The dot com bubble was a financial bubble.

We are in something more like an AI mass delusion.

These are hand selected from thousands of prompts. The person who doesn't use these tools thinks that you prompt the video like you are Scorsese directing a film. That is exactly what AI video is not.

More like you write a prompt and then try try try to get something that vaguely does what you wanted it to do. Most of the time though it doesn't even get close. The best video is usually stuff you didn't even intend. It is great for demo reals but that is about it.

They already made such a big deal about Sora 1 for months before it came out then what have you seen from it after it actually released? Nothing. Absolutely nothing.

Honestly, Midjourney blows away what I seen in this video as far as being pretty but Midjourney video is the same problem. Your imagination is filling in all these AI video features that don't exist.

Now that will be progress!

Will Smith eating spaghetti is the dumbest most uncreative thing. You are impressed by it because it is a meme. It is stupid.

I will believe it when I see because Sora 1 is probably the most disappointing technology given what I thought it was going to be that I can even think of. I waited forever for it and then barely used it because it sucks.

"Unless you have confidence in the ruler’s reliability, if you use a ruler to measure a table you may also be using the table to measure the ruler."

Seems like that is exactly what we are doing.

I am an amateur programmer and tried to port a python 2.7 library to python 3 with GPT5 a few weeks ago.

After a few tries, I realized both myself and the model missed that a large part of the library is based on another library that was never ported to 3 either.

That doesn't stop GPT5 from trying to write the code as best it can with a library that doesn't exist for python 3.

That is the part we have made absolutely no progress on.

Of course, it can do a much better react crud app than in Sept 2023.

In one sense, LLMs are so amazing and impressive and quite fugazi in another sense.

Forget Meta's market cap, does anyone think Zuckerberg wouldn't have paid 20 billion for Tiktok USA ?

Just so corrupt and to even call it a sweetheart deal is outrageous.

I thought it should just be banned in the US. The idea we are basically strong arming a whole nation and stealing a company at a bullshit valuation is completely insane.

I don't expect to learn much at all from internet discussion at this point. It serves a minimal socialization purpose and then my actual learning is from books and language models.

There is just shockingly so little going on in VR.

There is also the issue that it is like a drug that the first few times are so mind blowing but your tolerance builds so fast. Then there is nothing stronger to up the dosage.

It wouldn't be shocking that at extreme use ghrelin stops acting without stimulation from cannabis.

The problem with discussion on these things is everything is dose dependent.

If you drink a glass of wine once a month the state of the extreme alcoholic is not going to line up with your experience from "drinking alcohol."

The research is pretty clear this is from ghrelin stimulating appetite and at the same time altering levels of leptin so a person feels less full.

It is not from a blood sugar crash.

While some studies link lower BMI, meta analysis shows cannabis is kind of a disaster if you are trying to lose weight.

It is hard to make generalizations though because it is so different if you smoke once a month, once a week or once a day.

It would not matter what school you sent me to, I did not care about learning or intellectual pursuits when I was 15.

I would have had to be raised by completely different parents with different values in a different time and place.

The people who like going into the office at my work, go in to socialize.

They are bored at home. It literally has nothing to do with being productive.

I am sure this is all a matter of scale though. My place is really small. At the scale of Microsoft I am sure there are thousands of people really gaming the system badly.

At this point, one is gaining with each model release or they are not.

Lets see in 2035 who was right and who was wrong. My bet is the people who are not gaining right now are not going to like the situation in 2035.

Coltrane is so respected because he use to fall asleep with his saxophone in his mouth because that is the level he would practice.

He represents the ultimate dedication to mastering an instrument.

You should really try making some friends with black people that like jazz so you can understand what a clueless thought this is.
