A recent securities filing spotlighted what triggered Mark Zuckerberg’s months-long power battle with board directors at Meta — a fight that sparked not-so-veiled threats from Zuckerberg and led board members to contemplate quitting.

Actions speak louder than words, personally I was in talks with Epic to get all my game assets on their Fab.com marketplace (for free) but cancelled the deal immediately. If they want slop, let them have slop.

There is no world where slop games become the popular norm. Look at how many excellent alternatives to Minecraft, Factorio, etc. etc. have been made over the last decade, and now look at how many people still just play the original. Being able to slop out a good game isn't even close to enough...

jenny tightpants@jtp.bsky.social

when AI was gonna replace real movies everyone was like "no it won't. it can only make slop and it will never be good." but now that ai is making slop games everyone is freaking the fuck out cuz what if one day it can copy a game thats actually good? or what if gamers dont care and like the slop

Seeing Oklab enjoyed and used by so many is mind-boggling! I still can’t quite comprehend that I wrote a blog post that ended up as a web standard and in software everywhere. Best part is seeing so many people say they enjoy Oklab and that it is a tool they regularly use.

Xor@xordev.com

If you need a random color (e.g. procedurally coloring objects), you should use Oklab or Oklch color space instead of RGB or HSV. RGB may span the whole spectrum, but it does not pick fairly (leaning dark/muddy). Oklab is designed to more closely map to how we perceive color

Netflix's new reality show "Wonka's Golden Ticket" uses AI Gene Wilder as its host. The beloved comedian passed away in 2016, but his voice lives on in AI form. At least Netflix didn't use AI to create the new Oompa Loompas. What do you think of this AI resurrection? Let us know in the comments 👇

Still the biggest reason I wont use AI tooling. Companies should be held to *higher* standards than individuals. If you train a model on pirated data for yourself, you do you. If OpenAI does it, they should be disintegrated. Same reason why a movie theater can't just play whatever it wants.

It's kinda interesting that only the abimated visual media get this realism focus. Nobody is demanding that music have even higher fidelity, books to have more visceral descriptions, paintings to be more lifelike. It's really just games and videos that need to be "real".

Ok so here's a thought. These problems got solved because of Lean being able to actually verify the solution. Final proof was 13M LoC IIRC. Genuinely wonder how much more efficient the LLM was at finding those 13M lines compared to, say, random token selection.

By allowing training on unlicensed data, we've explicitly allowed and encouraged this. AI isn't coming for your job, companies are coming for your data, and they have a divine right to it because the models are just worth it at any cost, apparently.

I suspect this is why inference is so "profitable". Not just do you make decent revenue from the token IO, you also have users paying you to take their potential new training data. Local models with transparent datasets are a bare minimum for this technology IMO.
