@dang something about this website triggering content blocking filters. hate to say that i don't have time to investigate but it seems worth mentioning
they won't even show a chart in the article. 493 is up ... look at a 2025 5y chart. not that "basically flat" (actually 2023) chart google tries to feed you as a top result.
It’s better for them to not say anything about it when they don’t release the model. This is what Meta has done for the same technology and I respect that.
They don’t imply any ridiculous idea that such models should or even can be “racially balanced”. But if they want to cover their butts from the possibility of silly controversy, I think that’s cowardly and unnecessary, but at least they could not go out of their way to imply that such controversy should be taken seriously.
It not only isn’t technically feasible, it also isn’t rational, or even ethical to be portraying a warped version of the world.
What they want is for results of “software engineer” to be equally likely to show black females. This is not fair to Eskimos and Aboriginals. And what about the mentally handicapped? Is it not unfair that people with Downs Syndrome are not Wall Street stock brokers? How are you going to find all of these “affluent” categories and claim to be able to balance them?
And are you going to claim racism again when to ask for prison inmates and you don’t find any Asians? Should you start putting latent space Asians in latent space prisons?
Because this is a main harp of the social justice “ethicists” - that if you ask these models for “gang member” you get “People Of Color!!” … as if they simply don’t understand the statistics of situation. How would you even “solve” that? Should you decide when and where certain ethnic groups should be taken down a peg?
Latent space affirmative action is technically absurd, an completely ironic as “ethical” behavior.
I agree. Convincing fake content will eventually make us doubt our own history, let alone news media and current events. That concerns me, but I don’t think holding this tech back helps.
But those aren’t the issues they claim are concerning to them. It’s just stupid identity politics. They want their model to lie to us about the world and say things like everyone is equally likely to any attribute. They have a “reality” problem apparently.
The concern trolling and gatekeeping about social justice issues coming from the so-called "ethicists" in the AI peanut gallery has been utterly ridiculous. Google claims they don't want to release Imagen because it lacks what can only be called "latent space affirmative action".
Stability or someone like it will valiantly release this technology, again and there will be absolutely no harm to anyone.
Stop being so totally silly Google, OpenAI, et. al. - it's especially disingenuous because the real reason you don't want to release these things is that you can't be bothered to share and would rather keep/monetize the IP. Which is ok -- but at least be honest.
Is there a way in Ankify to export cards to any mobile apps?I always want to study Anki on mobile but in the mobile apps I know about, the experience of creating cards is too tedious.
It want to be able to create cards on desktop but usually study on mobile!
If you like building in Electron, you may like Ionic if you build a mobile app ;)
