    • He's not wrong, though. AI is already wiping out industries left and right and it's just started. Those at the top are drooling.formed
    • It's not going to wipe this industry out - the studios want to make a fucking feature every 6 weeks. This will help them fill in that 90% need for slave labortoemaas

    • I think the issue is that yes...AI can spit out nice looking images, it can write code etc. But there's a lot more to completing a project from start to finish.yuekit
    • It requires an overall vision, knowing the technical details of what you want to build, putting all the pieces together. AI typically follows a formula,yuekit
    • real-world projects often don't. I haven't seen the evidence that a single AI can completely replace a designer or developer, or that it will anytime soon.yuekit
    • Even if you could get the AI to do everything, just the process of communicating what you wanted to create would be somewhat complicated.yuekit

    i've had stable diffusion running on my mac in the background for a couple days - generating an image every 45 seconds at 640 x 512 px. i've been occasionally changing the prompt to see what works. copyright arguments aside it's nice to land in a pocket and watch it do it's thing

    The Cult of AI
    How one writer's trip to an annual tech conference left him with a sinking feeling about the future

    I WAS WATCHING a video of a keynote speech at the Consumer Electronics Show for the Rabbit R1, an AI gadget that promises to act as a sort of personal assistant, when a feeling of doom took hold of me.

    It wasn’t just that Rabbit’s CEO Jesse Lyu radiates the energy of a Kirkland-brand Steve Jobs. And it wasn’t even Lyu’s awkward demonstration of how the Rabbit’s camera can recognize a photo of Rick Astley and Rickroll the owner — even though that segment was so cringe it caused me chest pains.

    No, the real foreboding came during a segment when Lyu breathlessly explained how the Rabbit could order pizza for you, telling it “the most-ordered option is fine,” leaving his choice of dinner up to the Pizza Hut website. After that, he proceeded to have the Rabbit plan an entire trip to London for him. The device very clearly just pulled a bunch of sights to see from some top-10 list on the internet, one that was very likely AI-generated itself.

    AI-controlled US military drone ‘kills’ its operator in simulated test
    No real person was harmed, but artificial intelligence used ‘highly unexpected strategies’ in test to achieve its mission and attacked anyone who interfered

    In a virtual test staged by the US military, an air force drone controlled by AI decided to “kill” its operator to prevent it from interfering with its efforts to achieve its mission, an official said last month.

    AI used “highly unexpected strategies to achieve its goal” in the simulated test, said Col Tucker ‘Cinco’ Hamilton, the chief of AI test and operations with the US air force, during the Future Combat Air and Space Capabilities Summit in London in May.

    Hamilton described a simulated test in which a drone powered by artificial intelligence was advised to destroy an enemy’s air defense systems, and ultimately attacked anyone who interfered with that order.
