Way too many hucksters have pretended that synthesis methods are somehow not compression methods so it’s nice to see empirical evidence that a handful of synthesis methods (e.g., the popular energy-based models) can reconstruct their training data.
Models such as Stable Diffusion are trained on copyrighted, trademarked, private, and sensitive images.Yet, our new paper shows that diffusion models memorize images from their training data and emit them at generation time.Paper: https://t.co/LQuTtAskJ9 👇[1/9] pic.twitter.com/ieVqkOnnoX— Eric Wallace (@Eric_Wallace_) January 31, 2023

I have actually thought about this, the idea that AI could generate these sort of sitcoms "live", in real time, actually opens the door for a genuinely new type of comedy show

Oh for sure, not to mention baseball, with its convenient discrete events.
This reminded me that several sports bookmakers already have "virtual" horse races etc where you can bet on the outcomes of a computer simulation, i.e. nothing but a somewhat glorified casino game with a guaranteed edge for the house (in contrast to actual noisy sport events, where the edge is just in an expected-value sense, not guaranteed). Seems inevitable that the gambling industry will pick up this kind of stuff in a few ways, if it hasn't already.

Generating sports events is a doddle, computer games been doing it for 40 years. Championship Manager and others simulate an entire football world. Generating 'realistic' visuals of simulated sports is the big hump to get over, but if it can be done... well, hopefully fewer rapists in AI generated sports at least eh

Yeah but people don't watch sports just for sports, it's the whole off field/court drama, soap opera machinations of management, weird and/or bitchy quotes, messy social media antics, etc

https://inthesetimes.com/article/ai-artificial-intelligence-journalism-chatgpt-media-ethics
from hamilton nolan, who wrote some of the better gawker pieces back in the not so distant past
We are entering an era of media that will be populated by swamps full of videos and audios and photos and pieces of writing that are all completely computer-generated and designed to mislead people. If you thought all the cries of “fake news” during the Trump era were bad, just wait. The public is about to have a very, very hard time distinguishing what is real from what is fake. It is more important than ever that credible news outlets exist, and remain credible. In order to do that, we need to hold the line against AI taking over the work of human journalists. We need to unify around the idea that such a thing is not ethical. If we don’t, you can bet that companies will move as fast as possible to save a dollar — and utterly destroy journalism along the way.

nolan doesn't seem acknowledge that most people don't go to news websites, they search for whatever they want to search for and then they don't even click through to the article they just read the first couple of sentences that are scraped onto the the search results page and then they close the tab. in this context it doesn't matter if you have a 100% human In These Times website, or Buzzfeed, or whatever else. no one will go there because search results will no longer be a conduit to websites, they will just answer your question. Those 100% human websites in the meantime will shrivel and die because there is no ad money for them. the entire ad-supported web is about to be destroyed and thank fuck because it's an unusable mess right now, and google search results are pure, distilled trash. but where that leaves the bank balance of quality journalism i really don't know and frankly that feels more like the question that needs urgently to be addressed

been reading some stuff about the predicted coming wave of people forming deep emotional attachments to AI bots and what this will mean for society, what it says about the epidemic of loneliness etc, and saw some people arguing that it won't represent that big a change because people already form emotional attachments to their pets and that's not so different - do you think that's right?
You could argue that pets are real, sentient creatures and an AI chatbot is not, but it seems to me that many people's relationship with their pets involves them projecting human emotions and thought processes onto animals that do not think or feel in that way, so maybe it's a similar phenomenon? It makes me sad sometimes when I think about my cats don't actually 'love' me
