    Since any reductions to copyright, if they occur at all, will take a while to happen, I hope someone comes up with an opt-in limited term copyright. At max, I'd be satisfied with a 45-50 year limited copyright on everything I make, and could see going shorter under plenty of circumstances.

    I wish I could get through to people who fear AI copyright infringement on this point.

  • New AI tool can help treat brain tumors more quickly and accurately, study finds
  • babelspace babelspace 1y ago 100%

    Interesting. I've seen plenty of mentions of the potential use of AI in medicinal imaging, but not in a context where time is of the essence. That's a particularly compelling use case.

    "Still needs to be greenlit by the FDA" - has anyone read a discussion of how the FDA is handing AI medical applications? Considering how overwrought the approval procedure can be for more mundane medical technologies, I have little hope that the process is going to be efficient and effective.

  • [Discussion] Different Types Of Voting
  • babelspace babelspace 1y ago 66%

    Yeah, for a ballot with multiple candidates, I would prefer this approach. Ranked Choice Voting is the name that I’ve most often heard it referred to by advocates who want to adopt it in the US.

    Seems like the only difference between this and what the OP is describing is whether every candidate has to be ranked, or just as many as you want to.

  • Could we consider allowing posts of lists of communities as well as questions?
  • babelspace babelspace 1y ago 100%

    Not a stupid question at all - the way you do it isn’t intuitive, and I hope gets made easier with further software developments. In the search bar near your username at the upper right enter, communityname@instancename, for ex. newcommunities@lemmy.world, and if it’s working right the version of the community that’s synced to kbin will show up. Catch is that right now it randomly seems to glitch, and fail or return nothing, so if doesn’t work at first you’ll just have to try again later. I’m sure the people running the site are aware of the issue and trying to get it sorted out, for now it’s one of the things to put up with a platform that basically started last month.

  • (Discussion) Vulgar / obscene language shall be strongly discouraged in the Agora community
  • babelspace babelspace 1y ago 100%

    I agree with much of what other commentators have been saying. Discouraged I’m on board with, I think having a strict rule is premature in a new community that’s small in scale - we can afford to wait and see how conversations play out and reevaluate later. Civility is the principle that’s important.

    I’ve been following the development of the next Stable Diffusion model, and I’ve seen this approach mentioned. Seems like this is a way in which AI training is analogous to human learning - we learn quite a lot from fiction, games, simulations and apply this to the real world. I’m sure the same pitfalls apply as well.

  • Can you taste differences in various kinds of water?
  • babelspace babelspace 1y ago 100%

    Yes. The content of various common minerals can vary by orders of magnitude across different sources. Though I pay attention to this less on its own and more in the context of brewing tea, since the water you use affects the outcome quite a lot.

  • Why artificial intelligence needs to understand consequences
  • babelspace babelspace 1y ago 100%

    That's definitely a better graph visually. (The image capability is cool, the graph I got on the earlier model was in text form). But I think it is wrong - "prepare (tinder, kindling, and fuel wood)" are all redundant to each other. Plus there's a direct link from "prepare tinder wood" to "maintain fire" - if this is a causal diagram indicating the sequence of actions a person needs to take, "prepare wood " should link to "light fire". I don't have a record of the exact prompts I was using, but I was working more with the fact that oxygen. fuel, and heat are all necessary but independent preconditions for a fire to start.

  • What is something simple that you do to decompress and keep yourself centered?
  • babelspace babelspace 1y ago 100%

    It's just one method to make tea. Some teas taste quite different from cup to cup (wuyi oolongs, for example), some are more consistent, in my experience. What I like is that it's easy to adjust depending on the outcome - one infusion is too weak or too strong? Brew the next one more or less.

  • www.nature.com

    This is the potential development in AI I'm most interested in. So naturally, I tested this when I first used ChatGPT. In classic ChatGPT fashion, when asked to make a directed acyclic graph representing cause and effect, it could interpret that well enough to make a simple graph...but got the cause and effect flow for something as simple as lighting a fire. Haven't tried it again with ChatGPT-4 though.

    Like most who’ve joined kbin or lemmy, I’m actively looking for more communities to subscribe to. We don’t have a way to do a centralized search for these across instances yet, so I’m sure there’s some I’ve overlooked. What smaller technology related groups have you discovered that could use more publicity? So far, I like the spirit of Actually Useful AI - [auai@programming.dev](https://programming.dev/c/auai/): “Not allowed - anything else the mods consider “crypto bro”/“AI bro” success porn sigma grindset blogspam” 😆. Aside from AI, I’d be interested in finding active communities that focus on web development.

    I [made](https://zavant.ai/creations/4112e8fe-59c4-457b-bef8-2a21e3183cf2) a large scale working QR Code scene that points to kbin.social. I used the new QR Code Control for SD 1.5 (released [here](https://huggingface.co/DionTimmer/controlnet_qrcode), and multiple rounds of upscale in img2img using it, controlnet tile, and the t2ia color control, starting from a QR code I made with [this QR code generator](https://quickqr.art/).

    Right now, the search capabilities we have for findings magazines aren’t great, and aren’t usually going to show communities on similar topics across instances. If people make lists of related communities and posted them here, I think it would help people find communities they are searching for.
