You don’t see a difference between using a paintbrush to paint a painting, and pasting “landscape painting ultra-detailed 4K artstation” into midjourney and getting an immediate result? I think it’s more like buying a paintbrush that also p

It could all be part of Musk’s plan. Make people upset that they can’t use the website properly, and then offer a paid service that provides them with a working version?

This only happened once to me as a kid, and only for a few hours. I can still remember being in tears, inconsolable, trying to explain to my father that “the train” was missing an important part, and that if I didn’t find the part, the trai

I saw it as them admitting to having a psychological bias, not necessarily saying they would act on it. We all hold biases which are not arrived at through reason. It’s possible to notice one in ourselves without agreeing that it’s right.

I did this when I was younger. I wouldn’t recommend it unless you have a specific plan on how you’re going to challenge your fears each day. I stayed in hostels for four weeks and only really managed to talk to a couple of people. The rest

Last time I went to the dentist he told me that things looked good and to “keep flossing”, even though I never floss. I assume if a dentist can’t tell if I do or do not floss, there mustn’t be much of a tangible benefit.

I often contract with companies who pitch creative work, and one of the trends I’ve noticed is that creative directors are no longer getting their employees to create concept art for pitches. It’s all Midjourney now. My sample size so far i

In my experience, regular users not only notice, but they want more of this sort of thing. They don’t want their photos to be a reflection of reality. They want them to be better. I was at a family gathering a year or so ago, and my mother
