Do you offer to pay them in exposure? Or do you offer them actually money commensurate with the work and skill they provide?

Because if it’s the latter we’re back to money being the barrier. And if it’s the former you should go and check with your local artists how much they love working for exposure.

Yes, running an event has work and expenses involved in it. An AI slop poster is a sign the event is not serious and has other more major issues under the surface.

It’s a local craft fair. By every reasonable definition of the word, it’s not serious.

I assume you haven’t lived in a village before? These fairs have absolutely no money, and often not even much time as it’s fully volunteer led

Making a poster is free and easy. Literal children do it in school.

I’ve made posters for events. Affinity is free now, it takes you like an hour to learn it from scratch and make your poster. If you couldn’t be bothered doing that, then that’s a signal the event itself is low effort slop. I'm not sure why people are acting like it's impossible to run an event without AI tools that literally didn't exist until right now.

> Can anyone offer any advice or experiences on talking people out of trying to prematurely squeeze out every last penny?

Yes. Lend them many more pennies, removing the necessity for short-term profit taking and allowing them to run at a loss until they decimate the competition, capture the market and then start raising prices to the point that they are more profitable than had they taken the short-sighted approach.

How large and pixel dense does a display need to be for it to convincingly fill an image sensor?

I suspect it’s significantly less than millions.

I do this, but increasingly modern TVs complain about not being connected to the internet in general. Usually once every day or two I get a pop up on my Samsung 90F complaining that network access of required for some feature that seems to run on a timer.

It differs based on when you purchased the car and package. I have “Advanced Autopilot” (which is no longer for sale in my market) that does not stop for stop signs or traffic lights.

Earlier this year they stopped selling Autopilot altogether in the US and Canada.

Too much variation to make a call on whether their version sips have been stopping under these conditions.

99% of the time I just change my UA to Chrome and the incompatible site works fine.

Firefox doesn't report every keystroke put into the Awesome bar back to Mozilla, AFAIK.

It does (to the search engine you use) unless you turn off "Show search suggestions in address bar results".

I don't think you can turn that off in Chrome

I don't quite know why, and I don't think it's particularly your fault - but I find this a very depressing response to the information laid out in this article.

Happy to hear more. Perhaps some room for reflection by you and me and the rest of everybody reading this.

The training data likely references Claude significantly more often than Kimi, given the popularity of the models. There will simply be more examples of “Claude” being the response to that question.

It's altered, sure. I think inherent degradation is a step too far though.
