my vocal synth models the vocal tract as a network of branching acoustic tubes, unlike vocaloid which stitches together and pitch-shifts phoneme recordings. still working on improving naturalness by tuning it against recordings of real singers, but I'm already impressed at how cool it sounds!

I wonder if given current state of AI, some game studio is optimizing engagement by making one agent to play and stream the game while viewer agent judges how engaging the content is.

@mobxgames @henningsanden what makes it not blind without a review?

[Viktoras M @viktorasm]

@mobxgames @henningsanden that sounds like some misinformed CEO level bs. I've never saw a single senior who maintains a long term project conclude he'll blindly trust AI output:)

[Viktoras M @viktorasm]

@mobxgames @henningsanden elaborate the bit about code reviews

[Viktoras M @viktorasm]

@tinynocky @soyposmoderno put it into this pose and you will. no rig survives hulk smash pose!

@martinfowler article ends declaring that “pr review today is the only and ultimate quality gate with too many responsibilities”. i’d disagree such problem even exists, but I’m not a CTO:)

happy back-to-school day, to all who teach, are taught, and to all taxi-driver parents with their renewing duties:)

@henningsanden has vibes of Henry from KCD:)

@JulienS97092568 @HistoryMattersX @MaxBoot joined twitter when Russian invasion started, random name, and promotes Russia’s side like its a full time job. this “veteran” is simply a ruzzian bot.

Massive Russian attacks against Ukraine.

Exclusively civilian targets and infrastructure were attacked—something Russia will, as always, deny.

The ceiling at the Lukyanivska metro station has collapsed; those seeking shelter can barely breathe.

The market in Lukyanivka is on fire as a result of the Russian attack.

In Poland, air defenses have been placed on high alert, and NATO fighter jets have scrambled—not to help, but merely to take a few photos for the family album.

Death, destruction, suffering. For over four years, Europe has done nothing but watch.

@mark_k AI made code is often pretty good, especially for grunt work type of tasks. it can build upon existing code and human can at any point intervene and make further tweaks.
visual output of AI is final result. you can’t iterate on fine details.

@kevinbparry but it’s a desert:)

@ID_AA_Carmack piano comes close to “multiple unlabeled switches” :)

gates of creation were never closed. you don’t need an art degree. you’ll still need to do quite a bit of study (also known as years of experience) to produce anything interesting.

[Ivan Flugelman — VVSVS™ @_VVSVS]

AI creators are a gift to mankind.

For the first time in history,
anyone from any background
can express themselves visually, instantly,
and share their ideas with the world.

You no longer need an art degree,
years of training,
or access to expensive tools.

AI has opened the gates of creation.
It has given people the power
to explore worlds,
to shape aesthetics,
to build images that once lived only in imagination.

What once belonged to a few
now belongs to everyone.

And that, to me,
is one of the most beautiful revolutions of our time.

@JustineBateman @henningsanden @CocaCola i hate it because it looks bad, not because its made with AI. in any case, people got used to smartphone quality photos, AI slop wil also be enough for most.

@LividBuffalo9 @GrandChessTour @LevAronian @chess24com @Kasparov63 @MagnusCarlsen @chesscom @STLChessClub @ChessbaseIndia @MauriceAshley i dont see how holding on to drawish position would be considered a sportsmanlike, if you can force a draw by repetition, then you get a draw, otherwise both sides can do whatever they want. its only a clear loss that you should acknowledge and not drag the game further.
