I wholly disagree with your post. By your definition, any logic gate could be considered an 'AI'. You're stretching the term to the point that it no longer holds any meaning.

It's not just his definition. Many AI courses will teach you pathfinding algorithms as examples of AI, along with optimisation algorithms, genetic algorithms and neutral nets. There is a valuable distinction in hard AI vs soft AI (hard AI being that whole thinking, emotional maschines thing that we are not really getting closer to, and soft AI being the things that actually generate money because we know how to do th…

The distinction you are drawing is between Strong and Weak AI. Weak AI is any sort of useful application of computation. Strong AI is solving the AGI (Artificial General Intelligence) problem.

> I've been a designer for 12 years or so... I would get frustrated designing logos for small businesses because (a) it was so time-consuming to create 30 mockups, (b) it would take weeks to do those small back-and-forths, and (c) the logo would end up being so simple that I felt like that entire process was a waste... As soon as I had the idea ... I started working on it. I think this is my favorite part of the stor…

This tool is pretty good! (This from an inexpert small business person, with no design sense -- but still, that describes a lot of potential users.) I've been on the other side of the annoying design client experience, playing the role of annoying client. My old law partners and I asked a design firm to do an identity for us, some 7 years ago now. They spent a LOT of time with us, presented numerous concepts, and eve…

May I ask what does MOO stand for in your comment?

Hey guys - Dawson here (founder) let me know if you have any questions about Logojoy / the story.

So I tried it. It seems like almost anything is going to require designer interaction. The logo I ended up with has such low contrast with the background I would be embarrassed to even present it as a mockup, much less treat it like final product. I couldn't get logos in containers, which seems obvious, and very simple to do from what you're already doing. The color picker is suuuuper dumbed down, it'd be nice to see some true color palette options in the vein of Coolors (many other examples exist but that one is representative of what is doable pretty easily and light years better than picking shades of yellow). I could imagine giving this to someone and having them play with it for 30 minutes to get an idea of what they like, but right now unless they want a company name in a single color format (and even then many color options have no legible results) you aren't going to finish anything there.

Do you plan to allow editing the stroke color independent of the background? This is the most immediately problematic issue for me, because it means I cannot get a high contrast logo in any light color. Maybe I missed a way to do this?

hey Dawson - would love if you could go into more technical depth on how things work. Cool product!

Absolutely. I talk a lot about the tech in the IH article, but I'll re-iterate here with as little jargon as possible, focusing on the machine learning part, as I assume that's what you're more interested in. The logo generating algorithm is still in its infancy, so right now it's mostly acting as an idea source for most users. So our logos are just combinations of ingredients — fonts, colors, layouts, symbols, etc.…

..know anyy good ML tutorials? this all sounds very interesting.

But if the host traffic is compromised you can serve malicious payment gateways/forms.

If the host is compromised HTTPS isn't going to save you.

it will if it's the host /traffic/ that is compromised

Semi-related but wow: /app.php -- hadn't seen that in a while. It's like bumping into an old friend in the street.

You've probably bumped into that friend many times in the street on an almost daily basis without noticing it.. It's just that most sites/frameworks that use PHP use some kind of rewriting so the ".php" isn't visible (CodeIgniter/Wordpress and many others do this automatically).

Oh yeah true I forgot about that... of course.
