“I had to pay to scale up my server, pay extra for export traffic, and spent part of my weekend blocking the abuse caused by this specific bot.”īeaumont also defended img2dataset by comparing it to the way Google indexes all websites online in order to power its search engine, which benefits anyone who wants to search the internet. “I noticed because I received an alert from my host that the site was under a sustained attack,” Eden said. Currently, OpenBenches has mapped 27,629 benches, and hosts 250GB of photos. It seems you're trying to decide for million of other people without asking them for their consent.”Įden told Motherboard in an email that he noticed img2dataset was scraping his site, OpenBenches, which invites users to upload pictures and locations of memorial benches from across the world. You can give your consent for anything if you wish. “Letting a small minority prevent the large majority from sharing their images and from having the benefit of last gen AI tool would definitely be unethical yes,” he said on Github. When Eden and other Github commenters pushed back, Beaumont said it would be “unethical” to make img2dataset opt-in rather than opt-out. Beaumont did not respond to a request for comment. “If you don't wish for people to view images from your website, the best way is to turn it off,” Beaumont replied. “Please can you change the default behaviour so that it will only work on sites which set the X-Robots-Tag: YesAI?” “I don't understand why the onus is on me to add a new header to my sites opting out of this tool,” Eden said. On Sunday, Terence Eden posted a comment on the Github page, saying that the tool “hammered” several of his sites and requesting that it be made opt-in. Img2dataset will attempt to scrape images from any site unless site owners add https headers like “X-Robots-Tag: noai,” and “X-Robots-Tag: noindex.” That means that the onus is on site owners, many of whom probably don’t even know img2dataset exists, to opt out of img2dataset rather than opt in. Beaumont is also an open source contributor to LAION-5B, one of the largest image datasets in the world that contains more than 5 billion images and is used by Imagen and Stable Diffusion. The result is an image dataset, the kind that trains image-generating AI models like Open AI’s DALL-E, the open source Stable Diffusion model, and Google’s Imagen. If you are from another LEA in Louisiana this place will be an easy job likely, if you are from out of state this place will shock you (Louisiana is very far behind a lot of states with LE) but it is about as good as it gets if you are looking to continue your career in LE, and for sure the best place to retire in Louisiana.Img2dataset is a free tool Beaumont shared on GitHub which allows users to automatically download, and resize a list of URLs. The agency has a living restriction that is based on nothing, just an older mentality that they can recruit you for votes, so if you have heritage in another area or prefer to live in a different community than this place is a no-go. Work environment is not bad, but you will have your days where you say "at least the benefits are good." Advancement is a bit slow and very political, but not impossible. Retirement is insane here, no better system in the state. However you will not find better pay and pay advancement in a Sheriff's Office. Agency thinks they have a modern version of everything but are behind on some things, there is a very "if it aint broke" approach to a lot of things that can get frustrating. Best LEA in Louisiana to work for in regards to community, pay, and benefits.
