  • Diffusion models iteratively convert noise across a space into forms and that’s what they are trained to do. In contrast to, say, a GPT that basically performs a recursive token prediction in sequence. They’re just totally different models, both in structure and mode of operation. Diffusion models are actually pretty incredible imo and I think we’re just beginning to scratch the surface of their power. A very fundamental part of most modes of cognition is converting the noise of unstructured multimodal signal data into something with form and intention, so being able to do this with a model, even if only in very very narrow domains right now, is a pretty massive leap forward.





  • What? No, this is just basic common sense law being applied as one would expect. They literally pirated shitloads of books via torrent. That’s open and shut infringement and always has been. This doesn’t apply to scraped text data you’re licensed to access, or purchased books they digitized or purchased in digital form. It just finds that, no, you cannot torrent without license volumes and volumes of copyright protected material, even if your eventual user of it may be otherwise treated as fair use (or, imo, not at all infringing).

    We have seen authoritarian communism that regressed into autocratic nationalist imperialist communism. We have also seen authoritarian communism that has shifted into state capitalism. Just like there are many variations of capitalism that we have and have not seen, there are likewise many of socialism and even communism that we have and have not seen.
