Open to sharing what workflow you're using on the lifestyle image creation? I've tried the Higgsfield MCP, and direct Figma integrations - but keep running into hallucinations on product dimensions, etc.

At this point, I mostly ask Claude to use Claude in Chrome to use ChatGPT to create lifestyle images (because I am cheap and I don't want to pay for API usage when I could get them free) based on whatever product shots I have. Sometimes I give it some more specific direction about what I want, but usually for the first pass I just tell it to make 10 or 20 or whatever and see what it gives me.

When it's done, it generates a web page with the images and a simple UI for feedback, then uses the feedback I give it to iterate.

It has always been very good at styling things well (i.e. if I'm making infographic-style images, I give it an example of one and it's good at copying the style/fonts/colors/etc.), but I suspect I get better-than-average results in terms of the content just because it has built up so much context from doing this and taking my feedback across so many different brands and images.

The product dimension thing really stopped being an issue for me with ChatGPT Images 2, and the new 2.5 is better. If you're running into trouble, there are some cases where Gemini is better, but they're rare. But I will say if you're prompting yourself and running into issues, you should get Claude/ChatGPT to help you write the prompt that goes to the image model. They're very good at it.

I do the same thing with my subscriptions. Haven't checked the math lately but it seemed more cost effective in the past.

How do you orchestrate the various machines? Sounds like a great idea.

Could "superintelligence" arrive as basically applying this overhang to all other domains?

That is not "superintelligence" but string concatenation of stored data. Anyway, the marketing succeeded.

Would seem odd if Reuters didn't provide them access. They didn't seem to indicate or address it at all in the article

“Fool me three times—there's twice as much shame on me. I cannot believe I allowed you to fool me again.”

I think the difference is people being comfortable with giving away their own data for convenience, vs. someone recording them without their permission (who they can immediately confront, unlike Flock and the like).

You will confront, they will record the confrontation and post it online to farm clicks. Few people will sue, there will be a slap on a wrist and voila, its normalized.

Now people will not confront because they would only provide content and see themselves in new viral video.

This is a weird article. There's no evidence or proof, just the author claiming he did it.

Edit: Saw there's a pay to read more option.

Yeah, sounds like a clickbait. Did you notice the paid sign up at the bottom? I guess we will never find out...

"Hey! Are you new here? The rest of this story is only for paid subscribers. Upgrade to read it all."

There's a weird literal click bait sports headlines online website out there that's basically just farming sports teams and athletes because I assume they are easy to game. It was -good- enough that news.google.com was syndicating these articles that had zero substance.

Wouldn't it track that AI creative work would plummet ticket costs rather than increase them?

Would love to see someone vibecode an explorer for seeing how their jurisdiction spent their taxes. Denver has a decent explorer here: https://www.denvergov.org/transparency/checkbook#/home?year=...

Why do you need to vibecode an explorer when financial analysis tools are a dime a dozen?

If Flock can put them up, can I/my city just decide to put signs or lasers in front of the cameras?

There's instagram stories of people riding around destroying them, so yes, it's possible.

Or just cut the power?

They have little solar panels.

plastic bag!

Eww, plastic. A bird feeder right above the camera would do the trick just fine. Flock doesn’t own the pole, right?
