Unity continuing to step on rakes, I see.
It’s so weird. It feels like the anti-AI art sentiment is getting stronger, and yet people continue to double down or even jump into it. I get someone line OpenAI whose entire existence is dependant upon it succeeding… But there are hundreds of AI companies now. How many companies really think they’ll be successful enough to be worth it, in a new field that there’s growing sentiment against?
It’s that kind of thinking that leaves me to think that they’re all just chasing a short term stock bump that will obviously hurt them, or provide nothing, long-term.
Side note: I find it funny people are down voting news they don’t like. That’s fine. I just think it’s good to know, even if you’re against it.
AI has had such an ungodly amount of money put into it that the industry has tried to insert it into as many workflows as possible. It isn’t tenable, much like the power and resources required to drive the data centers used in AI.
People are generally against AI for many many logical reasons, so do not feel bad that your post has any amount of downvotes. It is about AI and who is trying to ram it down the globe’s throat.
Yeah. I think if/when it pops, we’ll just see Amazon and others use as much of the hardware and real estate as possible to push cloud clients even harder. (To the extent the hardware will work to that end.) And with prices being so high, and often unwilling to go down in a reasonable time, that’ll be a bigger issue in the long-term.
And yeah, I just noted the but because it was funny. This community is basically “what’s Jeff finding interesting?” anyway. (Though obviously I welcome nearly any post.)
My gracious sakes… I am sorry, but I won’t ever adventure any LLM/AI-generated void-empty sorrowful nonsense…
I am just ~40, and they already obliterated and ruined the whole industry of digital art, and trust in it…
And they beat and harm it even stronger, heavier, and even more bloody-violently…
It is so… terribly death-like sorrowful… no words may describe…Oh my gracious sake… Thankfully, so freaking thankfully… there’s still peace in so many artworks prior 2020… to adventure, read, listen, explore, realize… to actually learn something, to actually discover a human… in actual art of a human, by a human, for a human…

@Jeffool “soon” = never
That seems unlikely to me. Human brains can do metacognition, so it’s obviously physically possible. Computers keep getting faster. Unless civilization ends first, we should theoretically be able to make a computer fast enough to just emulate a human brain and brute-force metacognition, at which point anything is possible.
Now, will that occur in our lifetimes, or for that matter in this millennium? Who knows.
We only need to accelerate the melting of the poles to do so, it seems.
