Veo 3 is a major leap in AI video synthesis, but the sound effects need more cooking time.

This is going to sound stupid but - lately I've been walking around going "this is reality ... I am reality" in my head. I actually find it incredibly profound and comforting. Anyway - carry on

I saw an article saying that Rick Rubin is going to produce the new album from Tyler Holders. It used a obviously Chatgpt generated image. I called them out on it but got no response. To me this is dodgy territory. This was a news-based article and they decided it was to create a fake likeness of real people. To me this is a slippery slope. There is a nostalgia-based Facebook page that uses ai generated images of popstars from the past. While I think it's dodgy, it's not as concerning as a contemporary news site doing it.
Anyway. Just venting.
Here is the image. The giveaways are the yellowy tones, aspect ratio, and that something is just not quite right.

Chatgpt has a habit of making heads slightly too big too.

I honestly wouldn’t have looked twice at this. If it’s actually AI, I guess I’m going to be the guy that let’s a Terminator into the human base post-Judgment Day.

What's the environmental cost of BrendAI walking around making up bespoke tours for individual customers, does anyone know? Just broadly as in, is it very bad, or is it not really that bad.
Fast fashion turned out to be a bad idea, this feels samey.

Probably not in the same ballpark as the people flying to get here. I still hate it though.

Chap claims Atari 2600 beat ChatGPT at chess

: 1.19MHz eight-bit CPU trounced modern GPUs – can you do better with your retro-tech?

www.theregister.com

obvious comment is that the atari program has been specifically programmed how to play chess; the speed of the CPU does not matter if they've the standard time in which to make moves.
