I'd argue that it allowed people that lacked the creative confidence to create original art, to now have the confidence to make generic art. I don't mean this in a deeply negative way. I just think that people's view of "

It's posted on the internet. Someone will always have a copy. It will always exist. And if it doesn't exist online, it will exist offline for people to look at away from the eyes of angry copyright holders. Art is eternal.

I wish people had a bit more confidence about making art. Not everything needs to be a flashy colorful realistic looking drawing. I'd argue they weren't talentless, just unconfident and narrow minded towards what art can be. Grab

I feel like I actually learn and gain valuable insights (such as posts like this) more than not. Considering there's no endless feed, I don't find it addictive in the same way reddit or twitter is with their algorithm aggressively

Looks fun. I'm considering signing up but I think I'd just be more happy not having a heavy online presence. Twitter falling apart made me really enjoy being offline and connecting with friends and family. Small community is key I

With the rate things are improving and all the new paradigms being explored, I feel like this course will be outdated fast. I learned about generative AI 2 years ago and all the tools I used then are outdated.

I remember there was a point where ads on YouTube were tolerable. It's wild how aggressive they are now. I don't even bother watching so many videos now that I have to sit through 2 mins of unskippable ads what feels like every mi

I have a lot of respect for self learners. Don't think I would have learned to code if I didn't feel the financial and academic pressure from learning it in University. I still remember my intro course being so mind numbingly diff

Considering how character focused that game was, I can see that working. The side quests were the most interesting part.

This has such a high chance of being a fun but forgettable mass audience generic fantasy. I don't think any Zelda game had a incredible story, it was basic evil darkness takes over world and must be stopped by unlikely hero. They all h

Many people have small followings of friends. I thought it was a nice way to easily share a funny gameplay clip. I don't post on Twitter to capture a mass audience and I don't think my friends considered in spam.

All public domain too. Someone should make a card game using the art. I plan on using the art as set dressing in a game I'm making.

I love the idea. The world needs more kind apps. There's another app I'm using called derive which just pins a random place on a map within 10km of me and I have to go there. That's it. No extra bells or whistles. The interfa

Walking aimlessly with no phone helps with this too. Long showers as well. Often when I'm in a creative block I go on a 4 hour walk and my brain manages to come up with new ideas.

Remotely it takes more intentional effort. I think a hybrid model for juniors is best. If fully remote is the only option then you really need to be proactive about supporting the junior. I don't think a on site model for mentoring tra

This would be a lot of fun to use in an art installation setting. I'm considering building a few just for how strange and wonderful it would look to see a bunch of growing robots that a group of people can control.

Wouldn't it seem reasonable to assume that any new technology will train an LLM with extensive documentation and tutorials before being released. GPT4 can browse the web now too and open source LLMa can be trained on custom data.

My theory is that experts will be hired to train specific models. Documentation will be written to be understood my an LLM chat interface. Edge cases and tutorials will be pre-made and then fed to the model. Technical writing might be skill

Whatever is new will probably be designed for chatgpt to understand first. Maybe people won't bother using your tool if it can't be used without a AI chat interface helping. The same way I won't learn a programming language i

Exactly. Stackoverflow can be kind of a mess though. You'll often be sifting through tons of answers or might still be confused and asking follow up questions can take time to get an answer. Now that is all immediate.

Next generation of programmers will be incredible. I don't know if it will make better programmers but there definitely will be more now that there is even less friction to learn. Similar to the big boom in interactive coding tutorials
