Phenomenally interesting paper about how AI researchers talk about what they value in their research. Very glad the authors took the time to do this laborious but important work. I'm going to keep this in my desk so the next time I go on a rant about how ML is prescriptive [1/?]
rather than descriptive I can wack people who disagree with this paper 😛
I would actually go further than the authors of this paper do (I don't know if they disagree with what I'm about to say, but they didn't say it): I would say that corporate AI research [2/?]
is a propaganda tool that is actively and deliberately wielded to influence policy, regulation, and ethics conversations about technology. The very way mainstream AI research - even "AI Ethics" research - is framed obliviates consequences for the companies. [3/?]
Great write up about the crazy cool art #EleutherAI members have been learning to coax out of GANs with CLIP! Credit assignment with stuff like this is hard, but @jbusted1@RiversHaveWings@BoneAmputee and @kialuy are some of the people who have made this happen.
@jbusted1@RiversHaveWings@BoneAmputee@kialuy They’ve been doing some visionary work with human-guided AI-generated art for the past two months, and it’s phenomenal that they’re starting to get the recognition they deserve. Several more people who either lack twitters or whose handles I don’t know deserve applause too
