They didn’t say AI produces low value art. They said AI doesn’t produce art at all.

I think there’s an argument about art being the emotions it invokes in the viewer rather than the creator. Humans can find art in natural phenomena, which also has no feelings or backstory involved.

I’m not really defending AI slop here, just disagreeing with your definition of art and the relation to the creator rather than the viewer.

Honestly feels like a scam for rich people. Spez just has to convince some suckers that Reddit would be profitable as he cashes out. Then they’re left with a dead platform as they kill it with ads and astroturfing.

This is honestly what I feel like most businesses are these days, just scams to convince other rich people to invest, so they can cash out early on. Basically the same stuff all the crypto currencies were doing.

Yep the whole Internet feels like a dying mall. There are still some places I go for specific needs, but I’d say my casual browsing of any kind just keeps getting smaller.

So he failed at that too? Or am I missing something

I’ve now had the opposite problem where some are too bright and didn’t come with a dim enough setting. It’s actually so bright it dazzles my eyes and I can barely see the thing it’s pointing at.

Pretty sure the founders kind of assumed we’d have a couple of revolutions by now

Even a democratic president doing what he’s done would be in jail. It’s not just because he was president, it’s cause he’s Republican

Why is Firefox a ‘platform’? I’m assuming chromium is for chromeOS devices, but I don’t know of any device that just runs Firefox.

Ya know, I’m really beginning to think that we live in the age where there is no longer a ‘customer’ anymore. At least not a human one. When even car companies are selling your data to advertisers now, I think the only ‘customers’ left are ad networks.

Except even advertisers don’t care either, because probably their whole company is just a shell game with money that rich people play against other rich people trying to see who will be the last one holding the stocks when the company goes under from incessant short term decision making.

Also training data works on consistency. It’s why the art AIs struggled with hands so long. They might have all the pieces, but it takes skill to take similar-ish, but logically distinct things and put them together in a way that doesn’t trip human brains up with uncanny valley.

Most of the right wing pundits are experts at riding the line of not saying something when they should or twisting and high jacking opponents views points. I think the AI result of that sort of training data is going to be very obvious gibberish because the AI can’t parse the specific structure and nuances of political non-debate. It will get close, like they did with fingers and not understand why the 6th finger (or extra right wing argument) isn’t right in this context.

Freight, by law doesn’t actually get priority, but that law is basically never enforced which amounts to the same thing.

Sorry I’m out of touch with this these days, but does the esrb even matter anymore? At least on PC a lot of games aren’t even rated. Or if they are, it’s barely a factor. And lots of kids just play mobile games, which also aren’t rated by the ESRB either.

Technically speaking this sort of 'time stop’s phenomenon would have to selectively keep time going for certain objects. Otherwise you’d suffer to death because the air molecules are frozen or cause some sort of weird radiation issues from atoms colliding with other atoms as you moved while other things didn’t.

Turns out most of the US government relied on norms, traditions, and basic human decency, but very little of it was actually codified into law. Which in this day and age is like having no rules at all since no one has any shame anymore

Basically any movement against bad people who happen to be part of a minority seems to get hijacked by bigoted people eventually.

In theory, I’m fine with some ads. Useful ads in places where it makes sense (like shopping). Small, unobtrusive ads that fill up otherwise empty space. But ads are like capitalism and cancer. They just continue to grow and grow and get worse and worse until they’ve utterly destroyed the thing they were meant to support. If you let them in, it’s only a matter of time until they completely take over. No one has managed to do ‘reasonable ads’ for any great length of time.

It’s just one of those things where in theory it sounds workable, but in practice it’s highly destructive and corrosive towards everything.

Didn’t realize lemmy was popular enough to attract these sorts of trolls yet

Good ol’ unbirth.

I really don’t understand how people who are reasonably devout followers of different religions ever end up together. Almost all of them make it against the rules or at least extremely problematic. Why would you marry someone that your religion says is going to hell because they don’t believe what you do? And if you do it anyway, why would you stay in that religion? Makes no sense.
