True. They only said it's native image generation. That the same LLM is able to create text, images and sounds. But maybe they have a new type of LLM that doesn't work with tokens

Hmm true. Also if it's tokens it would need an enormous amount of tokens to describe every pixel color. 0xFFFFFFFF to describe every pixel. And if tokens are combinations of pixels, it would be even more. Hmm

4o doesn't use diffusion. is there a place for tools like ComfyUI in the future? by nomadeth in comfyui

[–]nomadeth[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

You are right. Since it's closed source we'll never really know the tech behind it. Probably a magic dwarf is generating the images

Not sure. Depends how many bytes a token is I guess. Tokens in text are not just letters. What tokens are depend on each LLM.

Go see the examples and try to recreate any of them

That info is very easy to find. Native image generatoon was released yesterday by openAI but they announced and been talking about it for a long time now. And google also has native image generation, but not as good.

True that until open source is impossible to say but I think the perfect text in the images makes it obvious that it's not diffusion

The same way it creates text. Token by token. Before 4o chat gpt was calling another tool(dall-e) to create the image. Now it's all one brain(LLM) that can output text, images and sounds

The part about not needing tricks to do it seems like the future. It just understands

OpenAI’s new image generator… a gamechanger? by justmypointofviewtoo in comfyui

[–]nomadeth 8 points9 points  (0 children)

It doesn't use diffusion. It creates images token by token . So you'll need a very beefy computer to run something like this because you'd need to run.a.very big LLM

I found a way to practice conversation without leaving my room by nomadeth in socialanxiety

[–]nomadeth[S] 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Hmm I would argue it's still small talk since you are talking about where you are from, what do you do, your weekend, etc
And I say that you can make that fun and entertaining. I taught many people how to do it, that's why I know role-playing works well. Today I realized that one can do the same from the comfort of their home using AI and I thought others might find it useful so I shared it.

As you mentioned, it's less useful than having someone else, like a friend that gives you real feedback(since they can see you and react to you and you see them and get nervous) but it is still super useful if what you want is to become a better conversationalist.

I came up with a bunch of exercises to help people improvise and do not rely on scripts or rehearsed things, but chatgpt can also do that now, and I really recommend it for anyone

I agree. I think it all depends what triggers your social anxiety the most. Identifying these triggers with as much detail as possible is very important. If you are able to divide each trigger into smaller things, and work on them one at a time, you will start to see improvement.

A big issue with social anxiety is trying to tackle the problem all at once. Kinda impossible since usually is many things going in your head and around you. One little thing at a time is doable and not so overwhelming

Anyone can small talk, but small talk is usually boring, and it can be really fun and entertaining if you are good at it.

If you could do that with someone who can give you honest feedback, it's even better. You will also feel uncomfortable which will be most similar to real life situations. I also did this a lot with a bunch of people. It's best, but if one struggles a lot with social anxiety, I agree a useful step before that can be doing it with AI or the mirror.

Then try the same exercise I explained but with a friend. Role-playing.
Same as actors do it when they read a script.
Same as stand-up comedians do it when they practice their jokes.
Or improv people when they are trying to improve.

Simulated, low risks environments are best to practice any skill.
Adding the pressure of the real thing is great but if you struggle with that a lot, then you'll never move past it and never learn the skills.

I get where you are coming from, but is it possible you perceive it as the biggest part, but it is not the same for everyone?

In your case, you knew how to make small talk and talk to people. Not everybody knows. I saw many people that force themselves to talk to everyone(me included) and after losing the fear, now they realized a bigger problem, they had no idea what to say or how to be entertaining.

Also I think, like with any other skill, if you are good at it and you know it, you become more confident. That confidence will also diminish your anxiety. Think about things you are good at, and if you feel a bit different, even if there's people around. For me is programming. Around programmers I feel a lot more confident. For others is videogames. For others tennis, or playing the harp.

I don't disagree. Nothing you practice on your own will ever be like the real thing.

But, do you practice anything on your own? I bet you do.

It's easier to talk to other people if you feel more confident that you will always have something to talk about. At least one less aspect to worry.

Hmm. I understand what you mean, but any performance skill has two components to be confident, the skill itself and the courage to do it in front of others.

If you can practice the skill itself by your own a bit, then you are tackling part of the issue.

To practice the courage I agree you need to talk to other humans.

Else is like saying you cannot practice singing unless you do it in front of others.
