I know you have a whole narrative going but there's gotta be millions of "make my picture look analog" filters, that was the whole premise of Instagram, you can get specific effects for pictures to look like all kinds of spec

Nobody is going to make money from static site generators. How can a kickstarter still raise money for something claude will give them in 2 hours I have no clue. Not all software engineering is dead, but this is dead for sure. Though I also

You struggle to see how a society which has a system where you put requests from other people ahead of your own healthcare is not equal to one where you take care of yourself? Did you see the examples that those women started actually getti

It's not like the approach they took is any different. Just slapped 8x the number of computers on it for calculating the same thing and wait to see if they disagree. Not the pinnacle of engineering. The equivalent of throwing money at

Well of course in 700 pages you'll be about way more than any super short story as this one. But it's there for me quite vividly. Of course LLMs give an amalgamation of many things, but it's like when you look at AI generated

Time doesn't mean much, what is important is what they did in this 24h. If all they did was talk about it then it could be 1000 years and it wouldn't matter. What are the safety checks in place? Do they have a honey pot infrastruc

Again, that is a problem of approach, not of compute. Compute just makes that faster, it doesn't make it possible. It's like you saying the only way to do something is with threads. It's good for some use cases, bad for other

Yes but you cannot make up more than about 10-15 examples everyone will agree with, seeing as those are subsidized in practically every country on earth, and then apply the thinking the guy above you gives for everything else. In my opinion

Those extreme takes are taken mostly for clicks or are exaggerated second hand so the "other side's" opinion is dumber than it is to "slam the naysayers". Most people are meh about everything, not on the extremes, s

There's no way a popular show like that needs money, they were probably millionaires already with sponsorships. Why are we pretending these people are poor or need help to survive?
