<p>At this point, I won't hesitate a single bit of doubt that this company literally stole stable diffusion and built on top of it. Like how will we ever know? If they were so good they could have released before SDXL. But they waited.</p>

<p>Yes! That would be so cool. Also they are supporting Nvidia 2000 series GPUs which is completely bonkers!<p>This really put NVIDIA in clutch for the gaming.</p>

<p>NeRFs are cool technology that has its place and use. It is going to help with scene reconstruction and so on. And that is the reason why these CV researchers are flocking into using it. Despite knowing the limitations, they are giving their best to improve this technology. What I believe is NeRF is insufficient to be meaningful on its own. If you look into the architecture from this problem (the paper in the post), it clearly shows that they have some refinement phase going later on. A single RGB 2D to 3D model is such an ill-posed, we have to consider a lot of priors before diving into it.<p>There needs to be more foundational work in this field that can outperform or even improve the NeRF-based techniques. And the current herd mentality of researchers should be changed into exploring the alternatives. There is a reason why expensive automobile companies still rely on the physical modelling of their design. It's hard to simulate the physical conditions only through CAD modelling. Sure NeRFs are cool and they can make impressive results. That doesn't necessarily mean it is the means to an end. Look where rasterization brought us! NeRF is like rasterization. It is going to be used. But highly quality graphics was possible through GI and ray tracing! NeRF needs something equivalent that is physically grounded.</p>

<p>Now that is the same idea I also believe in. People are just capitalizing on it like it's a child's toy. This thing can have profound societal implications but no one writes about it. Is there a reason?<p>Also some of the people hyping it around are confident. How can they be so confident? Is it just blatantly lying into another's face and hoping you won't get caught?</p>

<p>Seriously, everyone and anyone talks about LLMs these days like they have been doing it for ages. Everyone is posting online, having opinions and sharing their "expertise". How did people become expert in 6 months?<p>I am really curious about this one. Any clue?<p>There aren't any significant achievements. The ideas are more or less the same from 2017/2018 only scaled up. People have only recently started noticing the behavior like in-context learning. But some write with confidence as if they are the guru? Where does this confidence come from?</p>

<p>Haha. That was a funny response from the GPT. I attacked your bot unintentionally!<p>On serious note, do you think as society progresses with use of AI, our brain will be geared toward filtering everything or we will lose the trust system that is prevalent in the society?<p>Think about it, the more people are being shut for bot, they more likely they will stop interacting online and this might eventually lead to a lot of people discarding the interaction. For most part, life is pretty average. And if average people are out, what might be the implications?</p>

<p>This was immediately my first thought when I saw the product. When is the expiry day? Why aren’t they making it clear?<p>Also I think this will inspire other companies and help those companies (cough microsoft, apple) create their own version which they will integrate to their own lineup.
It will be interesting seeing it in future.<p>Disclaimer: I am not AI and I typed this response in my tablet.
People for some reason have tendency to assume I answer like a bot.</p>

<p>Sorry doc, I wrote that comment in a smartphone without putting any thought. What I wanted to say was:
> there are 7B parameters. A parameter is a weight assigned to single neuron.<p>I hope this clarifies the answer now.<p>Now that is done I am quite curious on how you came up with the idea it was written by ChatGPT? I just wanted to simplify as best as I could. It’s funny you thought it that way.<p>What could I have done so that it didn’t sound like response from ChatGPT? I am asking it to prevent future misunderstandings. I thought my grammatical errors would be enough to show it wasn’t a ChatGPT response.<p>Looking forward to your reply!</p>

<p>1. The trained model has 7B parameters or weights for each neuron.<p>2. It can handle upto 8k tokens. Tokens are usually some representation for a word. If your tokens are characters then, "h", "e", "y" represent 3 tokens for hey. Most of the algos use byte pair encoding. For example "hand-le" has two tokens "hand" and "le". This is a very crud example which is enough to give the gist but is not accurate. You can look into byte pair encoding for more details.<p>3. The token size 1.5T token means they have huge variations for input and output. Simply put, it was trained on large data corpus.<p>I hope this simplifies it. You can research further if you are interested! Hope it helps!</p>

<p>> You've also seen a bunch of my content on Hacker News because I'm one of the only people writing about it - if very much like not to be!<p>With all due respect, I would also like to market someone else who has also been posting similar content, but for some reason those posts never make it to the top. If you don't believe me, you can check the following submissions:<p>[0]: <a href="https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=35745457" rel="nofollow">https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=35745457</a><p>[1]: <a href="https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=35915140" rel="nofollow">https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=35915140</a><p>They have been consistently putting the risks of LLMs. Thanks for spreading the information though. Cheers.</p>

<p>Hello HN, (especially the old crowd)<p>What were the sentiments of the people who researched computer technology in the early days of personal computing? Also, what were the sentiments of people involved during the early days of the internet?<p>If there are any public opinions on the sentiment of people who researched in these fields, can we get some?<p>Thank you<p>Please link to the authentic sources and general sentiments of the people who were involved in technological progress. I am asking this question because I don't feel that people who were part of the technology opposed the proliferation of it. Instead, every major revolution was supported until recently (esp. around 2015-2016).</p>
