Remember that a significant uptick of young people voted for Trump this time around. It’s not just a boomer problem anymore.

The biggest problem with Cyberpunk 2077’s redemption arc is that they pulled it off, and now a bunch of studios think they can do it too.

I don’t care if they are red or blue, ending unlimited money from corporations and wealthy donors is the only way to save our democracy.

Popular photo and video editing apps like Photoshop, DaVinci Resolve, and Avid Media Composer already support it, alongside Chrome, Safari, and Firefox. Apple’s iOS and macOS also work with the new file standard.

This is all the article mentions. I hope you’re right about the backwards compatibility.

Jesus getting deported from the US despite being a legal citizen but getting his birthright revoked.

Yeah I start at the 5, clockwise.

Oh for sure. But if (for example) an artist can save time by tracing over an SDXL reference image, that is energy-efficient as well as time-efficient, despite most people claiming the contrary.

Not only are they cheaper than AC, but doing the math shows that they are more energy efficient than a human doing the same work, since humans operate at around 80-100W, 24 hours a day. (Assuming that the output is worth anything, of course.)

That’s both the strength and horror of LLMs. They are super good at presenting information in a pleasing way to the user… but can you trust that what it says is correct?

To the majority of humans, a pleasing presentation is treated as evidence of truth, despite that being a logical fallacy.

Not sure if you’re new to this or what, but money buys a shitton of power in the US, and Musk has plenty of money.

Not necessarily, but everyone having access to cheap labor AND raw materials would ensure that.

Now I’m not going to pretend that AI is anywhere close to being a source of cheap labor. It really can’t do much without a human to assist it.

I’m not entirely sure of that. While corporate AI would certainly cause that, right now there are open weights models which can be run on a relatively affordable computer, and they are not that far behind. These models are able to democratize AI benefits rather than concentrate it.

Or shirts apparently

China has a big problem with selling an identical product fifteen times through twelve different companies.

I think it’s an SEO strategy for Amazon, where they edge out any competition by being everywhere on the first page of search results. They also have the ability to game reviews by killing any products that get bad reviews and recreating them under a new brand.

The movie had themes about AI revolution, while the book was around robopsychology. Since this anecdote was about an AI gaslighting itself, it’s far more appropriate than the movie thematically.

Claude eventually resolved its existential crisis by convincing itself the whole episode had been an elaborate April Fool’s joke, which it wasn’t. The AI essentially gaslit itself back to functionality, which is either impressive or deeply concerning, depending on your perspective.

Now THAT’S some I, Robot shit. And I’m not talking about the Will Smith movie, I’m talking about the original book.

If you wear a skirt, your gender disappears.

Pretty sure that’s how it works in a lot of fiction. You draw the circle then activate it by putting in mana.

What, you’ve never written markdown?

Forget monogamy, I just need a mathematical relationship!
