One of the best features I built into our game studio's AI router (IMO) was to take a random sampling of generations and have them generate across ALL models (that we support, at least) so we, the developers, can browse outputs and get

I don't think OP's "Why do people ask employees this stuff" question implies you _shouldn't_ ask, but rather wonders why people even ask when you're obviously not going to get an answer (and if you do, it'

nit: 45k is the average car loan for a new car, but average for a used car is $25k. Purchasing a car is a necessity but purchasing a new car is a luxury.

I don't think a cleaning robot and a vehicle are in the same category, as vehicles are more a necessity (at the very least to get to and from your jobs, to buy groceries, etc) and a cleaning robot is squarely a luxury.

Bots routinely overwhelm my public-facing websites. The last few times I've turned on "attack mode" in Cloudflare (which I do when bot swarms get particularly nasty), traffic dropped by at least 20k requests/minute (whic

Very, very, very excited to hopefully stop getting support emails at Notebook.ai for people trying to get help with NotebookLM. Gemini Notebook is a way better name for the masses.

Ironically, the prevalence of AI "tells" like that (combined with the ubiquity of AI works passed off as human-written) will inevitably feed back into more use by non-AI writers who think they're normal. (Also, I'm never

Is a google search actually easier than asking a model?

I had a 300k LOC game that needed refactored and segmented into DAG assemblies for a composable engine to reuse in a few other similar games our studio is prepping to build. I tried holding Opus's hand over a week trying to get it done

How are people selling RAM (and GPUs) these days? I have a bunch to offload but Facebook Marketplace and eBay don't sound like they're very great for small, very expensive ($1-3k) electronics...

Hmmm. I have a game on steam that has almost entirely AI-generated graphics (and AI-generated animations/code that move them), but we pay someone to do our promotional videos. Wonder if something like this would tag the video as AI-gen

The entire city shuts down and loses their mind with just a millimeter or two of snow here. Last time we got 0.25 of an inch there were ~9 accidents within a 2-mile span on the highway in the morning, and we just ended up shutting the highw
