I want to highlight a comment someone made elsewhere in the thread. > I recently wrote a technical post on my blog where I thought it would be kind of funny to add some genAI of me doing stuff, some people told me they stopped reading im

I am genuinely curious what you mean by this. I mean it sounds obvious you are saying that Indians hate AI art, i'm just curious why that group specifically? (I don't have my finger on the pulse of that nation, i'm afraid)

Lets just put that aside for a minute because right now, in the present, people often can tell. And when they can tell, which is often, it is a net negative choice to use AI art. Which is my point.

Okay but sometimes people despise things and then they go away or get stigma'd into a corner. There is selection bias in that list. But either way, I'm talking about *the present* which is the time we all live in. Opining that in

And to emphasize: I am fully aware that there are people who don't care. Of course there are people who see no issue with it. But there aren't people for whom it is a positive , just those for which it fails to be a negative. It

Note that you don't think its awesome . The best case scenario for someone normal is for them to be totally neutral. To think "its fine." The worst case is they think less of you and anything associated. That is not a worthw

I think I compelled a lot of emotions with a relatively short one here. (Not that I'm one to defend myself generally; this was just something I felt like I was taking crazy pills on because how can folks not see it?) > But maybe I’m

What a fascinating take. Framing it like "they wouldn't care if your jobs went away!" Like wtf? What world is this that you live in?

In this case use of an AI image, if people can clock it (which is super funny people are thinking "well, what if they can't tell!"), is the issue unto itself. There is no using AI image generators _well_ if you care how peopl

Yeah people seem to think that the issue is that the output isn't "high quality enough," which is a super strange misconception about the role of art even in a commercial setting. Like if it just gets "good" in some

(do give the artist more commissions. They need to eat and are on my shortlist for stuff like this. Here's a sexy Jar-Jar Binks/Garfield hybrid they made https://bsky.app/profile/dsoart.com/post/3ml2

In this case the random dinosaur is plot relevant albeit just a placeholder, but maybe i'm not following what they are complaining about?

Yeah so, tech people tend to be in a bubble with regards to AI perception. I implore you to just ask around outside of your immediate sphere. Bring it up, let them talk.

I mean, there is rational justification for why people feel the way they do. It turns into a long tirade about how AI has made the median person's life worse and how they associate generated images with that. It could also be a short t

Author here. It was the first one. (Not to take away from your point - but i will die shameful if anyone thinks I "spent time prompting.")

One of the drawbacks about protocols mentioned in the talk is no longer correct. Protocols can now dispatch on metadata, not just type. (defprotocol Dog :extend-via-metadata true (bark [_]))

The entire US stock market is propped up by big tech companies spending massively on Data Centers and GPUs for AI. OpenAI is valued higher than Netflix. A company that can pull in single digit billions in revenue for hundreds of billions in

It regurgitates the list in text form, which is almost certainly in the training data. But this company is valued more than Netflix. The bar should not be this low.

So I looked up DBT - it seems to be a company where the first thing I saw on their website was "Gen AI." That doesn't inspire confidence in the longevity of their offering - but i'm also unclear exactly what it is they a

So an intrinsic problem with flattening the database is that a lot of applications actually do want to work on a tree of information (that's what the json query part is all about) Dropping a view can work, but not when the system is un
