You're describing a Taravangian prompt situation (a character in a book series who wakes up with a different/random intelligence level each day and has a series of tests for himself to determine which kind of decisions he's capable of that day). https://coppermind.net/wiki/Taravangian

I can't help but feel this is a useful analysis for humanity, but somehow saddening for a fan of the person being analyzed. Almost overly invasive.

Would Sir Terry have appreciated or approved of this?

For many of us, even if drawing that line exactly is debatable, a prompt-generated image, where the "artist" didn't interact with any of the pixels is across the line for "too much AI".

It can definitely take creativity and fortitude to get an AI model to draw what you want it to. But if you worked at a fantasy publishing house and commissioned a cover painting, it might take a fair amount of work for you to get the artist to create something in line with what you envisioned. But you wouldn't get artistic credit for the resultant painting; the artist would! If AI is creating the piece, it is the artist; and you're merely the commissioner of the work.

What I like about this piece is how it shows the technical prowess underpinning the visual outputs in a film like what Disney puts out.

I only wish it went further! There are a ton of lessons those of us outside films/games could learn from working in that kind of deadline-consttrained innovative landscape. Tell about how you fought against the rendering deadlines and sped up the snowscape frames by 30% to get it in under the wire!

I see USD $36 on ebay, used. It's a smaller barrier to entry.

Refreshing when technical writing has a sense of style.

Read it and gain a gnawing sense of unease at how "good" things might really be at present!

Instant Pot Garbanzo beans/chickpeas with a tiny bit of salt are a favorite in my home. Creamy, savory, and delicious! Cannellini beans are also lovely.

The title is correct, but it obscures the fact that it's discussing life in Antarctica!

Living in antarctica is one of our closest analogues to long-term space habitation.

Imperva, a Thales Company | Data Scientist for Bot Detection | Full-Time, Hybrid (Vancouver)| imperva.com for the company | Hiring two candidates.

We are looking for talented, experienced Data Scientists who are ever curious about data problems and eager to write code to get those problems solved.

Members of this team creatively find problems as well as solve them. Much of the work is analyzing detection mechanisms and bot behaviors, making advances in realtime bot detection and mitigation, and implementing those advances in production.

The positions are on the team I lead. The data and problem are interesting, data is intrinsically useful in bot detection, and there is no shortage of challenge to working a difficult problem. Python, SQL, and Rust are some languages we're currently using for most of our work. The ideal candidate has worked as a software engineer and data scientist and wants to do both.
