    Home Sports is a collection of five sports that includes amazing AR pickleball and badminton, and a pretty good AR mini-golf. So I would recommend starting with it. But it does nee…

    I get that there needed to be tradeoffs, I just disagree with this particular one. I could suggest many other ways to save ten bucks in hardware costs. Any other cost saving measur…

    Such a miss not having good full-color AR included. I’m a VR enthusiast with a Meta Quest 3, and it’s a shame that this headset is better than the Quest in every way except the mos…

    Glad that you used this exact example! This guy doesn’t have a photorealistic memory. At least it’s far from as good as it’s claimed to be. He’s an artist proficient in a particula…

    I mean - it's either similar or it's not. Things I see with my eyes are definetely photo-realistic. So mental visualisations similar to that would also be photo-realistic. If they'…

    Speaking of the Apple test, as many other commenters here I truly believe that people who describe themselves as being at 1 are actually much closer to 4, they just aren’t aware of…

    When you're standing in front of a mirror, can you ask yourself a question and then answer it without saying anything out loud?

    There's a guy who is a genius at creating Reface DX patches, and he uploads them all for free on SoundMondo. I recommend everyone checking this video to see how wonderful Reface DX…

    I was really pro open internet. I remember the old internet and feel nostalgia about it that probably won't ever completely fade. I am Ukrainian, and when some years ago my governm…

    I have several artistic lives. My first one was in graphic design. I've studied it in college and done it professionally for many years. At first it was fascinating and artisticall…

    I am not happy or unhappy about it. I just don't have a moral problem with it. I did the same thing to get into the logo industry. In the process of learning I've analysed hundreds…

    When we get to $0 for any possible artwork of any quality - yeah, it's game over for everyone, the end of the industry. Right now we are far from it, thankfully. AI still can't pro…

    This is a hundredth time in history when technology progressed and artists had to learn new ways to make money. I've learned art in art school - none of the jobs that my art teache…

    I am a graphic artist. In the recent months I've read dozens of articles and threads like this. I still can't see what the big deal is. Graphic artists don't have trade secrets or …

    Autocomplete in Gmail has been getting more and more robust. At first it only suggested grammatical correction in words. Later it started giving advice on better sentence structure…

    I sell logos and vector illustrations. I have tons of pre-made ones in my portfolio. If someone likes one of my logos for their business - they can just buy it outright. They don't…

    Many services like that already exist - at this moment they are using stock images. Once AI generated images become as good and predictable as stock images - I have no doubt that t…

    I am a guy who does those kinds of Fiverr commissions. Not the $10 ones, but plenty of $50-100 dollars ones. I have a lot of thoughts and concerns about the impact of Dalle-2 on vi…

    Why is it still closed for users in Ukraine? Are there many other countries excluded, or are we the only unlucky ones?

    Yes, Dall-e 2 is definitely much better at it than other current AI services. But, most people still don't have access to it. Like me for example. I've been in the waitlist from th…
