You'd be absolutely nuts to think you'll ever get a rate better than 1.9% average over 30 years. I am deeply envious!

Wait, we are in the aftermath of a recession? From where I am standing we are in the thick of it with a long road ahead of very uncomfortable economic pressures restricting personal upward mobility. What person is looking at a 20% increase

Art isn't about skilfully painting a tree. That's artistry. Art is more than that, it's about feeling, evoking thoughts, and yeah, commenting on society. > It's always trite, reductive, and utterly unoriginal. This is

If it were at all possible I'd give Bob a 4 day week, let him work on personal R&D stuff, or promote him to a level where he can use his competence to solve bigger problems. If there are no more challenging problems to work on it&#

Being that Brave and numerous other browsers are built on Chrome, does that mean they will also have this limitation?

Erm, free movement of goods and services, labour, capital. Access to the world's largest single market with no restrictions which by itself allows more UK businesses to thrive. Huge benefit to being able to choose from numerous places

When we put in place stuff like this to "think of the children", we tend to neglect what those children will inherit from this legislation. Every year the future for the next generation looks more and more bleak. No wonder depress

I imagine Netflix gathers a lot of viewing data, and I can see a time when ads make it into the streaming platforms natively. Cable TV started out as an ad-free offering, and now it's almost 50% ads.

To be rolled back when the people elect based on short-term economic change. The US is so corrupt, so in the pockets of industry I honestly have little confidence in this bill being in good faith toward climate action. * https://

This outlook of apathy is why we are screwed. Let's focus on inflation because the world falling apart is inevitable? Inflation is going to be the least of your worries when you are too hot, too cold, hungry, etc. The impact of climate

Meanwhile the west's governments are prioritizing short-term inflation curbing rather than addressing climate change in their campaigns. We are all screwed.

Their research showed that Dall-E had most success with real world stuff it had been trained on. Is this surprising? I mean, if I didn't know much about iguanas I'd also have a hard time representing them.

How is this any different to working with a human artist? If I wanted the real world Salvador Dali to draw me a picture of a kebab being eaten by a badger I'd have to tell him that's what I want. I'd also need to educate baby

You are talking about today. Tomorrow will see comic books written, and illustrated on demand from a natural language conversation, then what?

Never said "you are going to be unemployed in 5 years". Never said anything about a job apocalypse. I have no idea what role humans will play. > Your assertions are full of wild assumptions backed by nothing. I use Copilot, you

Existential threats tend to drive religious sentiment. To say this revolution is not going to happen is to say humans have hit a hard technological limit, and I don't see any evidence to support that. If I was less enthused I might mak

I am hoping for the Manna situation. Dude on YouTube was talking to GPT3 and it expressed that humans would love, and AI would reason. I fell into a state of peace and hopefulness with that sentiment. AI does the work because it is good at

Eventually art for the people will become art for the individual. Our AI partner (I assume we will all have one) will serve up an entirely curated world. Art will be generated on the spot, just for you. Entertainment, just for you. Imagine

Train Dall-E on more logos that you like. I can imagine a creative agency purchasing a Dall-E 2 instance and training it up on a model specific to the work and clients they have ongoing. If nothing else, inspiration is just a click away. No

When AI reaches the point where we can talk to a system like DALL.E in real time and work with it to solve a problem, it's game over. Art will become a commodity. Human art and ai art will be indistinguishable, "artists" will

Wait, what? You'd need hundreds of thousands of "small ponds" in the woods to approximate a comparison with a human mega reservoir like Lake Mead and associated reservoirs. I don't really understand the comparison.

Can't you more simply not give the fridge your wifi password? Just keep it off of a network, seems much easier than opening it up and voiding a warranty.

COVID was mindblowing. For the first time in recorded history the entire planet coordinated a response to an existential threat. And we survived. In a matter of just three years we rethought how we work, live, travel, and socialize. The glo
