For reference to my last tweet @SpaceX, here's the digital painting @elonmusk likes and a link to when I first shared it to Instagram: https://t.co/9aQWyWcODg

@Cathrinmachin AIs functionally resemble neural circuits, but its discontinuous, exists in a vacuum, & distills the process of observation by lacking: individual experience, human sensory systems, and real time feedback.

People experience reality; AIs are just systems interpreting probability.

@KrisKobach1787 Let me guess, you’ve been drinking the lead water your whole life, haven’t you?

[Peter DeLuce @DeLuceArt]

@VictorFota @RichardNadler1 The compositional layout is unmistakably yours. Diffusion Ai is like squinting at something, then trying to guess what the blurry image is supposed to be by using someone else's description of it. Not knowing how similar the output/sources are, is why I'm now cautious of using AI

[Peter DeLuce @DeLuceArt]

@TarianArt @CultureCrave They don't get a say because those are cases that obviously complicate a simple good/bad narrative, which forces people to acknowledge prematurely forming their opinions, or it forces them to justify why they are spreading reactionary agendas

This is the strongest evidence that I’ve seen so far that we will achieve AGI with just scaling compute. It’s genuinely starting to concern me.

I used to think that we would run into roadblocks:
end of scaling laws, maybe we don’t have the right model architecture, power density walls, end of Moore’s law, problems related to the high dimensionality of multimodal data, researchers are out of ideas because they’re already using mixture of experts, etc.

It increasingly looks like we will build an AGI with just scaling things up an order of magnitude or so, maybe two. It also seems clear that @sama and others at OpenAI have already come to the same conclusion, given their public statements, chip, and scale ambitions. It’s genuinely starting to concern me.

I’m concerned not because I am an AI doomer, no, I’m wholeheartedly on the side of computational & scientific freedom and think that the risks are far from existential. I’m concerned because, post AGI, 1) the world is about to change immensely, 2) I cannot see this wild new future clearly and find it especially difficult to predict exactly what will change with the advent of AGI; the change is simply unknown, and because of this, 3) I am concerned and even fear this change.

I imagine this is how it must have felt for somebody standing on the precipice of the Second Industrial Revolution.

@POSMarketer What makes you certain meaning can't be discerned from that noise?

Artists use many instruments to compose experiences of reality. The value/quality comes by balancing cultural expectations of novelty and familiarity

Creating art is not special. Having something worth saying is

[ᴊᴏᴀɴɪᴇ ʟᴇᴍᴇʀᴄɪᴇʀ @JoanieLemercier]

Making artworks in the emerging field of new media arts is incredibly exciting.

Yet, building an economic model around this practice is very challenging.

we ideally want autonomous cars killing ~30k/year in the US to start (25% reduction). people are too dumb to understand this & will explode in hysterics at every death, instead rolling them out when ~perfectly safe, condemning many tens of thousands to death in the meantime.

[Peter DeLuce @DeLuceArt]

@KARRltd @TheOmniLiberal This data is for "excess deaths", not Covid deaths. These figures show the increase in all types of deaths. These stats are the most useful means of forming an unbiased assessment of Covid's deadliness. There was a significant increase in heart attacks, strokes, & pneumonia

[Raphaël de Courville @sableRaph]

It’s been half a century. At this point, can we simply give up on institutional validation and just have fun with computers? Asking for all of my friends.

[Peter DeLuce @DeLuceArt]

@OpenAI This entire illustration is ai generated, including the text bubble. Another big leap in image generation. People aren’t paying nearly enough attention to how rapidly this technology is scaling

[Peter DeLuce @DeLuceArt]

@tprstly @AndreaKuszewski ...The 3D artist who spent hundreds of hours sculpting it digitally. I understand not everyone knows how artists work, but this is actually really cool. Watch this interview to be better informed about what was in the clip you shared https://t.co/O6xs30VMY4

[Peter DeLuce @DeLuceArt]

@Rahll Photography is "lower effort" than painting depending on what you're trying to convey. Doesn't mean that a photographer can't work harder than a painter. Let people explore the AI mediums before judging it so harshly. I personally find it to be as creatively rewarding as painting

[Sasha Luccioni, PhD 🦋🌎✨🤗 @SashaMTL]

I have so many questions

[Peter DeLuce @DeLuceArt]

@IndianTintin_ So disrespectful, but even worse, it's painfully unfunny. Have you really never seen an artist pose in front of their work before?

[Javi Lopez ⛩️ @javilopen]

One of these photos is generated by AI 🤖.

Which one is it?

🟠🔴 Medium / high difficulty.

[Peter DeLuce @DeLuceArt]

@Ronald_vanLoon @wef @YvesMulkers @PBalakrishnaRao @levie @meisshaily But how well does it hold up against GPT-4? These Ai text identifiers are just temporary solutions to an infinite problem. We may need to start adapting to text generation being an acceptable tool soon

[Peter DeLuce @DeLuceArt]

@MAiJiNTHEARTIST We have a fundamental disagreement about art, unfortunately. I've worked in almost every art medium imaginable, have a BFA, been in several galleries, and paint or draw daily. Image generation is a valid form of artistic creation.

[Peter DeLuce @DeLuceArt]

@PasanenJenni Brilliant work! Great artists aren't afraid to push the boundaries of our definitions. I hope your work inspires other artists to not run away from ai, but to challenge themselves with it

[Peter DeLuce @DeLuceArt]

@MAiJiNTHEARTIST What if only part of the images are ai generated? What if the composition was made by ai, but the brushwork is done by hand? What if you train your own model using your own artwork? This whole mess is going to get more confusing and subjective
