OpenAI says it has proof that Deepseek used its work without permission to create something meant to undermine and destroy its product.
On behalf of all the authors whose novels and stories were taken as training data, oh no that must be so hard for you.

When the bubble pops, and it will, you’re not just looking at a few Johnny-come-lately companies shuttering. This is a load-bearing delusion. The entire tech industry is fucked because they all bought in, every VC firm bought in, investors have everything in it. They need to make you like it.
Look: The thing you need to understand about genAI is that every Next Big SV Thing of the last 15 years—NFTs, Web3, Metaverse, VR—has been utterly rejected by the market and the tech grifters know this is their last chance, no more. That’s why there is an apocalyptic level of capital invested in it.

I made a mini Isle of the dead!
It's a mix of hand-made stuff and 3d printed details.
The 3d printed architecture stuff (barely visible) was made in blender, while the boat and figures are a remix of collected STLs including a virgin Mary freebie

Twice a week now a Silicon Valley company issued a press release like, “We have invented a new technology. It’s only use is for crime. Accordingly, we are all now billionaires.”
A new OpenAI tool can recreate human voices — from just a 15-second recording. The technology, called Voice Engine, is currently available only to a small group of early testers. nyti.ms/3TGZIyS

One other vexing thing about this is that, because the label of AI has been slapped on these generative models, when the bubble bursts and investors get burned, any chance of actual progress towards meaningful AI will be set back a generation.
Today's newsletter: I believe we're reaching peak AI, and that the industry is going to crash to Earth as enterprises and consumers realize the limits and lack of utility of ChatGPT and co.
And it's all thanks to Sam Altman's empty hype cycle.

Just a reminder :)
Jpeg loses fidelity and is correct for online publication only
Tiff does not lose fidelity but reads poorly on web browsers so it is correct for print only
RGB is for online, CMYK is for print
Highly saturated and luminous greens/cyan do not print.

My first question when doing writing editorial is some version of "tell me about what you want this to be, and what you're not sure is helping it be that" because it's not about making it more like my taste, it's about making it the best version of itself.
When I do a critique with a friend, I ask them what they like about their own work and how they’d like to adjust or accomplish something new. The process is usually about figuring out how to identify, articulate, and then address their goals. What I like or dislike never figures into that process. 🤷

You will be shocked, shocked to hear that "The Theory That Men Evolved to Hunt and Women Evolved to Gather Is Wrong"! 🙄 Duh! OF COURSE IT'S WRONG. But now there's a cool article listing the biological and evidentiary reasons, along with nifty diagrams.

If you ever want to get lost in a fascinating archive of consumer aesthetic categories you forgot how clearly you remembered, or find some granular era-specific textural inspiration, the Consumer Aesthetics Research Institute is an incredible rabbit hole: cari.institute/aesthetics

Honestly I never want to see the word "disrupt" used in the context of any specific industry because it inevitably means "destroy that sector's middle-class to more efficiently funnel money to the already-rich"
