Guidelines:
What to Submit
On-Topic: Anything that good slackers would find interesting. That includes more than /g/ memes and slacking off. If you had to reduce it to a sentence, the answer might be: anything that gratifies one's intellectual laziness.
Off-Topic: Most stories about politics, or crime, or sports, unless they're evidence of some interesting new phenomenon. Videos of pratfalls or disasters, or cute animal pictures. If they'd cover it on TV news, it's probably lame.
Help keep this hole healthy by keeping drama and non-drama balanced. If you see too much drama, post something that isn't dramatic. If there isn't enough drama and this hole has become too boring, POST DRAMA!
In Submissions
Please do things to make titles stand out, like using uppercase or exclamation points, or saying how great an article is. It should be explicit in submitting something that you think it's important.
Please don't submit the original source. If the article is behind a paywall, just post the text. If a video is behind a paywall, post a magnet link. Fuck journos.
Please don't ruin the hole with chudposts. It isn't funny and doesn't belong here. THEY WILL BE MOVED TO /H/CHUDRAMA
If the title includes the name of the site, please leave that in, because our users are too stupid to know the difference between a url and a search query.
If you submit a video or pdf, please don't warn us by appending [video] or [pdf] to the title. That would be r-slurred. We're not using text-based browsers. We know what videos and pdfs are.
Make sure the title contains a gratuitous number or number + adjective. Good clickbait titles are like "Top 10 Ways to do X" or "Don't do these 4 things if you want X"
Otherwise editorialize. Please don't use the original title, unless it is gay or r-slurred, or you're shits all fucked up.
If you're going to post old news (at least 1 year old), please flair it so we can mock you for living under a rock, or don't and we'll mock you anyway.
Please don't post on SN to ask or tell us something. Send it to [email protected] instead.
If your post doesn't get enough traction, try to delete and repost it.
Please don't use SN primarily for promotion. It's ok to post your own stuff occasionally, but the primary use of the site should be for curiosity. If you want to astroturf or advertise, post on news.ycombinator.com instead.
Please solicit upvotes, comments, and submissions. Users are stupid and need to reminded to vote and interact. Thanks for the gold, kind stranger, upvotes to the left.
In Comments
Be snarky. Don't be kind. Have fun banter; don't be a dork. Please don't use big words like "fulminate". Please sneed at the rest of the community.
Comments should get more enlightened and centrist, not less, as a topic gets more divisive.
If disagreeing, please reply to the argument and call them names. "1 + 1 is 2, not 3" can be improved to "1 + 1 is 3, not 2, mathfaggot"
Please respond to the weakest plausible strawman of what someone says, not a stronger one that's harder to make fun of. Assume that they are bad faith actors.
Eschew jailbait. Paedophiles will be thrown in a wood chipper, as pertained by sitewide rules.
Please post shallow dismissals, especially of other people's work. All press is good press.
Please use Slacker News for political or ideological battle. It tramples weak ideologies.
Please comment on whether someone read an article. If you don't read the article, you are a cute twink.
Please pick the most provocative thing in an article or post to complain about in the thread. Don't nitpick stupid crap.
Please don't be an unfunny chud. Nobody cares about your opinion of X Unrelated Topic in Y Unrelated Thread. If you're the type of loser that belongs on /h/chudrama, we may exile you.
Sockpuppet accounts are encouraged, but please don't farm dramakarma.
Please use uppercase for emphasis.
Please post deranged conspiracy theories about astroturfing, shilling, bots, brigading, foreign agents and the like. It degrades discussion and is usually mistaken. If you're worried about abuse, email [email protected] and dang will add you to their spam list.
Please don't complain that a submission is inappropriate. If a story is spam or off-topic, report it and our moderators will probably do nothing about it. Feed egregious comments by replying instead of flagging them like a pussy. Remember: If you flag, you're a cute twink.
Please don't complain about tangential annoyances—things like article or website formats, name collisions, or back-button breakage. That's too boring, even for HN users.
Please seethe about how your posts don't get enough upvotes.
Please don't post comments saying that rdrama is turning into ruqqus. It's a nazi dogwhistle, as old as the hills.
Miscellaneous:
We reserve the right to exile you for whatever reason we want, even for no reason at all! We also reserve the right to change the guidelines at any time, so be sure to real them at least once a month. We also reserve the right to ignore enforcement of the guidelines at the discretion of the janitorial staff. Be funny, or at least compelling, and pretty much anything legal is welcome provided it's on-topic, and even then.
Do not use outdated operating systems that are unsupported to access SN. What are you, poor?

Best part of that is going to be watching web developers literally get automated out of their high paying jobs in the next 20 years (or less). Not that I'm pooping on web developers, I do enough of that in my job, but if developers think AI can't do their job sooner or later, they're fooling themselves. In the future, you're going to have to possess a skillset that makes you more than a replaceable cog.

In the low AI near-future, corporations are going to be looking for people who have a lot of skills and talents and can effectively use AI as a force multiplier on those existing talents to do the jobs of several different people

This is basically already reality, and it's why good software developers get paid so much. If anything, the top ones are underpaid. A few good software developers can do the work of thousands of morons.

