If that is the case, I seriously doubt the blame would ever touch the people that oversold this shit.

It wasn’t even all that long ago. I noticed around the time ChatGPT 3.5 was released I saw a significant change in tone regarding LLMs and diffusion models. I think that’s when som…

But the problem with LLMs is that they get the facts wrong. PhDs are PhDs because they’d look it up in an authoritative source, or actually find out through research and experiment…

The fact that some people get genuine value from LLMs when learning doesn’t contradict the fact that they’re Dunning-Krueger “expertise” generators. The fact that the person learni…

Yeah. People with technical and/or tech business bonafides claiming that AI granted them expertise are so often taken at face value when they really shouldn’t be. Who told them tha…

As are mass hysteria dynamics.

Hyphenation isn’t the best for readability, which is especially important with moving text. (That’s also why there was so much leading, so it would be easy to see which line contin…

> they write every blog post and README like they're writing the opening titles for Blade Runner. As told through a Reddit post.

More like sects of a major religion. Or, a minor and incredibly expensive religion, in this case.

While what you’re seeing is almost certainly a compression artifact or digitization difficulty (keep in mind, theater screens were the target media,) it was almost certainly a prod…

Yeah, I was gonna say that. The proportions are pretty different. Though I rarely use them inline… I’ve used them in a few logos when the uniformity of the letterforms just clicked…

Nope. It might improve readability for individual words, but for blocks of code with similar features at irregular lengths, uniform kerning provides structure and a bunch of clean …

Same reason some think preserving the environment is pointless because the believers will ascend to heaven, either way. It’s a religion. It’s dogmatic nihilism.

Now imagine it’s that, plus, it torpedoed a career change that involved graduating from art school in 2024 because it fucked the entry-level creative job market. Definitely not hav…

I’ll bet you haven’t had to look for a job in a really long time.

Complete amateurs without these tools were basically limited to making big text in word processors and maybe pasting an image in there. Being able to create a basically coherent, p…

I think the Dunning-Kreuger effect is more pernicious in smart people. I think Engineer’s Disease is basically DK by another name.

As a performance maybe? Frankly I don’t give a flying fuck about how those rich kids entertain themselves. It’s like a jobs program for creative kids from big moneyed families. It …

I’m already an industrial tradesman, toughguy. People in the software world are soon going to feel pretty stupid about being that smug to people who had to switch careers because c…

And photography is something where the image determines whether or not it’s art. If you are constructing an image using form, shape, light, subjects, tool selection, and all sorts …

Nope. At best, they are like commissioning work from a computer. When you commission a piece, especially as an art director, you often have lengthy conversations, exchange sketches…

And reprogram all of the keys to do the things they already do so I can wind up with the same exact functionality I had before, only with more steps? Probably not. I’m using a calc…
