A nice place to discuss rumors, happenings, innovations, and challenges in the technology sphere. We also welcome discussions on the intersections of technology and society. If it’s technological news or discussion of technology, it probably belongs here.

Remember the overriding ethos on Beehaw: Be(e) Nice. Each user you encounter here is a person, and should be treated with kindness (even if they’re wrong, or use a Linux distro you don’t like). Personal attacks will not be tolerated.

I find these fascinating so I'm just doing a quick lil check on whether there'd be enough people interested in consuming/producing content for such a thing.

Yes, there are lots of communities already in the fediverse for that kind of content - mostly ChatGPT and also image-generation themed ones. Would this be general purpose? Or specific to art/image generation or automation or what?

I'm imagining all forms of generative AI

[–] GuyDudeman@beehaw.org 3 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Cool so like a catch-all AI discussion community. I think that would be great, since I'm assuming a lot of posts in /c/technology are probably about AI already, and this would siphon them off to their own thing?

i made one for specifically facebooks llama model and running test generation locally, https://kbin.social/m/localllama

Glad you made this. I hope it gains some traction, cause that's one of the communities I still check on Reddit.

[–] Otome-chan@kbin.social 1 points 1 year ago

Nice. Definitely joining :)

There seems to be an instance dedicated about it at aiparadise.moe . Perhaps you could help it grow further!

[–] dill@kbin.social 4 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago)

Oh yes! This sounds wonderful!

There was a tightly moderated subreddit called ControlProblem, and the main issue and interest I have in AI right now is the alignment problem. I haven't found anything in the Fediverse really touching on that part of AI yet by itself. Does it deserve its own separate discussion? I think so since getting it wrong or just ignoring it could be disastrous.

[–] Tetreo@sopuli.xyz 2 points 1 year ago

The alignment problem would be a relevant piece of discussion for sure

There's already:

https://kbin.social/m/ai
https://kbin.social/m/ArtificialIntelligence
https://kbin.social/m/machinelearning

I don't think the UI is doing the heavy lifting to make these links easy to use outside of kbin. To join from, for example, lemmy.world, I think you write: https://lemmy.world/c/ai@kbin.social

But unfortunately, federation is still a bit broken.

[–] Tetreo@sopuli.xyz 2 points 1 year ago (2 children)

Whelp I searched for communities here on lemmy before making this post and these kbin communities weren't indexed I guess

[–] roofuskit@kbin.social 2 points 1 year ago

It doesn't matter, you can still make your own community. We need to shed the old thinking on reddit that there should be a single community for a subject. We can all subscribe to all of these and the best one(s) will grow organically.

[–] Lenguador@kbin.social 1 points 1 year ago

Yeah, on closer inspection it looks like kbin is still having federation issues

[–] snake_w_human_traits@lemmy.ca 3 points 1 year ago

I like following the machine learning subreddit. If it’s more general like that I’d be more interested, but the generative AI stuff is interesting too

I'm currently using AI upscaling on some Xena episodes to try to make them a little less... obviously 90s quality, and I was just thinking about how I know so little about how AI works that it's basically magic, other than the fact that I know it's not, and I should really probably try to understand it better.
