Seems inevitable enough that we may have to accept it and try to work within the context of (what we'd tend to think of today as) mass-spying. I mean, even if we pass laws to offer more protections, as computation gets…

Yeah, the idea to use random-selection instead of keeping track of generation-history seems reasonable. The idea of guardrails from perfect-balancing seems less obvious to me. For example, say someone wants to generate…

The comment I'd responded to seemed to have thought that StableDiffusion picked what the sex of a person would be according to some internal odds that could be modified. My point was that it doesn't actually think like…

What was the overall point of the talk? I get the sense that the talk was meant as a rebuttal to something, but I'm not exactly sure what. Some of the points come off as disconnected.

Tangential, but I'm surprised to see a paper published in a Nature-affiliated journal that misuses the notation "dT" like that. It's like they've combined 3 different conceptual-errors into one, where there're several…
