Because you can talk to it and it’s programmed to make you think it knows a lot and is capable of doing so much more.

People expect it to do more because chatgpt was trained to make people expect it to do more.

It’s all lies, of course. Chargpt fails at more than the simplest of tasks and can’t use any new information because the internet is full of ai generated text now, which is poison to training models. But it’s good at pretending.

What artists do you know that make money off their art?

this is such a bad take, I present to you, society. and the hundreds of thousands if not millions, tens or hundreds of millions of employed (either self or through businesses) artists.

and using the “starving artist” as a goal we should transition to just really sucks in concept. I’m not sure you would say the same if it was your profession.

I know reddit lemmy is full of techbros but geez have some compassion for other people. Oh wooweey i can type words and not have to have someone else do an art, I’m an artist now, everyone else can starve

Capitalism optimizes for lazy over good. Who’s going to be able to pay rent as an artist in your dystopia

They have one, but you also want information to be where people are. Especially if where people are is full of misinformation and rumours.

Your personal usage does not align with the majority. Look at tiktok, it’s social media based around endless video files. It’s not an occasional text or email, it’s hundreds of videos that your constantly scrolling through.

What about the content creators? I don’t care about Google, but I want the people who make the things I enjoy to get paid.

Sure, you can subscribe to patreons, but you can’t subscribe to everyone’s, and frankly, 99% of people don’t subscribe to any.

I guess we can all just say ha doesn’t matter I got mine and try to not think about it. I guess that is the plan.

It is, but we have a society based around profit making not a good ecosystem with high quality products. You’ll need to fix the former before the latter will actually be taken up.

Or you could just skip all that and plant seeds in soil, with a larger farm outside of the city

Efficiency doesn’t matter when we have huge amounts of low-cost arible soil. We don’t need to make the most of every square meter when it’s cheaper and easier to just put seeds in soil. This is the problem.

Hydroponics are cool technology that is in every way “better” but useless.

This is really only a useful technology for hydroponics, which is really only a useful technology in places that are short on arible land, but the realities of globalization means good luck beating the costs of importing from places that have more arible land than you.

Still neat, I would have liked to have seen an explanation for the change

1. it’s basically fine and unoffensive ui to 99.9% of people
2. people see it as functionally free because they bought prime for free delivery
3. People don’t know how to pirate

Did you try searching for NSFW in the settings? There’s an option for it

That’s not absuing it, that’s it being successfully used.

We want young people to use public transport, oh no, the young people are using public transport, the horror.

We do one thing. Must do other thing. Smart.

They want to use it as fuel again

They take advantage of viewer federation a lot, webrtc is used, so all the simulated browsers are sending the video to each other rather than hitting their server. So their setup is really just a part of the p2p swarm, like a single client in a bitorrent network. Doesn’t use anything fancy above that.

Honestly, it’s only a setup that’s gonna get far if you serve very few videos, and the P2P client rate is high. Their “real world” assumption of 50% of all clients being p2p enabled is way too high, and they couldn’t limit p2p bandwidth so all the clients were sending data to each other at lan speeds.

It’s interesting, but it needs to actually leave the simulation and enter real world load to know how things shake out.

Shockingly, the American president does not have jurisdiction over the eu. I mean, they know this, they it’s more political hot air for nothing, and we give them the attention they want for it.

No one is saying pay employees less. Spotify needs to figure out how to make its business work. That’s for sporify to figure out. If you think Spotify deserve more of the pie when they contribute… a download server, vs. the artists who do all the actual work, then you can honestly just fuck off. We live on totally different sides of the conversation, you want to shill for big tech, I want the artists that make the music to get paid.

My point is that one is a greedy, evil businessman. The other is a greedy, evil conman.
