Comment two stage design (Score 3, Insightful) 34

My understanding is that these are all done in multiple stages.

The big network doesnt have artificial bias or artificial limitations, but thats the second stage.

But thats the second stage. The first stage, the small network, or maybe just an expert system, is transforming your prompt into a network-ready vector, and this is where they impose limitations and biases.

You ask for "images of a family" and the first stage transforms your query into "[preamble of rules.] Generate images of a diverse family"

Its going to stay this way because the time and dollar cost of biasing and limiting the big network is prohibitive. Aint nobody got time to label the training set. Also, it allows offering differing levels of modification based on the customer. The general public version wont even be the most limited of them, and very special customers dont have limitations or biases injected.

Now, in the case of an expert system for stage 1, thats going to be easily tricked unless its very heavy handed on the limitations.

The super-flare wont kill you.

Its the fall of society immediately afterwards that will kill you.

A super-flare will break nearly all the satellites, while on its way to breaking nearly all the electrical systems, in a way that will set fire to many of the grid-connected buildings.

Society recovering wont be an option, as there will be an immediate bootstrap problem. Our food requires all these machines that no longer work and cannot be replaced at any reasonable scale, and all the fires will also produce a year long cold spell that could be described as a nuclear winter.

People will be eating each other for years.
