How does generative AI create convincing lighting in images?

I believe lighting plays a very important part in making a scene realistic when it comes to creating one artificially, like in 3D modelling. That is why I also think the lighting of these AI generated images is the prime source of what impresses people about these images since no matter how unrealistic or distorted the subject...

Pyro ,

It kinda understands context.

An image generator makes an image of static similar to like a TV does with bad signal. The Ai looks atthe static and sees shapes in it. The prompt influences what it’s trying to “see”. It starts filling in the static to a full image, it does this in steps, more steps generally means a better quality image.

Also to say a LLM is a Large Language Model and is different from an image generator, though the proccess for them is very similar.

Pyro ,

To answer for anyone wants to know.

  • No, not a spin off or creation of openai the creator of chatgpt
  • site was created in April of 2023

Ish on the deter by being there. I can’t speak for all companies but the major one I work for would have you act as just a visible deterance by just standing there. The grabbing the cable and stuff would be what would be “to far”

Pyro ,

Moving to block somebody’s path That I would agree with on being an escalation.

I have seen a lot of times by just there being a few people around giving the we know and we can see you can make someone ditch all the stuff and (some times) cuss out everyone as they leave.

I will admit that I would not advise the technique when it looks like someone is going to be very bold and just walk out with items “clearly” stealing (the cable on it still) and the OP story kinda shows why

Then again anytime I am around a shoplifter doing something like that being very aware of how they are moving or doing is important. Ill do my job but fuck getting hurt for the stuff, nothing in any store is worth it.

Pyro ,

The insurance generally doesn’t kick in unless its 100k plus. It is “planned” for that a certain amount of theft and such will happen,

As for getting sued, meh, merchant rights protect doing reasonable things. Issue comes up when someone “thinks” someone stole and does shit without thinking. Generally All the stores don’t want to have any type of liability with anyone getting hurt so no touching and/or heavy interacting is in policy

Pyro ,

Still slippery even legal. It can stay in the system for a bit so someone working “high” is a factor

It would solve so many problems though just have it legal and controled

Are we seriously calling medicinal cannabis "plant medicine" now and trying to hide what it actually is?

Saw an ad on YouTube for this service saying something like “if you’ve experienced chronic pain for a long time with no improvement, “plant medicine” might be right for you.”. So I checked it out. The website continually says “plant medicine” and doesn’t specify at all wtf that actually means. Until I saw wording...

Pyro ,

It probably links to it being illigal at the federal level still so ada would have to be sly about it.

Pyro ,

The problem Is real but this solution seems very bs

Pyro ,

I would rate it as a concern. Probably not “HUGE” concern but it is impacting thing.

I work loss prevention, so I have a slight bias. But I also see how often and to the volume that it is. There are individuals I have helped with that are linked to 6 digit worth of stuff (and then of course money theft but that’s a different ball game).

Yes if a company has 30,000,000 in sales, theft seems less a problem until it gets multipld out hundreds of times a 1,500,000 of saleable items being stolen can and is something that happens with the current security stuff. And while that is 1/20 the of the sales that 30 mill is before paying for the product, utilities and salary.

Profit is still there but it is getting harder to hold that profit and new ways to loose/new scams pop up all the time

Pyro ,

More then Likely the overall average is hitting that. not really going to argue that. I have been at and looked at metrics for individual stores that have been 4.2,4.5, and one that was a 6% (their was a bit of restructuring that happened after that). I will state that those percentages were lost item numbers that could be accounted with other things other then theft.

The store thats in a “nicer” area and the one that has is in a really bad 1 can even out so the number is low. but the bad store can have really high numbers, numbers that can be worse as it goes through. Also keep in mind that the overall theft % has stayed “constant” by the link you gave, and thats with the annoying glass cases and other such being used to try to lower shrink. better measures are needed as time passes. A case an area cost 6k to order for the area I was in, and the store chose to put it there. or the ones that are paying for off duty officers to help. If they didnt work the stores wouldnt use them (and yes that does happen, a security set for a store got canceled because the numbers didnt change after 5 months)

Pyro ,

Add in an extra twist. Hopefully if the sickos are at least happy with AI stuff they won’t need “real”

Sadly, a lot of it does evolve from wanting to “watch” to wanting to do

Pyro ,

“streamlining” is definitely happening. A lot is to just keep that serotonin going with happy rewards.

1 person I was talking to mentioned it might also be a change because of target. Zelda botw/totk was ment to be played in short burst while on train or a quick shrine or so before bed. Thus the bigger puzzles and things that requires a longer play (to avoid the wtf what is happening when I played yesterday question) are being phased down

Pyro ,

Yes, very useful tool. Not something that can be just thrown in. Has to be part of the system almost from start so that the appropriate ations and and text can be linked (unless it’s reading through save state and or is how the save state is read but that also had to be thought of early)

However, also not exactly what I ment. For instance years ago on doing a replay of Zelda oot left for about a week midday through the water temple. I could not figure out where I was in the puzzle for some time and ended up reseting as much as I could to just re walk through as much as I could. Somethings can’t be pre script written out due to unknown changes or capture what the user thought process is

I am not a huge fan of the “shrine” approach where everything is bite size but that seems to be the idea to make it easer for on the go. If you only have 15ish min of play what’s more enjoyable? Catching up what you did and trying to figure out what’s everything like since you last did things or knowing that this thing here is or needs to be done in front of me and I can continue.

Pyro ,

The issue is more generation is leaned on the less powerful it becomes. To create those stores that you were reading in books it was fed lots of other fantasy and game information, as more of its used the less ‘new’ stuff it can make.

Pyro ,

The instance can control it and another instance can create a “competition” of the same instance. Diffrent mods for each and not being locked to 1 type.

Though hopefully we get something similar to supper communities that are multiple of the same under 1 listing

Pyro ,

Whats funny is sometimes its used as a test drive. Baulders gate as a new one I know had a decent amount of pirating, and then many forms are talking about how they loved it and then bought a copy.

Pyro ,

The issue beyond them trying to change chromium to not have it but they are trying to make it so part of websites have the “security” built in as well

Pyro ,

It’s a different dev then others.

Its a side story were you can romance the companions your with, n the main story little to no impact

Pyro ,

At least on pc over over the option and it will show what your roll will be.

Can’t see the DC till to late but that’s a normal rpttrpg thing

Pyro ,

Yea. I got Google music way back, it got moved to YouTube music and wrapped with premium. Can’t complain about the result

Pyro ,

In a way yes it’s similar to email need to know if your @gmail or @yahoo.

As for “important” people, same noteworthy as any other thing. Only extra they could do is if they are with a company could have a server that is @target @mbl or @meta (though everyone might block the latter xp)
