No it’s not even sexy, and it’s the only idiom I can think of that uses shovel in this context. It makes absolutely no sense

In French the slang term for that is “rouler des pelles” , which means literally “to roll shovels” and… I mean what the fuck is up with that?

I think the real shocker was the step change between 3 and 4, and the hope that another step change was soon to come. It’s pretty telling that the latest batch of models was fine tuned for vibes and “empathy” rather than raw performance. They’re not getting the next a-ha moment and want to focus their customers on unquantifiables.

It seems logical that this would negatively impact performance and, well, looks like it did.

Nah the 500B$ is for building data centers. Well, it would be if that money existed but the truth is it was just an empty announcement.

The companies involved don’t have that kind of money, even pooled together.

I don’t know any AI artists (as in someone who prompts a model and then calls the result a work of art), although most traditional artists i know have come to incorporate AI one way or another in their process.

You don’t really hear about it because it’s all intermediate material used during the production phase. For example, as a hobbyist writer, one thing i struggle with is writing action scenes cause i don’t have visual memory and i tend to forget a lot about continuity and “spatial realism” (“this guy starts in this corner of the room so there’s no way he could grab that object at that point”, shit like that). With AI I can generate some kind of “story board” of my scene, which helps me write it much better. It’s just laid out visually in front of me and i catch a lot more details.

Sometimes when i’m toying with an idea i’ll also have a model generate a few variations on it, with different points of view, writing style, focus etc… Even if the writing is mediocre, it gives me a really good idea of how each version could pan out, and whether an angle works or not. I’ll then select the angle that works best and rewrite it entirely from scratch.

There’s nothing innovative about it, people have been using assistants to avoid tedious work forever. It’s just that before AI you had to, you know, be rich and able to actually pay for the labor.
