The beauty is that you don't need to write a complex prompt, you already have a language model to do that for you. You can have GPT write an outline, come up with some plot twists and than write a full story based on all that. You don&

This seems far less than a fundamental problem with black boxes and far more a problem with image models not yet using the full power of large language models. ChatGPT almost always understands what I want. Even if it doesn't, it'

They'll certainly try, but I am somewhat optimistic here, as you can feed the language model with some ground truths that allows it to detect the marketing nonsense. Another nice thing with language models is that they condense the inf

No, regular games just sit around and wait for the player to do something. Nothing ever happens without the player actively triggering it. This is quite different from a movie, which will play from start to finish without the viewer ever li

"The Invisible Hours" is pretty close to that. You can't interact with it, but you can freely explore what is happening while all the characters do their own thing. It's basically a theater play that is spread around a w

There has been a lot of StarWars and Marvel content in VR, but that was regular old VR content and predates the "Metaverse" hype.

Nobody even knew what the Metaverse was actually supposed to be, but once Facebook renamed itself to Meta every big company wanted to have their part of the Metaverse too. If Zuckerberg spends billions on it, it must be important after all.

You are looking at from a perspective where the chatbots are only used to generate junk content. Which is a real problem. However, there is another far more positive perspective on this. These chatbots can not just generate junk, they can a

The Google bot has been consuming their art for many years, even copying it verbatim into Google's site and yet they didn't complain. This seems much more about the fear of competitions, than about violation of copyright. And yes,

Resolution is roughly around 1800x1920 over 100° FOV. That means you get around 19 pixel-per-degree. Retina resolution is 60 pixel-per-degree. Acceptable text readability starts at around 30 pixel-per-degree. So no, for most common uses thi

Minimize keeps cluttering up the taskbar. That's why all persistent-background apps go into the systray, be it chat apps, mouse drivers, graphics driver or whatever. You don't want them to fill up your taskbar for no reason. This

Chat apps had that behavior since decades ago, ever since Windows95 got a systray. It's nothing new or special, it's kind of expected at this point. Though I think here is a failure of Microsoft to improve the UI and use different

There are a couple of headsets that allow you to adjust the diopter of the lenses so you don't need to wear glasses, e.g. Vive Flow or HuaweiVR. Both of them however have numerous other big issues, so I really would not recommend them.
