[original poster] For which parts do you feel cringe?

[concerned commenter] Replied in PM.

Here's mine.

First they came for the eyeballs, and I said nothing.

“Latecomer’s guide to creating an AI girlfriend”in this Sunday’s NYT magazine.

I’m starting to think that this Sam Altman guy just might be a giant asshole.

I wasn't aware that they made Paolo the CEO until reading this article. Initially I thought Amy made a typo and had to google it. I guess JVL was sick of doing all of those media appearances /s.

Sorry for that. It was funnier in my head.

Come on, her voice sounds like garbage.

I have a business idea for him. Small batch alcohol produced by harvesting ethanol produced by this bacteria found in Aella’s teeth scrapings. Call it Mutella 1140, the official alcohol shot of rationalist orgies.

"cozy/spaciousness"

The Danes do not have a term for this, but if they did, it might be* hyggelig dimensioner*. A good name for an oversized couch at Ikea. Also, the Danes would not include "whiteboards everywhere" as part of cozy, warm, intellectual conversation, but hey.

This is the greatest ad for Twitter ever, hosting content like this. God damn that is amazing.

Their comments section just never fails to deliver ... something.

Online communities with reasonable debate are under attack by state actors, HN is no exception. In this context, no matter how well meaning the proposal is, opening an avenue for acrimony here is not something we can afford.

At least this dead hedge fund guy has a wikipedia "controversies" section as a legacy. I wonder if a genius mathematician could figure out a way to enrich his friends and family while the markets took a dump.

According to The Wall Street Journal in May 2009, Simons was questioned by investors on the dramatic performance gap of Renaissance Technologies' portfolios. The Medallion Fund, which has been available exclusively to current and past employees and their families, surged 80% in 2008 in spite of hefty fees; the Renaissance Institutional Equities Fund (RIEF), owned by outsiders, lost money in both 2008 and 2009; RIEF declined 16% in 2008.

I thought that the overproduction and heavy autotune was appropriate to the subject.

On topic:

Don't forget Tiffany. Chick got a 13 carat diamond engagement ring from her fellow lucky sperm club member billionaire husband.

Why is Patrick McKenzie attending this, I wonder?

Decoding the Gurus did an episode on this stuff. Imagine anti-vax hipsters with extreme vocal fry and self-diagnosis of autism.

His Twitter bio says that he's "helping a billion people." That's quite a flex!

Here's molly white's thread on nitter.

Passwords are in plain text. Payment information does not display credit card information. Payment information displays preferred payment method (e.g. PayPal, Credit Card, Debit Card) and currency used (e.g. CAD, USD).

People actually pay money for the fucking Post Millennial.

I tried very hard to use co-pilot for a quick logo creation task. CLL Consulting is a fake company name. I put in quotes like Microsoft suggested, but my output was not as smooth as the Microsoft TV commercial.

(on edit - when you hit the buttons on screen for "change the style of this logo to ___" like watercolor or whatever, it spells it in new and different ways)

Did they claim the video was unedited Sora output?

This is the article that I read at launch:

Has generative video’s problem with faces and hands been solved? Not quite. We still get glimpses of warped body parts. And text is still a problem (in another video, by the creative agency Native Foreign, we see a bike repair shop with the sign “Biycle Repaich”). But everything in “Air Head” is raw output from Sora. After editing together many different clips produced with the tool, Shy Kids did a bunch of post-processing to make the film look even better. They used visual effects tools to fix certain shots of the main character’s balloon face, for example.
