Have you seen the outputs from OpenAI's latest image model? I believe it is called "Image 2.0", is just a few weeks old and - to my untrained eyes - the outputs including text are astonishing.
That sounds just like Microsoft, Facebook or Oracle products (in some circles). What I'm trying to say it is classic strategy done many times before with various tools (and I hate the perpetrators every time).
But has there ever been an advanced, more civilized means to change tested and demonstrated? All I can think of was broadly diluted violence, applied systematically in an industrialized way against large populations - economic hardships, lowering life quality, health etc - instead of focused, more local flare ups.
