Back by popular demand, it's #botober drawing prompts!
This time, I'm doing a throwback to the very tiny language models of 2017-2018.
Datasets: artisanal, hand curated, very tiny
Power consumption: my macbook got a bit warm
Lies to you: no
Makes sense: also no

I remember when my SkyKnit project was a quirky exploration of how bizarre and broken generated knitting patterns are. The knitters were faster than me to realize the scammy future of generated patterns.

The fact that even a 5yo can call out this DALL-E3 generated image as nonsense doesn't mean that it's an unusually bad example. It's just what happens when the usual AI-generated information intersects with an area where most people are experts.

Hey kids, what sound does a wooly horse-sheep make?

Many uses of large language models are dubious. This one has no redeeming value whatsoever.

Asked Dalle-E to generate a set of labeled flightless birds. Not sure this is up to the standards of scientific illustration (or anything practical, really) but they're kind of delightful.

I called my senators to oppose the Kids Online Safety Act. I've heard it has some bipartisan support now, so even if you have democratic senators they need to hear from you.

@npub12d9…z92a oh noooo I’m glad it seems to be mild so far! Rest as much as you can, and for the Paxlovid taste I recommend:
- spicy ginger beer
- ginger tea
- cinnamon tea
- jelly belly beans
- cinnamon altoids

Training large language models on the outputs of previous large language models leads to degraded results. Less diversity, more bias, and …jackrabbits?

Nobody should be using GPT detectors for anything important.
From a recent study that found that GPT detectors were misclassifying writing by non-native English speakers as AI-generated 48-76% of the time (!!!), compared to 0%-12% for native speakers.

Thanks to DALL-E's image completion feature we have new never-before-released animal emoji to enjoy.
Featuring such species as "all comb chicken" and "mushroom deer" and "shopping owl-penguin" and also "cyclops penguin will fight you."
