if this ends up being correct this is /fantastic/ news
one of my biggest fears with the recent wave of AI stuff is that the upfront costs of computing the models and collecting data reverse the sort of diseconomies of scale that i see as a fatal flaw in capitalism (and economic domination more broadly) and make analysis like that of @KevinCarson1 outdated

I hope so. I've been having similar concerns.
@rechelon @KevinCarson1 stable diffusion coming out was a massive relief to me last year
@rechelon @KevinCarson1 @mutual_ayyde having tried both DALL-E 2 and Stable Diffusion extensively, it’s enormously clear the difference in quality that a bigger budget can make. That said, we’re not talking about anything remotely approaching AGI, and for almost all real world use-cases you’re going to want to fine tune with pretty tractable computational resources on a much smaller scale dataset
@elfprince13 @rechelon @mutual_ayyde I'm thoroughly disgusted with DALL-E because the best response I ever managed to get for "Jordan Peterson's grandma eating his face off in hell" was this:
@rechelon @mutual_ayyde @KevinCarson1 that’s the mini/open-source version, I think. The “real” OpenAI version would probably get mad at you for asking for a real person, but if it did let you ask you would get good results.
