Anecdotally I have not seen consistency in quality at all.

I don’t love the original idea because uploading identification is risky. You could just plug AI into a verified account but at least the vector is a single account instead of unbounded.

You could pay another $10 (or maybe $15?) to change someone else's avatar.

Honestly the $10 barrier to SomethingAwful back in the day (and I guess now since it’s still around) definitely made a huge difference. I hate the idea of subscribing to a site like HN or Reddit… but one time $10 to post? I’d accept that if

The individual details, probably not. But the high level/broad strokes I definitely remember 6+ months later.

That’s true. I think it’s more of a problem of getting someone in the door. Anecdotally going to art festivals I’m much more likely to enter the booth of someone who has handcrafted marketing over the person who has generated marketing.

I think this is where I see the benefit for small business. I don’t want to speak for you, but I imagine it’s either “no voice over, we can’t afford it.” or “inexpensive AI voice over to make it more accessible and appealing.” My thought is

Yeah if/when it becomes indistinguishable I think most people won’t care. That being said I do think someone finding out something is AI generated will be met with poor response. Does that ultimately matter? Probably not in a business

Yeah that’s a good point. I don’t think that’s what I meant by “at scale” but I can see that being useful day to day.

True! Though I’d argue diagrams as code like PlantUML or Mermaid are better than an image!

Those industries (computers, robots) created other jobs though. This doesn’t seem to.

Isn’t that what photographers are for?

All things traditionally done by artists or artist adjacent roles. I can understand at an individual level, say for a solo gamedev who wasn’t going to pay an artist anyway. That’s not at scale though. Larian Studios most recently was under

I think this tech is cool, from an engineering perspective. I’m trying to figure out if there’s any justification for using it in a business world outside of: “We don’t want to pay an artist.” You can argue things like code generation are a

Yeah I’d started doing this already. Put up my own Gitea on my own private network, remote backups setup. Right now everything stays in my Forge, eventually I may mirror it elsewhere but I’m not sure.

Those sites typically end with “talk to your doctor”. There’s many creators out there whose entire platform is “Your doctor won’t tell you this!”. I trust the NHS, older CDC pages, Mayo clinic as platforms, more than I will ever trust youtu

I kind of thought this video was going to be about Flatland the book but it was even better. This is a fantastic and easily digestible explanation of ray tracing.

This is great. I do wonder if eventually we’ll see brand names return. I basically only order things that I don’t care about quality with now. It feels like Temu.

I agree its not a big deal. Unauthenticated APIs are nice though, especially for someone who's maybe not as familiar with how APIs work.

Do you have a link to that?

I find its tricky with games, especially ones as updated as frequently as Minecraft over the years. I've had some of this trouble with OSRS. It brings in old info, or info from a League/Event that isn't relevant. Easier to ju

I saw one recently that was cool. Basically a cinematic for Arthas’ purging of Stratholme from WarCraft. However the entire time I was just thinking “oh that’s cool, looks alright” but none of the “wow the artist that did Uther’s model nail

There's no doubt that generally LLMs are better. In addition SO had its issues. That being said I can't help but worry about losing humans asking questions and humans answering questions. The sentimentality aside, if humans aren&#
