I think Leathery Pete might have read too much Left Behind.

I've been recommended more Veo 3 fails by The Algorithm. Apparently even some promptfans think it sucks.

You WILL believe what happened when they tried to replicate Google's demos using the exact same prompts.

All enthusiasm for polyamory replaced with enthusiasm for tag team matches

both would be funnier

the model was supposed to be trained solely on his own art

much simpler models are practically impossible to train without an existing model to build upon. With GenAI it's safe to assume that training that base model included large scale scraping without consent

his other references seem to be more garden variety neo-nazi type

Also apparently pro LGBT neo-nazis, which I refuse to believe are not a parody. See this cursed screenshot:

"The Camp of the Saints is a 1973 French dystopian fiction novel by author and explorer Jean Raspail. A speculative fictional account, it depicts the destruction of Western civilization through Third World mass immigration to France and the Western world."

More of a train whistle than a dog whistle this one.

Are economists considered physical scientists? I've read it as "social scientists are dumb except for economists". Which fits my prejudice for econo-brained less wrongers.

If I find a cool piece of driftwood and frame it, did I do art?

Kinda? I "found" a defective injection molding part, where the color of previous batch seeped in in a pattern that looks like a flower. It's really pretty. That there is no intention behind it makes it more interesting to me. It wasn't trivial to put it on a wall. I had to use nails and iron wire and then balance it. I am fine with not calling it art. On a scale 1-10 it definitely is not more than 2.

I think it's more like Alien vs Predator.

“Both what I’ve seen, and what the administration sees, is you all are one of the most respected technology groups in the federal government,” Shedd told TTS workers. “You guys have been doing this far longer than I've been even aware that your group exists.”

(emphasis mine)

Well, maybe start acting like it champ.

personally i think that Vietnamese invasion on all ea compounds would solve a lots of problems and disband a couple of startups

But aren't they used to dealing with VC?

I'm wondering about the benchmark too. It's way above my level to figure out how it can be gamed. But, buried in the article:

Moreover, ARC-AGI-1 is now saturating – besides o3's new score, the fact is that a large ensemble of low-compute Kaggle solutions can now score 81% on the private eval.

The most expensive o3 version achieved 87.5%
