Trying to adept an O. Henry short story into an AI animation short. If I'm happy with the results, will be sure to publish a detailed breakdown of the work.

It will win - in the sense that AI too will become a freely available resource. You can't stop progress.

My bet is that once cost-efficiency becomes a priority, we will figure out ways to get away from the expensive GPU infrastructure on figure out how to architect models for CPUs. I still remember that Microsoft paper about ternary weights.

I'm new to HN and was initially excited about the various intellectual and technological posts ... but isn't this literally just written by AI?

I've read like 5 posts in a row and it's starting to dawn on me that all this might be written by AI. Why tf would you even bother posting slop like that?

Aside from the essay, can somebody please explain to me the appeal of "art works" like the ones that Andrew produces? It's gotta be some kind of joke that I missed the memo on, right!?

Congrats on the launch! Don't think anyone has mentioned this yet but that is a fire name! :) Love the pun.
