Reddit users give their verdicts on new ChatGPT shopping features: ‘the enshittification has arrived’
Some ChatGPT users are not happy with the new shopping experience
According to a new Reddit thread, some users are not happy with the new shopping features that are being integrated into ChatGPT and are rolling out now.
The new features make it easy to search for and buy consumer products online using ChatGPT's search feature combined with its rich natural-language prompts.
I don't see how they see this working, even if it was in good faith of consumer.
Let's say, even if it is 100% made to help people find exactly what they want, with no paid or internally skewed results and only does this feature when specifically asked.
I give it two months before SEO's and companies learn how to tweak their product ads, also using AI, to ruin and bias results. There is no way no matter how hard they theoretically try to make it good. That companies with millions in product ad funding won't figure out how to make it favor their products.

Damn, we just need an open source locally runnable one equal to that.
Wan 2.1 is realllly good for local, but this is better. Baby steps...one day!

So Microsoft Sora is free on mobiles with some limitations of course. Here's my 3 self insert attempts trying to get it to grasp the concept of not having beard.
1. A freshly shaven 50 year old man sitting at his PC.
2. A 50 year old cleanly shaven white man sitting at his gaming rig.
3. A 50 year old clean-shaven white guy sitting at his gaming rig.
shaven = AI will directly "think" of beard, character will have a beard. you will have better success not mentioning anywhere anything about a beard. you will solve it instead by "childish face" or something similar where AI will not do beards.
Image AI's are terrible at understanding sentences, it's why many come with a negative prompt where you put in what it shouldn't do.
@friketje
Really depends on the angle, the AI model, and such.
I make a lot (like 1000's) of Ai images for my tabletop game to have a good bulk of NPC pics to use purging out the bad/ugly/useless ones.
You get 3, 4, 5, 6 fingers. Sometimes no fingers. Sometimes what looks like 2 thumbs. '4' fingers isn't ubiquitous o any means or a sign of anything.

Open world games (GTA, Stalker, Cyberpunk etc.) have a big weakness. The worlds often seem empty outside of the main and side quests that have to be crafted by hand. Developers have tried to create a "living" world with stuff to do but that generated content is just repetitive and boring.
The next step will be AI that affect/create in-game content.
Quote:
Narrative and Dialogue:
AI is being used to create dynamic and responsive dialogue systems, allowing for more immersive player interactions.
AI-driven Storytelling:
AI could potentially personalize narratives based on player choices, creating unique and dynamic story arcs.
Personalized Game Experiences:
AI could adapt the game difficulty and content to match each player's skill level and preferences, creating a more tailored experience.
...and so on.
At one point in the future we could see never-ending games with engines capable of having AI generate entirely new areas with all the good stuff (towns/cities, storylines & quests, npc's etc.). They won't replace humans when it comes to the game design and main storyline. AI will simply replace the useless stuff that exists outside the main storyline and quests/side-quests. We'll probably see a gradual introduction of that kind of AI-integration quite soon.
Hopefully. But you never know, at one point we thought games were going to have super realistic physics, that it would be the norm in like 2010 or so, destructible environments. Instead we are seeing a decline i think, PhysX basically being phased out.
In many, many ways how games are progressing is very disappointing. 3D models are still clipping into stuff, like they did 20+ years ago.
Switched from Github Copilot to Cursor 2 days ago... jesus h christ what a difference! I've done more things with Cursor in 2 days than with copilot in 1+ week. It's an unbelievable difference in speed and accuracy, even though i'm actually just using ChatGPT 4.1 with it, which is considered one of the poorer models.
xAI debuts powerful Grok 4 AI model, but it's not going to make people forget the antisemitism it spewed on X
Acing benchmark tests doesn't outweigh claiming the title of 'MechaHitler'
xAI introduced new versions of its Grok AI model line. Grok 4 and its larger, more powerful sibling, Grok 4 Heavy, are part of CEO Elon Musk’s effort to position Grok as a serious competitor to OpenAI’s ChatGPT, Google’s Gemini, and Anthropic’s Claude. That includes the new $300-a-month subscription tier called SuperGrok Heavy, which offers exclusive access to Grok 4 Heavy.
If you do pay the $300 a month for SuperGrok Heavy, you'll get not only access to Grok 4 Heavy but also developer tools, API usage, and be first to try out new and upcoming features like an AI coding assistant, a multi-modal agent, and an AI video generator. As OpenAI, Google, and Anthropic all roll out more expensive subscription tiers, xAI is likely to be keen to come out ahead in both timing and model quality.
The chatbot’s automated replies on X for hours included conspiracy theories about Jewish control of Hollywood, praise for Hitler, and even declaring itself as “MechaHitler.” The company swiftly deleted the posts as they appeared, and Grok briefly denied even making them before copping to the reality of screenshots.
for some reason they let it collect data off X. not sure i see the point other than for memes / humor. It sure gave Grok 4 a ton of attention. Elon seems to give no shits any more, "all attention is good attention" i guess... of course every article wrote about Grok 4 when they mentioned the nazi-stuff...
took a subscription (not the $300 one though), seems quite good. i let it refactor 4200 lines of code, didnt get any errors.
But yea, doing a game with AI gives a future glimpse i think. The game i have now is quite advanced for the genre, it has RPG mechanics, shooter mechanics, various "advanced" power-ups (drive a tank and control its gun etc), and i cant write code at all. in 1-2 years i am 100% sure i will just think "uh, yeah that was... cute." while right now it feels kind of mind blowing.

Musk is turning Grok far-right/nazi?
Who cares about some racial stuff, certainly not the "victims". Karens and beta cucks care and that's it.
yeah the mech isnt tracking the tank (which i just implemented) yet, so for now its basically a place holder that needs more animation frames, i never even intended a tank power up so i never made animations for shooting in any other direction. there are tons of issues since its not a finished game by any means

just made a ramp for the tank so he can fly off into the air and crash into ships, its a very serious game
Hell yes, duckduckgo gives power to block AI images
DuckDuckGo Now Lets You Hide AI-Generated Images From Search Results
Ever wished you could skip all the AI-generated “slop” cluttering up image search results? Google is all-in on AI and everything that comes with it, including AI generated everything.
DuckDuckGo does things differently. It lets you turn off its AI overviews feature, for instance, unlike Google, and now DuckDuckGo has quietly rolled out a feature that lets you filter out AI generated images.
Why DuckDuckGo’s New Filter Matters
AI-generated images have exploded across the web thanks to services like Midjourney and DALL·E. Whether you’re searching for art, products, or memes, it’s getting harder to tell what’s human-made versus AI-generated.
DuckDuckGo’s new setting—called Hide AI-Generated Images—gives you a simple way to filter these out of your search results. You won’t find this in most other search engines right now, including Google and Bing.
Uk has a new AI law and now CivitAi is blocking them cause they can't comply
They can comply, just dumb to change the entire site for one country.
It's CivitAI cannot be assed to comply or change stuff just to fit with UK laws. CivitAI is blocking them to encourage the people to complain.
The site changing to match the laws, make people fuss at the site. Totally block the people and let them know why, they complain at the regulations.
Same tactic porn sites are using in the US in states new laws require registration and ID to access the site. Tell people they now need to register and you are the bad guy. Put up a redirected to splash screen saying who made it so they need to register, people raise hell at those people (or just use a VPN...)
And i'm 99.9% sure anyone running local AI models know how to use a VPN so you are not in the 'UK' to the site.
These new laws will do nothing. Old people in power, making laws on internet things they don't understand, in ways they don't realize how easy are to get around.

awesome for research.
Tank power-up + graphical improvements, more enemy types + tons of tweaking..
