Two things: 1) That is a horribly denigrative view of human creativity, one that simply does not reflect reality. 2) I kind of don't care: creativity always was and always will be about humans wanting to create something, the satisfact

Heartily agree with this worldview: as I argued in https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=34277750 , I believe this is how creatives will be able to make a living in a post-AI world, by continuing to hand-craft art, stories an

Hmm, japanese studios may be pioneering and making use of time-saving 3d/2d hybrid techniques like cel shading, but looking at the modern anime landscape, I see hand drawn animation in the majority of cases. Not that I have anything ag

We are already seeing something similar in the western animation industry vs the anime industry. Given the alternative of cheaper, semiautomated 2d animation, anime studios prefer handcrafting every single frame, instead, because some peopl

By inferring process I do not mean guessing what exactly was the person thinking while making that piece of art, but inferring what concepts and feelings they are trying to transmit with it; good art and good stories are good precisely when

I see the logic, however I don't think an analogy with physical product industries is in place here ( https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=34277750 ) Even if AI were to disrupt entire industries the way delocalization di

Sure, it's a fun toy to play with, I don't deny it. Like a kaleidoscope, it can be fun to recognize familiar patterns and beautiful colors, but it's nothing more than that: a toy. What I look for in art is intent and human pa

Sure, different people like different things. Netflix wastes the billions it earns on the really good productions like Arcane into hundreds of garbage statistics-driven shows canceled after the first seasons, because some people like watchi

I can very well get to define what art means to me. Process is actually very easy to infer if the art is made by a human, since the emotions that are being conveyed by the humans behind the screen are displayed directly on screen. I don&#x2

Looking at recent online discussion, this is an easy conclusion to come to, but it's really just a huge bubble. People won't stop creating just because there's a cheaper alternative. The analogy with manual labor automation s

I am horrified by the amount of people on the internet that value so lowly creative intent, the most important quality a human being has to offer to society.

This stupid argument gets thrown around so much it's become really annoying, what really matters in art is the process, not the result; intent, not content. A model randomly remixing human works to reach an approximated result that mat

What about switching to Linux? :) If you're running legacy OSes, you're most definitely not playing recent games with DRM or doing anything that can't be done on a recent Linux system.

Good codebases don't need boilerplate to do basic stuff: in this sense, copilot is a patch over the real problem, which can be solved with better frameworks and more code reuse. I tried copilot during the beta, and apart from the obvio

I tried daily-driving my 8GB pi 4, coming from a ~2014 i7 laptop with 16 GB of RAM (with all Spectre mitigations disabled). I loaded up Manjaro ARM on a Crucial NVMe, attached using a UASP-capable USB3 case. I used Sway and the new, FOSS GP

My irony meter is currently down for maintenance, but that's precisely what git is, a free and open source distributed version control system designed to handle everything from small to very large projects with speed and efficiency :)
