Starting out with the stable preset I had no idea how hard it would be to not make a object slingshot out. But it is a really fun sim, I think I will let my kid play with it.

My understanding is that they claim that for every unique prompt there is a unique final state of the LLM. Isn't that patently false due to the finite state of the LLM and the ability (in principle, at least) to input arbitrarily large number of unique prompts?
I think their "almost surely" is doing a lot of work.
A more consequential result would give the probability of LLM state collision as a function of the number of unique prompts.
As is, they are telling me that I "almost surely" will not hit the bullseye of a dart board. While likely true, it's not saying much.
But, maybe I misunderstand their conclusion.
Well that is not how I reed it, but:
Every final state has an unique prompt.
You could have several final states have the same unique prompt.
I know ultimately I am not good nor bad, I am not an absolute. I am an agentic blob of meat, and with every decision I can choose any of the paths at my disposal, rewriting my story as I go. There is something I live by, though. My whole life I have observed in others the ideals that I came to admire or to hate, and I try to adhere to the ones I admire as often as I can, as I am pretty sure I would hate myself otherwise.

I was kinda expecting analogue tech and computer vision here. :D
Nice work.

Genuine question, what are you worried about that this is affecting how often you leave your house?
What is making that the best cost-benefit analysis for you?
I would also want to know.
Did the game of being incognito grow into the logic that leaving your house is not viable anymore or something else?

But you can already do that.
This discussion isn't about what's polite.
It's about what you think ought to be against the law. And being fined or thrown in jail if you break the law.
I was really thinking of imposing a framework where people know someones preference even when looking at the videos later. I would be fine even if there is no fine, if someone found me on one of your photos and say - look a lanyard, what a jerk for putting that online, without any additional consequence. EU came into my mind because of the existing GDPR and as a platform where this could be propagated.
No I would generally not want anyone to go to jail even it the footage wracks my life somehow, but I would want a mechanism to broadcast my preference to the recording world.

And your want to make that the law, so you get fined or go to jail if you don't blur everyone's face on every photo you post if you haven't gotten a signed consent from them?
For me not necessarily, I would like a mechanism for distinction and a culture where you respect people you record.

It is solved. Videos and photos are allowed in public spaces. You just don’t like the solution.
Heh, you could be right on this one. But on the other hand, if I was the one filming and I knew a person in the frame wanted more privacy if possible I would be glad to omit them or cut them out.

> I guess EU could put forth such regulation - no biggie
Yes! Another EU regulation will solve this right quick.
Well, actually this could be just a means of letting people know your preference without direct communication. Maybe it could fall under existing GDPR regulation, as an extended part about a public "non consent" marker.
How would you solve the problem in large scale, low effort way?
