Exactly. Most ads are cringy and rubbish. This concept could easily have been made with real actors and a VFX crew and been equally as shitty. I find people complaining about bad ads odd. Do people want good ads? Do they want to be engaged

So write code. Maybe post renaissance many artists no longer had patrons, but nothing was stopping them from painting. If your industry truely is going in the direction where there's no paid work for you to code (which is unlikely in m

I read these sort of comments every so often and I do not understand them. You are in a sea of people telling you that they are developing software much quicker which ticks the required boxes. I understand that for some reason this isn&#x27

No, they don't. I'm sure you're capable of finding one that suits the context here and reading it yourself.

That's okay. Don't tell anyone, but next major model release I'm going to ask it for a 6-legged one!

Absolutely. I'd prefer to go to the pharmacy and just pay my $20 and go.

Knowledge of all available codecs is certainly not the same tier as basic computer literacy. I agree it doesn't need to be dumbed down to the general user, but we also shouldn't assume everyone here know every technical abbreviati

The parent I was replying to stated a $70k deposit on this, meaning it would take about 25 years, so my early morning maths was a bit off. Even so, that doesn't seem unachievable?

$1700 per month pays off a $350k loan in 17 years, does it not? That's assuming that the household income stays static over that time. That is very reasonable. In Australia, 35 year mortgages are normal, and 25-30 year mortgages were n

The most concerning part is people are surprised. Anti-gravity is great I've found so far, but it's absolutely running on a VM in an isolated VLAN. Why would anyone give a black box command line access on an important machine? Ima

I'm fairly sure all the first three points are true for each new human produced. The environmental cost vs output is probably significantly higher per human, and the population continues to grow. My experience with large companies (esp

It probably depends on your circle. I find those beliefs strange, seems like moral relativism.

Thank you. I would imagine the entire Fortune 500 list passes the line of "evil", drawing that line at AI is weird. I assume it's a mask for fear people have of their industry becoming redundant, rather than a real morality a

I'm not sure I understand this view. Did seamstresses see sewing machines as amoral? Or carpenters with electric and air drills and saws? AI is another set of tooling. It can be used well or not, but arguing the morality of a tooling t

Yeah you're right. I wanted to give them the benefit of the doubt, but the comment history makes it pretty obvious.

Totally fine, my brain just isn't used to processing imperial measurements in the same sentence as metric, so I thought the conversion might help others in the same place!

Or it's just their writing style. There's nothing distinctly AI that I can see in there, and many of the common AI tropes come from commonalities in human writing.

I would argue that most people who had a blog were 15-25 in that time. Yes it was very common in that demo, but outside of it, it was definitely not. I don't know if that classifies as "mainstream".

That is true, but does it actually matter if the outcome is the same? GP is saying they don't need to remind them.

I suspect there is more tech out there. 20 years ago we didn't have smartphones. 10 years ago, 20mbit on mobile was a good connection. Gigabit is common now, infrastructure no longer has the hurdles it used to, AI makes coding and desi
