Amen! This is pretty much what I was thinking also. Just didn’t have time to decide what to say.

My question is whats the point in writing an article about the point of expanding an album cover. Its just something interesting to do. No one is saying its replacing the original cover. Its just a way to imagine the art in a different context. Its almost like you are just trying to capitalize off the phenomenon by…

Right? People are just doing it for fun and are curious how AI reacts, not because they are trying to correct the original’s artistic vision or anything so grand.

You ask “why?”

I’ve got a new startup going for people who want to safely store their funds. It’s called Cashtress, and all you do is send me your actual cold hard cash, and I physically store it under a secure, nondescript location until you need it. Then just email me and I’ll bring you however much you need within a few business…

Or you could just let people enjoy what they enjoy.

This trend of expanding album covers with AI is pointless

The Stabilizer Shrine had me completely baffled on what exactly they wanted me to do to progress and I had absolutely no idea that you could use them to fling yourself like a catapult.

Some of it is also *when* you come across a shrine. If people figured out certain things already through other shrines or gameplay the solution may come more naturally.

How?  This shrine takes 30 seconds to figure out.....if you don’t notice at first (which I admittedly didn’t) you turn around to go back to the start and it is obvious the spinning platform is held on by a horizontal spike.  Maybe I’m overestimating most players ability to use logic, but it literally shows you the…

It’s interesting how certain puzzles will stump some people while others will figure it out instantly. This one only took me a minute to solve, but I’ve gotten stuck on some that other folks found incredibly obvious.

I think it is fair to say that a Luddite is anybody who sees new technology changing their lives and would rather fight the change and delay the inevitable than try to adapt. That can be out of inability, greed, or laziness.

Agreed. I always thought Luddites were opposed to technology that would negatively impact their own livelihood. They didn’t care about the larger impacts on society. Also there’s a big difference between short term and long term impacts. Human society was pretty negatively impacted by the switch from hunter-gatherers…

Gizmodo trying to justify/defend their current editorial stance on new technological developments after claiming to be a tech blog for the last 20 years.

A luddite is simply a person who saw the writing on the wall too late.

This is a very favorable interpretation of what happened to the original Luddites.

Sorry, but Elon Musk’s decades-long struggle to create a true full self driving car is not really representative of the progress in the AI industry as a whole. He screwed up big time and is really more of an example of what not to do.

My wife is a fan of Hallmark Christmas movies. I’ve seen enough of them to believe that if a ChatGPT tool was fed the scripts of 10 seasons of those films it would be able to generate new scripts that required very little rewriting.

The past fifteen years have shown us that people will show up to the movies regardless of the quality. I’m confident an AI could write a script as “good” as Batman vs Superman, and with known superheroes and actors, the movie stands to make billions. AI is only part of the problem - the big driver here is the…

Keep in mind:
-AI is progressing quickly, so today’s output isn’t indicative of next year’s output. I think it’s reasonable for the WGA to build a contract that protects themselves against getting replaced by a better AI in the next few years, so that they avoid similar contractual issues to what happened with the…
