that's exactly what we're building with Control! https://twitter.com/sualehasif996/status/1635757961984221185
Any chance me, a lowly OSS Developer and Twitch Streamer of the Small Variety, could acquire access early? I would love to try using it for things like writing Mods for Games and such.

I remember it being vastly overhyped about how artists were now obsolete, but it really hasn't happened. People have quickly became very attuned to the "AI art style"--humans are excellent at pattern recognition, after all--and if anything, it's made people appreciate how important an artists' individual style and attention to detail is.
People don’t make art for money (mostly) People do write code for money (mostly) See the difference? How would you feel if developers earned as much as artists do?
Remember the comments about artists and creatives when DALL-E came out? I remember.

I think we'll all get more productive is all. There's a lot of projects that just weren't economical but now may become so. The bigger disruption will occur when Google, Facebook, Twitter, Reddit etc become useless from all the AI spam that's sure to overwhelm it all.
But here's the question. If these tools make existing devs 10x more productive, why bother hiring new people in the field?
Could it write an ORM library?
I'm waiting for copilot that has access to something like language server and instead of just suggesting immediate completions and using open tabs for context it can use LS to pull references for context, suggest file creation, adding code in non trivial places. Then add a chat interface on top. Suddenly I'm really 10x - I would pay hundreds of dollars per month for this if it worked well - it would let me handle at…
>it would let me handle at least two or three IC jobs At that point you'll need to have at least two or three IC jobs just to survive, because wages will plummet.

There might be some companies or departments that don't need to evolve anymore, and they cut people. That happens already; the product gets finished, so they lay people off. But those people find new jobs.

I'm fine with programmers being a less needed skillset, but most artists were not making any money. The vast vast majority were the proverbial starving artists getting pennies for commissions, fighting for some form of respect for generations. Completely segregated from the idea of a market based economy, completely unwilling to do anything that people actually value, completely unwilling to move away from "disciplin…
How do you feel about NFTs
the collectibles market always was able to benefit from transparent supplies, transparent volume. NFT's added that and people acted surprised that the collectibles market was that big, when in reality nobody knows how many baseball cards (for example) were issued, how many rare ones are really out there and more. the analog collectibles market has wash trading too.
if NFT purchasers can remove the parasocial relationships they rely on with the creators and just build their own communities for resales then it'll be fine.
