Not tired, but not impressed either. Looks cool, but I think it gets pretty boring after a couple of usages. Highly overrated and hyped if you ask me.

- Agingcoder 4y agoWell, I grew up with 8 and 16 bit machines, and dall-E and most sophisticated machine learning stuff looks very science fiction to me. I understand how it works, but I can't help thinking 'woah...' every time I see it!
- matt_heimer 4y agoReminds me of Next Gen Enterprise crew describing to the computer what they want in the holodeck.
- layer8 4y agoThat would be an interesting experiment to try the exact same examples from the show.
- dougmwne 4y agoIt is honestly beyond Star Trek. The Computer was extremely capable, but also very literal and creative interpretation was not a strong point. Data painted, but not very well. Reality is ending up to be more interesting than our wildest fantasies from a few years ago.
- mountainriver 4y agoWow this is shocking to hear, It’s one of the most stunning achievements we’ve ever accomplished with computers. A huge milestone in the journey to AI which is of course the future of everything
- bhj 4y agoAI (ML more accurately) helping to solve climate change would be the future of everything.
- IceMetalPunk 4y agoTo be fair, climate change is already "solved" in that we know how to reduce, slow, or possibly even halt it. It's not a matter of figuring out how, it's a matter of getting people to actually care enough to do those things.
- hirundo 4y agoMaybe with sufficient intelligence we can solve it with geo-engineering, which has its risks but is generally more tractable than the social engineering that conventional solutions rely on.
- ericd 4y agoWe know how to do it while also massively decreasing living standards for most of the developed world, which would likely lead to massive civil unrest. That tends to lead to war, which seems like a surer way to kill civilization than even unmitigated climate change. So we don’t really have a solution.
- JohnHaugeland 4y agoWe do. It's called nuclear power. It's just that all the deep thinkers won't stop complaining about safety problems that don't exist, and won't stop pushing for solar, which has burned literal tens of literal trillions of dollars without succeeding, when 2t is all you need to finish the job with nuclear
- ericd 4y agoI love fission, but it's really not a silver bullet here. But yeah, it'd be great if we could get out of our own way, and modernize some of the regulation around it. Allowing fuel reprocessing in the US and loosening up around low grade waste seems like it'd help a lot.
