AI is your new master ....

[Thaleia]

It would have been interesting to give it a new board with a different lay out as a comparison.

New version of AI photo generator called Midourney is seriously impressive. Photos are better and it follows the prompts more accurately. Videos generation will follow soon. Any wonder why Hollywood actors are worried about their jobs?

Whoa. Imagine this a year from now? Five years from now?

Add the proposal that the observable universe and our own existence is just a simulation. How long until we cross the event horizon, and step through the looking glass.

Next stop is video. There go your graphic artist jobs. Poof!

Jeez. Wonder if source labeling is already being discussed. I.e., Made in xxx.

Let's be sure to make a clear distinction. This isn't some FX design artist rendering stills, this is a creator telling a machine to create a scene or a sequence of scenes and the machine building it per it's instructions. The actresses are real. Most of the rest is AI-generated. Iterated.

Listen to the latest Joe Rogan podcast with Tristan Harris and tell me you’re not frightened for the future of the human race.

[BCMtnHound]

The sooner we collectively realize we are but a stone on the the path of the universe’s evolution, the better. AI may be the next stage, or a tool to expand our consciousness across the void. Perhaps the best we can do is make our place on that path beautiful and noteworthy. You know, maybe leave the stage as beautiful as we found it and include everyone in its glory? Oh wait… damn, we are fucking that up as well.

Been good to know ya.

The fact that Joe Rogan ever got a podcast is enough to know that not only are we all doomed, but our children will really see the collapse in their lifetimes.

I really wish I was on the team working on the NYT case.

I don't know the details. How did they scrape the content behind paywalls?

Between those who want full steam ahead* to make as much money as possible, and those true believers who want to usher in the next stage of evolution as soon as possible, things have definitely gotten a bit scary at this point. Most of us here will probably (hopefully?) be gone by the time the worst shit hits the fan, but it would be interesting to see what the world looks like in 50 years.

Not a big Rogan fan at this point, but there are some interesting conversations on his show from time to time. Worth an embed.

I rarely tune into his nonsense anymore, but he didn’t “get his own podcast” anymore than Shane McConkey “got his own fat ski.” Say what you want about Joe Rogan’s views and whether or not he’s a net add or minus to the dialogue, he was doing this podcast thing before podcasting was really a thing.

Maybe I’m just being a pessimist, but I think the shit is going to hit the fan due to AI much sooner than 50 years. I’m giving it 10 years, max. Wouldn’t be surprised if an AI-related turtle head starts poking out closer to 5.

This is a helpful explainer

We are all AI. Probably just floating around in a satellite time capsule or something.

Still just fun and games, until the cyborgs/androids take charge.

AI is calling from inside your house. Whatever euphemism you want to use is applicable. AI is out of the tube. Pandora has been kicked out of the box by AI. AI is out of the lamp and doesn't do wishes.
