@TheWysestone @IsThisA3DModel @plasma_node For the same reason a photo isn't a painting.

@IsThisA3DModel @plasma_node How is it not a 3D model? Looks like it was rendered in 3D to me.

I'm really sick and tired of this account. All they do is cope. Yes, it's not great. But we need to stop acting like ai vids are all total dogshit. They are not They WILL get better as they have been. Soon it will be indistinguishable. I'm not a fan of that. But let's be real

@_sanjeev_singh_ @occidensus @thiojoe @Smaug1597894 no, not technically, intuitively. Obviously internally they're doing insanely more, but as humans we don't perceive it as equivilantly more. But we DO notice how much slower everything FEELS. That's his point.

@Octamed @occidensus @thiojoe @Smaug1597894 They actually do Millions of times more complex things now lmfaoo Have you never played any 4K video and noticed how fast the frames are rendered? Or maybe even a videogame that at 120fps renders and entire frame with all the physics and geometry in like 8.33ms?

Anyone else think it's weird that computers take even multiple seconds to boot up? I feel like they should take milliseconds

@_sanjeev_singh_ @occidensus @thiojoe @Smaug1597894 No shit. That's the point. Modern computers are thousands of times faster (millions if you count the GPU), but don't DO thousands of times more complex things. We're just lazy now.

@Octamed @occidensus @thiojoe @Smaug1597894 RAM has gotten way faster than any 80s computer could ever dream of, you can emulate any 80s system in nanoseconds on the shittiest pc today We just want our pc to do better things than the old ass tty glorified calculator

@bastulio FFS man, he's asking a fun question and people have fun answers. He's not asking the meaning of life. You don't have to be a prick just because it's twitter

@Octamed You went full retard, man. Never go full retard.

@occidensus @thiojoe @Smaug1597894 You'd think so, but the point is probably that everyone is too lazy to care. They *could* be as fast as 80s computers, but eh, why bother.

@Octamed @thiojoe @Smaug1597894 If the laws of physics allowed it, it would already do so

@bastulio @thiojoe @Smaug1597894 Twitter is literally only for fun conversations. That's why he posted instead of googling it. Also, google has old information, things might have changed.

@Octamed @thiojoe @Smaug1597894 And the web is full of answers, you just have to use a search engine. It's not that hard.

@JamshidHormuz @thiojoe hah my god that AI picture is just wrong enough to mess with my head

@thiojoe My early 80s TRS-80 with a 0.895 MHz CPU started immediately, click the button and it was up (no joke!)

@bastulio @thiojoe @Smaug1597894 Yeah no kidding. That's what questions are for

@thiojoe @Smaug1597894 Damm, so much ignorance. What's the read speed of your SSD?

@occidensus @thiojoe @Smaug1597894 It should though, that's the point.

@thiojoe @Smaug1597894 Talking to hardware does not take nanoseconds

@leonard_coder @thiojoe You can do that and even load a full game of 3" disc before modern computers have even booted

@thiojoe I'm used to that with my Amstrad CPC 6128

@QBCCIntegrity It's always weird when anti-gov control people are anti-ev and solar panels. There's no greater control over people than the insanely small amount of liquid fuel Australia has in reserve. With an EV and solar, no gov anywhere in the world can stop you, yet you choose the control?

CONTROVERSIAL OPINION: 1) You can fuel your car for 5 years at $4/Litre for the cost of a cheap EV 2) EV inventories across the country have sold out this week. 3) Our power grid has ZERO CHANCE of keeping the vehicles charged and the lights on. This is a forced transition

@adamslab_ @eevblog @QBCCIntegrity Yes but MOST people are for a few days a week, which is all most people need. 'Most' is the keyword for all large scale things like this

@Titanic1337 @walaber Came here to say exactly that. Elastomania - An amazing game entirely based around the programmer's inability to make bug free motorbike physics.

@walaber That's almost like Elastomania.

Playtester videos providing surprising moments yet again 🤓

@CarlLefavre @CyprusPictures @Saffron_Sniper1 ...what a weird response..

@CyprusPictures @Saffron_Sniper1 Go cry in the corner.

This is the most satisfying news you’ll hear today ! Do you remember when a group of boys, strangers to each other, formed a human chain to save a dog from fast flowing water? Today, local authorities unveiled a “Unity Statue” at the same place to celebrate human unity.

AI guys see that someone wrote words on cardboard to make a "premade" protest sign and it's such an unfathomable amount of effort for them that they think it requires deep pocket funding

@1nectarine @ginyoagoldie Making the art/music is the whole point. Making code isn't the end goal. It's what the code achieves. Same as using a game engine or opensource projects, we didn't write millions of lines of code, yet that's still considered ok. I'm a coder of 35 years.

@Octamed @ginyoagoldie …the end result is the “goal”. People code to achieve a goal. AI “artists” generate images to achieve a goal. It’s the same thing. What are you on

i made a website you can animate on! a bit buggy.. but it works.. lmk what yall think! ginyo.space/celstomp

@1nectarine @ginyoagoldie No it's not. People don't code.. to code, they code to achieve a goal. Art/Music etc IS the end goal. They only exist for the art/process/person/audience. Ps I'm a coder of 35 years

@ginyoagoldie oh you’re funny. so ai is only okay when its convenient to you. but god forbid it touches art. this is the EXACT same thing when someones generate an image with AI and calls it art. 🤦

@digi_son @BadMuthaHubbard @IsThisA3DModel AI makes decisions. A robot in a car factory doesn't. If you're using AI to draw/sing/make videos etc then the AI made the thing. If an AI helps you learn or even code a specific design, great. If that's made clear, there's no problem. The audience deserves to know

@Octamed @BadMuthaHubbard @IsThisA3DModel The art survives. The tools evolve. Would you say that the fancy cars being built nowadays with the help of machines are any less work of pure imagination and creativity. It's just a tool. You direct it how you want. You will be able to use it however you please.

AI guys are so sensitive that stating basic facts about how GenAI works makes them very upset 😅

@ecutruin @johanvinet "Also, LUNARK is human-made, frame by frame. No AI involved, just pure dedication and love for the craft. 🥰". He's simply pointing out, to the audience that cares, that it's hand made. Because AI is now unbreakably associated with low effort, even if there IS effort involved

@Octamed @johanvinet You should really read the post you're replying to. I explained how most people judge the works they consume. So, what's your point?

@ecutruin @johanvinet Ok everyone's an artist now, even a toddler mashing a keyboard. Progress. In the future, I think timelapse recordings of creating art will be a key part of the piece because anything else will be so devalued as to not bother at all.

@ecutruin @johanvinet Of course different audiences might not care. I'm talking about the audience that does care.

@Octamed @johanvinet Value is subjective to the individual. Most people judge the works they consume based on the aesthetics and the story they tell, not by the effort invested in order to produce it. So, your claim that using more efficient tools devalues art to zero is simply absurd. I can't agree.
