I still have not seen an explanation for how "AI" (it isnt that, you marketing faggots.) Improves anyones life more than automated scripts. The only use ive had for it is Clarity VX which removes background noise from audio files.

I'll give you one example
ML models allow me to separate music files into stems, allowing me to mix them together more creatively, for really interesting transitions in musical sets or for really creative mashups

A big plot point in America pie relied on the idea of webcam streaming, something that doesn't feel like what you think of when you hear 1999, but it was at least commonplace enough to be plausible according to Hollywood.

It was bs tho, even with the earliest broadband services streaming video barely worked and you had to be a millionaire to have that in a town like in the movie and not a city in 1999, is like idk having a A1000 in your room now, cant think of something as expensive, even a PC that could handle live video was like $3000 which is like what $6000 now? more? how many people you know with a computer that expensive?

And there were tons of Internet companies in the dot com era that were basically early versions of door dash or Uber or Netflix that because of costs didn't get big.

I remember reading about webvan that was like an online supermarket but nothing about streaming movies or ordering a car

Those last two only took off thanks to smart tvs and smartphones, nobody is calling a car from their PC and hooking your computer to your TV to play a movie is how you get girls to get up and leave

you could definetely order a taxi or food to your door via online in san fran back in 1999, and like you said it wasn't cool but you could download and watch shit and possibly stream a bit back then.

I dont recall anyone downloading anything bigger than songs from napster at the shittiest bitrate in those days

There was some movie downloading in the very early noughties with emule and edonkey but I remember those things ran like shit and took days to download even a south park episode
 
So there was an X/Twidder promo a couple weeks ago, and now I have X Premium. This means access to Grok.

Been using it for various queries, code samples and requests, it's pretty damn good I'd say. What am I in for?

Also, I'd like to go deeper into prompt engineering, any good resources where I can start?

It's hard to give general advice about prompt engineering because models all are very different and will react differently to prompts. What I found always helps every model with paying attention to parts of prompts is lots of formatting. All models I encountered like both markdown and xml tags for some reason. If you clearly structure a longer prompt with markdown headings and subheadings and lists like a good manual, and surround specific parts you want it to pay attention to with xml tags, it really helps the model's understanding. Also be direct and try avoiding filler words.

Speaking of tags is the white text "hire this person" hack for resumes still working or they patched that already?

Man that sounds really convincing. Holy shit.

you could do a similar thing in elevenlabs and openai for awhile, the problem is its not really capable of shifting unless you tell it to do so while simple narration is ok, it can't really do long form the way people will have different inflections and tones in a conversation that happens over the span of an hour.

So its been patched then

Did you try something else? like writing in hex or whatever

It has the same problem sd and flux have: its too perfect, it all sounds like something out of a high end mic in an acoustic room, it lacks the imperfections, the mispronunciations, the breathing on the mic, just like when you ask sd or flux for a hot chick it draws this impossible chick with impossible ass and tits in impossible perfect lighting and everything

Thats how I know its fake

This is really cool. One interesting aspect I could see this being useful, would be horror short films, for instance.

i love these, especially because most of those shots look so real, like i swear one of my friends made a similar video like a dozen years ago only instead of AI it was just him dicking around on horror film sets. In general the fact that it looks so close to normal is what i love about it, everyone who's been a part of films especially horror has clips of them dicking around and the fact that you can AI, "man in costume dancing" is amazing. like if you said this was a parody of AI a la Will Smith eating spaghetti people would believe you. At least in all the shorter videos that last a minute or two, that 4 minute video is fucking obnoxious in a way the rest of the videos aren't

the probably is you're getting into the "i love records because of how awful the quality is" levels of autism and for most people, they'd rather listen without that stuff. You're like one of those fags that try and argue Sonichu are good comics.

i'll agree with this but thats 99% user error at this point. and the best way to defeat that is just to screenshot a clip AI makes because then you don't get the perfect lighting and the body will have tiny imperfections or at least look like it does because of the movement.
