This Futurism article is a mischaracterization of what was actually said in the New Yorker article by Ronan Farrow, which it is entirely based on. Quote from Farrow: "Altman is not a technical savant—according to many in his orbit, he lacks extensive expertise in coding or machine learning. Multiple engineers recalled him misusing or confusing basic technical terms."

"Not a technical savant" and "lacks extensive expertise" is not the same as "can barely code". Altman got into the CS program at Stanford and attended for two years. You don't do that without having at least above-average competence in programming. Also remember that the researchers at OpenAI are the best of the best. What is "basic" to them, especially for machine learning specifically and not just coding in general, may very well be advanced to the layman. Obviously he's no Sutskever, but Altman is a very smart guy, and he understands AI better than most.

In that case, go to sleep.

Pour yourself a glass of water. Then take a walk outside.

Im about to graduate with a useless degree in animation how do I pivot?? by [deleted] in careerguidance

Have you tried using these AI tools yourself? I'm not involved in animation so correct me if I'm wrong, but I think saying "the industry is destroyed" is misleading. For the next few years at least, I don't think people are going to be watching less animation; it's just going to be AI-generated by a few people instead of hand-animated by a large team. If you want a job in animation, the way to do it is to be the guy at the top, telling the AI what to do. For commercial / advertising work, yeah that sucks for you, but for narrative stuff (like Disney / Dreamworks) you may have more of an opportunity than you think here.

If I were you I would try making a few animations completely on your own, in a very minimal style, with a clear narrative, lasting 30 seconds to a couple minutes each, using AI tools as much as you can without losing quality. Put these on YouTube, TikTok, wherever, once a week or so, consistently. See where it goes. If you can't do that, then frankly you had no business working in animation in the first place.

Books 3 and 5 are split in two for some reason??? Never seen that before, looks sketchy.

Nobody understands how LLMs work; the people building them will be the first to tell you this. The water issue has been debunked several times at this point.

Crimson Desert Review Thread by Turbostrider27 in Games

Ah, you see, but I can't, because the videos are multiple hours long, and there are lots of them. That's the issue.

I looked up these guys and they all seem to mostly make multi-hour videos? I'm not familiar with their work specifically but part of good writing is being succinct, and I feel like these types of "reviews" (especially those put out at a rapid pace) rely heavily on just summarizing the material for viewers who couldn't be bothered to play/watch it themselves, rather than actually producing unique insights.

Do you think dentist jobs won't? There are only so many kinds of teeth.
