People chanting “If everyone just did X, Y wouldn’t be a problem!” without seriously addressing why everyone doesn’t just do X already, or making a serious proposal for how everyone is going to just do X from now on. A phenomenon not limite

I wonder how much RLHF or other human tweaking of the models contributes to this sort of overstauration / excess contrast in the first place. The average consumer seems to prefer such features when comparing images/video, and use

Why does this app use the camera to take photos? "The camera will be used to take photographs" Given how that reads, I'd think listing any single specific reason a user would want to take photos with this app instead of the d

The lack of discussion of a middle ground is a product of how genAI is right now. 1) most genAI tools are explicitly catered towards “prompt goes in, complete work comes out” usage. 2) the ideal middle path results in a work where there are

It’s actually less sophisticated - it’s merely the choice of what key input is reported when two keys are physically in the down position, simultaneously. “Report last key that was activated” means that rapidly switching/alternating be

I would assume the cost of making all existing apartments that well insulated (and actively ventilated to compensate), not just from the outside but from each other, is prohibitive. Raising standards for new construction sounds nice from a

People not giving a shit about their jobs means their jobs don’t get done well - if at all. We’re quite dependent on the fastidiousness and conscientiousness of our peers, at least if you want life to be pleasant. People don’t have the abil

Because it’s a copy of you and you’ll stay dead either way, so there’s no moral or altruistic reason to boot up a copy. To the article’s premise where this technology constitutes resurrection, I’m not convinced that a post-neural-cloning so

Even with the most advanced pre-genAI technology, making sounds and images is a manual craft that requires one to develop not just technical skill / tool knowledge, but the concepts to define and articulate what you actually want. Inte

Calling current AI output “quality” belies a limited understanding of the requirements people have of generated images. The technology in its current state just has no practical relevance outside of a narrow slice of the most low-requiremen

There's a logical leap between "read the news" and "become more credulous, or well-informed about underlying statistics like broad immigration rates".

The problem with remote workers is that they will only move to a town after there’s a healthy crop of local businesses competing for patronage on quality. So they can’t become the motive for such businesses to start in a town. It’s a cr
