I always thought Musk's turning point was in the pandemic when he was wrong about how dangerous it could be (https://www.nytimes.com/2020/05/13/business/Elon-Musk-tesla-...). And from there the decline began, but now I realize and remember that before 2020 he was already doing some crazy things...


Love his response. Makes total sense to me.

This paywall is crazy.


Yes, I need to complete my OpenAI Assistants integration and this is not working :(


I was in your place as an opinion a few months ago. I thought this was a short thing, but models will just get easier to use, like many other tools. And that won't stop someone from having to use them with prompt engineering, even if it seems pretty trivial.

It's like the Community Manager, social networks and a creating a community seem to be something very easy to do, but still, someone need to do that.


The Grand Finale simulation of Cassini falling into Saturn is one of the most beautiful videos I've seen on the internet: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=68vxYRAony8


Directed by Erik Wernquist, also known as the creator of the stunningly beautiful and poignant CGI short film "Wanderers": https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YH3c1QZzRK4


Very soon it would be possible to create such content with much lesser talent I suppose?

- Moving Carl Sagan's Voice - deepfake audio synthesis

- Stunning visuals - Generative AI trained on NASA archives and sci-fi movie footage

- Awe-Inspiring Narrative - GPT trained on Sagan, Ray Bradbury, etc

Once we are there -- I wonder what becomes the new frontier for creative output that makes us say "AI cannot do THIS -- it takes a human"


If someone could get high quality stuff from all these tools, combine it well, and compose the whole video to a similar quality, I would say they would be equally talented. Even if they spent a fraction of the time on it.


It's not unlikely that soon after that happens, the human era as we understand will end. In one way or another.


Yes, I watch this a couple of times a year. It's just beautiful.


I thought they did a really good job in the NOVA The Planets miniseries as well:

which is in general full of some pretty excellent simulations, arranged very aesthetically


Thank you. That was majestic!


Wow – stunning! Thank you!


Let's create a plugin that will retrieve information from NASA API. It will get the NASA Astronomical Picture of the Day (APOD) and it will also allow us to search for images in NASA's Image Library to retrieve a list of images based on a search query.


Barely a week has passed since Gen-1. The difference in the video generated is noticeable. Everything moves so fast.


Gen1 was posted 43 days ago: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=34680593

Still it's impressive the speed at which the progress is accelerating.


Interesting. I see it. This will be the counterpart of "Human-designed" or "Made by humans".


Is only United States supported?


Do they have that? I’ve seen that TikTok just shallow-ban that kind of videos.


You mean shadow ban?


Ohh sorry, yes I mean a shadow ban


Awesome!