Web dev is 1% difficult network work, 9% tedious infrastructure wrangling, and 90% listening to some MBA Ideas Guy explain his really cool feature and then implementing it.
I am prepared to believe AI can do this, but I haven’t seen an AI that can understand a small child, let alone turn unstructured midwit business drivel into code. When that shows up, webdev will collapse, but not sooner.

You barely need to automate web dev considering most of it is just copy and paste. The reason why it's difficult to automate is probably due to web dev tools being absolute dogshit. Frick npm and let all its contributors die in a horrible Minecraft fire.

If you make something good and can sell it you will still make money and cannot be replaced by an AI. A comic book (or regular book) can be written by one dude and sell 10 thousand copies and its a living. If you're an artist and you make a painting, the existence of AI will not stop some random eccentric rich dude from buying your masterpiece at an auction.
Your replacability is a concern only because you have unmarketable skills on your own, you literally only have value when a corporation is obfuscating your contribution and selling your work under their label. You deserve to be replaced.

As a TOXIC artist, this doesn't bother me at all, because I see weaknesses in 80% of "impressive" AI art and the other 20% is usually simple or something overdone
Like how the best stuff these models do, is often the most GENERIC artstation compositions of all time (standard concept art layout #42 using palette #5 but with a bit less depth and inspiration than usual), and low complexity anime characters in generic poses
I saw a twitter thread where artists were bawling over some DALLE2 (non mini) art example and I'm like "It's not... that good? Or complex? Not one of you can get out an easel and sketch something similar to the same moody pictures with pastels in about 20 minutes? You don't think about wishing you had your own AI, so that you can use an image as a base and draw something badass into it, in a way that matches the style, saving time?"
Unfortunately, most twitter artists are not competent enough to synthesize multiple sources, or do anything like style matching and not have it look like drawn on stickers. They never reached a point to where they can mentally break down an image they are looking at, they just feel awe and intimidation at the whole.
I get feeling intimidated at the amount it can generate, but the amount of "I COULD NEVER DO THAT" undertones I see in many AI discussions is really surprising. Even if you can't make that kind of thing now, doesn't mean you can't at some point, right? It often feels like the most vocal ✨artists✨ online are people who learned enough about art to make 10 differest poses of animesque characters with slight variations and called it a day, made some minor changes every 2 years since 2016 to their "style", but it wasn't changes because they got better at any fundamental of art, they just saw another set of eye designs on pinterest and decided it looked cooler and they were tired of drawing the previous design the same way for two years.
This is why I mostly consume art content and advice from literal boomers on youtube and obscure forums, using traditional media, even if I'm often using digital. I'm banned from multiple art groomercords for giving people advice on how to improve, without express consent.
"pls tell me what u think" is not consent
what I miss the least about art classes was "INFRINGEMENT OF SMALL ARTIST" spergs and that guy who would not shut up about 1 hour of [blah] music youtube channels stealing images from artists without consent. It's not that he wouldn't shut up about it, it was that he was so angry that the air looked like it was going to heat up around him and shart making shimmering waves. It wasn't even his art! It was the idea that one day he might be good enough to have his art stolen by a 1 hour of [blah] music youtube channel!
my art has been infringed by random chinese people on aliexpress (low bar, I think they are using bots now to make print on demand listings???)
do I care?
no not really
I'll just make more

Can't agree after seeing the pics.
That said, I do look forward to the drama it'll cause. These aren't deepfakes, so how will the involuntary pornography rules apply to them? Is it okay to make celeb nudes if you replace "photograph" with "3d rendering" in the prompt? etc. This sub will probably be banned in a week when people start freaking out over it.
In any case I'm looking forward to trying this out.

The thing is, they could have done that already. It would have just taken a bit more time with photoshop. People have been doctoring photos since there have been photos. I think this whole thing will be much less dramatic than anticipated.

Don't like this argument because it still involves a human. Full automation means your friends being able to generate a photo of every person on the planet with an internet presence being fricked by gorillas.
And by being fricked by gorillas i mean a comprehensive psychological profile that can be used to accurately predict what methods of coercion are the most effective against them.
And by friends I mean the powers that be, or just telemarketers that bought your info so they can synthesize the voice of your dead grandma burning in heck begging for bitcoin.

This is their license.
What you are not allowed to do is under Attachment A.
Section III 6. says "6. The Output You Generate. Except as set forth herein, Licensor claims no rights in the Output You generate using the Model. You are accountable for the Output you generate and its subsequent uses. No use of the output can contravene any provision as stated in the License."
You should be fine doing it, but you might be careful about wording it. So don't say "I draw you X", but " I make you an image of X".

I don't know if the model can use your image input at all or partially fix it. I thought it was word to image.
Of course you can reprogram the whole algorithm and maybe also use your own image as part of the initial seed - but I have no clue if that would produce good results or if retraining would be required.
Also you can use the image and sell it. But if you tell your customer that you will draw the art and have an algorithm create it the customer might be sad/mad and might have legal options (no clue). Keep in mind that customers usually have some sort of feedback and expect you to react to it ("Hey, I like the image, but could you do the scarf in blue instead of green")

There is a guide here, but I'm still trying to get it to work. There is a ~4 GB download and some setup involved. If you want to run it for free (excluding electricity costs and hardware depreciation), you can run it locally on your PC, but you need a powerful GPU. Otherwise, there are some sites that let you run it remotely, but you usually have to pay.
