There is a certain class of images that will be largely unaffected - anything where authenticity matters. Such as a space walk photo from the ISS, a celebration moment in the Olympics, presidential speech, met gala fashion shots etc. and the authentic non generative photos could go up in value as photographers who do not have access to those moments either start to resort to AI or to fall out of the competition.

I used to work in boutique audio retail. One of the big challenges of the business is how big and heavy good speakers are. In the old days we would need to crate the speaker to customers’ house for audition as every room has a different acoustic, and try a few different speakers with more crates with a upfront fee/credit to purchase, but it doesn’t happen nearly as often anymore. Showrooms nowadays also mostly do not have the right environment and setup for the speakers to perform well as they were before. In fact most people do not have an opportunity to listen to half decent audio from a heavy passive speaker and the type of sound they could make relative to homepods is becoming more of a myth now. And the direct implication of this is speaker makers need to make more profit per sale and the price increase for Klipsch Heresy and Forte for each revision is bananas. There are still software company making solutions to emulate speaker sounds before a purchase calibrated to common headphone models, I don’t know how they function but every customer who’d tried one of those would walk away for almost certainty as it sounds crappy.

Reddit is offline too I think it’s an outage with some infra

So, from this, it would be true that any set of living things can be modeled into a general purpose computing device that can process certain Turing complete language.

Year 2020 is perhaps one of the best year to simulate to study the origin story of A.I., what a time we are living in today!

Anyone could offer some insights on how expensive it is to really do this in one's backyard and where the backyard is best located? I remember joining a astrophotography group a few years ago, and the equipment setup and scouting process could be quite a burden.

Protomolecules!

Would it be more interesting to the experimenter that the simulation itself is aware of the simulation, and what real incentive there is to terminate the simulation just because the simulated knew they're simulated? What if it's also part of the goal of the simulation.

The article is so confusing. I'm hooked when it started at "The point of the experiment, one imagines, was to prompt the question: “How do they know this?” in the target’s mind." and then it just ends without answering anything.
