You would need thousands to tens of thousands of images, not just 50 to produce an adversarial network that could use the API as a check.

If someone wanted to buy it, I'm sure reality defender has protection especially because you can predict adversarial guesses.

It would be trivial for them to build "this user is sending progressively more realistic, rapid responses" if they haven't built that already.

I really think a "OpenAI Me" is what's needed.

Zilliz gave us a near 6-figure a month quote for our database.

10B, feel free to email me luke@ the domain in my profile.

That's because this product isn't for you then. My team has been evaluating vector databases for years and everything on the VectorChord page resonated with me. We run one of the world's largest vector databases and we'll likely benchmark vectorchord to see if it lives up to its promises here.

Any OF models would be met with HN users over-explaining their own economics to them and how it's a terrible business that'll never work. These models will also learn they don't even have a moat to differentiate themselves from other offerings and should keep their development jobs. :)

I think it's important to contemplate the human component of mergers. If lots of gainfully employed people get let go so that fewer people can consolidate expenses and raise shareholder value I think it should be considered as part of the decision making framework.

The taxonomy of AI is the following:

AI

-> machine learning

...-> supervised

........-> neural networks

...-> unsupervised

...-> reinforcement

-> massive if/then statements

-> ...

That is to say NN falls under AI but everything falls into AI.

This looks so much like the bin packing problem [0] if you generalized it you could do a lot with it.

We have very close relationships with Trust and Privacy officers at both our payment providers and AWS. They love what we’re doing and have facilitated introductions to other organizations.

Our claims aren’t in personality/publicity rights it’s on model release forms. Literally an unauthorized model that they are commercializing from a non-public setting.

Show me the privacy law that makes sites like motherless or 4chan archives take down images in the United States?

Why would I do anything else when I’m not abusing DMCA.

There is value in the Takedown service but our major value is the facial recognition search.

If you think that people won’t pay $25 to remove all the images and videos uploaded to porn across the internet with a few button clicks then you’ve clearly never had to worry about such things.

Someone would have to spend $500k to scan and process the internet before they could come close to offering the coverage we could for $25.

It’s incredible what kind of bubble HN lives in sometimes.

EDIT: also, we limit it to two free DMCA’s to prevent abuse and we have a tutorial on our site on how to do your own DMCA for free.

We’re not running an exploitative business, we’re helping people.

StopNCII is amazing but they don’t do the searching part unless you have an exact hash which most don’t have if it’s a hidden camera or a video.

We aren’t abusing it. These people featured in this non-consensual imagery haven’t signed model release forms so running ads on their content without reimbursing them is a commercial infringement.

We’re not arbitrarily sending DMCA’s to get things taken down. Our copyright holders haven’t approved of and are not benefiting from the financial gains of their stolen works.

It sounds cold to phrase it that way, but that’s how America protects its people, only as a function of money.

Why pursue the civil case? Our clients just want it gone. They aren’t looking to drag it out.

Given the homogenous demographic of HN, it’s safe to say we aren’t losing any business from here. There is nothing to drag down.

Totally agree with everything you said, I just want to remind people that half of the story of DMCA is that we have really poor controls over our privacy and ironically DMCA is one of our only tools.

It does have many, many broken aspects.

There are no privacy laws that protect people from these kinds of uploads. We only have DMCA. Your vitriol only proves a lack of education around these topics.

No we get 1000 signups a day for all revenge porn take down. We do help content creators but the vast majority of our customers are consumers taking down non-consensual intimate images.

Edit: HN isn’t our demo so I’m not trying to promote it here.

Not saying it makes DMCA perfect, just wanted everyone here to know there are some really awesome, clever uses of DMCA that people use for good and if we torch the DMCA we should make sure we don't leave those folks out in the cold.

There is a lot of DMCA hate in these comments.

I run a DMCA take down service where we remove revenge porn for people that are victimized by it. DMCA is the only tool we have to take these images down so as much as there are holes and gaps in that law, it's not all bad.

They are saying, "We are going to make our existing managers work harder, make the existing engineers deliver more because the $22 billion in profit we made in 2022 wasn't enough. We should consider how we can sacrifice more to make even more profit."

Your googling may have failed you. Revenue porn is deeply commercialized.

I think EV owners would need to find some level of compensation for the additional cycles they would incur. Electric vehicles are expensive because of the battery so deteriorating the life of one of the most costly parts of the car doesn't feel like a great solution.

If you are going to commercialize an image like put ads on your site or charge a paywall to see content all the models featured in the image must have signed model release forms. This isn’t us opining about how DMCA should work, this is just precedent.

Try to run a marketing campaign for any brand without getting model release forms for everyone depicted and you’ll see exact how legal responds.

You’re not crazy, all those risks exist. Right now, we are weighing the good of getting this content off the internet versus the theoretical bad our own system being misused.

We are very careful with all outbound emails. We built an email system inside of our app to offer a second level of protection from adult sites.

Literally, I’ve cited the Nation Association of Attorneys General. How it keeps getting reduced to bullshit is beyond my comprehension.

EDIT: I'll just make one more comment about our marketing materials then I'm going to leave it alone.

Most people don't realize how prevalent NCII is. Most people would be mortified to find out our database is home to millions of hidden cameras from short-term rentals, bathrooms, changing rooms and private environments of that ilk.

We want to encourage everyone to at least check to see if this is something they may be a victim of. We used solid referenced studies from reputable agencies to highlight how common this problem can actually be.

For everyone and anyone that wants to upload a picture, without giving us a credit card we'll check for free. That's part of our onboarding and that's what happens for the majority of signups. People upload a picture, we say "there is nothing we've found" and they bounce.

What we don't want people to think is, "This service is only for people that send intimate images, there is no way I'm impacted by this." Unfortunately, this problem is far more common than most realize. I feel like your stance only highlights that.

We want people to try, for free, to see if there is content out there we can help them remove.
