The other posters here are right. I just wanted to point out the odd beauty in the fact that the fuel that makes our biology possible is also one of the things that is killing us. If you get a chance, read up a little bit on redox reactions

I don't think any of you should want to be smelling Ozone. Diatomic oxygen is already a highly reactive fuel that is killing us and giving us cancer every single day. The ozone species is even more oxidative. Oxygen is how we move abou

IANAL, but my understanding is that they can make it a retroactive crime or clarify existing laws in ways that include prediction markets. Don't assume safety. Edit - was curious: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ex_p

I don't know how to feel about any of this. First and foremost, I feel like Spotify is scummy. I don't like what they did when they were founded, I don't like what they do to artists. I hate the hyperscalers being in this bus

You would be surprised. Some shots are indeed impossible to one shot, but others can serendipitously turn out better than you wanted. I'd say it averages 2.5 generations per shot. A lot of single one off one shots, and some (few) shots

Veo 3 is one of the weaker video models, surprisingly! Google and OpenAI are both really far behind the Chinese at this point. Perhaps Google will unveil something groundbreaking at Google I/O, but both companies have been trailing for

No. It's not. The proprietary pieces are 99% of the offering. It just wouldn't have ever worked without the open source bits.

Please show me the open source AWS. It's an encrustified open source offering where the original vendors aren't compensated. Where there's lock in, proprietary offering creep, and highway robbery billing.

Neither would be fucked if they were open source. Or if they had a ton of viable competition.

You can build one in three weeks with Claude. I'm not joking - you'll have energy for side projects you never had before, and you'll finish them.
