Its plausible those acts of generosity were in fact a response to the same kind of criticism at a time, just a generation before Carnegie and others.

You can measure UX. Just ask 100 people "does it feel worse? did you like it better 5 years ago?"

All the power users are always jumping around by now and many hold the smallest subscription with all the models or at least two.

Narrating this as if it’s the game of thrones is a fun exercise, but it’s just becoming commonplace now that models jump ahead of each other on a weekly to Monthly basis.

read Varoufakis for the story on how this happened. European surplus capital gets recycled as VC money into Silicon Valley. So it's not like there's some big choice to be made, its potentially a systemic part of the global monetary flows.

You just get an LLM to do the bounding box stuff or use the ComfyUI node that provides a GUI for bounding box generation

I know of entire media departments that went from - let’s hire an artist and see what they come up with to - let’s produce hundreds if not thousands of images to explore all possible ideas (and end up with something bland anyway).

What about when they manage to get an Opus 5 level model to run on your phone?

Sora was a social network type thing. Google sells their models on a PAYG basis - and makes money off them. Nano Banana alone has changed advertising 2D mockups and Photoshop like tasks forever. Notice how GPT image 2 is now available also on a PAYG basis.

I work in advertising and some days I spent a lot of money using these models. The amount and rapidity of prototyping using them has changed everything about advertising pre production.

Paul Newman I think. Same thing. He was also married to the same person for decades.

5 felt both smarter than me and dumber in some ways - it gets stuck to its original ideas. I had never seen a model harder to talk into changing its initial opinions. it continuously hedges.

Still survivorship bias. Those movies are curated! Well curated if you like them I might add.

Opus 4.6 remains unbeatable in my book. Fun to talk to. Fable felt very human. But not as fun.
