You can call me AI

I see possibilities with AI art. I’m interested to see where artists take it. I don’t like how it works now, but that doesn’t mean that it can’t evolve into its own genre. This stuff we are seeing now is garbage; but, I can envision an artist who trains a system up on their own style who is able to see new possibilities in it.

I love pinball art. There’s so many themes that normally I’d hate that somehow I love in pinball - circuses and magic and cards. None of that stuff in and of itself appeals to me. Yet, there’s just something so great about it all. I do think it needs a human who understands humor and fun and play and how to translate that feeling visually.

In the beginning there was a lot of interest in using those diffusion models to purposely create hallucinations: no intent on creating ā€œfunctional clip-artā€ or ā€œplagiarize popular author for profitā€, but ā€œhey, we trained this model to recognize and generate eyes, let’s make it reconstruct this imageā€ ← BTW that was real nightmare fuel

But that doesn’t precarize jobs so not much interest in the real artistic uses of AI models

What will I do with all this abundant spare time I have?

Oh.

lol, apparently machine-learning systems have serious trouble decoding human morse code? self-clocked, sloppy human timing, full of local slang & abbrevs, and not much of a real life training corpus

so learn morse to dodge the panopticon for a while

(whole thread at link is… interesting)

I absolutely cannot wait until people wake the fuck up and everything involving or featuring AI, whether it’s art, LLMs, hallucinating search engines, ā€œassistantā€ buttons or just the mindless invoking of the buzzword by clueless CEOs and marketing executives, is universally shunned and properly seen as worthless, counterproductive and even embarrassing.

I do not understand how this hasn’t already happened. AI is enshittification on a breathtaking scale, making everything worse across so many different fields and aspects of society, and yet people seem to… not even notice? Deny it? Even worship it? It should be about as popular as DIVX, Metaverse or the Virtual Boy, yet people seem to be incapable of grasping the obvious so far.

I’m getting scared that soon the entire world is going to be the equivalent of a shitty AI-illustrated Harry Potter pinball machine, and society will just shrug, lower its standards and pretend this is the way it has always been, while those of us who remember a better way will be ignored and treated as luddites.

At last, a use case for AI agents with sky-high ROI: Stealing crypto

Using AI models to generate exploits for cryptocurrency contract flaws appears to be a promising business model, though not necessarily a legal one.

Researchers with University College London (UCL) and the University of Sydney (USYD) in Australia have devised an AI agent that can autonomously discover and exploit vulnerabilities in so-called smart contracts.
