Many medical applications of ML do use transformer architectures, so it’s fundamentally the same technology.
- Comment on Cant Decide 🤖 2 weeks ago:
Usually when people share a post, it’s because the post evoked a reaction, and they want to share that with someone. Making the conversation about the provenance of the post truncates the exchange in an unsatisfying way. For a news story, propaganda, or the like, the source is important. For funny dog videos? Maybe the quality of the exchange is more important. A nice middle ground would be to react as if it were true, and then point out it’s probably AI. Videos are easier to spot, but the difference between an image that’s obviously AI and one that looks real is like 10 min of work in Photoshop. So we’re often better off saving our faculties of discernment for the stuff that matters.

As a practitioner of that dark art, I fear you know not what you summon. You don’t really want Lemmy to be popular, not in a way that traditional marketing is going to make it popular.

As I understand it, CLIP (and other text encoders in diffusion models) aren’t trained like LLMs, exactly. They’re trained on image/text pairing, which ya get from the metadata creators upload with their photos in Adobe Stock. That said, Adobe hasn’t published their entire architecture.

Here’s 60 Minutes’s piece from last month about the vending machine in Anthropic’s office.

That was all part of the idea, though, because Anthropic had designed this test as a stress test to begin with. Previous runs in their own office had indicated similar concerns.

The Firefly image generator is a diffusion model, and the Firefly video generator is a diffusion transformer. LLMs aren’t involved in either process. I believe there are some ChatGPT integrations with Reader and Acrobat, but that’s unrelated to Firefly.

Adobe’s image generator (Firefly) is trained only on images from Adobe Stock.

Coincidentally, this paper published yesterday indicates that LLMs are worse at coding the closer you get to the low level like assembly or binary. Or more precisely, ya stop seeing improvements pretty early on in scaling up the models. If I’m reading it right, which I’m probably not.

There are AI’s that are ethically trained. There are AI’s that run on local hardware. We’ll eventually need AI ratings to distinguish use types, I suppose.

Yup! Certifying a workflow as AI-free would be a monumental task now. First, you’d have to designate exactly what kinds of AI you mean, which is a harder task than I think people realize. Then, you’d have to identify every instance of that kind of AI in every tool you might use. And just looking at Adobe, there’s a lot. Then you, what, forbid your team from using them, sure, but how do you monitor that? Ya can’t uninstall generative fill from Photoshop. Anyway, that’s why anything with a complicated design process marked “AI-Free” is going to be the equivalent of greenwashing, at least for a while. But they should be able to prevent obvious slop from being in the final product just in regular testing.

The game is Codex Mortis (Steam).
“It’s pure TypeScript. I use PIXI.js for rendering, bitECS for the entity-component-system backend, and Electron to wrap it as a desktop app,” Crunchfest3 wrote. “The whole thing was vibe-coded with Claude Code (mostly Opus 4.1 and 4.5).” The art, meanwhile, was generated by ChatGPT, and the game’s animations “are a shader written by Claude Code.”

DeepMind keeps trying to build a model architecture that can continue to learn after training, first with the Titans paper and most recently with Nested Learning. It's promising research, but they have yet to scale their "HOPE" model to larger sizes. And with as much incentive as there is to hype this stuff, I'll believe it when I see it.

Everyone seems to be tracking on the causes of similarity in training sets (and that’s the main reason), so I’ll offer a couple of other factors. System prompts use similar sections for post-training alignment. Once something has proven useful, some version of it ends up in every model’s system prompt.
Another possibility is that there are features of the semantic space of language itself that act as attractors. They demonstrated and poorly named an ontological attractor state in the Claude model card that is commonly reported in other models.
