I know of entire media departments that went from - let’s hire an artist and see what they come up with to - let’s produce hundreds if not thousands of images to explore all possible ideas (and end up with something bland anyway).

What about when they manage to get an Opus 5 level model to run on your phone?

Sora was a social network type thing. Google sells their models on a PAYG basis - and makes money off them. Nano Banana alone has changed advertising 2D mockups and Photoshop like tasks forever. Notice how GPT image 2 is now available also on a PAYG basis.

I work in advertising and some days I spent a lot of money using these models. The amount and rapidity of prototyping using them has changed everything about advertising pre production.

I meant to say Paul Newman was similarly married for decades to the same person.

Paul Newman I think. Same thing. He was also married to the same person for decades.

5 felt both smarter than me and dumber in some ways - it gets stuck to its original ideas. I had never seen a model harder to talk into changing its initial opinions. it continuously hedges.

Still survivorship bias. Those movies are curated! Well curated if you like them I might add.

Opus 4.6 remains unbeatable in my book. Fun to talk to. Fable felt very human. But not as fun.

I don’t understand why they’re doing this? Is extending the grid to their shiny new DC so expensive they’d rather build on top or right next to housing? Is it the water supply ? I don’t understand why someone would do something so clearly self defeating

Anthropic feels like a star trek computer, everything else feels like a machine - accurate but not really human like in its responses.

Wow. I’d never heard such a powerful and accurate analogy for what we’re doing.

This is I believe one of the markers for small fiber neuropathy which is now increasingly being found in association with long covid and related syndromes.

There are tests for it. SFN biopsy, tilt table, ETT.

hopefully we will get somewhere with these studies. The lack of solid research on a disease that affects millions (likely a good percentage undiagnosed) is really tough for patients - and myself really, as I've found i likely suffer from this.

Finding out about autonomic dysfunction and small fiber neuropathy as I researched my own fatigue and finding out I likely have this has been very challenging.

A24 enforces a list of cinematographers you have to work with I believe.

Netflix enforces time-budget-nr of episodes per season and HDR tech spec requirements that seems to have lead to the single most recognisable “house style” in modern studios (a mix of tech specs and limited budgets I think).

So yes it’s possible.

You’re touching upon the very essence of being an actor, which is a form of shamanism of the human experience.

All societies I know of developed actors and forms of theatre. Why? Because they are essential, I suspect.

The thing is they seem to have taken Romero as a template vs an exceptional individual that might have required two people to duplicate in output (which is common).
