new image model out from OpenAI today. Some pretty incredible results.

"create an engineering schematic poster of the Project Hail Mary ship"

Clear, legible and realistic. No jank words.

My wife took this picture of a bronze banna the other day.

So I uploaded it and said now make a poster in the same style with the bronze banana.

lol, this is savage, all I did was ask it to make a poster in the same style about Elon Musk / Tesla's broken promises or missed timelines.

"Tesla: Hyped Today. Delayed Tomorrow. Maybe Someday"

That was "Now create a poster in the same style featuring all the promises and timeframes that Elon Musk and Tesla have missed."

Had it then make the inverse:

Certainly some nits to pick with some of the content, but it's incredible what it's able to generate in this model without mangled text and stuff.

Well, other than getting the propulsion and anti-radiation shielding wrong. But I suspect the AI didn't read the book. (Of course, I'm saying this not having actually seen the movie).

I haven't seen the movie either, yet. I did read the book though. 😁

The video How AI Is Saving Lives at Every Intersection by Undecided with Matt Ferrell explores how AI is revolutionizing traffic management to increase efficiency and safety, while weighing the significant privacy concerns that come with it.


Key Benefits of AI Traffic Systems

AI-powered systems like Surtrac (developed at Carnegie Mellon University) go beyond simple timers or ground sensors to optimize traffic in real-time 01:43 Opens in a new window :

Safety and "Near-Miss" Data

One of the most powerful applications is identifying dangerous areas before a fatal accident occurs 11:14 Opens in a new window :

  • Preventative Design: In Chattanooga, AI flagged "near-misses," allowing planners to install a crosswalk that reduced close calls by 100% 11:01 Opens in a new window .
  • Pedestrian & Cyclist Protection: Systems can detect people still in crosswalks and hold the light 10:24 Opens in a new window . In Vancouver, AI data helped make bike lanes twice as safe, leading to a 68% increase in ridership 11:40 Opens in a new window .

The Privacy Dilemma

The primary "catch" is the massive amount of data required to make these systems work 04:19 Opens in a new window .

  • Surveillance Risks: Modern cameras are capable of 1080p HD resolution, which could be used for facial recognition or license plate tracking (e.g., the Flock system) 05:43 Opens in a new window .
  • Device Tracking: Some systems collect MAC addresses from phones to track travel times through a city, potentially building a clear picture of an individual's habits 07:16 Opens in a new window .
  • LiDAR as a Solution: LiDAR (Light Detection and Ranging) is presented as a "privacy-first" alternative. It maps objects in 3D using lasers but cannot identify faces or license plates, making it easier to comply with strict privacy laws like GDPR 08:35 Opens in a new window .

Corporate Accountability

The video highlights recent friction between tech and regulators, such as the FTC's 5-year ban on General Motors and OnStar from sharing consumer driving data after reports of it being shared with insurers without clear consent 13:15 Opens in a new window .

The host concludes that while AI offers undeniable life-saving potential—like optimizing meal deliveries for the elderly during the pandemic—the challenge remains capturing those upsides without losing control of personal privacy 14:09 Opens in a new window .

And it's over, for now.


The verdict was unanimous. The jury began deliberating first thing Monday morning and reached its decision in less than two hours. U.S. District Judge Yvonne Gonzalez Rogers, who had the final say in the case, said she accepted and adopted the jury's findings.​
