  • Interesting, wonder how the economics work for the different players. Also, tangentially:

    A decade or two ago, a lady working in dealer finance lamented how internet bank rate comparisons had really rained on their parade

    “I want this rate”, she explained customers would say, pointing at a printout or their phone and expecting a match.

    Imagine how fat those margins would’ve been when they knew a customer hadn’t yet called around researching rates!

  • I need to find an open source project with poor UX and high personal utility (e.g. in a space I’m comfortable in). I could help!

    I will say something I enjoy quite a bit is dictating long rambling monologues to a nearly flawless machine transcription system. Then I make multiple language models try to mock up and wireframe my ideas. They might be mostly or totally non-functional, but still communicate my vision very clearly & effectively.

  • I suppose the systemic solution would be a mandate to follow an Adobe-style model.

    Certainly seems impossible to harm anyone by making a comic for fun with an available tool.

    For contrast -

    Entrepreneurs who start small businesses today and especially the years to come 2026 will have to decide though where their morals lie - will an artist, or Altman, profit from the logo creation?

  • When are language models gonna be able to help there - a couple are doing such a good job regurgitating aesthetically acceptable draft web designs (stolen though they may be). They even figure out some logic along the way.

    Anybody know of any existing LLM-driven UX enhancement plans on any open-source projects?

    Who commissions a political comic

    lol

    Great comment


    I wish the courts decided everybody should use that Adobe model where anyone in the training set gets compensated. The debate immediately becomes far less interesting when nobody is obviously getting directly screwed.

    Once that moral high ground is achieved, the arguments about increased accessibility of expression become more sympathetic. Then I can’t just care about the artist who needs to make rent, I have to care about the amateur filmmaker who can’t afford to traditionally storyboard their dream just like it is in their brain…
