Quad Cortex Development Update #48 - PCOM beta

Some sobering comments from the “Godfather of AI” in this ‘60 Minutes’ piece.
Along with the potential benefits there are also some very dire possible outcomes. Ranging from massive disinformation campaigns, millions of jobs being eliminated, to SkyNet (Terminator) scenarios at the dystopian post-apocalyptic end of the spectrum. Buy hey, we’ll probably get some awesome modelers out of it before then.

Love Rick Beato’s videos! Great musician but what truly stands out for me is he is one of the most respectful interviewers I have ever seen. Listens more than he talks and that makes for some real revelations from many a top-notch musician.

We’re far from on-topic now but what do you rather see? AI generated art that takes a few or less seconds to generate, trained on data from the best that humankind produced or the real thing?

I mean…

versus

I’ve seen Rembrandt’s The Night Watch in person. There is absolutely no comparison.

I prefer the dog and cat

Let them cook…
Or as GNR would say:
“Said, woman take it slow It’ll work itself out fine
All we need is just a little patience”

But some communication along the lines of “ah shit, sorry we found bugs that need to be fixed, we won’t make it in q2” would have been nice to see.

It’s like you lot set reminders for when you need to come and complain :roll_eyes:

What part of “We are hoping to release by the end of the month” did you not get?

Get out more, go play your guitar, go for a walk, drink a beer, whatever you need to relax.

When I was in sales and I told my customer I was hoping to get something for him by a certain timeframe and then that wasn’t going to happen I Iet them know and why. But that’s just me I guess.

I agree. More communication when this close to a goal that’s been stated multiple times would be nice.

It’s been ONE day. Technically not even that as it’s not “next month” until Monday.

All manner of things might have happened yesterday, or during the week. We don’t know.

Have some patience and remember they owe you nothing at all.

They probably just forgot to release it. I mean, that has to be it, right? Someone should remind them? Probably slipped their mind

I always owed my customers to be kept informed and to under promise and over deliver. But’s that’s just me I guess.

I would have loved to be the fly on the wall when they knew it would not be released by the end of the last business day of the month they were “hoping” for and the discussions as to whether to say anything or just keep everyone in the dark.

It won’t be released on the weekend, especially given their track record. Stop making out like people are being unreasonable by not holding them to their promises. You know they don’t work on a weekend, it’s a business.

Don’t defend them for using weasel words like a politician. It’s a tactic to give them room to not take responsibility.
