  • AI video just took a startling leap in realism. Are we doomed?

    Jump

  • I'm not convinced that the group of people who are already skeptical of the veracity of the non-AI content they see on social media are going to suddenly start believing that short form videos are reflecting reality simply because an AI made it instead of a human. The current problem with misinformation isn't that it's "too poorly animated".

    EDIT: I should say if and when CNN starts generating realistic AI videos claiming they are reality, then we have a problem. But anyone skeptical of randomdude69's Tweets is not going to start believing them "because AI".

  • I don't really get the concern. Anyone who cares about understanding reality isn't looking to social media for it, and the people who don't care about reality don't need AI to believe whatever nonsense is convenient for them.

    Are we doomed? Yes, but AI isn't changing that.

  • Outside of computing costs, there is no limit to the length of video generated, but keeping the output coherent and contextual for more than a few seconds is a completely different puzzle to solve.

    Same reason ChatGPT 3.0 could make realistic Reddit comments half a decade ago but the latest models still can't generate more than a paragraph or two before losing the thread.

  • No opinion is so important that it needs to post it to Reddit imo

  • Kevin Rose and Alexis Ohanian own Digg now. Alexis Ohanian never worked at Digg and Kevin Rose was replaced as CEO by the board in 2010 for non-involvement. It's still going to be a non-federated for profit platform. But there's no reason to think they would ruin Pocket or even change it dramatically.

  • What phone should I buy for privacy?

  • Any inconveniences you've noticed with Graphene? For example I've heard tap to pay functionality doesn't work.

  • There's no need for hostility, your characterization of what is happening does not reflect reality.

  • I'm very bad at convincing people to care about their privacy

  • Well said, I was thinking maybe the entire reason OPs charisma is -1 is because they're out there trying to convince people to do something instead of just doing their own thing.

  • Google's new AI video tool floods internet with real-looking clips

    Jump

  • I agree, I really don't think the concerns about "not being able to tell what's real" will be a major issue (at least to those who care about knowing what's real). Social media has been full of human-made slop for years and if someone is getting their sense of reality from social media posts, then that is the problem and AI isn't going to dramatically change that.

  • Instapaper is nice and probably where I'll end up. Others have suggested Wallabag to me which has a less than 1€/month plan.

  • Is there a better free read later app?

  • Do server admins also see reports from communities?

    Jump

  • Reports go to:

    • Moderators of the community
    • Admins of the community's instance
    • Admins of the reported user's instance
    • Admins of the reporting user's instance

  • Google's new AI video tool floods internet with real-looking clips

    Jump

  • I have a feeling if any of these video generators tried to make a "clip" longer than a couple of seconds they would rapidly become a lot less "real looking"

  • How can I contribute processing power to the community?
