correction, you mean OBJECTIVELY hot women.

the top earners will be objectively hot. anyone that disagrees is technically wrong.

the bottom earners for a lack of a nicer term, would be "subjectively hot" lol.

no, they would become ultra super stars, now capable of being in multiple places at once. and they'd get royalties for being at each place.

They're focusing on the wrong things. Can they start working on replicating food from molecules like in Star Trek???

This is the thread to ponder where things will go from here. Because skilled labor won't be replaced by AI, but it will be augmented by it. Expertise may be replaced by it, to the point where if someone wants to do something that would normally require years of training, they can just go do it.

And if you look at it from a utopic perspective, this should lead to the elimination of the need for jobs and therefore currency. Think of it like Star Trek, where the pursuit of betterment is the goal of humanity, rather than trying to make ends meet.

Or it could go the other way, where the money gets focused more and more on a very tiny portion of the population. Governments become overrun by corporations, and people become even more slaves to money and consumership. This would be the Cyberpunk route.

Or the way I think it most likely will go, the climate reaches catastrophic levels, and can no longer really sustain most life. The only thing left will be cockroaches and bacteria, until it resets over the next few thousand years (or permanently stays that way, like Venus)

I remember many many years ago when AI is literally stuff from science fictions. We had a debate in class to discuss what we think will happen to the world once AI is a reality. We dream one day, AI would be doing all the dirty work. And us humans would be free to explore science, art, music etc

What we are actually getting

AI is doing science music all the creativity stuff.
Us human doing all the dirty work

So I finally got the Photoshop beta and... The results aren't magic lol

I took this random photo, and decided to see if it could put some extra tattoos on me



First attempt was draw around the entire hand, and generate a "rose tattoo"





OK what if I just wrote "tattoo"



That looks more like a tattoo, but it turned my hand into a burn victim's

It looks like the issue is I drew the selection area too big, so it's trying to change the hand itself. So let's select an area within the hand and try rose tattoo again



Umm I guess that could be a tattoo? Let's specify a black and grey tattoo





I tried various adjectives, like classic and old school, but it just couldn't do it.

On the other hand I took an old scanned photo and used it to easily remove fold marks and stuff like that.

So maybe it can generate a bowl of ice cream or a mountainscape easily, but a lot of other stuff, it's just totally useless, or will take a ton of work to get right.

Upload 30 photo's of yourself or another person and I will train a model. Now you can be anywhere in the world doing anything. Wanna show your IG followers you are in France no problem. On a mega yacht in the Caribbean easy. Now anyone can be a social media influencer.

The site charges $30 a month for 1000 pics but there are free open source methods out there.

Turning into a believer now... Well when you use it right. My wife came home stressed with a ton of extra work to do that she couldn't take care of during the day. Basically she has to write all the descriptions on the dogs they have for adoption, and they have been piling up. She doesn't really like to write, so it's tough for her... AI to the rescue!

I ask her for each dog's name, size, and any notes on their personality.. Get Chat GPT to write each one, and BOOM, hours of not difficult but tedious work done in minutes. It takes a few goes to nail down the process, but once you do, it's actually pretty impressive.

Seems good!

An AI company just released a AI generated episode of South Park. The first half is pretty good.
