Designers having that artistic taste, and clients lacking it, is exactly why I don't think generative AI is going to do much to replace (skilled) designers anytime soon. Likewise for other creative professions, and indeed for knowledge work in general.

Taste is a great solution for abundance, so I agree. Also, there's definitely a rubberband effect where products & designs need to differentiate on their design to stand out in a homogenous world, and you truly do need creative professionals having that judgment. Even using AI as a tool, you have to have the sayable vocabulary (at the very least) to agitate the aesthetic status quo.

Knowing what is in the realm of possibility can help you get much more out of genAI.

For example, you have to know about a style to know to ask for it or some variation on it.

And low-skill graphic design had already been mostly replaced by Canva, so I don't think AI is really having as much impact on the design industry as people might suppose.

I think we ALREADY at the point when AI is capable to replace like 99.7% of designers. It is only a question of market inertia and personal brands that prevent it from happening right now.

Honestly I prefer that over the overabundance of empty space that's been the norm in “modern” web design for more than a decade now.

I've seen file corruption with FFS on some of my OpenBSD servers, though them being VMs is likely a factor there.

Qcow2 will zero blocks on power loss, at least in some configurations.

The lack of water is related to the lack of hydrogen; you'd need to find a hydrogen source to synthesize water.

Lots of oxygen in moon rocks, though, so in addition to directly importing icy asteroids, importing hydrocarbon-rich asteroids would also help (with the added bonus of carbon also being something scarce on the Moon).

If that forest's dominant tree happens to be a quaking aspen then technically speaking it might not have been mistagged.

The requirement to use union labor for construction hasn't stopped datacenter buildouts here in Nevada.

Arizona is conducive to abundant solar power, so that'd be a good reason to build there. Similar deal here in Nevada (with the added bonus of Nevada being a giant blob of geothermal heat, further driving renewable energy supply and therefore datacenter attractiveness).

It's interesting that the “Classical Music” sample ended up with a style prompt of “Contemporary Christian”.

It's even more interesting that the “Contemporary Christian” music it generated was specifically Mormon music (specifically about the exile of Lehi and his family from Jerusalem into the wilderness, during which they reach the ocean, build a boat, and sail to the Americas), but in the style of contemporary Christian rock.

A good enough lens would make it straightforward to solve murder mysteries, provided the murder happened outside on a sunny day.
