AI design isn't even good from what I have tried. The dot com bubble was a financial bubble. We are in something more like an AI mass delusion.

It was so much more hyped than that. They made it sound like Hollywood was in big trouble. It is going to have the same problems as Midjourney. You just don't have that much control of the scene. The process is to make thousands of ra

You obviously never actually used Sora. These are hand selected from thousands of prompts. The person who doesn't use these tools thinks that you prompt the video like you are Scorsese directing a film. That is exactly what AI video is

No, the average person just doesn't have a creative bone in their body. They will be impressed when they get Super Hero movie #1899 but this time by AI , woo hoo! Now that will be progress!

You obviously have never actually tried to make anything in AI video. It is a parlor trick.Maybe this is a big advance but the current state of AI video is a joke. It is only impressive if you don't actually make anything. It is impre

It is not even just the errors. These video models are really impressive as long as you don't actually have something in your head you want to make. Then the laughable limitations are on full display. I will believe it when I see becau

To me, it really depends if the post is a well reasoned criticism with something unique to add to the conversation or the standard, completely pointless, anti-AI rant that I have already read a 1000 times.

From Nassim Taleb "Unless you have confidence in the ruler’s reliability, if you use a ruler to measure a table you may also be using the table to measure the ruler." Seems like that is exactly what we are doing.

This all depends on how you define "better". I am an amateur programmer and tried to port a python 2.7 library to python 3 with GPT5 a few weeks ago. After a few tries, I realized both myself and the model missed that a large part

It is so outrageous to value Tiktok USA at $14 billion. Forget Meta's market cap, does anyone think Zuckerberg wouldn't have paid 20 billion for Tiktok USA ? Just so corrupt and to even call it a sweetheart deal is outrageous. I t

It is great but of course people are going to shit on it because what fun would it be without being negative.

I completely agree but most people aren't that interested in some kind of socratic online dialogue. I don't expect to learn much at all from internet discussion at this point. It serves a minimal socialization purpose and then my

I used mine everyday for about 2 months but eventually reached the boredom stage. There is just shockingly so little going on in VR. There is also the issue that it is like a drug that the first few times are so mind blowing but your tolera

I have never heard of this but cannabis has a powerful effect on ghrelin. It wouldn't be shocking that at extreme use ghrelin stops acting without stimulation from cannabis. The problem with discussion on these things is everything is

I have never found a study that supports this. The research is pretty clear this is from ghrelin stimulating appetite and at the same time altering levels of leptin so a person feels less full. It is not from a blood sugar crash. While some

Exactly. The problem is the students and parents. It would not matter what school you sent me to, I did not care about learning or intellectual pursuits when I was 15. I would have had to be raised by completely different parents with diffe

I went into the office for the first time 2 months ago. The worst part was how massively distracting it was. The people who like going into the office at my work, go in to socialize. They are bored at home. It literally has nothing to do wi

What is even the point in having this argument? At this point, one is gaining with each model release or they are not. Lets see in 2035 who was right and who was wrong. My bet is the people who are not gaining right now are not going to lik

You obviously have absolutely no idea what you are talking about when it comes to music. Coltrane is so respected because he use to fall asleep with his saxophone in his mouth because that is the level he would practice. He represents the u

I would love this. From day 1 with 3.5 I have always assumed something like this was inevitable. I imagine if we get to a place that jobs are requesting LLM certifications from OpenAI, it would almost be an absurdity to not be linked to yo

You say this as if humans do not collude all the time. The pejorative idea of a "Conspiracy theory" is such a great modern tool for those who want to collude to hide their collusion in plain view. Somehow it has become a heuristic

I do wonder if this is really the same type of alienation that Arendt refers to. I can understand how if you are afraid the neighbor is going to be an informant, you stop interacting. Public discourse breaks down and ideology takes hold. Th

I am certain it has much to do with being in the training data or not. I have loved GPT5 but the other day I was trying to implement a rather novel idea that would be a rather small function and GPT5 goes from a genius to an idiot. I think

The problem is the video models are only impressive in news stories about the video models. When you actually try to use them you can see how the marketing is playing to people's imagination because they are such a massive disappointme

Taste isn't static over time either. My favorite thing is to rediscover something I thought in the past was terrible only to now find I love it.

No rap before Hamilton is under exposure to NYC boom bap. Lin-Manuel Miranda is quite good but I am sure he wouldn't put himself on the level of Big Pun or Nas. Miles Davis - Kind of Blue is the best selling jazz album of all time but

30 years ago only 4000 people went. Burning Man is fine, the problem is I have jumped the shark and got too old and boring.

The powerball lottery is the greatest investment you can make also if you happen to win. You have no point.

I agree on the astounding nature of AI but there is also an astounding nature to valuations across the market right now. WMT is a better example than NVDA.
