Reply to Why did 2003 to 2013 feel like more progress than 2013 to 2023? by questionasker577

Seriously??

Do you still play video games from 2013? Or maybe you have older hardware? Just compare anything released there to any AAA game released recently on ultra setting, with real time ray tracing.

I'm in gamdev space... and the tech in 2013 doesn't even come close to what's available right now, and for free. Just look at Unreal Engine 5 demos or even Unity HDRP demos.

In 2013 I couldn't put my VR headset and play Half Life in it.

End so on, and so forth...

What overall I have a feeling, it's not the matter of progress, but matter of your perception of progress. Maybe you were a teen in 2003-2013? Those years usually feel golden to us, but it's just a cognitive bias.

Nah, doubt it. They did expect troubles (and got them) when scanning all those books, yet they did it anyway. Google can afford the best lawyers. It's something else. Maybe it's not that good, maybe it's publicity stunt, maybe they want to gauge the reaction. Maybe they don't want to be first, so all the anit-ai art hateful crowd goes after someone else first. etc. etc.

Or just doing those press releases as marketing stunts. That's what OpenAI did with GPT2, and it worked for them very well.

> CGI = computer generated graphics.

Came with the intention of saying exactly this. It's by definition CGI :D But it's different kind of CGI than what we had before.

Reply to Is it wishful thinking that I feel like we’re way closer than we thought? by fignewtgingrich

Unfortunately it is. I would even risk saying that Kurzweil timeline might be wishful thinking.

Also, stuff moves fast, and change is faster than it used to be. But hype is even faster than actual change in the world. One has to consider that digital space can change quite fast, but physical world is very slow to change...
