For anyone here who works at Anthropic or OpenAI, this is the doing of your lovely CEOs and their constant fear-mongering that has turned an entire population of people against anything even remotely touching AI. Community flyers have been

I exclusively use Siri to start timers and alarms. The UX for voice for some actions can actually be the best UX for something.

Amazon and I guess Siri's original design was completely undiscoverable. Both had limited vocabulary and actions you could take. I had to learn from others what I could even ask the devices. Also both were audio only and for things lik

There seems to be two kinds of people whenever this conversation comes up. If I take an analogy of two kinds of people who visit Yosemite National Park, person A would refuse to see Glacier Point unless they embark on the long all day hike

Pretty sure I heard one of the PMs in a podcast a few weeks ago say they are intentionally not building support for it out of concerns of enabling deep-fakes. I agree though. My issue is the cost for using AI video models is way too high fo

You could argue that millennials walked into social media and the mobile app explosion with open arms, but were burned at every angle. Photo proof of your keg stand that your upper management now see. Proof of you making drunk (or high) com

This is cool! There were a few rust attempts I played around with last year, but they all seemed to fizzle out in favor of everything running on top of js or python. I know that Google just launched a go version a couple months ago, but I h

Consciousness is such a hard concept to box. I mostly attribute "mystical" thinking as the thing we do when we can't fully articulate or understand how and why something works. A computer system is magical to anyone who doesn

The first season of the tv show Westworld is a treasure trove of thought experiments exploring the value of what extending conciousness to "machines" would look like and I'm pretty sure there's absolutely zero value for

Not that you're wrong, but I could have sworn that Marvel production was always based in the UK. Post-production is very much still in California though.

Google and xAI only allow 720p when you start adding references, and neither allow you to sync to audio. This is entirely because of deepfakes. Apparently Seedance has a version without guardrails if you are a licensed production company. I

Last big social event I went to a few weeks ago, the coolers were packed with Athletic Brewing and Liquid Death along with a few off-brands of flavored sparkling water. Post pandemic, in my little bubble at least, I almost never see people

Given that Martin Scorsese is now an "advisor", I suspect BFL will continue to position itself as the research lab for filmmakers. This video model, if comparable to Seedance 2.0 won't really make sense as a slop generator, a

I would attribute any in-person cultural shift to the generation of 20-somethings trapped online during their teenage years from COVID. They are finally old enough, and have enough power to run things.

The value of an LLM is the dynamic reasoning you get out of it and the cost to execute on that. I see two forces working against this that proprietary models will always have over an open source model. 1. The biggest is content licensing. C

I'm pretty sure that this is both 1. an artifact of agent tools only doing generic greps based on keyword searches, limiting the scope to a few lines 2. RLHF from Anthropic and OpenAI that bake in catastrophic edit avoidance I used to

TBF, I just recently picked up this same model, and it's reminding me of the last gen Intel i9 MBP. Just visiting any non-basic website spins up the fans and battery life isn't great either. Yes, this thing is fast, but damn it ge

My only problem with generative art is 1: right now, it's basically 90% beautiful hyper-realistic woman in some scene. That is SO incredibly boring. These models are able to generate all kinds of never before seen mixed together conten

And of course, gpt-image-2 has over-corrected and now as of today, prompts that worked fine a couple weeks ago are now getting blocked for "sexual content". I'm seriously placing rugby players on a field with poses, and the r

Native software is incredibly difficult to build well. There are at least 4 platforms they would need to support: Win, Mac, iPhone, and Android. That's 4 different software engineers at least, just for the frontend. Then, there's

Turns out the browser is an incredibly sophisticated and highly performant layout engine that works on almost every platform out there. Native UI frameworks are always going to be more efficient and let you access more of the hardware, but

It's a bit reductive to pin this on Ronald Reagan. The entire western world had been shifting towards neoliberalism as a direct response to the eastern world shifting towards communism since WW2. Trump also isn't the embodiment of

Seems legit. My experiments with GLM-5.2 so far have resulted in strange hallucinations in the tiniest of places. Like a wrong variable name. It seems like it's up for the task of complex code, but those little paper-cuts are scary to

Vision decoding outside of the latent space of the model is lossy, but claude opus's vision isn't that great outside of UI screenshots. I mean it works in a pinch. At least in my testing, if you're looking at non UI images, t

I know at my company our leadership was quite indifferent to how AI was adopted and really relied on the ground level engineers to determine what AI was good for and how we can best make use of it. It was the engineers at the ground floor w

That billion dollars had to come from somewhere, and it definitely didn't happen from a single individual's hard work. A lot of people were involved in that over a long period of time. It's also weird to attach an emotional t

Can anyone help me understand why this particular issue is any different than Anthropic training its models with its brand of moral judgement since day one? I've always been turned off by their particular stances on things they bake in

Nano Banana Pro is still the industry standard as far as I’m concerned. I think giving a vision model spatial awareness is the next evolutionary step here, so I don’t think they’re behind at all.

Hollywood is using this tech already. Storyboarding and previs work has already fully become driven by AI tools.

The problem isn’t training data, it’s reference locking and allowing anyone to make whatever content they want.
