I’m no English major, but I’m pretty sure @[email protected] calling it weird is a rhetorical device known as sarcasm.

Be very careful wheb defederating

If they mean AI upscaling, where you take a low resolution image then generate a higher resolution one then sure.

But it will be a while before they have full AI rendering, if ever. AI generation isn’t super precise when it comes to details and for games precision usually matters a lot unless it’s like a narrative game. You probably can’t use an arbitrary but close color for an enemy for example or have health bars look close enough.

Regardless of your intent, the context in which you make a statement matters. You were wondering why people were down voting you so I’m just letting you know. You don’t have to like it but that’s the way it is.

I get being frustrated at people misunderstanding you, happens to everyone, just don’t stress over the imaginary Internet points.

It’s irrelevant to the overall point and comes across as a defense of Musk by attacking an irrelevant piece of semantics.

For example if people are arguing about pineapple on pizza and you say “pineapple is food so it’s ok on pizza” it’s not addressing the actual arguments being made.

Whatever you want to call it, it’s inherently dishonest to take credit for skills you don’t have and achievements you didn’t earn.

oh no, now they nkow I’m in the US North East, assuming I’m not using a VPN…

Yeah, depends on the tea too. I have some teas that are done after 3-4 steeps, and some that just never end.

At some point you need to admit you’re just drinking brown water and not tea anymore.

For when you actually want 10 tiny cups of tea.

Do you not add gelatin to your water before making tea?

So give it a quick stir? Also if it’s at a boil, the bubbles are going to mix the fluid well.

He did more labor for that 50k than someone like Musk did for their next 50k

But AI is so useful for laundering racism, sexism, and IP theft with plausible deniability.

I don’t even hide it. I keep iterating back and forth between running TTRPG games and writing short stories. I do think I’ve started to hit something more satisfying with using a looser system (plug for https://lemmy.world/c/owboybeboprpg devoted to a fairly dead TTRPG that I probably only like because I haven’t done enough research into more popular TTRPG systems)

For me, it was this cycle where I would just get kind of exhausted at the writing process, outlining, writing, editing, and then feeling a bit dejected when its never quite as good as you remembered, then when I DMed tabletop games, it felt like I wanted more control to ideate high level visions for the narrative. They both scratch different itches in the creative process, and sometimes its nice to just switch up the itch.

Damn, even with inflation? You must be super on guard. That being said. I will turn on my A game to shave $0.50 off of a set of coasters from a tourist shop while on vacation.

In terms of practical commercial uses, these highly human in the loop systems are about where it is and there are practical applications and products build off of it. I think what was sold though is a much more of either a replacement of people or a significant jump in functionality.

For example, there are products that will give you an AI summary of a structured or fairly uniform document like a generic press release, but there’s not really a good replacement for something to read backgrounds on 50 different companies and figure out which one you should invest in without a human basically doing all of that work themselves anyway just to check the work of the AI. The latter is what is being sold to make the enormous cost of hosting and training AI worth it.

This is awesome, and done by some really talented kids who are clearly smart motivated and willing to put in the work to get this project out the door.

Now imagine if the resources to do this kind of work as well as the background education and things like food security and economic stability were given to kids outside of an exclusive private boarding school? We’d empower some of the most imaginative of us to accomplish so many more amazing things.

The issue is AI is just too broad of a term. It’s also not a magic bullet and comes with its own problems so it’s not even the best tool for the job many times.
