    AI design isn't even good from what I have tried. The dot com bubble was a financial bubble. We are in something more like an AI mass delusion.

    It was so much more hyped than that. They made it sound like Hollywood was in big trouble. It is going to have the same problems as Midjourney. You just don't have that much contro…

    You obviously never actually used Sora. These are hand selected from thousands of prompts. The person who doesn't use these tools thinks that you prompt the video like you are Scor…

    No, the average person just doesn't have a creative bone in their body. They will be impressed when they get Super Hero movie #1899 but this time by AI , woo hoo! Now that will be …

    You obviously have never actually tried to make anything in AI video. It is a parlor trick.Maybe this is a big advance but the current state of AI video is a joke. It is only impre…

    It is not even just the errors. These video models are really impressive as long as you don't actually have something in your head you want to make. Then the laughable limitations …

    To me, it really depends if the post is a well reasoned criticism with something unique to add to the conversation or the standard, completely pointless, anti-AI rant that I have a…

    From Nassim Taleb "Unless you have confidence in the ruler’s reliability, if you use a ruler to measure a table you may also be using the table to measure the ruler." Seems like th…

    This all depends on how you define "better". I am an amateur programmer and tried to port a python 2.7 library to python 3 with GPT5 a few weeks ago. After a few tries, I realized …

    It is so outrageous to value Tiktok USA at $14 billion. Forget Meta's market cap, does anyone think Zuckerberg wouldn't have paid 20 billion for Tiktok USA ? Just so corrupt and to…

    It is great but of course people are going to shit on it because what fun would it be without being negative.

    I completely agree but most people aren't that interested in some kind of socratic online dialogue. I don't expect to learn much at all from internet discussion at this point. It s…

    I used mine everyday for about 2 months but eventually reached the boredom stage. There is just shockingly so little going on in VR. There is also the issue that it is like a drug …

    I have never heard of this but cannabis has a powerful effect on ghrelin. It wouldn't be shocking that at extreme use ghrelin stops acting without stimulation from cannabis. The pr…

    I have never found a study that supports this. The research is pretty clear this is from ghrelin stimulating appetite and at the same time altering levels of leptin so a person fee…

    Exactly. The problem is the students and parents. It would not matter what school you sent me to, I did not care about learning or intellectual pursuits when I was 15. I would have…

    I went into the office for the first time 2 months ago. The worst part was how massively distracting it was. The people who like going into the office at my work, go in to socializ…

    What is even the point in having this argument? At this point, one is gaining with each model release or they are not. Lets see in 2035 who was right and who was wrong. My bet is t…

    You obviously have absolutely no idea what you are talking about when it comes to music. Coltrane is so respected because he use to fall asleep with his saxophone in his mouth beca…

    I would love this. From day 1 with 3.5 I have always assumed something like this was inevitable. I imagine if we get to a place that jobs are requesting LLM certifications from Ope…

    You say this as if humans do not collude all the time. The pejorative idea of a "Conspiracy theory" is such a great modern tool for those who want to collude to hide their collusio…

    I do wonder if this is really the same type of alienation that Arendt refers to. I can understand how if you are afraid the neighbor is going to be an informant, you stop interacti…

    I am certain it has much to do with being in the training data or not. I have loved GPT5 but the other day I was trying to implement a rather novel idea that would be a rather smal…
