When was this? In my school years, the lab Macs were garbage. But I’ve had much better experience with more recent Macs (though I’d prefer to not use them in general).
Mac OS is heavily Unix-based, it’s not a terrible operating system. But it is an awful user experience if you’re not used to it.
I think there’s a stark difference between crafting your own comfyui workflow, getting the right nodes and control nets and checkpoints and whatever, tweaking it until you get what you want, and someone telling an AI “make me a picture/video of X.”
The least AI-looking AI art is the kind that someone took effort to make their own. Just like any other tool.
Unfortunately, gen AI is a tool that gives relatively good results without any skill at all. So most people won’t bother to do the work to make it their own.
I think that, like nearly everything in life, there is nuance to this. But at the same time, we aren’t ready for the nuance because we’re being drowned by slop and it’s horrible.
That’s beautiful.
That’s understandable. It worked on me though. I was convinced Taln was going to want revenge. 🤣
I haven’t yet, but it’s been suggested to me ever since I read the Dungeon Crawler Carl series, so it’s on my list.
Possibly. Or just sloppy editing. I get the feeling ESPN doesn’t actually give a shit about F1 but know they ought to cover it or they’re leaving money on the table.
The move was decisive, with Norris reducing Piastri's title lead to three points.
C’mon, ESPN. It reduced Piastri’s lead by three points. It’s still a 22 point lead.
No! I saw it listed somewhere but I didn’t read it. Is it good?
I just reread that and Project Hail Mary, because I finally read Artemis and needed more Andy Weir. That man tickles exactly the right part of my brain.
Now I’m onto the Bobiverse series and loving it.
Other than the epigraph for the prologue, it is sort of the first line of the book. Because the part about Kalak is the “Prelude to the Stormlight Archive,” and after that the book says “Book One \n The Way of Kings” and then goes on to the prologue.
Right, so anything that might be used with other machines.
