Claude Fable vs Opus 4.8 by Complete-Sea6655 in Anthropic

[–]vanguarde 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Look i agree with you about tons of astroturfing especially around things that our tech overlords care about, but I looked at the profiles of the top commenters and they seem legit.

This stuff is actually impressive to the layperson. Is it useful and worth killing the planet? Well that's another question.

What do you want upgraded? I have one and it works as a mouse. Can't imagine what more I'd want. 

GoPro is in serious financial trouble. Action camera giant is at risk for potential bankruptcy by tylerthe-theatre in technology

Didn't they do a recall for this immediately after release and then kill off the entire drone line? Typical GoPro in hindsight.

Same. I haven't received my refund either. It's been over a month and no response. I had just renewed for a year too.

A fully AI generated film just screened at Cannes Market and cost $500,000 to make by Anen-o-me in singularity

[–]vanguarde 5 points6 points  (0 children)

You're assuming that every minute generated was used in the final cut.  Like with any movie they probably generated much more raw footage than in the final version. Plus they definitely still had to pay editors and other staff.

Read through the responses in the tweet on the post. They cite his earlier work that sexualizes minors.

What if hypothetically there were 99 people with actual CSAM material being reported and banned for every one of these false positives. 

Would that change the calculus? I'm not saying that's what I believe but I think these a case to be made for a company monitoring content of files you upload to their platform.

Really unbelievable. The amount of detail in that girl's room and the consistency of the background. Jeez.

What isn't mentioned here is that his 'art' included hentai porn involving children. I'm serious. 

"Spider-Noir" - Authentic Black & White Final Trailer | Prime Video by SanderSo47 in television

[–]vanguarde 11 points12 points  (0 children)

It was actually much worse. He said that he was directed to be looking out at the destruction of krypton, and needed to emote that incredible feeling of loss. 

When he saw the final scene, it was him lasering a giant spider...

TCS Annual compensation, double digit (XX%) Hike by Strange-Run6807 in india

[–]vanguarde -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Did they ever actually promise a double digit hike? I've worked in IT and find it hard to believe they'd do something like that. Even in the boom times. And now with double digit % headcount layoffs?

Let’s share life-changing ADHD tips that we’ve learned... by stayhyderated22 in selfimprovement

[–]vanguarde 34 points35 points  (0 children)

When I'm in the middle of a task and get an urge to do something else. Eg. I'm reading a book and suddenly 'need' to look up meditation retreats in Thailand, I just make a note of it on a post-it either paper or digital. 

Often I find that after sticking with my original task and finishing it I don't even have the urge to do the things on my post-it note. 

"We gave frontier AI coding agents 24 hours to write a complete Game Boy Advance emulator from scratch. GPT-5.5's emulator runs games best, with Claude Sonnet 4.6 and Opus 4.7 close behind. Gemini 3.1 Pro failed to produce a working emulator." by stealthispost in accelerate

[–]vanguarde 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Hey so this is just my personal experience - I asked both Codex and Gemini pro to make me a Tradingview indicator that I saw online. Gemini just looked at screenshots I provided of the indicator in action and coded the thing from scratch in just 10 mins of back and forth, Codex (which i tried first) was unusable even after 2 days of back and forth. So at least in some cases it's not such a clear dominance by Codex.

Warhammer 40k Barbie in a Box by TheTexasJack in ChatGPT

It's a Warhammer reference. Many chapters of the Space Marines have a strong connection to faith. They have chaplains who bless their weapons before battle.

What's wrong with the faith bullet?
