What I really need is a droid that understands the binary language of moisture vaporators.
But can he speak Italian lawn games?

Then write something down yourself and upload a picture to gemini.google.com or chatgpt. Hell, combine it. Make yourself a quick math test, print it, solve with pen and ask these models to correct it.
They're very good at it.
For that to be relevant to this post, they would need to write with secretary hand.

I look forward, should this prove correct, to the explainers from Quanta, Numberphile, etc.
Do they _need_ to be edgy? They can just be fun, happy, or a representation/proxy of the person behind the computer
The edginess was, at the core of it, what made them fun in the first place
Avoid making memories. Keep your brain pristine.
You're right, you just can't make memories without injecting ink into your skin.
It has become less fun since it has become common. My most recent laptop doesn't have stickers but I might apply some from my sizable collection before it becomes secondary laptop in 1-2 years.
You can still "hipster it" and only use actually cool stickers. Community open source projects, hackerspaces, good conferences, EFF and similar organizations, weird funny stuff.
Good:

Right, which tells us that what was fun about it was feeling cool for doing something unusual.

Most people didn't think we were anywhere close to LLM's five years ago. The capabilities we have now were expected to be a decades away, depending on who you talked to. [EDIT: sorry, I should have said 10 years ago... recent years get too compressed in my head and stuff from 2020 still feels like it was 2 years ago!]
So I think a lot of people now don't see what the path is to AGI, but also realize they hadn't seen the path to LLM's, and innovation is coming fast and furious. So the most honest answer seems to be, it's entirely plausible that AGI just depends on another couple conceptual breakthroughs that are imminent... and it's also entirely plausible that AGI will require 20 different conceptual breakthroughs all working together that we'll only figure out decades from now.
True honesty requires acknowledging that we truly have no idea. Progress in AI is happening faster than ever before, but nobody has the slightest idea how much progress is needed to get to AGI.
> Progress in AI is happening faster than ever before
Is it happening faster than it was six months ago? a year ago?
They don't have ads, it's paid members only. You can see other people's images, including the prompts, so it's an interesting way to learn what works, and to mutate prompts and images. There are many ways of recombining or breeding images.
They have an onboarding flow where you rate images and it tunes into your aesthetic preferences. You can create mood boards for specific projects.
So I would say it's more community than social media.
Yeah, and definitely not AITok

That's a direct copy of what Midjourney has done already.

Many people are just playing with images and the distinctive styles that Midjourney (the model) seems to have developed. It's also trained by ratings and people's interactions.
When you make images you can dial down the "aesthetic".
That's interesting, but how many people are actually going to just scroll and watch these (thereby generating ad revenue)?

I only know "trad" in the climbing sense - what's the new slang meaning?
