Text-to-video AI generated pizza commercial. This is making film without a camera or actors. No studio, no director, nothing. And chatGPT created the script.
This tech is moving really fast, we are about to see the world change before our eyes. I know we are always skeptical of all these social media clips we see, but in the sense we think its scripted. If this stuff keeps developing at the same pace we will not be able to tell if anything we see on the internet is real, in the literal sense, by the end of the year. This stuff is getting spooky.
What they're doing now is brain scan-to-image generation. They are training AI on data sets of brain MRIs that correspond to images. The first image is what a person looked at, the second image is what AI generated just looking at that persons brain MRI while they looked at the original picture. They AI had no other prompt than the persons brain scan, it didnt see the picture or get any text.
They can also show a person a video, and have AI generate text describing what happened in the video just looking at the MRI while the person watches the video. We're gonna be able to read minds. We're gonna be able to record dreams. The capability at least doesn't seem far off. This stuff is really crazy and a rabbit hole worth going down.

the text to video is definitely impressive and its potential for creating misinformation high, deepfakes have been around for a minute already tho; obviously stuff like this takes things to a “whole ‘nother level” but, and this may assume a level of sophistication in the human audience that may not exist across the all of the populace, if as a consequence of the distrust of online media we develop better judgement/ways to verify information maybe fostering the belief/understanding that online media are not to be taken at face value could be a good thing?
the mri scan accuracy is wild if it is truly accurate for brains in general, can’t really tell if the accuracy was across the brains involved or in particular for a specific brain? in any case given the method involved worrying about the being able to read minds en masse is likely a long ways off but the potential it has for communication with the impaired (on sn individual level) or understanding animals could be super useful
definitely interesting times ahead

I can think of some rather nefarious uses of this technology.
The silver lining is that it may make torture obsolete...

I'd be less concerned about what the (social) media does with this than what govts and corporations (both foreign and domestic) are gonna do, especially considering theres zero regulation. I think a healthy skepticism would be great but at what point do you become skeptical to the point of not being able to believe or trust a single thing you see. I think it can become so pervasive that skepticism becomes the problem.
What we, the general public, know about the brain scanning capability is probably far behind what govts and corporations know and are able to do. There a several wearable technologies coming to market this year that will track brain activity. Its closer than you think.
Like I said, the research the general public has available to them is limited but heres another pic detailing 4 different brains viewing an image and what AI was able to deduce by looking at brain scans.

If I had to guess, the bottom line result of these AI systems is going to be;
it will reduce the cost of generating, mediocre art and writing to 0.
the type of stuff normies thing is good, but a professional would think is mediocre/corny
What will that mean for human;
- Low quality scam websites and products will be much more convincing.
- high quality pornography will be easy to generate.
- scams and propaganda will seem much more convincing
- less entry level jobs in media.
- less overall creativity.
ultimately human creative will become a veblen good, a luxury good that will increase in price and demand.
Why?
1. Ultimately creativity doesn't follow a linear trend of improvement, trends and styles are cyclical
and thus require some human agent making decisions.
2. asking an arcane alien intelligence, whose thought process you don't understand to create something is an extrmely frustrating process,
and if you are a non creative who doesn't know how to judge the outcome, its still esier to hire a human if you have any budget at all.
3. You need someone blame if something goes wrong.
Management are unqualified and don't want the responsibility of judging the output of AI systems.
ultimately employing humans will be a status marker for high end companies.

i guess my thinking is that skepticism should be the default position, as adaptable as the human animal is considering we haven’t really evolved past being in groups where we more intimately knew the character(s) of the people we were around and thus could trust their info having extreme doubt about content, images, & news items that don’t come from trusted sources (granted those sources are not automatically immune from being deceptive or themselves being deceived) and thus have to come up with alternatives to deciding what they will take seriously
haven’t watched the davos vid yet but definitely in the queue…
definitely in the short term, these systems will be tools that enable humans to Xx their current capabilities, and these tools at the moment aren’t really ‘aware’ of what they are actually ‘doing’ it’s really just really high level word association(s)
the existential question is what do we want society to look like, because ostensibly these general intelligence models could get to a point where it is able to replace much of human knowledge work or at the very least render most knowledge workers redundant reduce the earning potential of most workers and maybe greater exacerbate the already steepening divide between have & have nots, what do we need/want humans to do?
i’d like to think we’re smarter than that but there are always unintended consequences, so let’s hope there multiple level of failsafes when these thing go fully live

