High end compute also existed in the 60’s.

The military has already mastered fusion (power), and likely has mastered gravity in some form in secret. They aren’t using mainstream compute for these discoveries

Well, one nation mastered gravity, or maybe two nations? Or three? Hard to keep track of intelligence these days

Oh what a great CIA campaign that would be to give the impression that U.S. military isn’t up to par - to motivate and trick our enemies into making stupid moves while we keep our true cards hidden.

Such a crazy thought.

I’m replying to a user critiquing the output of AI images. His critique is useful to refine that.

Eventually there will be no way to tell between AI slop or not.

I’m not sure how your bridging this into psychoanalysis

Thanks I’ll use this in my prompt to make a better advertisements

Which is a lazy reply.

I think using an LLM to confidently reply to online commenters is more profound, but I digress

Yikes dude, you call me lazy. This is hilarious.

Lazy Reddit style comments, do you ever contribute?

I look down the chain of these comments and looks like others had no problem

Why?

Can you explain exactly why this is bad?

True, but this post in about Capital One.

It doesn’t take a genius or system architect to figure out AI use in banking both internally and for consumers is a huge benefit especially for capital one.

Maybe we should critique the actual agentic products they are creating rather than critique the entire AI spend.

You’re correct, but in the span of time - they are just doing the same thing everyone else is doing in many industries, just way slower

They dont need to justify it.

Sorry to say, tokens aren’t going anywhere, people aren’t going to suddenly stop using AI, and this whole paradigm shift of how people are changing how they work - is a full blown reality.

There is no reversal, no “eh we don’t think the tokens/AI are worth it”. Accept the new reality.

This was clearly - at least designed with AI. Which is not bad by default. But a common thing I’ve come across with designing with AI is it not understanding that people can’t see light text with light background - which is shown here.

Clearly you spent effort in the knowledge and the amazing web view graph which feels great to use on iPhone. But an equal effort needs to be made on all the small corners off the rest of it

I’m chiming in here to say I did pretty much build an entire iOS app with agents, and it launched it on the App Store for me, along with a social push.

I only used Xcode to preview the builds on my device and then guide the prompts more

In a wiretap scenario, yes that would be uncomforting and worrisome.

But these drones are used to chase active criminals. Unless you committed a crime and ran back to your apartment, I think you’d be fine
