RS does not have big social media presence. Here is an ad I did for the Richmond night market. It got the year wrong but the rest is pretty good for somthing that took less than 2 minutes.

This one is better: https://ai-demo.waymark.com/preview/...4-6b6390c9468c

IMO, before we create an AI that's smarter than humans and overtake us as the dominant species on earth, we should be more focus on the jobs it's going to replace.

The genie is out of the bottle and there's no turning back. With so much money invested in AI, it's only a matter of time that we would have AIs capable of doing basic/simple jobs as good as, if not better, than human.

If you thought illegal immigrant stealing local's job is bad, wait until the AI comes.

The Vancouver Ted talk is known for showcasing impressive technology, but this latest invention truly surpasses them all. Introducing a compact and wireless AI wearable projector that doesn't require a screen, its most outstanding feature is the remarkable ability to translate in real-time using your own voice. If the demo is any indication, this innovation could eradicate language barriers completely. The device is so unobtrusive that all you see in the video is a tiny object affixed to the presenter's shirt, although some may be skeptical of its actual size.

lol it seems like me and skinnypupp have something in common.

anyone that is into oneironautics (to the ability to travel within a dream on a conscious basis), and has enough experience recording and exploring their dreams will immediately realise that AI generates these images through the same mechanism.

way back in the day when google deep mind or deep dream or whatever it was called was generating those psychedelic images that have a buncha recognizable shapes and patterns (buildings, or dogs or whatever)... the mechanism is the same.

it can start with static and once it sees some pattern it recognizes, it can keep refining that until it is whatever final form it has come to be.

in real life, things cannot morph, you can look at a box on the ground all you like and look away and look back, it will never change. it will never change even if you're scared or happy, your emotions do not affect it (unless you're schizo).

in a dream, things morph based on your perception. your emotions, your intent and your beliefs.

that box on the ground can become something terrorizing if you're naturally paranoid and perceive and assume danger around you all the time. it can become a bomb, or suddenly shuffle as if there were a monster underneath. it can even morph into something horrible.

in the dream things continually morph because there is no actual thing there, there is only you and your perception, emotions and intent. its a feedback loop.

with these AI generated images and films, we give it parameters which are solid, and then it keeps morphing things based on the rules we give it.

much like a lucid dream, one who is good at lucid dreaming, can give the unconscious parameters (a cool car, or a hot chick or whatever you desire), and it will eventually appear somehow.

the mechanism is also very similar to psychedelic visuals.

you can also google the Ganzfeld Effect... where people tape half pingpong balls over their eyes and listen to static sounds, and lay there. you'll start to hallucinate as your brain tries to pick up patterns from the "soft white static" u see. and also you'll hear hallucinations as well. this is also the exact same mechanism described above in dreams, AI, schizophrenia, and psychedelics.

THAT BEING SAID.

I highly welcome the domination of AI in all sectors.

people losing their jobs to AI is a great sign of what is to come.

god created man in his image, man created ai in his image. It will do what we do best... and unfortunately worst.

I'm sure it'll get better with time, but even humans have issues drawing hands properly.
nah man, that article is from march, it's may now, the AI has evolved fast enough to fix that problem.

if you've been following these AI generated images, it's evolving at an exponential rate, 1 year ago they were so shitty, now they're hyper realistic.

hands were a problem a few months ago, now they're almost perfect.

Don't recall the last time I made it through an hour "talk" show, this one brings up so many categories of the future I had no idea about.

Security, verification, and identification is going off a steep cliff

and like humans, some humans are smarter than their bosses but still have to work for them.

and some others are lucky to command others.

so will AI. you cannot view AI as "one entity". there will be many, just like there are many of us.

who you work for, is a series of deterministic and sometimes unfortunate circumstances. AI cannot escape these same circumstances.

Women in media: "We are all equally beautiful inside and out!"

Subjectively hot women: "We can make $100k a week just showing our tits and ass while having a robot talk in our voice to lonely people, good luck with your books and science fuggs!!!"

On that basis does that mean at some point all the hugely overpaid entertainers of most genres will be made redundant? Since presumably AI will be able to whip you up say a show about whatever you want starring whoever you want? Though I can only blame them so much for being overpaid, we put way too much value on shitty entertainment.

Wait until they get better with video. I wand to run all Joe Rogan podcasts thru AI and make a talking head AI that you could ask questions and I would give you Rogans opinion on it.

Someone took a scene from the boys and made into a Disney style animation. Took him 2 weeks but says it could be done faster. it's only a matter of time before your favourite movie is a cartoon.

The shadow/lighting work is pretty impressive on that, lighting/shadows fall on the faces where they'd be expected to.

It's crazy how fast this stuff is moving from that perspective.
