- The reasoning is that they would have been less likely to catch it had been traveling by plane.palimpsest
- naw the speed of traveling i thought, if he is in here by plane in 6 hours , then the spreading is in europe pronto compared to boat..neverscared
- probably makes no so much of a difference with the incubation time..neverscared

QBN'r AI Slop of the day
I’ve been experimenting pretty heavily with Seedance 2.0 and this is one of the results.
The main reason I made this was to stress test the prompting process while building a Seedance 2.0 prompting guide. I wanted to run a real project through it, see where the model breaks, refine the instructions, and figure out what actually helps when trying to get better cinematic results.
The video started as a fake Japanese-style ramen spec ad, but really it became a test for action, pacing, product reveals, and visual continuity. This probably took a few days of prompting and around $300 in credits to get to this point.
It’s definitely not perfect. There are plenty of weird discrepancies and AI artifacts throughout, but compared to where this stuff was even six months ago, it feels like night and day.
The guide I’m putting together is meant to be uploaded to your LLM as a project file, so you can talk through your idea and have it help structure cleaner, more usable Seedance 2.0 prompts. Ideally, it saves time, credits, and a lot of trial and error.
I’ll probably have it up on my site later today.
- groovy, the fight in the end .. shouldnt she be damaged when the one swat bloke fires at here.?. or gives the ramen bullet proof skin...neverscared
- oh man there's WAY more discrepancies than that lol, but yeah dude shooting her is like a damn storm trooper + he's not directly aimed at her..YakuZoku
- more like in between the 2YakuZoku
- one discrepancy that bugged the hell out of me was the interior of the alley open doorway, but I was like, I'm not wasting another $20 on that shit lolYakuZoku
- I'd buy that ramen.bezoar
- love the ending LOLutopian
- still has that glow or blurpango
- sure there are more wrongs in the video, but that seems the hardest because he stand 2 meter from here and its hard to miss her from that distance..neverscared

U.S.A!palimpsest - if only the trains would ride like they do in japan..milfhunter
- That would be nice but if you're in a city, bikes are the best.CyBrainX
- According to the source, and common knowledge public transportation is best. In terms of efficiency.palimpsest
- A bus is like a group text and a bike is like 50 separate phone calls. Both get the message across, but the group text uses much less battery and time.palimpsest
- Cars are 50 people each hiring a private courier to deliver a sticky note.palimpsest
- only if they all travel at the same speed and you only have a chance of getting laid with one of them._niko
- The famous getting laid parameter.
Doesn't this speak in favor of public transportation though?
- travelling at the same speed
- chance of getting laidpalimpsest - oh right, but only in Tokyo, you haven't lived until you've had a sexy salary-man or five rub up against you for a few stops, it's the only reason I go!_niko

Food
Yeah. Dinner was homemade döner kebab (the emulsified beef mince variety).
Made the bread, upon which I sprinkled white and black sesame seeds, and nigella seeds (off frame).
White sauce is Greek yoghurt, Kewpie mayo, and absolutely copious amounts of grated raw garlic and dried mint.
Red sauce is the chilli one I made yesterday.
Red onions dressed with lemon juice, olive oil, sumac, and a touch of salt.
Leaves are a mix of rucola, parsley, mint, and coriander.
Tomatoes. Cucumbers.
It was filthy. And fucking great.
Tomorrow is birria day.
- What's the technique for the delicious-sounding 'emulsified beef mince variety'?Nairn
- Basically, following one of Andong's (spit) versions that he made. Basically, whazzing mince in a food procressor with the yoghurt and spices until it's paste.Continuity

