@Rahll Hahaha, the ideas guys who threw together some tech that does all of the creative work for ideas guys are having a hard time coming up with ideas.

Almost seems like putting zero effort into anything doesn’t develop you much as a person.

AI's ability to make and assist important decisions is fraught: on one hand, AI *often* classifies things very well, at speed and scale outstripping any reasonably resourced group of humans. On the other, AI is sometimes *very* wrong, in ways that can be terribly harmful.

👇Superb new article from @apple AI: “we found no evidence of formal reasoning in language models . Their behavior is better explained by sophisticated pattern matching—so fragile, in fact, that changing names can alter results by ~10%!”

@tha_rami *Me looking at my old facebook albums of various game UI screenshots uploaded directly from PS4*:Huh… Yeah, I guess there really was a better way to do that, wasn’t there?

Seriously, what an amazing resource. ❤️

I still can't get over how bad AI has become. And this is coming from a computer scientist who spent over a decade studying and programming AI.

I fucking LOVE AI, but here are 10 reasons I absolutely fucking hate it now, a 🧵 ...

I won. I won my appeal.

The Luxembourg court has ruled that Jeff Dieschburg infringed upon my copyright when he used my work without consent.

Using a different medium was irrelevant. My work being 'available online' was irrelevant. Consent was necessary. 1/

weird, this post looks identical to every other shitty AI scam ad on this website

look at you, pretending you’d even fucking exist without the artists you now exploit

luckily if you switch from video games to microsoft excel and then do it for 8 hours instead of 3, none of these things happen

@PaulTassi the ads on this site are such trash

[Jeff Lofland ♦️ @mispeld]

Holy shit, Adobe making Photoshop and Illustrator worse to use almost daily. Getting pop-ups trying to get me to use bullshit GAI features as I CLICK ON MY OWN WORK, disrupting workflow, interrupting complex selections I'm making. Any fellow creatives come across this trash?

@Rahll I finally got to watch this one a few days ago myself, and I couldn’t agree with you more. Never before have I seen an alien world so thoughtfully conceived and intimately realized. Entire show from minute one was beautiful, heart-wrenching, mesmerizing, terrifying, and human.

Midjourney developers caught discussing laundering, and creating a database of Artists (who have been dehumanized to styles) to train Midjourney off of. This has been submitted into evidence for the lawsuit. Prompt engineers, your “skills” are not yours
