Same, early 50s and this is like the heyday of coding where you could rapidly iterate on things and actively make leaps and bounds of progress. Super fun.
I agree that it was a bit meh, maker faire with a small side of youtubers is an accurate description but overall I enjoyed it and there were definitely some cool booths. Saturday was also ridiculously busy making it hard to navigate and interact with folks, Sunday was much better in that regard.
Are there any examples of these types of reconstructions where the reconstruction has been performed blind on the skull of someone for which we have photos?
I've always had it somewhat but COVID late last year definitely kicked it up a notch for a while, it did fade back to essentially being unnoticeable after a couple of months though. Hope yours fades too, it's a nuisance for sure.
Perhaps we shouldn't expect these models to know everything about everything. What sources did you yourself use to learn this knowledge and did the training data incorporate them? It's a bit like asking a software engineer law questions, you can only draw from what you've studied. I feel as though what's missing is the ability for the model to understand what it doesn't know or cite sources. It's not like humans know everything either.
It wouldn't exist without a human actively creating/capturing it so doesn't seem as though that's an actual problem. Does a photograph involve significant human authorship - choosing a prompt or choosing to click the button on your DSLR is itself the act of authorship.
It does provide something for humans to do, a whole ecosystem is set to spring up employing millions of people churning out dirty limericks and jokes about religion. Tis a glorious future indeed.
The visceral feeling of walking into the heavy bass at Cream, a 90s nightclub in Liverpool, for the first time is something I'll never forget, and yeah much dancing ensued :)
