No "expert" knows how to do something that has not already been done.

The experts didn't think that you could have a commercial rocket company either.

As with any big project, you have to work hard, try and fail a lot, and eventually you figure things out.

They're all contributing.

And people were often dissing the works of the rich from the 20s, resulting in them often doing charitable works without attaching their names to the work.

In any case, most of the wealth of the "top 400" is just inflated valuations.

No one is aiming to terraform Mars.

The practical choice is to build one self-sustaining town / city as a starting point.

A kind of mix of Democrat and Republican talking points.

Some of that might even be doable.

In comparison, Google inserts SynthID into every frame of Veo 2+ generation.

Not that that's impossible to destroy either. But it won't get destroyed by casual editing.

Their public SynthID Detector is still in a waitlisted beta for some reason though.

I rechecked, and it turns out that OpenAI's tracking outside of the easily removable watermark is:

1. C2PA metadata - also easily removable.
2. The ability to do reverse image searches to identify Sora 2 content.
3. No digital fingerprinting.

And they haven't released a public tool for #2... smh.

Digital watermarks would be different from the visible ones.

The API doesn't put on the visible ones.

I could be wrong, of course. But I would assume that they're adding digital watermarks to track Sora 2 content.

Would be interesting if someone made a channel and posted cleaned up versions of everything he said.

The normal process is that you give others value, and you get something in return.

Money is like an IOU.

At the point where you have money, you have given to others, but not yet gotten something back from others.

Seriously man, Bluesky has too much negativity to be sharing any kind of forward looking thing with.

Sora almost definitely has invisible watermarks in its videos.

This is more the prelude to people being able to make movies they want to see (or have others see), on their own.

I think, if you start with a goal, you could write out what you think gets in the way of that goal, or what the steps you think for achieving it are.

And then maybe have AI flesh out the assumptions or mistakes implied by each of those nodes.

Could maybe build systems that help recompose it all...

@bsky.app The allowed length of messages is too short, and I don't like having to break up complex things – and potentially confuse the preview of the message that's showing to the user.

That seems like a "What is predictive of higher, sustained growth?" style question.

Doing what's best for the team and their performance is certainly part of that.

Paralleled success?

You should set this article as an automated reply, with an optional LLM review of their suggestion with advice on how to fix it w.r.t the info in the article. lol

It strikes me that the Germans made many modifications to their government after WW2 to block that kind of mistake from happening again.

The winners of WW2 however, felt that they were above needing to learn those lessons.

Maybe just something to keep in mind for when Democrats return ot power.

Europe is still consuming Russian oil, indirectly.

There is no true independence these days.

khurrumm.bsky.social @khurrumm.bsky.social · 13d

Most states these days have no true independence. The position in networks does matter.

If Russian energy wasn't still reaching Europe, Europe would be in really bad shape.

Doesn't $1.7B sound small for something like that?

Ukraine is attacking targets farther inside Russia (especially oil production), so this is probably unavoidable.

Not sure what will happen if a significant amount of Russian oil gets taken offline.

Doubtful that China will directly help them.

Security from external attacks.

And all modern software tries to understand you (or at least users broadly)... That's the foundation of good service.

khurrumm.bsky.social @khurrumm.bsky.social · 15d

The improvements aren't very strongly visible. UI and experience is a little better. Security is better.

Here's ChatGPT's summary on the changes:
