What if there is no potential of the game making any money ? I am sure if a musician wants to create cover art they will give AI image generator a first pass.

It was always that way. You trade originality with convenience.

* It is fun and energizing to hunt with friends but it is convenient to buy stuff from supermarket.

* It is fun to talk and share but convenient to browse tv/phone

* It is fun to walk and run but convenient to drive

Technologically slowly takes us away from the real world and into this abstract convenient world.

AI just accelerated it.

In both the countries the researchers are Chinese.

Few facts to add color to different point of views:

- PG wants cheap labor so that we can get cheap/hard working employees for startups with a fear of deportation - Palmer cannot hire people on visas because they cannot easily clear security clearance that is required to work in Defense sector. Its better to align with current Government to get contracts.

That is the real reason. Immigrants are cheap and will work hard maybe at the cost of quality. Companies will to hire cheap or will outsource to cheaper countries. I think every generation had cheap foreign labor coming to America which fueled the growth. Right now it is H1b labor.

Data privacy and "unsafe" models are pretty valid reasons to use local models. If I want to generate violent images/text you cannot do that using cloud models.

Sadness is a symptom. Mind/Body is saying something is wrong and it needs to be changed. Medication just dulls the pain. It is not a solution. The real solution is changing the way of life so that it becomes more fulfilling.

Happiness is not a easy thing to achieve. You need to fix the body, eat right, exercise, control/watch your thoughts, let go of things beyond control, enjoy what is in front of you instead of chasing some imaginary future.

I'll take "toxic beliefs about the nobility of suffering" for 500, Alex!

Can you do their work if there is a nobody to help ? Can they do your work if there is nobody to help ? You are underestimating the amount of time/energy spent in developing the skill.

How about hard work + courage ? Without ability to take risk and potential failure it is very difficult to change your economic level. It is very naive to think that doing the same thing everyday will somehow change your economic level.

To switch an LLM you just need to open another browser tab and type in your chat query. You cannot say the same for any other kind of software. Traditional software have a large switching cost which acts as a barrier.

LLM providers are like airlines. You only need when you have travel and most of the time you go for the cheapest one. Maybe LLM providers should start providing reward points :) .
