I love Guillermo del Toro calling ages 19 to 29 "sublime confusion"

The full quote: "I think the sublime confusion is from nineteen to twenty-nine. You think you are late for everything, you're a has been, nothing is happening, there's no opportunity for you, the world is closed, everything is a disaster, you wanna die. And then you're thirty. "
"You young people are in the exact age of desperation. I never felt more done and old than in my twenties. I'd say 'life has passed me and I did nothing.' But I'm here to tell you that's not true: you have a lot of fucking time."

Marge Simpson (now canonically born in 1995 but with a voice like wind through a mausoleum): oh wow, IShowSpeed, the American YouTuber and online streamer

lydelle buster @babyshoes4cash.com · 1d

simpsons added a few kids to springfield who are born this century and it makes sense for a lot of reasons but also i cant help but think 'Bart is thirty years older than that other kid'

still from The Simpsons Season 37 Episode 2 - two yellow kids are in a server room. one (kid with blue hair buzzed on the sides and wearing an orange and black cardigan) has a blank, surprised expression, and the other (the famous bart simpson) looks at him with mild contempt

"I think it's fine to use AI for concepting as long as it doesn't make it into the final game" is a statement that will never fail to set me off

To add to this:

"We're just a small game, we can't afford voice actors!"

Then don't have voiced characters. Use text boxes. If you can't afford to pay an artist, then you don't get the art, simple as.

"We're only using AI as placeholder dialogue, to get a sense for how it'd sound with voices"

Why?? Literally why??? You could grab the shittiest laptop microphone and DO that

Someone spent two weeks "generating a book" in ChatGPT.
https://www.reddit.com/r/OpenAI/s/nhLwG2Idrt

How to download a 487 MB file that ChatGPT helped create?

I worked on a book with ChatGPT and it's around
487MB with all the text and visuals. ChatGPT has tried the Google Colab way but it's not working (I don't know whose fault it is).
Is there a way that can help me resolve the issue and save months of work?

e38383:
It didn't create a ~500MB file, it lied to you.

Emotional_Stranger_5 OP:
It's about 700 images. I already have around 10 pages so I don't it is lying. I am going page wise.

Professional_Job_307:
You generated 700 images with chatgpt? How is it stitching them all together into a book?

Emotional_Stranger_5 OP:
After understanding a lot of things it's clear that it didn't. And it fooled me for two weeks.
I have learned my lesson and now I am using it to generate one page at a time.

qu1jOt3:
that's, uh, not really the ideal takeaway from this lesson

ambershee:
It is the funniest though. What a punchline.
