The US once was proud of its scientific achievements, now parts of it replaced that with being very proud of their ignorance

Is it an accident though? This seems very deliberate

And the european consumer doesn't want harmful products to be beta tested on the public.

So we deploy a technology no one should trust to the general public, for what exact reason?

No serious company wants their key users to log into a platform with their personal accounts, this would be a security nightmare and asking for trouble

You just opened a huge nostalgia portal, never thought that Dreamweaver would still be around, I used that somewhere around 2003 I believe. Good memories

>I just fail to see how quantity factors into anything here.

Because you can overload any online discussion / sphere with that. There were so many that X effectively banned searching for her at all because if you did, you where overwhelmed by very extreme fake porn. Everybody can do it with very low entry barrier, it looks very believable, and it can be generated in high quantities.

We shouldn't have clamped down on photoshop, but realisticly two things would be nice in your theoretical case, usage restrictions and public information building. There was no clear cut point where photoshop was so mighty you couldn't trust any picture online. There were skills to be learned and people could identify the trickery, and it was on a very small scale and gradual. And the photo trickery was around for ages, even Stalin did it.

But creating photorealistic fakes in an automated fashion is completely new.

>I don't think this is any more libertarian than kings and aristocrats of days past were. So very libertarian.

>If anything it seems a lot more democratic since he wants it to be available to everyone No, he want's a solution that minimizes contact to other people and let you live in your bubble. This minimizes exposure to others from the same city and is a commercial system, not a publicly created one. Democratization would be a cheap public transport where you don't get mugged, proven to work in every european and most asian cities.

> I admit I don't know anything about this one The cybertruck. Again a vehicle to isolate you from everyday life being supposed bulletproof and all.

> lots of republicans including Trump do the same thing, and they're not libertarian They are all "little government, individual choice" - of course they feed their masters, but the kochs and co want exactly this.

Appreciate the exchange too, thanks for factbased formulation of opinions.

No, but AI requires zero learning curve and can be automated. I can't spit out 10 images of Tay per second in photoshop. If I want and the API delivers I can easily do that with AI. (Given, would one becoding this it requires a learning curve, but in principal with the right interface and they exist i can churn out hundreds of images without me actively putting work in)

He wanted to replace public transport with a system where you don't have to ride the public transport with the plebs, he want's to colonize mars with the best minds (equal most money for him), he built a tank for urban areas. He promotes free speech even if it incites hate, he likes ayn rand, he implies government programs calling for united solutions is either communism, orwell or basically hitler. He actively promotes the opinion of those that pay above others on X.

Put in any historical or political context SV is in no way left. They're hardcore libertarian. Just look at their poster boys, Elon Musk, Peter Thiel, and a plethora of others are very oriented towards totalitarianism from the right. Just because they blow their brains out on lsd and ketamine and go on 2 week spiritual retreats doesn't make them leftists. They're billionares that only care about wealth and power, living in segregated communities from the common folk of the area - nothing lefty about that.

You are using someone elses propietary technology, you have to deal with their limitations. If you don't like there are endless alternatives.

"Wrongly denied" in this case depends on your point of view, clearly DALL-E didn't want this combination of words created, but you have no right for creation of these prompts.

I'm the last one defending large monolithic corps, but if you go to one and want to be free to do whatever you want you are already starting from a very warped expectation.

See the recent Taylor Swift scandal. Safety from never ending amounts of deepfake porn and gore for example.
