Big brain tech dude got yet another clueless take over at HackerNews etc? Here's the place to vent. Orange site, VC foolishness, all welcome.

This is not debate club. Unless it’s amusing debate.

AI is, roughly speaking, complete bullshit that should die in a fire.

But...

I work remotely and I would love if I could make Zoom make me look like my hair is perfectly combed, I'm wearing a collared shirt, I'm smiling, and in general I'm presentable and professional-looking without anyone on the Zoom call ever knowing it was a trick.

Not to say I think we'll achieve that any time in the foreseeable future, but one can wish.

you can readily achieve that with video synthesis and overlay techniques from circa 2016~2017, tbh

(not saying you should, just saying it is entirely possible and has been for years)
