As opposed to a computer creating pixels on a screen? That's particularly fascinating? Gotcha

I don't know if this is a backhanded comment or not, and I also don't know how much modern fine art you have actually seen IRL, but there are people doing some pretty fascinating things that an AI could not really do, such as "leave a physical painting out in harsh weather for several months, or until you think it's "done", as a treatment." Yeah you can mimic the idea but all you get in the end is a JPG or whatever.

Please look up the definition of platitude. It's not very nice.

That is an extremely cynical point of view in my opinion

At the end of the day, we are not going to see AI art in the Guggenheim, or any of those other museums where the finest art in the world resides. AI art is and will always be a novelty. Real art comes from the human spirit. It is not about technical execution, and not just about painting a pretty picture. In actual art we want to see humanity, something that AI will never, ever truly know about.

Seems like a lot of people are missing this point, and it seems like a lot of people have a chip on their shoulder about being unable to create art, and believing they can express the deep recesses of their feelings and psyche and everything else that makes us human by proxy through AI, and thus completely missing the point of creating art in the first place.

I wonder how long this conversation is going to continue. In-office vs. Remote. Seems like the In-office folks are pining for a bygone era, as if we will ever go back to the way things used to be. Personally, I will never go back to the office again except for special occasions. And I will never work for a company who would force their staff to be in-office.

Lots of promise in this one, its in especially good shape for not even being v1.0 yet. It's certainly in better shape than Arc, which I wanted to like but it is extremely slow. I'll be daily driving this one for a while until I feel some reason not to. Once extensions are ironed out I think it will be very powerful seeing as you can add both Chrome and Firefox extensions. The bookmarks need some help, and I would appreciate some features like Firefox auto-sort by name, things like that. Great start

Sorry guy who wrote this article in 2005, hacking is definitely cool.

When is someone going to launch something to clean up all the tech demos and space junk?

Just wondering why as a normal user I would want to use ZFS? Do I want to try this?

Obviously this is a matter of philosophy. I am using Copilot as an assistant, and for that it works out very nicely. It's fancy code completion. I don't know who is trying to use this to write non-trivial code but that's as bad an idea as trying to pass off writing AI "prompts" as a type of engineering.

These things are tools to make more involved things. You're not going to be remembered for all the AI art you prompted into existence, no matter how many "good ones" you manage to generate. No one is going to put you into the Guggenheim for it.

Likewise, programmers aren't going to become more depraved or something by using Copilot. I think that kind of prescriptive purism needs to Go Away Forever, personally.
