First off, I'm not getting in the middle of whatever squabbles some of you have with grafician, but good grief... the concerted effort to downvote anything he posts - several posts of which I see posted here, is ridiculous. He has literally posted links here that had anyone else posted, they'd be upvoted. Everything he's posted here is relevant to AI, and is mostly free from literally any perspective of his own that some of you are always hellbent on tearing apart. Some of his posts are just links, or quotes... and all downvoted.
So can some of you just like... chill?

Utopian, that 60 Minutes segment is really something. The video art that guy is making... seeing that in person would be incredible.I think that was a well justified and rewarding use of AI. It's something that with a non-AI approach could probably be created, but would take so much longer. I can't even imagine. That's where it's fun to see AI pushed to the limit to bring to life some outrageous vision that feels brand new.
I like that the one woman talked about the ethics of AI theft, image training, etc. It feels so long ago already that it was fun for a while to use Midjourney, etc. and say "make something in this style" but I'm glad I tired of it quickly. The novelty wore off fast.

FUCK ADOBE!
I subscribed to Adobe stock unlimited MONTHLY for a couple video projects, thinking "I'll just get my stock clips for this job and unsubscribe next month". Noooo sir, I failed to read the fine print and am stuck for the year unless I pay a $700 cancelation fee.
I realize that's on me but shit, I thought I scanned pretty thoroughly all that minutiae for verbiage like that. Fuuck!
- Adobe is mental.PhanLo
- Is it even worth cancelling at this point?CyBrainX
- No, might as well keep it now until cancelation fee is waived, likely 6 or more months :(letterhead

Our eldest daughter has accepted a job offer closer to home, full-time, double the salary, promotion opportunities, ongoing training... Amazing!
The only catch? A three-month trial period (paid), and she loses her previous job.
A mix of happiness and nerves!
*Obviously, I'm the one who's nervous.
- 3 months 'probation' is pretty standard in the UKMorning_star
- It seems like a lot to me, but I can't be objective. It's for a clinic, so it'll probably be standard...OBBTKN
- I'm sure she'll make it through with flying colours. Congratulations to both you and her.Morning_star
- Thanks!OBBTKN
- Nice!!!PonyBoy
- Keep previous job - 3 months trial is a joke in this economy sorrygrafician
- She knows. But her previous job offered no room for growth, but this one does; she's young, she can still take risks.OBBTKN
- The trial period thing is something I'd only accept if I didn't have a full time job to begin with. That's a shit policy.CyBrainX
- It also nullifies their credibility as a company of fair business practice.CyBrainX
- Apparently she knows :(grafician
- A trial should only be 2-3 weeks. Also anyone can get laid off any time for no fault. Double salary and more potential = Go for it.bainbridge

I want to hitchhike around Ireland listening to The Smiths. I miss the melancholy of my teenage years when I lived for skateboarding and a pack of Camel Lights.

Saw Ricky Gervais' latest special yesterday. Sure, he's still funny (IMO). Sure, I chuckled.
You know, I'm not a big fan of political correctness. However, comedians complaining about wokeness has become as tedious as wokeness itself. It seems so stale and 5 years ago. It went from being a rebellious breath of fresh air to being kinda smug, self-absorbed and arrogant and thus, unfunny.
It goes for people like Dave Chappelle, too. He's become pretty meh. Some people call him the GOAT, and now he refers to himself as such. Drinking your own Kool-Aid is a really bad sign.
Next!
- Can't watch Chappelle any more, too preachy and self important. I loved old self-deprecating Chappelle didn't take himself or anything too seriously. weed proba_niko
- probably fucked him up. Just angry and cynical, I just feel bad for him._niko

I joined a free 14 day trial on Monday so a group of us can communicate and project manage each other instead of using email, what's app, messages and god knows what else.
works great, it's herding the cats.
only problem is that they want $150/month for the 4 of us to use it lolz.
fuck that.
I'm pretty sure with an hour's effort I can create a simplified one with chatGTp or Claude.
Yay or nay?
- Do it!! I hate the subscription model with every fiber of my being, been killing them all lately with free alts, though i'm stuck with Adobe cuz workYakuZoku
- YAY!Salarrue

AI on the day to day?
I got the most AI job enquiry yet on Friday - it was almost beyond parody, it was so mangled and ridiculous.
Potential Client kept chasing me over the weekend so I wrote her a blunt, but polite email this morning when I came back in and a hopefully instructive response about why I would not be taking such a job on.
The image assets she'd generated were basically impossible to create, especially using the processes I (or anyone who does what I do) am able to offer, and the language of the brief was just awful hyper-American corporatism. It was a farce.
Never mind the fact that she wanted what would have been anyway a very complicated costing 'by monday morning latest', having sent the thing at 4pm on a Friday evening. Red Flags All The Way Down.
I kept thinking about the effort chain, equating it to about a couple of inches worth of prompting, resulting in a couple of feet's worth of 'brief', necessitating a mile's worth of costing and effort at my end. Basically it was just kicking actual thouhg and effort down the road.
Not much looking forward to this becoming the new normal.
.
Amusing thing was that her first email response to my immediate dismissal before explanation was clearly written by her (non-native ESL, and the email was perfectly fine), but she obviously distrusted herself so she sent the same as an AI-fluffed follow up a few minutes later and it was just... bilge.
- you can't really blame her when the ads show some idiot getting his presentation done by copilot, or some other numpty having his holiday planned by chatgpt.hans_glib
- the techbros continue to lie us about how great their fourth rate autoscrapers are, and the credulous lap it up.hans_glib
- it's like black and decker saying "our drill will build your house for you"hans_glib
- there may be sum underestimation in the effects AI will have in the near-mid term. https://www.citrinir…keewee
- Working a project request to data engineer a project that was clearly a long AI-response, straight pasted into a job ticket.cotton
- Unapologetic attempt to outsource thinking to AI from the head of operations, planning to build strategy on the output which is flawed from the prompt.cotton
- So no AI will take your job :))grafician
- The fact people just try is hilarious
Then please attack me when I call then idiotsgrafician - Them*grafician
