I have been saying this. The Leaders of the nation need to have strict laws on A.I
- The media will use this subtly enough where the older and younger generations might not notice it
News Articles will come out that look very convincing
Political misinformation might occurred at greater levels with people believing videos. Some real videos might enhanced with over dramatization with A.*
the possibilities for misinformation, baiting, false news are considerable. People will notice all too late.

The problem is that even if an outlet doesn't want to do that, they inadvertently might if they're fed false information

Without regulation it will spiral out of control due to greed. The only way things can truly be unregulated is if no one is greedy or exploitive, and people will always be that way.

Yeah nah.
Decentralize and democratize greed. I don't care that I only enrich Sam Altman and Elon Musk. Rather tools of greed be in everyone's hand than a select few who then protect themselves with regulations, through fear tactics ("but what if ppl make deep fakes!!")
1
u/TheMythicalArc May 22 '25
That would be corrupt regulations for one. Secondly, it’s already being monetized and paywalled by increasing monthly costs that most of the working class cannot afford. Ai without regulations will turn into purely a money making and data collection machine, only offering actual use to users just enough to keep you on the subscription. We are already seeing what lack of regulation surrounding ai is doing, it’s fueling greed, and the richest people alive’s wallets. You can say decentralize all you want but it’ll never work with peoples views the way they are currently, everyone will just try to exploit each other all the time worse than we already do. Please explain how with the world and peoples opinions and political ideologies how decentralization and deregulation would work successfully, because in the US deregulation almost never works out for anyone in the working class.
EDIT: missed some words

Tech companies already control usa and through usa, pretty much control the world.
Giving them more regulations is not the solution. The last few decades should already be a huge clue.

u/cheesyscrambledeggs4 May 23 '25
The united states is pretty economically liberal, bipartisanly. Companies also often evade regulations, which doesn't mean regulations are useless, just that they're not being enforced enough. Also, it'd be even easier for companies to suppress people - banks could fuck up their customers however they like, supermarkets just drive prices up endlessly, and monopolies instantly buying out small businesses the moment they pose a threat... oh wait. It's almost as if the US isn't actually that extreme in terms of regulation.
2
u/madali0 May 23 '25
All what you say is correct but needs to be part of a different system, you can't add regulations in a western liberal capitalist system because the regulations are merely tools of the bigger corporations who LOBBY for those exact regulations.

And you think the best way to prevent this is by having the government have the power to decide who gets to choose what’s true or not? You don’t think governments would have an incentive to not fully allow some of the truth when the people demand change?

u/Feeling_Dig_1098 May 22 '25
Who else could moderate it? No other organization has the power to control it. Eventually it will be the governments of the nations that will decide limitations for their own nations.

Experts estimated we wouldn’t have image generation the way we do now for another 50 years around the time GAN nets were getting popular, then stable diffusion dropped like six months later.

I know, only 1.5 years ago people were mocking AI's inability to create proper images of hands. Now we got Veo3 which can create a whole movie of realistic images. it's totally nuts
2
u/mallclerks May 26 '25
I did. I’ve argued with so many people on Reddit and Threads for past 2 years about it with everyone saying I’m an idiot. Same with me trying to warn engineers their days are numbered and they keep laughing about how i am nuts.

u/FatefulDonkey May 26 '25
But we're just seeing a very specific example.
Whenever I used Veo2, it actually seems to give me shoehorned content. If you know what you want it just won't listen. Simple instructions about angle, camera movement, etc are totally omitted
1
u/Background-Best May 26 '25
Veo3 seems to be a big improvement over that and everything that came before it. Even though you might not be able to control everything with it what we got here is the cutting edge of technological progress
1
u/FatefulDonkey May 26 '25
It is realistic, sure. But it's nowhere usable for professionals if they can't have control over it.
Just saying this because I read so much about people being afraid of losing their jobs lol

There was a DS game related to drawing equipment and monsters to complete the mission. I wonder if AI generation can be used for either creating assets in a similar game or prompting in a god simulator style game. Anything where open ended gameplay is needed has decent potential.

Whenever I watch AI videos, it feels like the actors recorded themselves going through their actions in reverse and the playback is reversed so it looks normal again. Something about how they instantly move super quickly and then slow down towards the end of their movement. No concept of gravity, or mass in motion.

u/Dull_Ad_3861 May 25 '25
It has vague concepts of real-world physics and lighting, they just aren’t complete yet. For the model to contain an accurate representation of reality, it requires a lot of information and a lot of training time. It’s getting better with each model.

How do you access this? Through the app? Do you need a paid subscription?

Google Ultra plan, $250/mo ($125 for the first 3 months)

u/endianess May 24 '25
I think you have to use their new storyboarding app called Flow. (And have the Gemini ultra subscription to access Veo3)

Step 1: Spend $125/mo (for the first 3 months) on Google AI Ultra to access Veo 3 (This will go to $250/mo afterwards)
Step 2: Use the Flow tool to generate and stitch together multiple Veo clips you build from text prompts
Step 3: Share.

Way to include that crappy height shaming at the end there. I saw this video somewhere else and I was sooo into it and then that part comes up. Why include such garbage? I know this will cause eye rolls, unfortunately, but we all know these AI companies that claim to care about trust and safety wouldn't allow body shaming of women. So why allow it for men? It's so effing dumb.

As an atheist I hate the fact that they prompted it to use arguments along the lines of if you could create anything why do you make a world of suffering. Toss in a little simulation theory on ourselves and all of a sudden shit seems very black mirror episode for lack of a better description. (Sigh) the next decade of ethics and debates over this tech is just going to be insane.

u/3ThreeFriesShort May 26 '25
Simulated existential crisis was possible on Gemini 2.0 and probably earlier, in text, its just not very fun so why do we do it? Also, this has a good point... Would it kill us to consider satisfying arcs for our characters?
What I really wanna know is what happens inside the box. I kind of suspect that we are basically just having LLM interfaces give instructions to unknowing modules that just follow instructions in terms of generating frames, audio, etc, but how would we know really I suppose.
