I don't think anyone is really dismissing it, just pointing out the audacity of complaining about distillation after stealing so much themselves is comical.

why does this page have a fake loading indicator and its all just text, it's not even loading anything.

This is unironically soulful though.

Clocked this a while ago, crazy how the smell of the same model they're using is so distinct that entire areas of town are starting to look homogenous.

Someones definitely going to write a think piece about how this erases aesthetic identity of cities and cultures.

Looks like absolute ass too, easily beaten even by something designed by someone completely naive to design/art, good sign of a place to avoid.

Quik & Silva was a banger, noticed a bootleg sonic was in it as a kid but had no idea about that fact. Amazing soundtrack too https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WXtT3L0zEqs

Something special about growing up with an Amiga instead of just a mainstream console because a lot of the games were opinionated creations from individuals that went viral through physical disk copies rather than everything just coming from a corporation.

I am personally surprised the Chinese state continues to allow the open sourcing of models this good

Writer seems to have no clue how IP actually functions in China

It probably was distilled but the point is why is that an issue at all, Claude is just distilled from all our work. Why is stealing our work fine but stealing Anthropic's work bad.

Anyone doing so should have zero guilt because it was already stolen goods to begin with.

They train in false information about Taiwan and Hong Kong. Or pretend like history is in favor of China.

American labs can open their models or their old models at any point if they actually care about this, but until the day OG GPT 4 isn't averrable to download or Claude 3 then they're only pretending to care about this because they can profit from restrictions.

I just don't really understand the business model behind it

There’s a lot of value in the same sense there is a lot of value in controlling what Google search results are shown and what people see in the Twitter feed.

This quote sounds like it’s about companies building products on AI to serve a tweaked or harnessed version of that to others not the developers in those companies model of choice for coding.

Mozilla invests more time in being a foundation than software so makes sense their donations are higher.

Appears to be Public Domain games, sort of thing you'd get on magazine disks

Better than my experience with it, just says:

Failed to complete sign up. Try again later.

Don't see why we have to have this spammed every model release when Fable class models perform the same as Opus on basic tasks like these.

FPGA is reprogrammable, ASIC only does one thing forever.

Krita is way better, but yeah this is part of the issue GIMP is so established many never suggest Krita. It even passed my mind writing my response.

Read the adjustment layer feature request thread from 20+ years ago

So weird to re-use the name of something so iconic.

Why would you call your company Thinking Machines if you believe this, by calling them that you're already framing them as replacing the human act of thinking.

Feels like they appropriated the name first, then pivoted ideologically to differentiate themselves from everyone else.

World would be in a better place if GIMP hadn't ever existed, the existence of GIMP is part of why we don't have an actual viable alternative. Constant claims of "good enough", 20+ years to implement adjustment layers after dismissing their value for many years a team that doesn't really care at all about it.

If GIMP had never existed maybe the Blender team or someone else who actually has passion for the problem would have made the Linux image editor and we'd be in such a better place.

you can get out of the lock in by switching your plan then theres a two week window you can cancel without a fee.

Not that you should have to do that, I'm just letting you know that you can so they don't get a fee from you.

This software is rotting, was trying to edit frames of a gif this week and the previews are just broken in the timeline on Mac, literally had to boot up my PC, sign in which required restarting photoshop 3 times it just straight up closed itself each part of the process (once to sign out, once to sign in and once to actually use it signed in). Luckily the timeline still works on Windows but completely broken on MacOS so if you're Mac only you can no longer use Photoshop to remove frames from a gif and who knows what other software you should use instead for that thanks to Photoshop monoculture.

understand and commit for life to the Ethics of their profession

Nah this is just pushed on you to disempower you. If you take trade secrets elsewhere lawyers will be used to attack you.

Speaking of lawyers when they move practices they take their IP with them, funny that.

If you read the techbique it reads like something far less remarkable being PR’d to sound like a big deal.

The fact it’s bucketing by making images of lighting and facial expressions, the fact it doesn’t natively do the video it does an image then video generates from it.

The results look really bad and samey. Doubt this would work for the actual thing they’re pitching it for.

Game looks amazing from a solo dev but this article is terrible, like the journo didn't even play the game they just watched the game.

Just so blatant that this was paid or bargained into existence, EU is a compromised system.

Recently got Tetris Grand Master 4 and played it with an arcade stick insanely satisfying to play that way and with that ruleset and kinda ruined other versions/input methods for me.

Until recently it was the one single time in my entire computers livespan I would paste the curl command into the terminal then everything else would be through package manager.

Now thanks to claude code etc it's been normalized that everyones doing it and normies who shouldn't be doing it are getting used to doing it.

Said in the post, if they're savvy enough to inspect an install script they can click and download a binary for their OS, chmod +x and move to whatever bin they want.

Although really something like this you unproven you should compile it.

Having an install script that you paste into the terminal and all it does is download a binary and stick it in a folder is wild.

If your users are savvy enough to be running random scripts they shouldn't need a script to do this and if they're not savvy enough to understand how to do that then the last thing they should be doing on earth is running a random terminal command off a website.
