Ellis always coming in clutch with the slam dunk on topics regarding ethics or responsibility

[@eFiggidy]

100000% Everyone calls AI race a "Gold rush" but people don't look at history and see how devastating the California gold rush was with deforestation, destruction of ecosystems with runoff and by rerouting rivers and mercury mines that continue to contaminate California soil and streams 100+ years later. During the rush only a handful of people got incredibly wealthy and in it's kinda feeling that way right now with zero laws, regulation or consequences for cheating and stealing.... "Allegedly" (in Ellison's voice)

[@IzzyBombz]

Formally requesting a 2 minute Ellis rant every episode

[@caleblatreille8224]

Ellis's comments at 52:06 hit the nail on the head. "A trillion-dollar company… can drastically alter the entire environment in which we create." The titans of industry want us to think we live in a vacuum where there's no difference between an AI or a human creating something, because it benefits them to do so. There has been a very long and consistent effort to reframe the terms in which all kinds of labour exists, not just art, and this is exactly how we've ended up with garment sweatshops, migrant farm workers, dirty mines (coal in the last century, rare earth minerals in this one), etc. Creative fields really are one of the last realms where the actual human expression of the person making the thing matters, but AI companies are trying to sell us on the idea that it shouldn't.

[@boardoriginsproductions]

👏 well said

[@Shotblur]

Human creativity will always have its place. AI will occupy the space where human creativity has already been reduced to a commodity-places where it didn't really matter anyway.

[@theglowcloud2215]

@@Shotblur bullshit. Which gen AI company do you work for?

[@austinlburke]

I feel like a lot of the difference between our reaction behind "human-made" and "AI-made" is the context behind the song or art. If a human makes an emotional song, we read into the lyrics and emotion and begin imagining a history of what that person went through which we can try to relate to. When we discover an AI made it, we understand that there is no overarching context for us to relate to or imagine.

Technically the CR-48 was not a consumer device as it was not sold anywhere. It was distributed free to developers and fans who then sold them in a second hand market.

[@arbeen]

Ellis is a good example of "tell me you're smart without telling me you're smart." How he makes what I think are complex ideas so easily understandable is 💯.

[@LouisPerronmusic]

OK. So at 50:30, there's a scenario where a double blind test is proposed where people use the same song to show to people and say "AI made this" or "Human made this" ... Except AI didn't make it, it just spliced ten billion songs together to make a new one in its black box. Maybe some would argue that IS creating in a nutshell, but I would argue it's just automating the programming of a song.

[@anibharad]

The CR-48 was a prototype device given to a select few (developers, early adopters) as part of a pilot program to gather feedback on the Chrome OS. So technically, the Chromecast was the first consumer hardware product by Google that was commercially available.

[@carlosgabrielsoares4164]

Complementary information: You actually do not need to train a completely new model for it to “forget” information. There is a process called machine unlearning which can be done with way less costs than completely training a new model that can effectively make the model forget about some topic

I love Ellis’ ethics mic-drop. Marques’ devils advocation this episode made me feel a bit weird… I know his intention was to create conversation, but idk it just feels icky that anybody, and many will, have that stance on AI generated art. And David saying, “but also, I think we just need to care more about the human stuff” is so true. Art = human experience! Maybe the day AI becomes sentient I’ll change my tune, but for now, nope!

[@irasmith-lopez2581]

The main difference in computer inspiration and human is that humans feel the music they listen to and want to express that to listeners looking for them to feel a new/certain way. When computer does it the outcome is better but loses the “feeling” and can become a quick way to make money rather than an artist desiring to express themselves.

[@BloodyPolarBear]

CR51 was a prototype that was seeded to reviewers. Never was sold to the public so it's not "consumer" product. Awesome to go down memory lane about Chromebooks and Chromecasts!

[@timomonochrom115]

On the topic what you're "missing": Many in the community are pretty disappointed with 24MP. Meanwhile Fuji or Sony etc are delivering 100MP. There is also the redundancy with the r3 line which was previously the line with lower MP counts for sports and journalism. Rumors are next generation Sony sensors that might maybe come to Hasselblad, Leica, Fuji etc as well could be 250MP.

[@keiz_]

That photo of the truck is real, its from 3 years ago, or more. The frame is powder coated red and it has a major lift kit. I've seen all kinds of trucks like that over the years, especially at SEMA show (one of the world's biggest car shows for industry). I've seen every colour you can imagine for frame colours. They had an aftermarket metal bumper it looks like, and the bumper does look like it was damaged in the accidebt. Its hard to make out detail super well since the photos is a bit grainy.

[@nihilistzen6133]

I do not want eye tracking. I use an r5 and a c70 regularly. I am looking at so many different elements on the frame when I am evaluating what I want to shoot, I am not just focusing my eye on the focus point. I am checking composition, background blur, color edges, and more. Unless the eye tracking only focused on the one point then locked while I evaluated the rest of the photo before clicking the shutter. This all takes place in the span of sometimes a just a few seconds, but to only focus my eye on the point i want in focus means I have to ignore the rest of the photo until after the shutter is clicked which sounds absolutely unacceptably terrible.

Marques's question about humans versus robots is brilliant. The difference is not just moral, but also business differences. When a human watches a video on KZbin, KZbin sells an ad to that human, or a human is paying for KZbin Prime, while you can't sell an ad to a robot. So robot needs to pay for the data.

No body is pointing a gun at Apple's head telling them to train an AI model, If they can't find legal datasets They can simply build one (I'm sure they can afford to) and release some weird commercial pointing out that the only reason OpenAI and Google are ahead is because they're training their models on stolen user data, it could actually pressure them and make them do things the right way.

One comment regarding Apple using the Pile dataset (by EleutherAI). In software development, it's a common practice to use open-source libraries or components in your products. However, if there is a bug caused by that or, even worse, a data breach caused by the security bug in the open-source library, it's not the library to be blamed - you are fully responsible. I'm not a lawyer, but if it worked the same way here, I would say it should now be Apple's problem to deal with.

[@ckrendelcovers]

I’m sure there were more data scientists here who share similar points, but feels like you do not see the scale and complexity of the datasets you talk about. The process of creating dataset is simple: 1. You need data to train model. This data should contain specific information and properties. For example photos of cats vs photos of other animals. 2. You hire team to go outside and take 20 thousand pictures of cats and 20 thousand pictures of other animals. 3. You train model and hope data was good enough. Or you start over. Question: With all money of the world how much time do you need to take 40 thousand photos? From business perspective it almost impossible. This is why Google trains models using CAPCHA. This is why you allow to process data in cloud in Apple t&c. You just need to try to build a decent model to classify something (super simple) but not using public datasets and without scraping web.
