- This was quite catastrophic - everything was down, even nationwide mobile data for Vodafone users (and piggybacking MVNOs). I hope we get more info or a postmortem.
It also had spillover effects on other providers — O2 service was degraded
- In this case, I think the interesting part is the video itself / the process. He breaks down a very inaccessible product and explains how it all works.
- Yup, both, and YouTube (for mixes) as well.
- This is an absurd claim
- It's probably not a good idea to let a 12 year old use tiktok.
- What do you suggest the whole leaning over and adjusting the air flow thing was about?
- What do you mean?
- A well-written article tainted by the ugly AI slop banner plastered up front. Instantly makes it seem lower effort. It would look just fine without a photo at all!
- My opinion ;-)
That's what HN is for
- You make a good point. I'm just spitballing here, but I think what sets generative art apart for me is the element of deception.
I'd be perfectly fine with a hypothetical world in which all generated art is clearly denoted as such. Like you said, art is in the eyes of the beholder. I welcome a world in which AI art lives side-by-side with traditional art, but clearly demarcated.
Unfortunately, the reality is very different.
AI art inherently tries to pass off as if it were made by a human. The result of the tools released in the past year is that my relationship with media online has become adversarial. I've been tricked in the past by AI music and images which were not labelled as such, which fosters a sort of paranoia that just isn't there with the examples you mentioned.
- Simple: I am equally offput when LLMs are used for generating poetry, lyrics, novels, scripts, etc. I don't like it when low-effort generated slop is passed off as art.
I just think that LLMs have genuine use for non-artistic things, which is why I said it's dangerous but may be useful if we play our cards right.
- It saddens me. Innovations in AI 'art' generation (music, audio, photo) have been a net negative to society and are already actively harming the Internet and our media sphere.
Like I said in another comment, LLMs are cool and useful, but who in the hell asked for AI art? It's good enough to fool people and break the fragile trust relationship we had with online content, but is also extremely shit and carries no meaning or depth whatsoever.
- The past few years' innovation in AI has roughly been split into two camps for me.
LLMs -- Awesome and useful. Disruptive, and somewhat dangerous, but probably more good than harm if we do it right.
'Generative art' (i.e. music generation, image generation, video generation) -- Why? Just why?
The 'art' is always good enough to trick most humans at a glance but clearly fake, plastic, and soulless when you look a bit closer. It has instilled somewhat of a paranoia in me when browsing images and genuinely worsened my experience consuming art on the internet overall. I've just recently found out that a jazz mix I found on YouTube and thought was pretty neat is fully AI generated, and the same happens when I browse niche artstyles on Instagram. Don't get me started on what this Sora release will do...
It changed my relationship consuming art online in general. When I see something that looks cool on the surface, my reaction is adversarial, one of suspicion. If it's recent, I default to assuming the piece is AI, and most of the time I don't have time or effort to sleuth the creator down and check. It's only been like a year, and it's already exhausting.
No one asked for AI art. I don't understand why corporations keep pushing it so much.
- The anti-cheat will be very unhappy when it performs a bunch of arcane heuristics and determines it’s running in a VM.
- You can disable the entirety of Apple Intelligence.
You can't enable Apple Intelligence and disable PCC, though.
- Another way to get around it is reading the memory directly with direct memory access (DMA) hardware.
- Try https://hn.algolia.com — it’s great
- Why don’t you download the project .zip file from Overleaf and simply compile the project locally on your machine for a build?
- I’m confused about one thing.
It doesn’t follow to me, that since all clients are running their own simulation, Lua scripts must run on every client too.
If a client runs a Lua script, why can’t we just run it on their machine and propagate any game state changes (if the script adds an inserted, for example,) as if the player made those changes themselves?
What is it about Siri’s architecture that causes “Set bedroom light to 30%”, a command that worked for years, to randomly stops working on a random Tuesday with no OS update or home change?
I mean, what on earth are they doing on the back end…?
