) resembles Kamala Harris to Trump and Harris pointing guns. With US elections approaching and X already under scrutiny from regulators in Europe, it’s a recipe for a new fight over the risks of generative AI.”
I used it to make this picture of Elon and convicted Epstein associate Ghislaine Maxwell hanging out, crazy how realistic AI got
It fucked up his jaw.
No, that looks right to me.
It fucked up his whole face, no real human looks like that.
They do if they take enough ketamine
Generative AI isn’t the real risk. It’s letting musk go unchecked that is.
The cat’s out of the bag unfortunately. I can download stable or unstable diffusion on my home PC and make it generate all kinds of stuff. It’s open source so you can’t really stop that knowledge from spreading.
You can however recognize that the majority of people won’t do that, and write rules around software that is delivered as a service or for a fee. That would stop 90% of it.
So while regulating GenAI is possible, it’s not full fix. GenAI is kind of still the risk.
Do you mean Musk or did you misunderstand the comment?
My apologies, I missed the word Musk. I think what I said still stands that regulations can only hold back some of the damage, and that GenAI is still a big issue in and of itself.
With that said, you’re right about Musk. He’s a wildcard who is only out for his personal interets and he has way too big a following. He’s a large problem to be sure.
I don’t care about “Grok”, but just this morning I was looking at some creations that Stable Diffusion and Flux cranked out, and it’s crazy just how incredible these image generators are getting.
I also saw one example of software that allows you to live-stream with someone else’s face, using only a single photo of that person. You literally can’t trust anything you see, read, or hear online anymore.
My webhost also put out some AI wordpress thing that basically creates posts and images for your website automatically. What’s the point of the internet if everything is fake?
Dead internet theory
That’s the point I’m reaching as well. The internet as a mass of disconnected sites feels dead. Any attempt to look up information goes to pages that follow the same formula and feel very AI generated even with errors and unconsistencies typical for AI. What is the point of the open net anymore? The only value I feel like I’m getting is in specific trusted platforms or sites. It’s a sad state that we’ve reached.
I’m finding more and more websites with these long form question and answers about a topic. They all look the same and if you know enough about the subject you can easily tell that either AI or an idiot wrote these "articles.
I’m just going to start archiving human created content from the last 20 years, and stop looking for new content. The internet of 2024 is 99% quantity and 1% quality (from sites dating back more than five years).
Yeah exactly. No wonder people use tiktok to look up stuff these days. At least there you have actual humans sharing their knowledge.
For how long though? How do you know these are real people?
Please link the livestream face thing.
Not the article I saw, but this one has the demo of the guy using Musk’s face.
Does it have the link to download the tool?
It mentions the name of the software used, but I’m not sure if links are provided.
Ah yes, it does! Thanks, great! Seems like a bit of a pain to install though, I generally prefer package managers over cloning random github repositories.
👍
Can it do musk in a dress getting railed by a gun held by trump?
Pitcher and catcher
I’m not going to join Twitter to find out.
LMAOROLFZ…
I hate the 2020s so fucking much
The last '20s sucked also. All of this has happened before, and it’ll all happen again, but this time with ads and AI!!
So say we all.
And I’m sure nobody will be able to tell that it’s just generative AI by counting the “finglers.” /s
But this is a blessing to bad actors who trade in rumors and conspiracy theories—many of whom just so happen to be on Xitter by Pure Coincidence™.
“We are all going to die because we have new technology, help us governments, regulate it so we don’t make too much human progress at a time!!!”
I want to know what happened to “information wants to be free”.
But it’s not free. You have to subscribe to X premium
AIs aren’t real information.
I want to know what happened to “information wants to be free”.
I think its more “Fuck you, pay me” now that Musk is running a few rubles short of what he needs to stay the world’s richest man.
“Information wants to be free”, it never was. Thats only a small part of the quote. The whole quote is:
Information Wants To Be Free. Information also wants to be expensive. …That tension will not go away.
“human progress”
“information”
Oh boy! Can’t wait to experience the ramifications of this one!
What’s next? Gonna try to recreate Deep Impact, just to see?
Oh that’s what Grok is. Unnecessary attention for Flux. Musk is going to ruin it for us all.
I mean, can’t you do this with any AI?
A lot of the commercially available image generators will block certain terms, like copyrighted characters or presidential candidates, or celebrities in their underwear. You can of course do this all without limits on your own hosted versions of stable diffusion and whatnot. But a commercially available option without any limits is actually news.
The reason commercial image generators put those limits in place isn’t because they want to uphold an ethical use of their technology, but because they will get sued if they create a platform for making harmful images.
Musk seems to be a big fan of getting sued lately, so best of luck to him on getting even more lawsuits against him.
Interesting. Just tested this on the publicly o one I use and typed in “President Biden, White house”. Sure enough it produced pictures of him standing within the White House but none of them had his face being displaying correctly. Either messed up, blurred out or just looked horrifying.
