Not everyone does research like you. And it is definitely not rude to ask have you heard about x and your thoughts about it, especially if you tried something and it didn't work it could spark a good discussion.

i think what's going on here is similar to why celebrities are often curt with people that come up to them. Some celebrities are actual douchebags, but others are not necessarily so but just get so many people coming up to them and saying the same thing to them.

It comes down to two mismatches: first being the famous person's own patience, which is just a normal amount, but instead of usual number of others going up to them now it's 100 or 1000x the number of others.

The second mismatch is the information asymmetry: the famous person him/herself knows that they have gotten 100x people going up to them and saying / asking the same thing, and they know that they will continue getting this for the rest of their life, so they respond with annoyance, which is completely understandable. However, the average person going up to them isn't gonna think that many logical steps and realize this; they're just saying "oh cool, it's a celeb, I never see celebs. Let me try to talk to them!"

Fusion is the main idea behind solidcraft as far as I know. But it is NOT aiming to be a copy of anything featurewise unlike most stuff associated with artcraft (and solidcraft is not an official artcraft app despite the name, at least not yet).

This is indeed the most exciting thing. It feels a bit scary how good the frontier models are at creating stuff with these apps (that are like a few days old and very incomplete pre alpha stage yet already somewhat functional). The future is happening and I just spent a day rethinking my whole life.
