State of the art in 2024

"I know conservatives often get frustrated with feminists calling [beauty standards] unattainable, and I agree they can go too far – but still, it’s hard to deny that the pressure to look perfect today is unlike anything we’ve ever seen before. ... But it isn’t just unrealistic beauty standards that worry me. What’s even more sinister is the unrealistic emotional standards set by these apps. Eva AI, for example, not only lets you choose the perfect face and body but customize the perfect personality, offering options like “hot, funny, bold,” “shy, modest, considerate,” and “smart, strict, rational. ... How can we compete with that? Already women in relationships complain about porn-addicted partners who aren’t satisfied with actual intimacy. Now we’re facing a future where guys could get addicted to emotional validation elsewhere, sneaking away for some of that unparalleled devotion. Worse, what about young boys who grow up with this? Whose first sexual experience is chatting with AI women who never say no, never argue, never have original thoughts or an identity of their own – and then they try to date a real girl? There are already all these men on Reddit raving about how their AI girlfriends never argue, complain, or get bored of them, while real girls continually disappoint.”

We Can't Compete With AI Girlfriends

Design a girl who is “always on your side," says Replika.

I'm going to have to drop these examples in as links but a Chinese group has the most impressive piece of software in this category that I've seen.

All it needs is a still image and a clip of audio to build a model, rig it for animation, create a series of movements/expressions, and render it into believable video.

If you've ever watched a TikTok video from your phone then the Chinese government today can render video of you saying anything they choose that is good enough that your closest acquaintances likely wouldn't detect the deception.

The old clunky Boston Dynamics Atlas, that was only able to do flips like a gymnast and walk across planks, has been retired. Here is the new version:



It reminds me of the IG-11 assassin droid, able to shoot frontwards and backwards, in the opening season of The Mandalorian.

The ChatGPT service was launched about 18 months ago. In those roughly 500 days, here is where we are now:



As of right now, today, it is good enough to do your job for pennies of electricity per hour. It will never call in sick. It will never get frustrated. It will never ask for a raise or a promotion. It will never quit or file a lawsuit against you. Any business owners not using this as much as they can will get outcompeted by others in their industry and go out of business. This much progress was made in 500 days, and progress is getting faster as AI models train AI models. We will likely see as much advancement again made in the next 6 1/2 months remaining in the year as just happened over the past 18 months.

I am fascinated with this tech right now. I've been using ChatGPT 3.5 for a while now but 4.o is blowing my mind.
Like @Al-O-Meter alluded to. This tech will only get better, and it will do it exponentially.

I'm using Microsoft Copilot to create an image, but it looks like I only get 30 prompts before I have to pay.
Does anyone know of an image generator that is free?

An interesting take on the subject.

It will be interesting to watch the race between Boston Dynamics and Tesla to make humans obsolete.

It appears that AI is getting really good at killing people.

Artificial Intelligence Raises Ukrainian Drone Kill Rates to 80%

Ukraine has been called the “test lab for the future of war” nowhere more so than in the development of the technology and military use of drones, with a million UAVs to be fielded this year.
