Thing is, too, I barely ever post anything in that thread, because it'd be a pheomelaninic flood if I actually did. I sequester all my efforts to a website that anybody who would care already has the URL.

I post images I find amusing in that thread.

Basically, I'm still playing with the AI porn generator for amusement, not for titillation. If I want titillation I have plenty of traditional sources of imagery. They work better for that.

Microsoft's AI speech generator achieves human parity but is too dangerous for the public

Leveraging Vall-E's groundwork, the new AI voice tool integrates two major enhancements that greatly improve performance. Grouped code modeling allows Microsoft to better organize codec codes, resulting...

"Ok here you go."
PaintsUndo: An A.I. which takes an input image and generates a reasonable facsimile of a timelapse of that drawing being created.

They are rightfully concerned about AI bots being exploited in a way that would give bad actors access to your information/assets. But why aren’t they concerned about bad actors using their AI bots to steal and deceive in the first place? Aside from the obvious “we want to make money at all costs” motivation.

I received an email from Photobucket yesterday about how they're going to be using all of their stored images to train AI. All accounts are automatically opted-in by default.

I immediately deleted my account. No idea if that'll actually do anything, for all I know they've secretly kept my photos and will be using them for AI anyway. But nonetheless, I deleted my account.

Photobucket still exists? I was certain it blew up years ago.

It exists in the sense that it's still a repository of a bunch of pictures, even if its days as an image host are long past.

When I thought about it, "selling those pictures to train AI" seemed like an inevitable step.

And of course they want 5$/month to access ur account too...

At least you can d/l ur pics when deleting the account... which still takes, like, 30 days...

Well, I assumed it was Ai because it felt... Off, but with Bluer Skies some new people might join who may or may not try to join in and so on and I was giving the benefit of the doubt.

All those posts seem to be coming from data centers in Germany.

Not the same data centers, but data centers in Germany.

Sometimes something that comes up as a data center is just a gateway for a VPN, so that is a possibility... But it is strange that they are all in Germany and not spread out across the globe and or none of them being in the United States.

AI detection software labeled all those posts as ai generated. Now the software isn't foolproof, but you can also just use your eyes and know that people don't write like that.

I would counter that there are people who write like that, and that these people are constantly told by their peers how they sound like a prerecorded phone message.

It doesn't help that computer versioning actually does follow this convention.
v1.11.1 really IS newer (i.e., "bigger") than v1.3.6.
