Anecdotally (I did try it myself, but wasn’t blown away) many seem to like it for 3D modelling. That was emphasized in the promo too. I think this kind of ”general intelligence” is what is meant to set it apart from 5.6.

Get a significant fraction of the global economy and assorted geopolitical neuroses tangled up within your cannon and see if you won’t have better luck.

Well, is ”not actively make things worse in the short term?” too ambitious a goal? Considering the vast amount of money, world-class talent and political and industry vonnections Anthropic has access to, it feels a bit unfair to ask me to s

Fair enough, but taking the history-ending outcome as given so externalities don't matter doesn't seem like a great approach.

AI bros consistently handwave away any notions of the material world imposing limits, because (spoiler!) it's a religion where you start from the miracle and work backwards. "Oh, we'll just set up fully automated robotic rese

This part stood out. Afaik there is no NES with RGB output from the PPU. Those PPUs are only found in the PlayChoice-10 arcade hardware, and while they can be swapped into a NES, they are rare and expensive. The alternative is the NESRGB mo

Do you have a preferred 3D (polygon) modelling/graphics tool where you feel like you don't need to keep up guides and forums? I've been hearing this complaint since Blender 2.48 twenty years ago, where it might've had so

Deferred rendering requires a post process type antialiasing, can be TAA but also FXAA etc. It doesn't work with traditional MSAA. A lot of the UE tech is built around the assumption of TAA though.

I mainly learned linear algebra via hands-on 3D graphics, and have a hard time thinking about a matrix as anything other than 4x4 and representing a linear transform... How much do you even think about explicit matrix math when doing high-l

Sounds a bit like a holdover from a long history of monotheism, so I think westerners might be predisposed to this, yes.
