I just looked up Kurzweil a few days ago to see where he was at on prophecies of the Singularity. Apparently we’ve got ‘til 2040 to enjoy our meat bodies.

Cool keyboards tho
Alberto Carvalho, the current head of L.A. Unified, is a piece of shit who was imported from Miami. I’m glad he ended up with egg on his face

Even loveable paranoic Douglas Rushkoff thinks “AI” is snake oil bullshit

Kurzweil is a big credulous dickhead.

Kurzweil says some things that seem plausible and some that seem way too optimistic. Its a mix of useful and garbage.

Sora’s current output and its inevitable evolution in the next year makes me very worried for people in the VFX, animation, and gaming fields

until you can actually give it notes dont think theres much to worry about except maybe on the extreme low end

I’m not so sure. Based on stuff like this, we’re probably a year away from creating approximations of the original cuts of The Red Badge of Courage and The Magnificent Ambersons

AI fans crossing over with people who never read another book after Harry Potter seems appropriate.

AI can now create images via reading your brain

most of this ai generated video will probably be an extension of the terrible stories we've all become accusmtoed to via cgi movies - with the exception of Breen of course

i dunno, this is pretty impressive if you ask me
This is pretty stunning AI spaghetti art...Like modern/abstract art, AI art will be a thing, and creative pieces will be displayed in museums.I can't wait for AI song to win a Grammy pic.twitter.com/n6vIjlMtEa— Bindu Reddy (@bindureddy) July 2, 2024

sorry, but the spaghetti didn't have the right number of fingers so i'm going to completely dismiss it
― z_tbd, Friday, 5 July 2024 16:58 (two hours ago) link
but does it display the right number of spaghetti strands? can AI finally demonstrate spaghetti-permanence?
― 龜, Friday, 5 July 2024 17:00 (one hour ago) link
the underneath spaghetti person morphs briefly into a rigatoni. ai can't do anything the way you want it

I've seen that one alongside the human dancers they're duplicating, which makes it less impressive imho.
― Andrew Farrell, Friday, 5 July 2024 18:09 (fifty minutes ago) link
a lot of ai is impressive but ive yet to see anything good, tho i think the bigger problem for people who want to use it is you just dont have enough control over the output
― lag∞n, Friday, 5 July 2024 18:12 (forty-six minutes ago) link
who cares about control over the output, it's a pair of dancing spaghettis :)

capital may be flowing in vast quantities and energy consumed in equally vast quantities in the direction of generative AI, but if we get a minute of dancing spaghetti video out of it, it's a win!
