I hate you so much for the word "overtonussy".

Slather us in steak sauce and serve with a baked fucking potato because we are so cooked.

It's the front-end of the hype cycle. The tech-debt problems will come home to roost in a year or two. The market can remain irrational longer than you can remain solvent.

This is the most VC-pilled possible response to people talking about the difficulties of actually working with LLMs. Who cares about the people who actually have to use this crap, think about what it could mean for Number!

Apparently including a camera-esque filename in prompts for the latest mid journey release can make it more photorealistic. Unfortunately it also looks like the distinctive AI art style was pretty key to preventing the usual set of AI generated image "tells". Mirrors, hands, teeth, etc are all very visibly wrong.

Looks like finger counting is back on the menu, friends!

Talk about ripped from the headlines!

Wasn't that just the plot of The Caves of Steel? Or Robots of Dawn, which combined it with some weird sex thing?

I did a quick scan of the titles just for old time's sake and ran into a very aggressive "oh my God shut up" directed at my younger self as much as at Scooter himself.

So many of the responses pointing out how bad this is for the local communities in Licking County (lol), but I feel like this has to be a case where the bezzle is collapsing more than a decision causing new harm, right? The bubble wasn't sustainable and those jobs were unlikely to manifest past the initial construction, especially since data centers aren't exactly labor-intensive to run.

That doesn't mean it doesn't hurt for those communities, especially in the midst of the economic ruin left in the wake of Hurricane Tarrif, but I feel like there's an important lesson being lost here.

If you don't have to directly interact with the underclass it's almost like you don't have an underclass!

I mean, with the instantly recognizable AI lighting design it would actually take a fair degree of skill to make something look that garbage as an actual tattoo.

The hero we need, but not the one we deserve.

 

I don't have much to add here, but I know when she started writing about the specifics of what Democrats are worried about being targeted for their "political views" my mind immediately jumped to members of my family who are gender non-conforming or trans. Of course, the more specific you get about any of those concerns the easier it is to see that crypto doesn't actually solve the problem and in fact makes it much worse.
