Coca-Cola is back with another series of AI-generated ads to herald the holidays — and they look just as bad as they did last year.
What an expensive and ugly ad. People keep saying “ThIs iS ThE WoRsT AI WiLl EvEr bE,” and sure, but also, it’s absolutely terrible and pointless. Why would you ever want to take the time to make something this bad and put your name on it???
Based on a total cumulative deal value of up to $1.8tn, OpenAI is heading for a data centre rental bill of about $620bn a year — though only a third of the contracted power is expected to be online by the end of this decade.
The charts on this article are wild. I believe they’ve raised over $60 billion so far, so over the next five years they will 4x that—just to continue to lose money. And that’s assuming they double their paying user base. Obviously the intent for these companies is to find ways to
When I pressed Foody on his utopian vision, and why he thinks tech companies won’t hoard the spoils of the AI boom, he waved his hand and described a future in which everyone has $10 million in purchasing power, lives in a nice apartment, and works only if they want to.
Oh yeah, because every 22-year-old has vast experience of what it’s like at the workplace for all types of jobs across the country. Problem solved, everyone, you can now work when you want and buy anything you want! It’s getting ridiculous.
AI has blurred the line. Now, how we take, share, and create images has changed. Social media has made sharing images easy. Generative AI now creates any image we can imagine…By combining attested sensor data, zero-knowledge proofs, and a tamper-proof environment, we've built Roc Camera to capture verifiably real photos.
This is a technical solution for what I think is more of a social and cultural problem. It suggests a dystopian future where any form of media is assumed to be fake unless it is verified. I hope that trust and accountability can remain at the center
Sky is a product I actually thought could have some real utility. Security was always the issue though, and now that OpenAI controls them, I’m not sure I’d want OpenAI to be able to essentially see everything I do on my computer.
I think people who are high on Sora 2 as The Next Great Thing are giving the same energy as those who thought Clubhouse was going to kill podcasts a few years ago or that NFTs were actually a great idea and were totally not just a bubble that would immediately pop.
Yes, exactly. And this is why I always said people who have zero concerns about AI are living in the clouds. Financially, economically, environmentally, ethically, and culturally—there are major concerns across all five of these areas. And the people in charge of these companies don’t
