It’s quite possible there’s more hateful speech against Democrats than Republicans.

I just saw ChatGPT say Fly Amanitas are a popular mushroom to cook with. I think I’ll stick to human-made recipes for now.

Have you had moisture problems in your house/apartment? The advice I see cautions against letting insulated spaces drop below 18 degrees C or so (around 65 F) as you’ll start to have issues with moisture buildup.

Is this requirement to register specifically a feature of the DMCA? It seems quite surprising if, as the article claims, “people who don’t have registered copyrights cannot enforce their copyrights in court.” That would mean that the vast m

” So in 2033, maybe the writer's main job will be adding personality to otherwise bland AI-generated stories. ” To me, this is about the same as suggesting chefs will be relegated to adding flavour to frozen pizzas.

So far, it looks like the things we never thought could be automated - and maybe didn’t want to automate - are ”easy” for AI and the stuff we thought could and should be automated is hard. So instead of AI helping us with the hard work of

Re: the flat look, I, too, suspect it comes from log footage, although I’m not sure it has to do with not knowing. It could also just be that if you do your dailies and editing without a LUT, as seemed to be common at one point, you get use

I am impressed with the technical level of the various AI tools, absolutely. I just think they are learning the surface of art - reproduction of reality and stylisation thereof - but not the point of art, which is orthogonal to the technica

I’m not sure what it would mean for AI to get “better” at art than humans. I expect we couldn’t understand the work it creates at that point.

Yea, that’s a pretty good analogy. A singing dog is impressive but not able to replace human singers. From what I’ve seen so far, AI tools create technically impressive but generic and derivative works, and on their own, can’t do what a hum

They still don’t do either very well. It’s more obvious with poetry and prose, but AI art is pretty vacuous as well once you get past the wow-effect.

Salt is used here as well. Maybe they use less, because while it definitely causes corrosion, 50 k miles seems incredibly short-lived.

Where / when was this? Living in Scandinavia, this was not my experience at all - as a kid we went through a number of used cars - Lada, Mazda, even a VW Beetle - and while the Beetle was definitely more of a summer car (heating would

This is why, although I can see my work benefiting from AI tremendously a bit further down the line, I don’t feel like it’s a good use of my time to learn to write prompts right now. Things are changing so fast it feels better to just wait

The cynical view is that it was a management team who knew the conclusions were correct, but also knew the client was on the hook for years of development time and telling them the project was doomed would result in losing profits.

If prisons send a message, who is that message directed at? IMO prisons serve the functions of deterrence and rehabilitation - although not well - but they also serve to keep the public happy. We put criminals in prison to sate the public’s

Here, hotels have deals with booking.com etc that forbid them to post lower rates on their own websites. However, if you call to reserve, you get a discount code. I don’t know if that’s a more global practice or not.

No, it’s just not the bank’s fault. Probably (jurisdictions may differ) the recipient is required to return funds unintentionally sent to them.

The datasets these tools use don’t include any context. There’s no sense of what the images in the data might mean to the viewer, or how they relate to the time and place they were made. I would argue that means the tools will struggle to p
