This must be the single most wonderful magazine archive i have ever seen and it's even searchable. This would be so nice to have with music, fashion and lifestlye magazines. The zooming in and out of decades is a breeze.

Is it true that current LLMs can find bugs in complex codebases? I mean, they can also find bugs in otherwise perfectly working code

Then what is your goal in pointing out, "People are not even interested in each others dreams most of the time"?

The point is that we as hunan beeings have quite some elaborate filters to pick interesting things among hunan artefacts. If those are not conciously fabricated by others (i.e.: dreams, ai gen, anything random or auto generated) we tend to loose interest quickly.

You're making a false assumption that other people cannot enjoy what you're talking about unless they've experienced it themselves. If one has good storytelling skills and a solid theory of mind (concern for the listener), almost anything can be interesting. Even dreams.

I also disagree with your conclusion that an activity only has a point if discussed with others. A good deal of the best experiences in my life are things that were for my benefit alone, that I never thought to share with anyone else. And I'm a pretty social guy.

I neither made this assumption nor the conclusion.

If you believe that art is communication (and I do) why _wouldn't_ you want to reflect on it or discuss it post 'consumption'?

HellDunkel · a month ago
Because there is no point. If the author is a stochastic people machine it is simply not interesting to reflect on it. The fact people make artefacts turns them into art. A stone is not a work of art without some human doing something with it.

You may argue that stones can be interesting without beeing works of art. But the generator above takes works of art as input and somehow takes the art out if it to some degree.

If art is communication- and i believe it is- why would i want to read or listen to anything AI generated? Once you are done with consuption there is no point in reflecting on it nor having a conversation about it with other fellow humans. People are not even interested in each others dreams most of the time. Unless the machine is of godlike intelligence there is just zero point.

No degree or formal education, enjoyed math at school. Helped a colleague finish college which helped solidify my math.

Spend 10 years as a sw dev, then went into VFX and design. Working in automotive design at a major OEM now.

I needed my career shifts really badly and wish the younger generation would have similar opportunities.

The fact that this little animation can have such heavy performance impact tells us one thing: CSS design is flawed. That‘s it. That‘s the whole story.
HellDunkel commented on How I keep up with AI progress   blog.nilenso.com/blog/202... · Posted by u/itzlambda
SoftTalker · a month ago
Trying to keep up is like jumping on a 90mph treadmill. I have decided to opt out. I think AI (and currently LLMs) is more than a fad and not going away but it's in a huge state of churn right now. I'm not investing a ton of time into anything until I have to. In another few years the landscape will hopefully be more clear. Or not, but at least I won't have spent a lot of time on stuff that has quickly become irrelevant.

I'm currently not using AI or LLMs in any of my day-to-day work.

This. When has early adoptation paid off lately? Remember prompt engineering?
