#192i'd love to watch its rendering of any of the recent big budget sci-fi productions

#193Top of HN and people are loving it, but there's got to be a better way of getting some $$ rewards for fun viral ideas like this than "Buy me a coffee". I'm betting he's got tens of thousands of sessions currently and nobody is tipping. https://ko-fi.com/magnushambleton Is there a better way? Asking for myself, also.
> Is there a better way? Yes, UBI. Then you can create what you want and your livelihood doesn't depend on it going viral.
what does UBI have to do with getting paid for making cool shit?

You can make cool shit without having to do the work of productizing and monetizing it

#196This filter seems to also change some architectural details and features, as well as degrade the quality of some materials in an unrealistic way.
It's GenAI. It does something that's kind of like what you asked it to do, but it will skip some details or add other ones or whatever. Dreary architectural pictures will be more likely to have electrical boxes, poor materials, etc, so when it moves the buildings from the latent space for cheery bright architectural renderings to dreary wet November architectural renderings, it will be more likely to add some of thos…
I have a suspicion that the author of this might have asked the model for those utility boxes.

Seems fairly simple to me: stop with the naked concrete and brutalist architecture. Old houses before that trend tend to look way nicer regardless of weather. (I'm not an expert on exact architectural style names, so I can't be more exact that that.)
Architects aren't generally brutalists themselves, but rather, brutalist architecture proposals win contracts because their TCO is lower. Facades have maintenance costs; bare concrete just requires power-washing now and then.
Well, it's even cheaper if you skip the wash and let it become completely drab and awful.
