Happy to help.
There are a lot of things in human society you are expected to 'just know,' which is silly. Human social dynamics is so complex psychology, sociology, and their various related fields are possible doctorate fields, but when someone says 'How do I know the difference between, 'love' and 'love love?' people will just say, 'You just know.'
Not it, but I'll have to check it out. Looks cool.
This would make a great little lore item in some RPG to explain why there's a spell list.
'We have literal magic that can raise the dead and move us across the world in the blink of an eye. Why the fuck am I having to do dishes by hand?'
'Because no one actually knows how the spells we have work. We just have these spells left over from when they did, and 'clean dishes' isn't one of them.'
I can appreciate the sentiment but lets not encourage reposting.

I'll toss on a bit more here if they can't. If you are great at making friends then you probably have some idea of 'signals' that someone is interested in someone. Flirting is the process of displaying those signals toward someone you find attractive in the hopes of getting feedback signals. It's a way of subtly allowing people to show their intentions without risking the embarrassment of a direct rejection. You can learn to play the game if you want. Some people really enjoy it. Some people don't.
Note, though, it is entirely possible to skip it if you are willing to be a bit forward, and simply say, 'I find you very attractive and like you a lot. Would you be interested in going on a date and seeing how things feel?' This risks the awkwardness of a direct rejection, the possible discomfort for the other person if they feel intimidated by you, but cuts through the extra layers of process and can be a refreshing burst of earnestness for many people.
You've asked how it's different from friend interactions. The baseline difference is expectation and physicality. In a basic friendship, there is little expectation and little contact. You might not expect much more from a low level friendship than from a decent stranger. (Pass me the salt) A good friend is someone you can expect more of, and by whom are expected of more. (Help me move.) A best friend is someone for whom you would be expected to take serious personal risk, and who you would expect to take personal risk for your sake. (I need to get across the border, no questions asked.)
Romance takes many forms but the general guideline is friendship, plus physical attraction. Low level friendship plus physical attraction is where friends-with-benefits usually sit. Good friendship plus physical attraction is usually a girl/boyfriend. Best friend status with physical attraction is where you get to long term partner status.
There are a lot of nuances to all of it, so that's a brutal oversimplification, but it's a place to start building a framework for understanding.
No, though that one looks cool.
I've played a bit of Scorn. Scorn is more grey organic shapes with a few fleshy bits. Whatever it was, it had lots of fleshy tones to the flesh. Oh, and a flashlight.
Much newer than SS2. HD graphics.
Almost no one knows how SD works. That's not the point. He's not contrasting it against some other GenAI concept to compare training cost. He's looking at it based on the results. You don't have to know how to build a CPU to compare benchmarks for ones built by someone else.
Actually, yeah, that's a bad metaphor from me. Comparing benchmarks would be comparing AI models.
He's not comparing benchmarks. He's comparing results, so it's more about maybe error rate than processing speed.
I guess it's like comparing the result of an approximation versus an explicit computation. GenAI makes an approximation of art. It very quickly spits out something that looks a bit like the intended answer. It even gets you close enough to be totally satisfactory for some purposes, in the same way 3 can be a usable approximation of π for some purposes. However, the picture is not the full purpose of creating art. Art is a form of communication, transmitting something from one mind to another using indirect means because telepathy isn't available. AI is not trying to communicate anything. It's just an approximation of something someone could say.
Miyazaki is someone with years of experience in creating art so he understands the 'language' of art better than some. He has 'fluency.' AI images hit the uncanny valley for artists because they are attuned to the difference between what an art is supposed to look like vs what the imitator approximates. They have the fluency to spot the fake the same way you might be able to spot someone speaking your native language as a mother tongue vs out of a phrasebook. Because he is 'fluent' in art, people take his words on art seriously, just as one would generally take a born-and-raised German's words seriously regarding German grammar.
