IDC forecasts that the amount of data generated each year will grow to 175 zettabytes by 2025. It further estimates that a total of 22 zettabytes of digital storage will be shipped across all storage media types between 2018 and 2025, with nearly 59 percent of this capacity being provided by the hard drive industry.

Such a weird world, where “posted before AI could do that” is like the only way to verify something now.

If content-aware fill launched today, I bet they’d call it AI. Algorithms were variably called AI in 2010, depending on what we were talking about. But Adobe marketed content-aware fill as “magic” more than anything.

In Photoshop, do I lose access to content-aware fill or just generative fill? Which selection tools remain?
- Comment on The System does not work. 2 months ago:
A system can become disordered, acting counter to its evolved purpose, sometimes in a way that’s fatal to function. I wonder if historians have a DSM for governments/societies.
- Comment on Would an LLM AI model trained wholly on consenting open source projects with a license requiring all derivative works be open source licensed still be problematic? 2 months ago:
I think AI’s a pretty good candidate for the Great Filter. There’s a quote I think about often.
Each and every individual in such a species must eventually become capable of destroying their entire species at any time. Yet they must learn to control themselves to the degree that they can survive even such deadly insight. And frankly, they’re the only ones we really want to see leaving their solar systems. - Conversation with God by “Harry Stottle”

That makes a lot of sense. I also kinda worry they might be angling for a future that’s dominated by cloud service platforms that stream generative gaming (like Genie.

It’s a pretty stark example of intelligence and wisdom being decidedly different stats.

- Comment on This guy managed the movie theater I worked at in high school. 3 months ago:
I used to occasionally go to nightclubs in LA with some older guys that insisted on wearing nice, fitted suits. They actually bought me one when I first moved out there. If I was in a nightclub in my 20’s, it was usually cause I was working. So I don’t really have much to compare the experience to. But I’d say they were attention-getting - not necessarily in a good way. One dude tried to start a fight with me. And a girl I texted afterward was surprised to discover that I was, in fact, quite poor. That was a while ago. I have plenty of suits now. I never wear them. I guess nobody dresses fancy anymore.
