@Chronotope ehh you keep putting (dumb) words in my mouth. i’ve said my piece, have a great friday — PolitiTweet.org

@Chronotope when it’s followed by detailed analysis and is argued dispassionately — if someone is rooting for it to fail it’s easy to tune out — PolitiTweet.org

Casey Newton @CaseyNewton

@martinpagh @alexhern totally fair of you to feel that way, but the fact that people are often rooting against technology is the main reason people building it tend to ignore analysis about why it won’t work — PolitiTweet.org

Casey Newton @CaseyNewton

@Chronotope i’m saying it’s extremely common and said about everything. so it’s no wonder that it’s often ignored. doesn’t mean it’s always right to ignore it! but people have to understand that it’s the default case for all tech — PolitiTweet.org

@alexhern people working in crypto definitely do tend to write off the vast majority of criticism, and it’s hurting them in ways that I don’t think they really understand at this point — PolitiTweet.org

Casey Newton @CaseyNewton

@alexhern i don’t think that’s true … i think people who correctly predict things based on good analysis tend to be rewarded over time. there’s just not as much upside in saying “won’t work” because most things don’t work. so you’re always betting with the odds there — PolitiTweet.org

Casey Newton @CaseyNewton

@alexhern i mean … “this will never work” is an extremely boring opinion that people offer for basically every technology — PolitiTweet.org

There are a million policy questions we need to answer about AI-generated images, and the time to start talking about them is now. But I also wanted to take a moment to acknowledge that no other tech has captured my imagination like this in quite some time. It’s superb. — PolitiTweet.org

Casey Newton @CaseyNewton

I write about this in the piece, but it’s incredible to watch an AI take different creative approaches to a problem. For example, for ‘a delicious cinnamon bun with google eyes,’ look at the different ways DALL-E makes eyes https://t.co/nUz38hJsq1 — PolitiTweet.org

Casey Newton @CaseyNewton

Almost every time I ask DALL-E to do something, the results are so good that I find myself cursing and laughing. For example, I absolutely cannot using it to dress dogs up in costumes. (This is DALL-E’s take on “a shiba inu dog dressed as a firefighter”) https://t.co/s5el7a7WBD — PolitiTweet.org

Casey Newton @CaseyNewton

I wrote about my first week with DALL-E, a truly amazing piece of technology that feels like a breakthrough in the history of the consumer internet. https://t.co/ySgwRHmDhC https://t.co/w0D1SEQdM6 — PolitiTweet.org
