My guess is that the "experiment" isn't very rigorous -- just a direct link to some Twitter rando posting low-res image bait and cherry-picking answers (plus some trolly follow-ups).

That's fair, but a lot of the attacks on AI art specifically point to perceived technical and compositional flaws. Heck, you still see people making "mangled fingers" jokes, and that hasn't been a thing in frontier model

The protest was about (and timed to coincide with) the API changes.

I'd argue that Reddit leadership, which insulted, hobbled, and wrote off its mods and power users (destroying projects like /r/BotDefense) while doing little to crack down on the proliferation of bot repost content, had a maj

Nothing against her, I just think it's not advisable to put a lot of emotional investment in a company that's already shown it's willing to throw away what made people loyal to it to begin with. I've seen a lot of other

Being a "superfan" of a corporation is already kind of questionable, but especially so when its leadership has been steadily dismantling so many great customer-friendly things that distinguished them from the competition. I'm

Compare the state of transgender rights 10 years ago to the situation now, where a trans person can be literally arrested for going to the bathroom in the wrong state. Or abortion, which was legal everywhere five years ago but now has laws

You might want to tinker with the prompt a bit to get a different style; the AI vibe is very noticeable as-is, especially at a smaller scale.

I noticed the images are from Gemini, but what's with the rectangular blurring in the bottom-right corner? It only covers part of the logo, so I assume you weren't trying to hide it. Is there some kind of embedded identifier? I re

The benefit there is that the events are hand-curated with interesting historical facts and link to articles on the topic if you want to read more. Also real photographs, not extremely obvious AI imagery. The mechanics are also nicer -- pla

Either the HD, 4K Plus, or 4K Max. Just avoid the Select for now (though there will be more models with the new OS in the future).

Note that the final chapter is especially disgusting and explicit, to the point it's arguably a better story if you end it on the preceding cliffhanger rather than subject yourself to the characters becoming vehicles for the author&#x2

My post! :) Imgur might be vastly underselling the richness of the image, depending on your browser/device. Definitely check out the full 4K version if you're only seeing a thumbnail on that page: http://web.archive.org

Excellent article. And a great opportunity to share one of my favorite scifi worldbuilding artifacts: the 4K matte painting used for the brief view of Manhattan during the take-off sequence: http://web.archive.org/web/2

Might have something to do with electing a deeply corrupt conman as head of the executive branch and giving his congressional sycophants a majority.

What prospects does humanity have without nature, exactly? Even ignoring the moral and aesthetic value, it underpins not just the economy but the ability to survive on this planet. If the biosphere collapses then civilization will rapidly f

That's exactly what they did to the old Digg back in 2010 -- massive redesign that effectively deleted all old posts, comments, and favorites without warning or opportunity to back up. I pretty feel vindicated choosing not to trust the

It's grimly amusing that a non-profit created to control superintelligent AI for the benefit of humanity couldn't even handle Silicon Valley PR politics.

In fairness to the Trump administration, they did have several acceptable candidates in mind for a transitional government. They just accidentally killed them all. https://www.nytimes.com/2026/03/03/world&#x2F

I like how details fade around the edges -- though for maximum accuracy, there should only be a tiny area of high detail in the center, with most of the visual field being indistinct (as well as a total blind spot to one side). The brain ju
