I think IMO art is about conveying human ideas/emotions that’s beyond words. So it’s more about what the artist intentionally or unintentionally brought into the piece. With AI “art”, it’s just filling noise into the original prompt. In that case, why don’t you just show me the prompt instead of the noisy lossy “art” piece?
"I’m not a mechanical engineer, but I watched a five-minute YouTube video on how a diesel engine works, so I can tell you that mechanical engineering is a solved problem."
This is like the best C++ tutorial that covers all those niche corner edge cases that I had to learn from a hundred different Even More Effective C++ books
> You don’t need this whole baroque “HN simulator” stack to fake being in a simulation; a 200-line Flask app, SQLite, and a cron job to regurgitate a few canned comment templates would get you 90% of the way there. Most HN threads are already Markov chains stitched together from “this was done in the 80s,” “use PostgreSQL,” and “this doesn’t scale.”
If the author agrees, I could try to learn Serbo-Croatian (I'm Polish, good with languages) and translate it to English. I'm kinda a burnout Linux geek, who cannot look at computers much more. Translating a book would be fun, but I would need some sponsoring. Amadeusz at [the old name of icloud].com
the book is licenced under CC BY-SA so you should be OK with translating as long as you follow the licence terms.
you could try do a first pass in an AI model to translate and then proof-read it for quicker translation. good luck, it would be fun and potentially impactful ;)
To my knowledge, sadly I can't find an English version of it. I'm too wishing for a future English version so that I can read it. But I guess it will be a lot of work to translate it into English.
