Artificial Intelligence
Future is going to be ... mmmm interesting
Sooner than later we're going to listen to bands that dont exists and watch movies entirely made by computers without any real persons in em.
And we will all sound like old people when we will tell kids "back in my days, real actors were playing in movies and real musicians were writing music"
- Actually every creative fields are going to take a hit... Writers, Musicians, Painters, Illustrator, Movie makers... anything artistic could be replaced.HAL9001
- Maybe it will gives more value to the real creations... but how interesting the real creations will be compared to AI creations?HAL9001
- We already are accustomed to movies that’re like this to a biggg degree, reason why I can’t get too excited about hero movies or the stale, 90% cgi festsprophetone
- They said this when rock and roll arrived, then disco, then pop, then rap, then electronic... those aren’t real musicians playing the real musicprophetone
- American pop music is engineered to a 90% degree with some outliers writing their own stuff... k-pop is 100% engineeredprophetone
- The real test one day will be if an AI replicant human pop idol running on a battery and popularity algorithm can tour and sell out stadiums to humansprophetone

Vision Pro
Here is what I do not understand at all about this:
Apple's main selling point is overpriced products, but you're paying for the look.
You're paying for sleek design, possibly even for a client to be like "oh look what's on his desk". But it's about the look. That is Apple. That is all it has ever been.
I saw one in the wild, and it was the dorkiest clunk shit I have ever seen. It triggered some primal urge to rob the guy, and I'm no thief.
- Fuck Apple, but I'm pretty sure it's more than the look. They do some things really, really well, and I'm not talking about buttfucking their retarded fanboys.crazyprick
- lol I know that feeling_niko
- what cp said... especially about the buttfucking part (but def agree Apple produced more than a pretty facade)PonyBoy
- the issue here is Apple has excelled at sleek tech on products that have marketshare. cellular phones when they entered the market was a huge spacejonny_quest_lives
- producing a revolutionary smartphone 2-3 years ahead of the competition was lightning in a bottle.jonny_quest_lives
- now they are entering a crowded VR space that has always been fringe demo product that every tech company has tried and come to the hard realizationjonny_quest_lives
- that mmersive tech is really cool for about 30 to 40 minutes then the user starts to get uncomfortable as strapping shit to your head gets uncomfortablejonny_quest_lives
- I am telling you kids the future is knobs and tactile inputs... teenage engineering is onto somethingjonny_quest_lives
- +1 johnny. And the future is knobs, there's hope for us yet.MrT
- the space Apple's entering is crowded with gaming rigs, and Apple's creating a separate space for getting shit donemonospaced
- Just because everyone else hasn't gone beyond what you call fringe doesn't mean Apple can't. They've done it many times before.monospaced
- Apple's space is a void of PO aimed at lazy people who have more money than sense, not people who can actually work on their own tech.garbage
- Their innovation years stopped at the iPhone and the Retina. Everything else they've done is "these suckers will pay for anything."garbage

Dall-E, Midjourney, Stable Diffusion (etc) - who's playing, and with which?
Not the best example but Open AI just released some demos of a new text to video generator called Sora that can do upto 60 seconds and is quite consistent.

- Very promising. No (or almost no) morphing/ jitter effects. When available?NBQ00

- Seems like it might be a wee while, says they're still safety testing it. Some of the examples on that site are pretty mad.PhanLo
- wow, wow, wow the video samples on that link are bonkers good. I can't tell the difference from real video._niko
- "can't tell the difference from real video." really? every sample looks like 480p upscaled to 720p felt like i fell into the spike jonze 2001 filterjonny_quest_lives

- this already looks better than 99.9% of 3d shit out there. https://cdn.openai.c…_niko
- it still looks upscaled.feels like they took every HD LED TV demo video reel and trained their model on it but the outputhas less resolution and is more jitteryjonny_quest_lives

- i do like nightmare fuel though it is an aesthetic to itself: https://openai.com/s…jonny_quest_lives
- ^ slightly possessed demon grandma :-)PhanLo
- yeah creepy. I love this though, the stuff of dreams https://cdn.openai.c…_niko
- Def sounds like it'll be a while before it's public release. Seems like they are attempting to be ultra responsible to make sure its all PC and for all ages. ;)microkorg