My point about skepticism is how do you have a functioning, progressive society when everyone has to be skeptical about everything with no way to independently verify anything? Thats kind of already the case, or should be, but this technology adds another layer and facilitates bad actors obscuring truth and reality even further. We saw in the last couple election cycles the narrative of fake news having a real effect on peoples perspectives. Campaign experts mining FB data to figure out how to effectively pander to and manipulate various demographics. Adding AI technology to their toolbox has some scary implications.
If you aren't terrified of the possibilities this rapidly developing technology yet, watch this presentation. A key takeaway for me was the fact that 50% of the engineers developing AI technology believe there is a 10% or greater chance it results in human extinction. If they think theres that high of a chance of complete annihilation, the chance it completely and irreversibly destroys society as we know is presumably higher.

this & the davos vid are both painting all these fairly dystopian possibilities that ai can facilitate and the implications are indeed scary, but the thing that they point out to be the concern is how these ai are actually directed & by whom; the concerns are legitimate but other than skepticism what else can people do? this thing is already out of the box…

Automaye everything. Pay us a stipend. Let’s get back to leisure and debauchery and hiking as a way of life. Our only job should be growing food. lets make that manual so we have something left to do.

lol you mfs have no idea.
I use AI tools for my writing work, it gives me the powers of a graphic designer and storyboard generator.
sure the human hand is inherently valuable, and will have a place in productivity for a long time...but compare the salaries of a construction worker and, say, someone in HR at a company like IBM.
I keep CAREFUL track of this stuff...****'s about to look real different soon.
consider the term "costless labor" and how many types of arrangements that could apply to...now understand that achieving something close to that near-term is a goal for a lot of big-time orgs and a concern for their competitors.
I mean, if your company is spending 3x what your rival is on labor (a company's "biggest expense") and turning out similar quality product, that's a disadvantage, yeah?
that Google conference alone should have made folks sit up...like, skip the foldable phones and bull**** and look at those office productivity tools.

Yea this thread is a really poor representation of how fast this tech is moving . Kinda disappointing because NT used to be at the forefront of this kinda thing. Compare the bitcoin thread which was ahead of the curve and this one which is completely out of touch. I made a thread about Gpt-3 like 2-3 years ago . This hasn't even really caught up to neuralink and assorted tech like that yet

Most of this tech has been used by the military for a while. Not just in the US. Slowly trickling down to every day people use.
Next 10 years in AI growth is gonna be crazy.

I work in advertising and over the past couple of months we started utilizing AI generated images created in Midjourney strictly for comps. One of our designers has been working with it since the beginning and it’s been invaluable being able to lean on his experience. It’s definitely a learning curve to figure out the prompts but it’s pretty amazing what you can create. I’ve messed around with Shutterstock AI, Stable Diffusion, & Adobe Firefly and Midjourney is my favorite. I’ve recommended to all my design friends to mess around with the tools as much as you can and understand them cause being able to write prompts to produce quality imagery will be another feather to put in your cap

ultimately, the question that has to asked: what will companies need their workforce to actually do when ai tools could ostensibly be satisfactory enough to replace every standard worker in the knowledge economy from fickle creatives to executive bottom line automatons? who benefits from this increase in productivity and how will the increase in profit be divvied up?? of course, the decision making executive class isn’t likely to think to replace itself, but how long before even shareholders wise up
it wasn’t too long ago that concerns about automation of factories, general low skilled work, & service jobs were top of mind…

oh no doubt, real creatives will only be augmented by these technologies...like, one guy can now, with enough time and the right tools, take an original story and have it formatted into a screenplay (tedious af), voiced over (expensive), and animated frame by frame (lol imagine!) all using AI and shine it up real nice to make a Pixar-quality presentation.
there will be fewer seats at the table, but for better and worse the chairs are gonna get a lot bigger.
...meanwhile, think of all the people that did not get hired for that Netflix mini-series we just developed a paragraph ago, voice actors, animators, sound designers, catering crew, payroll...at best there's one of each where there used to be whole teams in those credits you skipped.
Interesting Times.

yeah it was all jokes when it was just burgers getting flipped, now folks' white collar cushions are on the chopping block and NOW you get the frantic headlines.
kinda demonstrates how wild it is that anybody even has to be worried about automation coming to take bull**** jobs out of our lives...speaks to larger fundamental issues with our distribution of societal resources but that's another post.
anyways, I started writing about all of that too (including how my own job got hollowed out)...makes as much sense as anything else I guess.
