Lmao, so fucking true
It’s like tricking a kid into eating their vegetables
Except vegetables are good for you.
That’s just what Big Vegetable wants you to think
That sounds like something the Anti-Vegetable Coalition terrorists would say
The Anti-Vegetable Coalition actually kinda exists though.
What’s that?
You know, the trifecta of big food conglomerates (especially meat/dairy/egg-focused companies), livestock/feedstock farmers, and “conservative” politicians. None of them want you eating a healthy amount of vegetables. One might reasonably add pharmaceutical companies as well, because they profit off preventable diseases. So, I guess maybe it’s four horsemen rather than a trifecta.
Keeping in mind that the “training data” is also the “recognition database”
Tencent isn’t the overlord of image generation lmao. This is using people’s justified fears of China and surveillance to make a false comparison to image generation. All you’re doing is giving more power to companies and states that will abuse it while limiting its use in open source contexts.
How about we just not use people’s personal identities for image generation at all?
How about we just not let any drawings or paintings be made of others at all? I’m all for disallowing things like AI edited porn without consent but you can’t arbitrarily apply one set of rules to image generation by computer and another to one done by hand when their outputs are fundamentally the same.
One is theft and an infringement of privacy for nefarious ends and the other is a painting. There’s a world of difference between agreeing to let someone paint you and a corporation using your data to train AI. Spinning this basic reality into sinophobia is mind boggling. There are people in this thread shitting on Google for the same thing. Would you call it amerophobic to criticize Google for the same shit? Of course you wouldn’t
I never said it was sinophobic I said that they’re utilizing peoples preexisting dispositions to consolidate power in the AI space. Which is objectively true, the large companies are currently doing everything they can to demonize open source models.
