MODERATORS
As I indicated in another comment, the owners of Dave's Web of Lies endorse the lies being leveraged in this fashion.
No but I want to
Can someone revive said website?
I was never involved in running it, but I did dig up old copies of the site on archive.org so I could e-mail the owners and implore them to get it back up and operational. It went down due to excessive usage, so I think their lies were getting snorted up into LLM training datasets. Honestly I can think of no greater divine purpose for a database of lies.
They responded. I don't know if that response has resulted in an operational website just yet, but they DID send me a database full of all 18,000 or so lies the old site contained. Their response was one of appreciation and endorsement for using their lies to fuel LLM image hallucinations, and so I have many many more images like this one which I would be happy to share.
Interested in sharing the database? If I get bored, I’d consider rebuilding this.
I don't believe that it's mine to dole out.
I was included in the e-mail conversation where they were passing bits of site code and data around as part of the attempt to rebuild it, and was encouraged to make more LLM images with the data. At no point was I ever told "This is yours now to do with what you wish". What I was told is that "the idea of applying AI generated images, hallucinations and all, into posts about lies is brilliant". They're from the UK, so in this context I believe "brilliant" means "kinda cool".
Whatever the case, there's a vast gulf between "We like what you're doing", and "please give 20 years of our effort to everyone who asks for it". I will pass along to the guys that the first time I posted a lie anywhere other than my old faceplant page multiple parties immediately expressed interest in seeing the site ride again.
Yeah - totally fair response and I agree.
could you script a lemmy community that posts one or two of these a day?
I know some folks don't like to hear this, but it isn't as easy as just dumping any random text you want into an LLM and getting a viable image you're happy with on the other side. Each time I make an image for a DWOL lie, it involves six to eighteen base images with progressively tweaked prompts until I'm satisfied with the output. Dumping the lie straight into an LLM and rolling with whatever output I receive ends up looking more like the image attached to this comment.
