(I think) I get how venture capital works, my point is that the bullish story for openAI has them literally restructuring the global economy. It seems strange to me that people are making bets with relatively slim profit margins (an average

I get that this example is simplified, but doesn’t the maths here change drastically when the 5% changes by even a few percentage points? The error bars on Openais chance of succes are obviously huge, so why would this be attractive to acco

Confused a bit by the article: it mentions human trials began in september 2024, but also that the trials that might prove it working are yet to start?

It’s interesting that half the comments here are talking about the extinction line when, now that we’re nearly entering 2026, I feel the 2027 predictions have been shown to be pretty wrong so far.

I hate posts complaining about political posts on a tech news site. Those posts will always exist and complaining only causes agitation on both sides.

I’m not sure if I understand the usecase: for a lot of generated worlds (of eg games) you don’t just want downsampled “realistic” topology, you want specific stylization and fine-grained artistic control. For those cases this is worse than

The turing test is still a thing. No llm could pass for a person for more than a couple minutes of chatting. That’s a world of difference compared to a decade ago, but I would emphatically not call that “passing the turing test” Also, none

I don't really get your point, there's high unemployment outside the US too in many places?

A way to state this point that you may find less uncharitable is that a lot of current LLM applications are just very thin shells around ChatGPT and the like. In those cases the actual "new" technology (ie, not the underlying ai n

Are those the actual wireframes they're showing in the demos on that page? As in, do the produced models have "normal" topology? Or are they still just kinda blobby with a ton of polygons

Having the technical knowhow to have an ai generate 3d models, but then generatively compositing those assets together into environments in a way that would have seemed overly simplistic to gamedevs 3 decades ago…

I guess you could argue the US is kinda violating 3, since I think the Trump administration tried to ask for future financial reparations in exchange for support during the war. But 4? This isn't a nuclear conflict yet right?

I’m not from the us, so can someone give me some real perspective? If you have a couple years experience and you want to make at least ~50k a year, is it actually really hard to find a job in tech right now? Or is this more about senior peo

What I struggle with is that it’s hard to derive meaning from purpose when the best I can hope for is improving the lives of others until they are at the same level of comfort as me: struggling to find meaning and happiness. We can all deri

(For those who are confused, a few days ago on twitter some random graphic designer / webdev claimed that they started the trend of using dithering in modern graphic design. People made of fun of that person. All of that is unrelated t

Ironically, I think a large part of the sense of scale comes from it being a vertical video. Really helps with stacking all these layers of environment on top of each other. Anyway, Rückenfigur ( https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki

If you look at the other tools on the page, there's stuff for property-management and sending rent-reminders. I guess they know what part of their userbase is the most moneyed.

Breastfeeding generally stops at age 2 (or earlier). Your contention is that literacy is significantly affected by whether the mom or the dad is taking care of the child at age 2 and below?

You are being intellectually dishonest. What do carrying pregnancy and breastfeeding have to do with caring for a kindergarten age child?

What do you mean? Fathers can teach their kids to read too right? In what sense are mothers specifically at fault?
