To be fair, I think the majority of stand up comedians are also painful to listen to.

But you’re right, this is an exaggerated caricature of reality, like Monty Python or the Three Stooges but far less so.

Indeed, it turns out that high quality content is high effort, and therefore has a weaker ROI. I know it’s simply game theory, I just hate this particular game.

When will humans stop enjoying painfully staged videos like this? Like, who tilts the object away from themself but towards the camera to check why it’s not working?

I use single window mode but it still does not stop modal dialogs from popping up in the stupidest places on my dual monitor setup.

Maybe? It looks like it’s tuned towards generative use cases. Sometimes you need to just edit a photo really quickly and setting up a bunch of nondestructive nodes seems like more of a hassle than help.

But hopefully I’m wrong! This is the first I’ve heard of the project.

I’d really love if somebody would give GIMP the Blender treatment. It’s very good software but some of the UI paradigms are quite outdated. All their floating windows and dialogs do not work well on multiple screens.

Agreed, numpy really could/should be built in.

Why would it be a bad sign that the language has built in tools for common things you need to do?

Glad that Stability AI is being thrown under the bus. They have been making terrible decisions lately.

Ironically pirating is the only way you can actually own (instead of license) software these days.

No certifications, no degrees, just good, old fashioned 15 years of experience.

Where there’s a horny mob of nerds, there’s a way.

True, but it hardly matters for the source since the architecture is pulled into open source projects like transformers (Apache) and llama.cpp (MIT). The weights remain under the dubious Llama Community License, so I would only call the data “available” instead of “open”.

Yo dawg I heard you liked gatekeeping so I got you a gate to keep your gatekeepers.

I really like the architecture of Pixart… I hope they release something amazing that can show Stability who’s boss.

LLMs are notorious yes-men. Why would you ever use that for diagnosis? Just use bespoke classifiers like we have for years.

Studio Trigger has been their spiritual successor for a while now anyway.

Nothing, just use a good tool for the job, whatever that job requires.

Tech like this will someday help solo illustrators make feature length films. I really want to live in that world.

Right on, this looks very promising and I’m happy it’s finally breaking off from the original project.
