If you don't do any 3D printing, it's hard to understand the difference between bambu labs and nearly everything else.

The Bambu printers work. Imagine the difference between windows XP and OSX. Do you guys remember the insane breath of fresh air it was to get a computer which just worked?

That's Bambu. Yeah they aren't open source there's all sorts of telemetry, etc. Nobody cares because they really just want to print things.

No, that's just the reality of the market right now. Software engineers are an extremely hot field, likely because everybody is trying to add AI to their products.

Just as a reminder, 15 years ago was 2011.

That was...like 4 macbooks ago. I still have keyboards from that era. I still have speakers and monitors from that era kicking around.

We are definitely, definitely not the last generation to use keyboards.

The fact that you believe this is the exact reasoning behind trying to prevent things like what Jimmy Kimmel did here.

It could not be more cut and dry than this. In fact it is so cut and dry that a conspiracy theory on both the left and the right is that the text messages demonstrating his political motivations aren’t genuine.

The model should appear as a drop down at the top of the page.

My guess is because the models were all trained on text. You could do as you say, but I think it would go: blender video {gets described by an AI into text}-> text prompt -> video.

The fact that SamA just seems to go off the cuff on twitter pretty frequently is such a breath of fresh air.

A lot more people would do that if cocaine was legal, I suspect.

First of all, the term moat comes from Warren Buffet, and has to do with his investment strategy: https://finance.yahoo.com/news/warren-buffett-explains-moat-...

Second: Massive capital expenditure, specifically in this case the huge cost of building or leasing enormous GPU clusters, is *exactly* what he means by this.

OpenAIs moat is their massive access to capital and compute. That’s what I mean.

"Proof" for thousands of years was whatever was written down, and that was even easier to forge.

There was a brief time (maybe 100 years at the most) where photos and videos were practically proof of something happening; that is coming to an end now, but that's just a regression to the mean, not new territory.

OpenAI demonstrating the size of their moat. How many multi-million-dollar funded startups did this just absolutely obsolete? This is so, so, so much better than every other generative video AI we've seen. Most of those were basically a still image with a very slowly moving background. This is not that.

Sam is probably going to get his $7T if he keeps this up, and when he does everybody else will be locked out forever.

I already know people who have basically opted out of life. They're addicted to porn, addicted to podcasts where it's just dudes chatting as if they're all hanging out together, and addicted to instagram influencers.

100% they would pay a lot of money to be able to hang out with Joe Rogan, or some only fans person, and those pornstars or podcasts hosts will never disagree with them, never get mad at them, never get bored of them, never thing they're a loser, etc.

These videos are crazy. Highly suggest anybody who was playing with Dall-E a couple of years ago, and being mindblown by "an astronaut riding a horse in space" or whatever go back and look at the images they were creating then, and compare that to this.

It’s really funny to re read this with that perspective.

>My kid was really surprised to find out that Sam cofounded this company.

>Sam is going better than you. Do better.

Etc. I don’t know that you’re right, since these do sound like praise, but it’s kind of a funny game to change the tone and make them into catty insults.

This comment resonates strongly with me.

I have watched a lot of hours of court cases. The adversarial lawyers are very literally trying to get you to screw up verbally. That’s their job. They could hold of a picture of an apple and say “is this an apple, yes or no.” Or even “is this a photograph of an apple yes or no?” And depending on what they mean the answer could be both.

The Tesla screen is incompatible to almost everything else.

It’s fast, its huge, and it looks nice.

The latest design changes have been annoying, but Tesla is far and away the closest to anybody has come to a good touchscreen in a car.

It’s more like using an iPad than using an infotainment system in a car.

“Fancy” is absolutely the last word that comes to mind when I see one of these touchscreens.
