Camera quality actually topped out a decade ago or so, and now it's become all post-processing trends that define "best". Not unlike the "Best jacket of the season" being the one that is most fashionable as opposed

I'm continually perplexed by people's perception that AI would be incapable of generating new ideas or discoveries, even years ago. Deterministic machines do the same stuff again and again. Add entropy and they do new original stu

That sucks, I'm not sure why that would be without deep diving your fathers computer. I'm sure you agree these corporations are greedy, and definitely don't like leaving money on the table, so it's odd when their automat

If we lived in a sane world, people would simply pay for what they use. Then we could avoid all this confusion, and google would have large (monetary) incentive to protect it's customers.

That's totally fine, but then the correct action is to not visit sites that have ads then. The protest of the ad-economy is boycotting ad based services. Not using those services while blocking the ads. That just sends the signal that

They aren't preferred targets so much as they are the cheapest targets. These scam ads are trying to play the numbers game that email spammers do. So they just bid on everyone at the minimum bid. For people with fleshed out ad-profiles

The real question to be debated is how do you deal with a new kid on the block, who is better than you at [whatever]. Denial seems to be the general human default, it's easy and free, but at best it can only delay the inevitable. Accep

The more you ad-block and tracker block, the more scammy the ads when you take down the guards. People who never do any sort of blocking are the most valuable ad-targets, and hence get the highest bids when their views are auctioned. They g

Meta knows you work for them, and sees it as boosting or gaming the algo. There are a gazillion accounts that do this constantly, and all of them appeal.

The real question is why you would spend money to advertise to probably the most advertising adverse, and ad-bloc literate, demographic?

Neither of those other two examples would stop corporations from giving you money. Bold faced lying to them would. Boardrooms run businesses, not bookstore ethics clubs.

I'd imagine at this point they are likely an acquisition target if they can get a halfway decent model. I can't imagine having diffusion sub-agents (or sub-sub-agents) in an orchestration wouldn't be beneficial.

They notice the price, that's for sure. That's why these things are so prevalent, 99.999999% are hyper focused on price above all else.

Does it still have that distinct off-white shading of previous models though? I'm 99% sure that that is the main tell AI sniffers rely on.

Meat is particularly ironic because it uses an obscene amount of water. Even worse, a lot of the feed for cattle comes from the imperial valley in CA, which has first dibs on the Colorado River, which is on the verge of collapsing. Obviousl

Just because something is in the training data, doesn't mean it is the root of an LLMs output. Turn off web search and ask a model what a random redditor said about a random topic in 2015. You will only get hallucinations at best, even

Everyone knows that they train on the discounted rate plans data. All the labs are upfront about this too. If you need privacy, then you are going to have to pay full price for those tokens (API). This has been true since day one. Everyone