- have ai rewrite it. problem solved.capn_ron
- prompt: "do the same thing, only cleaner"capn_ron
- This advice will never get old:
Don't be stupid.palimpsest - The biggest improvement in using AI is allowing me to focus more on architecture. Not just by freeing up time but by the nature of the discussions themselves.palimpsest
- Who cares right? If it works it works.monospaced
- if "MVC" (etc) isnt part of the prompt, will AI just create a bunch of functions that work but have no strucuture?Squiddy
- @Squiddy
Not necessarily. I think it can read into how you structure the prompt. It will give a plan and you can make corrections before it implementation.palimpsest - In my case, most of the time it's working from a codebase so it knows how to add new functionalities to it.palimpsest
- As an anecdote, my project mananger that doesn't code implemented something with AI on his own. It was all imperative and difficult to read and debug.palimpsest
- He's the guy that "prompts me". It reminded me of the very first project we worked on. I was working with the only information he gave me so my code was similarpalimpsest
- All that to say, that you don't necessarily need to give it technical constraints for architecture, it's mostly how you explain the project.palimpsest
- The difference between telling it: "Go down the street, make a left then a right, go in the store and get me a soda".palimpsest
- And: "You need to get me a soda from this address, use Google Maps to get directions to this store. Use those directions to bring me a soda."palimpsest
- Then you have the structure to send it to fetch other things at other places.palimpsest
- sounds like every codebase i've ever inherited over 25 years of coding.kingsteven
- palimp is right though, i treat the main agent on a project almost like a wiki, it makes sure the coding agents actually build to spec.kingsteven
- That's the spirit!palimpsest
- The "If it works it works" philosophy can only work once. Once you introduce an external or internal new parameter everything will break.palimpsest
- And that's when you realize you should have built something solid in the first place.palimpsest
- I haven't used MVC in decades. I prefer IIFEs & functional programming . AI naturally infers this from my prompt or the codebase.palimpsest
- It seems like nobody here is using AI in client production grade code. I would love to hear to your feedback.palimpsest
- @palimpsest and @kingsteven thanx for the insights! This is helpful and encouraging.Squiddy
- I'm starting to change my mindset. Before I would just feed AI a class at a time and ask it to code review and refactor. Clearly behind the times.Squiddy

- heh, I'd as much use any from bun, roll or bap, although I think the latter a bit wider and flatter. And then there are stotties... .Nairn
- None come anywhere near closer to a Scottish Morning Roll though.Nairn
- @continuity: https://encrypted-tb…Nairn
- roll and bun pretty much interchangeable, local variety is the belfast bap, bit denser and 4 times the sizekingsteven
- @Nairn you fuck off with that.
Don't make me post photos of the homemade kebab I'll be making this weekend. Including the bread.Continuity - A roll or a bun. Bap sounds like a fancy thing you'd get at hipster eatery.skinny_puppy

- but still, they're either bread rolls or buns here in LeedsIanbolton
- Dinner roll!Akagiyama
- travelled across the North of England last week - Bun, Roll, Bap and Barm were all used._me_
- According to Italian-Canadians: cake_niko
- a cob is a particular black country version, rectangular not round or square.
a bap is larger, as nairn sayshans_glib - and i agree, the daddy of all is the scottish morning roll, perhaps the finest piece of baking known to mankind, as long as it's fresh from a bakery.hans_glib

working on a little waste-of-time project for a friend.
Friend tells me one of his connections has a son who is an AI expert.
Talk to AI expert son, he can build website, back end, admin, inject AI into everything to make our lives easier.
Gives us decent quote.
Meet with him to discuss scope.
Discover He uses all the latest ai chatbot tools to vibe code.
Ask him what programming language he studied.
Says nah bruh, I'm just great at prompting.FML
- Imagine, a new wave of programmers who have never programmed a single line of code. crazy times._niko
- I can only hope your response was a simple 'nah bruh'.Nairn
- I'm not surprised, there's not much coding going into building websites nowadays. And there's a lot of libraries already in place.palimpsest
- Even pre-AI I'm sure anybody on QBN could build a website with no coding skills just using a CMS.palimpsest
- yeah fair enough, especially for front end stuff, but I do get nervous when it comes to more critical/back-end admin/account stuff, but hey what do I know :)_niko
