Yeah a lot of these articles are basically “it couldn’t read my mind so it’s bad”. I’ve employed a few artists before and the workflow is quite similar to the version 0.1 we’re dealing with for AI art now.

Explain your concept and then get 1 out of 10 illustrations kind of in the right direction, start iterating on that for a few generations and so on.

> For example, people experiencing persistent mental health issues would literally be locked up "for the common good".

I don’t know that we’re doing much better now. Is it so great that now the same people spend a few decades self-medicating and living like rats on the streets because they can’t escape their inner demons without extremely intense intervention?

Do people really look at a person having a violent psychotic breakdown for the 10th time this year in the street and pat society on the back that at least he’s not in a mental institution..

Finlandssvenska is a strong identity that stands on its own. Kind of like Quebec. Definitely they don’t hold any fealty to Sweden

A competition like Spelling Bee basically makes no sense in Finnish. As long as you know the alphabet you can spell any word you hear

What is the PaaS people use today? Just big cloud is too powerful or are there still niche companies that make life easy for startups like Heroku used to?

Let’s see.. work, work, work, work, work.

Local maxima

I don’t believe that can happen. The steam deck kind of works because they pack in a bunch of peripherals that won’t fit into a phone. The touchscreen experience on it is miserable. 99% of steam games with touchscreen controls would be totally a sad experience.

What it is is a laptop in a funny case.

It’s also really hard for most people to think of what to cook at the end of a long day. Meatballs and potatoes is the first thing that pops to my head and turning that into brussel sprouts and potatoes sounds unappetizing but impossible meatballs and potatoes is quite close especially if I add a sauce. I guess that’s the cultural imprint.

I do also care about the animals and the environmental impact and it’s just extremely naive to think that a large part of humanity would switch from meat-based diets to tofu and steamed veggies. People are lazy and like tasty easy things.

In my experience the flavor is not especially close to a real smoking - which is a cooking/preservation technique - not just a flavoring.

Most fake meats I eat like impossible have macros very close to real meat. And for the junkier cuts like nuggets often slightly better. They are salty though so I try to avoid adding extra salt to other parts of the dish

I have no clue about what these professional cameras or industry names for shots mean so I guess this article is not for me.

I guess that would take effort though while a rant can be typed out in an hour

Ukraine is also not in the EU.

I hadn’t heard of it. What a terrible plan.

Vietnam is the most proven country at defeating a super power militarily.

Don’t forget Foxconn itself is Taiwanese

You’ll definitely need to nap the walkable areas and even worse split the image into layers so you can walk behind/between things.

Ah I kind of want to see the alien horror of AIs teaching each other what art is for multiple generations

I don’t think that’s true though. There’s no reason you can’t prompt an AI to make an image that makes people feel things. One of the very first things I tried was “Mt rainier by Monet” and it certainly made me feel quite serene just like any human made nature art

But for people like me I can never get what’s in my head out on paper. So is this better then me trying to explain to a third party what I want and then checking in a few days later if they got it? I think it very easily could be

I’m super excited about these new tools as a (sometimes) indie game developer. Now I can iterate and get good game graphics like portraits and load screens and backgrounds with a much easier immediate workflow. I’m sure there will be a 3D model generating AI not too long from now. Those are purely mathematic objects (graphs) so Id imagine it’s feasible. I’d much rather spend my time coming up with a prompt to generate characters and environments. I gave up on my last project after modeling a animal for three days and not being happy with it.

Blue collar jobs that require dexterity

That is pretty powerful. I didn’t realize we had so many tools already that something like this looks.. easy?

Isn’t that good for us worker bees? You can set more boundaries because employers have to fight for you

Everyone’s waiting for the AM5 switch. No point in buying a soon obsolete platform unless you really have to.

I wanted to do EE but the jobs are just completely different league. Hard to compete against the “best employability” of.. pretty much any profession.

One startup I was at had a important hardware component and it was a delight to work with electrical engineers

Like Reddit but with more geographic subdivision. I wouldn’t be too surprised if that was big one day

Ugh I do still remember the chronological feed where posts didn’t get ranked. I enjoyed that product. Feels like every efficiency improvement they did removed a few percentage of users until now when there’s just a few weirdos left posting

I guess it’s not a new idea but it is a more potent version of the same. DFW himself had a serious TV addiction which is where that idea comes from.

It’s annoying how many people talk about “web3” like it will inevitably become just as popular as the internet is today. The internet is the ultimate outlier. Web3 might just as easily end up as a Tamagotchi or Virtual Boy or Adventure Game or Zip drive or Kazaa or MySpace or Google+ or iPod or LAN party or Google Glass or.. you get the idea. Just because you like a technology and are invested in it doesn’t mean it’ll become bigger than sliced bread.
