Don't you ever get up at 8AM and think "ugh not again"? Surely you're not a fan of the 40h work week? I totally agree with everything else and also find it scary, but defending work for the sake of it seems like the wrong angle to take. There will always be opportunities for productivity, regardless of whether that productivity is a requirement for food & shelter or not.

I mean... What kind of answer are you expecting? Like, specific companies that are making money off of AI already? It's kinda early days. Describing discussions of the future as "hype" isn't really helpful either way, since that word has no meaningful definition besides "bad predictions" I guess.

If you want companies that have already chosen to apply AI to their work, consider Google, Facebook, and Tesla.

She was involved with starting "Fellow Robots" in 2014, which is a spin-off of some sketchy for-profit AI "university" deal called "Singularity University".

AFAICT she's notable because she's been an academic and executive in the field for many years, in many different companies.

https://openai.com/our-structure Worth a read, in light of all this. An interesting tidbit that I bet is bouncing around his head right now:

  Third, the board remains majority independent. Independent directors do not hold equity in OpenAI. Even OpenAI’s CEO, Sam Altman, does not hold equity directly. His only interest is indirectly through a Y Combinator investment fund that made a small investment in OpenAI before he was full-time.

I sincerely hope this is about the man and not the AI.

I think this is highly dependent on your distro (and comfort with the CLI but I'm taking that for granted on HN) but I found the gnome screenshot to be very simple, quick, and effective. Piping a hotkey to a CLI command is presumably easy, and after 5s of googling I found the guide below for Gnome. Not exactly fancy and I haven't used this specific tool recently enough to say whether it meets all your requirements exactly (e.g. you might need to press "Enter" once to close a popup), but I think a solution like this might fit the Linux ethos best!

I think Meta would disagree would disagree with the assertion "the tech is amazing right now." The two easiest problems to point to are a) resolution on most consumer headsets is far too low to read text effectively, and b) the ergonomics just aren't there in terms of weight and size.

Pretty big problems - I don't really have any argument either way on how solvable they are in 5-10 years, but I really think the implication that people dislike the concept of working in VR itself is misguided.

This isn't really how DALLE works AFAIK but a very fun idea nonetheless. Here's a quick more simplified experiment than the great work above: "website design mockup.", with and without "Make it pop!"

Ok you owe me $3! This is a really hard prompt, and only got close-ish with inpainting. Got the base figure with "massaged relaxed flattened person, flat, flat, flat, flat, claymation", then finally got it to add a not-too-terrifying face with "photograph of smiling white woman laying on the ground, promotional photography". Final tweaks to erase some artifacts (it really didn't want to believe the figure on the left was the referenced woman) was "photograph of a wooden floor with a white mat and small plants, overhead shot".

DALLE is hard! Curious to see if I can be beat.
