Oh no, I have full creative control. I have to literally specify which fonts to use, where to place a shape etc. But I can ask it to pick a good color palette, put some kind of procedural texture etc. All of this would have taken me a day in photoshop, but with Claude I can give the instructions and let it use Python

I have been asking opus 5.5 to write python to create logos. It is more consistent and easier to control than gen AI for this purpose

This site gave me the name “Greedy Bison”, but it didn’t say how many other “Greedy Bison” are out there. I’m guessing everyone using the very common device I’m using and using the very common browser that I’m using would get the same name as me

I’m not sure if this logic makes sense. They could easily just do the training in the backend with my prompt without showing me the autocomplete. The only difference is that I am slightly primed to the autocomplete, but the OP didn’t mention how that helps with feedback

US is an outlier, globally we are making great progress in using renewables and cutting down carbon emissions (still a long way to go)

Humans are making progress figuring out how to make space use sustainable as well! There are multiple companies out there working in de-orbiting satellites that have reached end of life. A single launch can possibly de-orbit 3-6 satellites. The capacity of a single one of these companies is enough to stabilize the number of space junk today

Top of Google’s page is just a worse version of AI, followed by three or four sponsored result, then SEO optimized crap and finally what I’m looking for is probably near bottom of the results page- I’m not surprised at young people ditching Google

Just because two graphs looks similar doesn’t mean they are “same”. Shouldn’t we subtract the random bias from the real world data and see if there is any slope remaining (or something similar)?
