Martin Scorsese is an advisor to Black Forest Labs.
He's spent six decades shaping how the world sees stories. Now he's helping us shape visual intelligence with human taste and craft at the center.
We sat down with him for a working storyboarding session using FLUX.
@reddit_lies I am a retired material sciences engineer with a few published research papers over my career. Want to hear some bullshit? A research article that I authored in 1976 was flagged as >98% AI generated 😆. That should tell you how accurate these systems are.
It’s okay to just say you don’t like a book and prefer another. You don’t have to spew bullshit and announce to the world you don’t know shit about art or child psychology.
Instead of getting the Hungry Caterpillar for my children I got “A Butterfly is Patient”. Why? Because children deserve beauty rather than ugliness. It nourishes their spirit in a healthy way. Ugly art is junk food poison for your children. You were told to get Hungry Caterpillar by an insalubrious culture. Resist. Get your children books that depict nature in its true resplendent beauty in anatomically correct images that will help them identify things like caterpillars and butterflies in the real world. This is what they deserve. Let the blobby artists starve on their own egos.
Steven Bartlett says a few glasses of wine ruined the next 3 days of his life
“It's one of those areas where you don't understand the hidden cost until you really give it up for a while. I stopped drinking at 30 years old. I'm now 33. When I was 31, I thought, I'll have a drink again because now I could really A/B test it. I had a year of not drinking, decided to have a drink again”
“It ruined three days of my life. I had a couple of glasses of wine, didn't get drunk. It ruined three days of my life because of the domino effect it caused”
“I got worse sleep that night, and then because I got worse sleep that night, I ate more poorly the next day because my dopamine system or whatever, the cortisol system was all messed up. I podcasted worse. I didn't go to the gym that day or the day after because I felt really bad. I then slept worse, and I could track all of this on my Whoop”
@potatoslav@DNM_ii When I was in Germany(last Sept) a woman told me they don’t use AC because it’s unhealthy to go from hot to cold too fast. I hope she was an outlier, I fear she wasn’t.
It’s wild how booing AI has completely broken some commencement speakers. They’ve gone from, “You can do anything if you put your mind to it” to “Shut up and eat shit, fuckers. Being here is supposed to make ME feel good, not you.”
🇲🇻🇮🇹 FLASH | Les plongeurs finlandais qui ont remonté les corps pensent avoir identifié ce qui aurait provoqué la mort des cinq Italiens piégés dans une grotte sous-marine aux Maldives.
Selon les premiers éléments, le groupe expérimenté aurait pourtant emprunté par erreur un mauvais tunnel lors de la remontée après avoir été trompé par une « illusion de mur de sable » dans l’obscurité de la grotte.
Les secours ont retrouvé les corps dans un couloir sans issue situé à environ 50 mètres de profondeur.
Les experts estiment qu’avec leurs bouteilles standards de 12 litres, les plongeurs ne disposaient que de quelques minutes d’autonomie à cette profondeur. Pris de panique et désorientés, ils auraient rapidement consommé tout leur air.
Les enquêteurs analysent désormais les GoPro et le matériel récupéré pour comprendre précisément ce qui s’est passé. (La Repubblica)
Thomas Massie: “For years I’ve been standing up for the Second Amendment, the First Amendment, the Fourth Amendment, the Fifth Amendment, the Tenth Amendment…
I just realized the Seventh Amendment is under attack!”
“The Seventh Amendment is your right to a jury trial.
They’ve taken it away for vaccines. If you get hurt, you can’t sue for vaccines. They’re trying to take it away for pesticides. They’re trying to take it away for these data centers.
NO!”
For years, an old man has been caring for this ray ever since it was a baby, feeding and looking after it.
The ray recognizes him as its human grandfather and approaches him like a giant friendly sea pet.
still not quite over the fact that i watched 15 year olds get sued for millions of dollars for downloading twelve songs and now we all have to accept AI slop because every tech company in the known universe decided that IP laws don't exist now that they're inconvenient for them
CalArts president froze for like 45 seconds due to student booing. Chairwoman of the board stepped in and chastised the graduates. Asked the president if he wanted to continue and he said “You tell me,” then he left the stage and the campus.
