hassleblad23··on Animate Anyone 2: High-Fidelity Character Image Animation
I think we have already crossed that threshold. There are videos today that you'd have a hard time telling if they are AI generated. Not always, but sometimes.
hassleblad23··on Do ambiguous images provide psychological insights? Testing a popular claim
Tests to determine someone's personality are totally useless, yet they are everywhere. What actionable insight could you even gain.

hassleblad23··on Intel's Battlemage Architecture
> Intel takes advantage of this by launching the Arc B580 at $250, undercutting both competitors while offering 12 GB of VRAM.

Not sure where you got that 350 EUR number for B580?

hassleblad23··on Ilya Sutskever's startup in talks to fundraise at roughly $20B valuation
My gpt detector is going off on this comment, but it's probably just plain old BS.
hassleblad23··on Questions I'll always ask in a product review
I would be happy to get this list of questions in a product review.

hassleblad23··on Radiation belts detected around Earth after solar storm
Nothing mysterious about it.
hassleblad23··on Paragon Ends Contract with Italy
Ah well, all such actions are always taken in retrospective, and only when there is enough backlash.
hassleblad23··on GitHub Copilot: The Agent Awakens
Github has completely abandoned the Intellij Copilot plugin it seems. Even model selection is not supported. This is good for Jetbrains though because they have their own competing AI service. Jetbrains AI doesn't support multiline edits in tab completion or chat, but it does in the inline prompt mode (although its limited to the same file only).
