  • "Cancel ChatGPT" movement goes mainstream after OpenAI closes deal with U.S. Department of War — as Anthropic refuses to surveil American citizens

  • Or, even more ironically, maybe they used ChatGPT to analyze the changes and it missed it. This would tickle me to some extent, but also solidify the terror of such a system being used to make life altering decisions.

  • What's a piece of Media that is so underrated you must mention it?

  • I just remember this movie talking about the Mac G5 before it was announced. As an early early Apple employee that geeked me right out.

  • I have a 2012 MacBook Pro that runs exactly as it did when I bought it. It’s fast enough (i7), has retina resolution and can triple boot. I feel like I may have gotten my money’s worth over the 14 years it’s been running perfectly. The hardware is also still basically pristine.

  • Thanks for your meaningful, informed, and helpful contribution.

    Of course it’s edited. Pro tip: every image is edited. Nothing anyone sees is raw from the sensor. It’s all completely arbitrary. Even people who shoot film show edited photos, they just offload the editing to the film lab. Someone else is doing the processing for them.

    Even direct from a digital camera to jpeg, the camera is performing countless transformations and adjustment s before burning to jpeg. See film emulations on Fuji cameras for example.

    The entire point of photography is to present to people a compelling vision that feels the way you did when you saw it.

    That being said, this is basic curve and a vignette.

  • It was more to denote the presence of Apple’s processing algorithms, which are possibly part of why people think it’s AI or painted. Lots of people on Reddit thought it was a painting and some pointed to the painterly look of details when zoomed into.

    Lots of discussion about that being the result of Apple’s fusion algo, which merges many rapidly taken exposures to eliminate noise, at the expense of real detail.

  • Thank you! And yes, I mean I realize it’s a two sided battle. I legitimately hate gen AI and what it was done to the art world. My current career is in the process of being completely devoured by AI and taking photos is something that brings me a lot of joy and connects me to the real world, so it’s infuriating to have both the loss of my career and denigration of my photography due to AI.

  • Right? I don’t get it. They gave no reason except pointing to a rule that stated no posting someone else’s work as your own. Which obviously was not the case here. But they did not respond to a request to look into it.

  • Here it is several years later. It’s an office that I rent. The landlord apparently does not care about maintaining the windows.

  • It’s not HDR, it’s a single shot and no tone mapping has been done. Just levels adjustment that could have been done in a physical darkroom.

    The number of things that confuse people in this image really surprises me, but I’m assuming you’re talking about the light beam, which is the sun raking concrete at a very sharp angle. The detail it’s exposing on the concrete is actually just like that, even in the raw image.

  • It’s not HDR. It’s a single shot, slightly underexposed so we don’t lose the highlight detail. The rest of the work could have been done in a physical darkroom. But thank you.
