And a horrendous use of resources.

This was a stable diffusion model trained on hundreds of thousands of images. This is actually a pretty small training set and a pretty lightweight model to train.

Custom / novel SD models are created and shared by hobbyists all the time. It's something you can do with a Gaming PC, so it's not any worse a resource waste than gaming.

I'm betting Google didn't throw a lot of money at the "get it to play Doom" guys anyway.

I mean, yeah, there's code, but none of it is Doom.

Is it though? We can show an AI thousands of hours of something and it can simulate it almost perfectly. All the game mechanics work! It even makes you collect keys and stock up on ammo. For a stable diffusion model that's pretty profound emergent behavior.

I feel like you're kidding yourself if you don't think this has real world applications. This is the kind breakthrough we need for self-driving: the ability to simulate what would happen in real life given a precise current state and a set of fictional inputs.

Doom is a low-graphics game, so it's definitely easier to simulate, but this method could make the next generation of niche "VidGen" models extremely accurate.

once it's generally accepted for this type of ad to be displayed they'll jump on it real quick.

That's inevitable, but in this scenario they own the patent.

It's not my problem you don't understand the concept of the "ruling class".

Owning vast capital (and land is capital) does give a degree of undemocratic power over government policy.

But go ahead and keep letting billionaires buy up everything until we live in a feudalist society. I'm sure nothing will go wrong.

I'm saying that buying insane amounts of agricultural land gives him and his family a permanent rent-seeking position over a basic necessity, so yeah, he is taking over a part of the world.

The archive isn't completely dead with that yet.

They've just been sued into almost certain bankruptcy.

And I think you can't just randomly buy a .org domain, can you? You have to be officially a nonprofit.

lol, no.

.org just means "organization". There are literally no rules on who can own one.

4chan is a .org domain...

You think Neo-Nazis are better than their enemies?

Enough with the bad faith semantic arguments, we're talking about groups that organize at scale on Telegram. ISIS heavily recruits and organizes on Telegram, that's why I brought up Islamic extremism.

Any campaign of extremist violence, regardless of ideology, is a problem. Now kindly back off unless you have something of substance to say.

This Bill Gates?

For those who don't understand Ford's strategy here: Ford has tons of goofy patents like this, and they're just waiting for someone else to do this so they can get royalties.

They're patent trolling bad ideas...

I was talking about drug cartels, Neo-Nazis, and Islamic extremists, not your "bros".
