People want $200k optics, but will settle for an AI, where they wouldn't settle for an iPhone? What?
You don't need photons to paint with pixels. But if you're using photons, good gear is very costly.

You can emulate optics in software without using AI

#53I'm on the image and video side of AI. I see the claims being levied against LLMs, but in the generative media world these models are nothing short of revolutionary. In addition to being an engineer, I'm also a filmmaker. This tech has so many orders of magnitude changes to the production cycle: - Films can be made 5,000x cheaper (a $100M Disney film will be matched by small studios on budgets of $20,000.) - Films ca…
Why would I prefer a film that was generated by you pressing a button over a film that was generated by me pressing the same button?
These aren't prompted end-to-end. There's a tremendous amount of work being done.
For end-to-end, go to Show Runner AI. Or look up SpongeBob AI on YouTube.

> Stop insulting us and show some f*king proof, or go back to playing with LLMs until you can make them do the things you claim they can do. Everything revolving around these LLMs so far as been tech hype culture and similar "think of the future" vibes. IMO we never see proof of this because right now it simply doesn't exist.
>Everything revolving around these LLMs so far as been tech hype culture... compare with a headline from today: >OpenAI’s ChatGPT to hit 700 million weekly users, up 4x from last year I don't think there was much that hype when ChatGPT launched. Just an awful lot of people using it because it's kind of cool. The critics seem to do a certain amount of goal post moving, like saying it's doing well by having unprecedent…
I would argue companies performing layoffs because they think LLMs can do the work of a human is practically the same thing. There was even another article posted here today saying a bunch of companies are hiring humans again to fix the terrible work LLMs are doing, so it's fair to assume C-level jerks do think LLMs can produce something to the level of novel research and are finding out LLMs can't.

Sounds like you're on a moral crusade against a particular technology rather than trying to do the job of telling a story.

#57This post is perfect. It summarizes my position on today's variant of 'AI' exactly. I'm sending this article to everyone that asks me how I feel about it. Thanks for writing it.
