𝔊𝔴𝔢𝔯𝔫 @gwern Jan 18 Playing around some more with MJv6 and much more minimalist prompts: I still don't have an intuition `--weird` and it seems like it cancels out `--chaos` to a considerable extent, but `--tile --chaos 20` seems very nice for dropcap variety+quality.2,281180.8%View post activity

𝔊𝔴𝔢𝔯𝔫 @gwern Jan 12 That awesome old UPS logo (commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/File:UPS_ …) hits a bit different now that I look more closely at it. No wonder they had to change it, too easily misunderstood by non-corvids: pic.twitter.com/hKi2eJu8tx4,633992.1%View post activity

𝔊𝔴𝔢𝔯𝔫 @gwern Jan 12 We've updated popups for the new HTML Arxiv, but it's still too buggy to rely on...

𝔊𝔴𝔢𝔯𝔫 @gwern Jan 10 (It's kind of impressive. I've been testing out & reporting poems since July 2020, so there must be several hundred reported failure examples from me alone, and yet, here we are in 2024 and it's blandly writing A/B/A/B and insisting that it's doing eg Browning's blank verse.)2,107291.4%View post activity

𝔊𝔴𝔢𝔯𝔫 @gwern Jan 10 Incidentally, 20 failed (and reported) poems later, I can report that neither ChatGPT-3/4 can do non-rhyming poems yet. They also just confabulate rhymes if you ask for blank verse and confabulate that it is blank. You can still few-shot them... except they'll rhyme at the end 😩2,555341.3%View post activity

𝔊𝔴𝔢𝔯𝔫 @gwern Jan 10 Bizarrely difficult. MJv6 never succeeds even a little bit, while DALL-E 3 errors out 9/10 times (!).

𝔊𝔴𝔢𝔯𝔫 @gwern Jan 9 The relationship of genes & epigenetic markers continues to befuddle people and we don't have a good quip or metaphor to explain that epigenetics mostly mediates/is a mechanism.

𝔊𝔴𝔢𝔯𝔫 @gwern Jan 7 The underlying models are presumably nevertheless far more general than their predecessors like DALL-E 2... but maybe not as much general as you'd think from the general quality increase, and it very hard to undo the RLHF/instruction-tuning specialization/braindamage.1,107211.9%View post activity

𝔊𝔴𝔢𝔯𝔫 @gwern Jan 7 DALL-E 3: after the 1st 5, I told it 'OK, now generate an image on the theme "in praise of shadows", but which is different from all the previous prompts.' or 'generate another, again different from all of them' for 26 samples.

𝔊𝔴𝔢𝔯𝔫 @gwern Jan 7 Here are 16 Midjourneyv6 samples for 'in praise of shadows'; since there's no way to really generate diversity and just that resulted in similar outputs, I changed up the wording using punctuation, swapping order, etc. Nevertheless, uncanny similarity: gwern.net/doc/ai/nn/diff …3924611.7%View post activity

𝔊𝔴𝔢𝔯𝔫 @gwern Jan 7 One downside of the better models is that they get a lot narrower in outputs, I think, even as they get a lot better quality-wise. For example, my prompt 'in praise of shadows'. DALL-E 2 feels a lot more diverse (however artifacted & low-res) than either DALL-E 3 or Midjourneyv6.560122.1%View post activity

𝔊𝔴𝔢𝔯𝔫 @gwern Jan 6 (That is, for a long time a pair of identical twins could fairly straightforwardly travel, AFAIK, on a single passport: travel one at a time, and mail it back. But if databases track whether you're 'in' or 'out' and all crossings are monitored, you can't go through twice.)3,8381343.5%View post activity

𝔊𝔴𝔢𝔯𝔫 @gwern Jan 6 If two identical twins wanted to live as a single person (like _The Prestige_), they could still get away with it easily today in the US, couldn't they?

𝔊𝔴𝔢𝔯𝔫 @gwern Jan 6 Sometimes after a pass through /newest, particularly pg2+, I'll see 4 of my upvoted links hit the front page.

𝔊𝔴𝔢𝔯𝔫 @gwern Jan 6 Underrated way to use HN, especially as a high-karma user: voting on stuff on /newest , including looking up 'failed' links using hn.algolia to upvote.

𝔊𝔴𝔢𝔯𝔫 @gwern Jan 1 Jan 2024: in the past year in the West, we've seen GPT-4/-V/Gemini, MJv6/DALL-E-3, GAN revival... I continue to hear Chinese DL will overtake any day now.
