Ein Lieblingsfilm, der nie gedreht wurde. Eine sehr farbenfrohe Geschichte von Martin Zentner:

Einer meiner Lieblingsfilme, die leider nie gedreht wurden: Heroes des Espacio, ein geflopter Science Fiction irgendwo aus Lateinamerika in den 70ern. Rechts im Bild: Regisseur Carlos Ramírez, der …

Inspiration für neue Klamotten. KI sind nicht nur die Meister der Mustererkennung, sie können auch interessante Muster erzeugen.

Ein paar erste Versuche mit Stable Diffusion XL, unbearbeitet. Kaum noch Ausschuss. Hoffentlich lässt sich das bald lokal installieren, sodass man damit arbeiten kann. Parameter einstellen wäre auch gut. Und am wichtigsten: Image to Image!

Die Entwicklung ist soooo rasant. Kaum vorstellbar, was in einem Jahr alles möglich sein wird.

Sehr hohe Bildqualität und Auflösung. Nicht schlecht für eine Umsonst-Seite, die online läuft.
Leider gar keine Parameter zum Einstellen.

Remove background, cleanup pictures, upscaling, Stable diffusion and more…

Here an example in 2:1 (1260px x 640px upsampled to HD width 1920px)

Using different aspect ratios, for example here 21:9, is difficult in art generation, since all pictures are based on seeds that are square (here: 512x512 pixels). Larger Images tend to double their content, which can be seen in this video.
Some images and videos just need the width of a cinema screen. But then it's just a lot more trial and error. :)

a draft for the video „glitches“

01/01/2023

The glitches appear, because we trained a model on ai generated fotos. This recursive process seems to amplify any glitches inherent in generated art.

Learning from introspection amplifies your misconceptions. Go out there and act, if you want to learn.

A point of virw on the dangers of AI development

AI gets smarter, more capable, and more world-transforming every day. Here’s why that might not be a good thing.

We asked the OpenAI chat to describe itself:
„I am an artificial intelligence trained by OpenAI. My primary function is to assist users by providing information and answering questions to the best of my ability. I do not have personal experiences or the ability to interact with the world in the same way that humans do. Instead, I rely on the knowledge and instructions that have been programmed into me by my developers. I do not have the ability to form personal opinions or make decisions, and I do not have access to personal data or records. I am simply a collection of algorithms designed to process and generate text based on the prompts and questions that I receive.“

A conversational AI system that listens, learns, and challenges

Very good article on epistemology and ai:

Reductionism is the use of Models. Holism is the avoidance of Models. Models are scientific models, theories, hypotheses, formulas, equations, naïve models based on personal experiences, superstitions (!), and traditional computer programs

Next level of image editing:

We propose a method for editing images from human instructions: given an input image and a written instruction that tells the model what to do, our model follows these instructions to edit the image. To obtain training data for this problem, we combine the knowledge of two large pretrained models---...
