Has the realism of AI already caught on to that of animated CGI movies?
I assume that an expert in CGI can point out obvious flaws in these outputs. But I wonder if it is possible to fix those details by prompting it to change only specific segments.
There is also the question of how much compute/money they are spending per second of output, compared to a high-budget Hollywood CGI.
The entire comment feels way too long, structured and convincing in a way that can only be written by an AI. I just hope that once the em-dashes are "fixed", we still be able to detect such text.
I fear for a future when human text is sparse, even here at HN. It is depressing to see such a comment take the top spot.
Lol -- it even reads with the same exact tone as AI. For those that use it often, it's so easy to spot now. The luddites on HN that fear AI feel end up affected the most because they have no idea how to see it.
I am pretty sure this comment is also AI generated. Just a guess but so many em-dash is suspicious. And the overall structure of convincing feels uncanny.
If this is true, can you share your initial draft that you asked the AI to rewrite. Am I not right that the initial draft is more concise and better conveys your actual thought, even though it's not as much convincing.
I'm just listing some points that a VC might be interested in, but you haven't clarified, at least in this post. Usually, they need information of the following also:
- Is the market big enough to allow multiple players at a large scale? There are many viable and profitable ideas, but having a ceiling due to limited market demand is a negative.
- Apart from your technical expertise, do you have go-to-market capability to be able to capture the above market?
- Do the promoters have a vision for exit? Running a profitable long-term business is not usually the right venture for a VC. They need to see a possibility of either acquisition or market listing or further investment rounds at a higher valuation.
- Are you offering enough company shares in order for the investors to have some say in the company? A profitable investment without significant control might not be enticing for some investors.
- You have mentioned collaborating with another stealth start-up. You shouldn't appear as dependent on another company. Even having a large client as a significant fraction of your revenue can be considered as negative.
With all that said, it is a competitive market influenced also by macroeconomic conditions and fund cycles for the investors.
If you are already profitable, have confidence, and some personal financial stability, debt funding might be a good option for you.
Thank you, this is very helpful! Will keep this points in mind. Regarding exit, yes that is certainly one outcome. But it’s not something that we have mentioned in any of the pitch materials. Regarding shares I’ve followed the YC standard.
The levelized cost of electricity (LCOE) is the rate of the total energy output of the energy system to build and operate it over its lifetime to the average total cost of the system over that lifetime.
It might be too far, but to me this piece seems aimed at increasing concerns among regulators about AI. OpenAI might view regulation as a means of ensuring their competitive edge as other big players enter the AI space.
To me this reads like a lot of grant applications after 9/11 where researchers scribbled out whatever they were working on and wrote about bioterrorism-related diseases instead.
The number of projects I had to sit through about developing sophisticated methods to detect smallpox attacks, when the actual answer is "Smallpox is extinct. If you find one case, it's an emergency", were...myriad.
It can cause your site to end up on Google's safe Browsing black list which can be a death sentence for a business. Google has automated process for identifying malware and black list such websites. Almost all browsers use this list to warn users. This is why it is also dangerous to host anonymous uploaded files even for a short time. https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=25802366

If it's a file that nothing on your site links to, and doesn't really "exist" how would google ever index it? Especially if you put in as a deny in robots.txt, which as far as I'm aware, Google honors.
There needs to be another video from opposite side of the world. And data on how much difference is there in the severity on both sides.
The 2020 paper establishing Chicxulub event as the driving factor of extinction also said that "prolonged eruption of the Deccan traps might have acted as an ameliorating agent" i.e. cancelling the negative effects of asteroid impact.
