Same. I think there's a lot of AI prejudice influencing people's opinions on AI output. I wonder what would happen in a study where some art is critiqued by one group that is informed that the art was created by AI and another gro

I found the OP AI videos much more entertaining than this camcorder silliness. It was interesting to see how literal the AI interpreted the lyrics, but then sometimes took the liberty to add clips of synchronized dance moves which actually

Well, rational or not, anybody that put a significant life savings into early TSLA and kept it there is retirement money rich now. Lots of rational people kept shorting, thinking sanity would prevail, and ended up losing bigly.

The "not really" aspect is so significant that it's barely a joke. It's more serious and thought provoking than a simple joke. I guess that's how good satire works. This in particular I found quite interesting: &quo

The text seems like it's there as a basic low effort placeholder. Maybe it's still a one person project and they don't want to spend their time crafting reasonable marketing fluff pages, so they relied on an LLM to generate t

Quake III Arena was pretty entertaining. Doesn't seem like it came from a company that had been ruined for years. I definitely noticed something around the Doom 3 release many years after Quake III Arena. The new game just didn't

Yup. Most people are going to say "I have nothing to hide" and go with the flow. The ones who don't are signalling that perhaps they do have something to hide.

Also using codex as a full time partner these days. What do you think happens in a year or so that changes the way it works around the tools? It becomes the only tool we interact with, and it assumes control over the others?

Also... The US' limitations in its ability to project power have been exposed. Having American bases in the middle east has been shown to be nothing but a liability for host countries. And Iran has proven that it can withstand anything

That example flowed well and didn't stand out to me. But what happens when you no longer feel that you have a decent chance of being able to determine that something might have been created with LLM assistance? Do you not mind because

Chasing a bird of lesser intelligence so that it slams into an office building window seems especially cruel.

Human created music might have value to them, but it doesn't mean that the AI song was valueless. They admit they enjoyed it. So it doesn't make sense in terms of it not having value. I wouldn't say it's asinine though.

Why would you be adamantly against solar? That sounds like someone who is of the opinion that solar is NEVER a good idea. Nonsense.

And TSLA isn't worth it's current market cap of 1.47 trillion dollars either. Hasn't been of any consequence for years.

I get your point, but prayer can be akin visualization and practiced focus, which can indeed have an effect on one's life. Then there's the type of prayer where you straight up beg for things from FSM for five seconds and move on

How do you know it was AI generated? Didn't see any reason to assume so, and I enjoyed it, plus it introduced me to this apparently great author. So, AI generated or not, I'm glad it was posted.
