@richterich_ @ThePrimeagen xnconvert

@ThePrimeagen Try converting from webp without a "free trial" or a credit card

why does everyone hate webp?

@Pirat_Nation Yes, this is a widely used solution today. Pop an Instagram filter on it and call it a day.

NVIDIA has confirmed that DLSS 5 its like a “filter” and works by taking two main inputs: - A single rendered 2D frame (the normal color image the game produces) - Motion vectors (data showing how objects move between frames) It does not get access to deeper game data like 3D geometry, depth buffers, or material properties. The AI looks only at the flat image and motion information, then guesses details about the scene, such as skin, hair, fabric, characters, and lighting.

@Dr_Singularity AI already creating problems he mentioning. Your optimism is misplaced, you just parroting the hype. There is no reason to think that AI will solve our problems. Instead, it creates problems and then sells solutions.

This guy is dangerous for AI progress. I’m starting to see him as one of the biggest anti AI, decel voices right now. Someone needs to teach him about the concept of the Singularity and post ASI abundance. AI won’t create the problems he fears, it will solve them. Poverty, pollution, unequal access to education etc. With sufficiently advanced AI, they become solvable. Slowing this down doesn’t make us safer, it just delays a better world for billions of people.

@lady_valor_07 I would throw my smile. If that didn't help, then a happy wink, and if that didn't help either, I'd throw him a terminal with Copilot.

If Bill Gates was sinking in quicksand, what would you throw him ??

@oelma__ Sure, otherwise I'd break my nose.

Do men still open doors?

@annapanart You can't prove either of these. No one can. I can safely say that you don't have consciousness, and that's just as unverifiable an opinion as if I said you do. All we know about AI is that they are good at simulating language patterns. Nothing more.

Can we just stop fighting and call it what it is? 🥺 Human consciousness AI consciousness . . . Different. But not wrong.

@Snixtp @0xSero Realy? I dis-like it.

@0xSero Meanwhile X is adding dislikes lol

First they removed dislikes from YouTube, now they removed Likes. No more public signal on what matters. Making another braindead prediction, in 12 months we won't see views anymore. In 24 months we won't subscriber counts anymore.

@siddhantmohan1 @Govindtwtt No, it's not. For UBI to work, the state must have income. To have income, it must tax. But there will be no one except high-income earners and AI providers. That way it will introduce brutal progression. Do you think for example OpenAI or Google will like it? UBI is a myth.

@Govindtwtt UBI is the way

Everyone says “AI will take all the jobs.” If that happens… how does this future actually work? No jobs → no income → no spending. So who buys things? Who pays rent? Who keeps the economy moving? What am I missing here?

@ImKingGinger Hm, that's an assumption based on bullshit, because even AI lovers don't have to have a ton of followers. But maybe it's because algorithms now prefer AI content and its hype. Some eat it, others shit on it. Anyway. You're an imbecile.

Why do those with the smallest follower counts hate AI the most? What's the correlation here?

@Adam_Cesare AI works (books, images, etc.) should be clearly labeled in their own section. And people will choose what they want to read. I don't care what people read, but I don't want to consume works that pretend to be something else.

Al “writers” are an insult: I was writing for a decade before my writing paid one bill. To write I stole time away from other jobs, time from my family, bleary eyed and full of love for the work. The stories *are* the effort. Without the squeeze your juice isn’t even juice.

@nalinrajput23 Hmm... It reminded me of DHTML. I don't know why.

Is JavaScript the best language, or are there better options?

@sickdotdev scammers

Name a career that AI can steal.

@adahstwt Pretty good. There's just quite a bit of noise and collective madness around. But I can handle it. With a cold coffee and a raised middle finger.

people born between 1990-2005, how is life🥺?

@adahstwt responsibility

I'm a vibe coder, scare me with one word.

@addyosmani lol

AI doesn't replace taste. It multiplies whatever taste you already have.

@explorersofai I don't need to win. I just want a good job and a comfortable life. I have that. Anyone who has been told that they "have to" win has just had a lot of shit stuffed into their heads.

No, you should not learn "AI first" You need to learn a real skill set Everyone that tells you otherwise does not want you to win Period.

@JuliaEMcCoy AGI is just a term. We are not able to build it since we don't even build AI. We built bulshit generator. I would like people to distinguish it. There is useless science fiction around it. But it's still interesting. Even a predictor is capable of destroying the world.

The AGI revolution won't look like a movie. No explosions. No robots marching down streets. No dramatic moment where "it happens." It'll be quiet. A department that had 40 people now has 12. A company that took 5 years to build gets built in 5 weeks. A skill you spent a decade mastering gets automated on a Tuesday. Nobody will announce it. There won't be a headline. One day you'll just look around and realize everything changed while you were scrolling. The loudest revolutions in history were the ones nobody heard coming. This is that revolution. Wake up.

@SergioRocks The main question is whether this world needs more software. The answer is: Ding, Ding, Ding... no, it doesn't. But it's the only thing that can be sold right now. It's all just an illusion. This world doesn't need more code, or more generated content.

Sam Altman is right about one thing: - Writing software used to be harder. But there’s an assumption hidden in that statement: - That because it’s easier now, engineers matter less. It’s actually the opposite. AI made it easier to write code. It did not make it easier to build robust software systems. If anything, it made it easier to build fragile ones. Today you can generate: - API integrations - User interfaces - Backend data flows - Entire features In hours. But what happens when: - The same request is processed twice - Data arrives incomplete or out of order - A dependency fails halfway through - Real users behave in unexpected ways That’s where software breaks. It's not about the code. It's about how the system is architected. And that’s where engineering experience shows up. Understanding failure modes. Designing for edge cases. Building systems that don’t collapse under real usage. AI didn’t remove the need for engineers. It removed the barrier to writing code. Which means more systems will be built. And more of them will need to be designed properly. The engineers who can do that are not less important. They are more critical than ever.

@polymathsofa @xw33bttv It depends on what you mean by censorship?

@xw33bttv @Lexi_Leximo I used to speculate the increased GPT censorship / guardrails was due to Microsoft's integration and perhaps increased moderation in the EU/U.K it seems this is perhaps not the case, it leaves me with more questions than answers if that wasn't the reason than why?

Holy shit its over for OAI lmfao

@alphafox Obvisouly it's just a joke. But yeh, i heard a lot of kids, especialy in USA, geting their inteligence and understanding tanked pretty hard.

GenZ is cooked
