Why not? You have far more results to review.

If you run a model on slower hardware are you getting more experience? Surely its a factor of model output reviewed and not human time.

Blender 5.2 LTS 3 days ago

I wish Blender was more popular but for the game industry I still think Maya and even Houdini are more common in my circles.

That said, Blender is respected. I think it'll get there but still has to battle through momentum.

Have you ever played Cards Against Humanity or Apples to Apples?

Its not so much that the juxtaposition on its own is hilarious. You have to build a scenario. It's fun to imagine funny scenarios.

Is the cart for a person who wants to treat themselves and these are their priorities? Is it a very specific mating ritual?

It's a writing prompt for your imagination. In reality almost all of these are surely very mundane repurchases but that's not the point.

Maybe they're sales hires. Hiring influential folks gets them aligned with your business. It means you get their Roladex and tap into their network. They can poach good people. They can convince folks to buy into Claude. If they were able to fund Uber for dogs they could probably pitch AI just fine.

How many times have you heard a C-level person say "I was just meeting with a bunch of my C-level friends and they're all talking about how AI is the future. We should look into this Claude thing"?

That's not how productivity works. Unless you're selling your one off scripts, that's not where the business sees productivity.

Can you make a connection down to the bottom line? Are your one off scripts actually impacting production speeds in a tangible way such that the product is made faster or cheaper?

Being able to crank out slicker internal tech debt for shims isn't really what the business owners are after.

Would you say these are all of equivalent, top notch, quality? I can't say I know that for certain.

Used to be you could use website polish and a few other surface level things to gauge the amount of effort that went into these types of things. Now that is easily finished LLMs. In a similar way, one of the biggest impacts of kick-starter now that the smoke has cleared is the aggressive evolution and refinement of the 3 minute pitch video.

Whether that actually translates into well thought through implementations and road-maps, and real momentum, I can't say.
