I can see the utility, but there should be at least some critical operability in case the phone or app doesn’t work for whatever reason, to help avoid injuries like these
AI: “This code will create a memory leak and potentially crash the users operating system”
Me: “Nuh-uh”
AI: “Correct”
IMO I’d call “AI Artists” a type of Art Director, since they themselves don’t make the art but instead direct and dictate what exactly they want, and if the result is different they tweak their wording to direct the art into a different direction
Art Directing, whether for a human or a machine or otherwise, is still a skill itself and still has to be learned to get good results, but it’s distinctly different from making the art yourself so I wouldn’t call them “Artists” outright
Solar FREAKIN Crypto!
Exactly, nobody’s gonna wanna pay $20-$80 per month if they can just run an open source version for free
Classic proprietary L, ironically enough for "Open"AI
This article isn’t saying that AI is a fad or otherwise not taking off, it absolutely is, but it’s also absolutely taking too much money to run
And if these AI companies aren’t capable of turning a profit on this technology and consumers aren’t able to run these technologies themselves, then these technologies may very well just fall out of the public stage and back into computer science research papers, despite how versatile the tech may be
What good is a ginie if you can’t get the lamp?
Common proprietary L
I know you say that as a joke but I wouldn’t be surprised if the Bethesda splash screen genuinely had some actual performance cost
I don’t understand why I get zero choice
Absolutely agree, I use to get excited for new updates to anything, cuz like “yay new things” or “old things but less buggy”
But recently I’ve been absolutely sulking over the modern software updating paradigm of shipping perfectly fine updates with completely useless UI changes that absolutely nobody wanted so tech companies can justify having an in-house UI team
Like my phone, on Android 11 I set the custom color to a really nice red color, i matched it to my wallpaper and everything, I loved it
And then Android 12 hits, and that lovely red gets replaced with some bologna enthusiast’s spamcore aesthetic
I’m sorry, Material “You”?. Nah this is Material Somebody Else fr
And I can’t do anything to change the colors of my own phone
I hate being a slave to UI teams, let me change the colors atleast, damnit
I am so close to just rooting my phone ngl
Yeah, that’s what I’m getting at, proprietary software on Linux is just a step forward towards a fully FOSS future
For the most part, there aren’t many professional fields that have a good FOSS option, so in the meantime their only option is to keep using the industry standard until a good alternative matures like Blender has
At the very least, people would have the freedom to not use microsoft or apple while still working professionally in their respective industry, so that’s more free overall
Why not both? I don’t see how proprietary software on Linux will slow down FOSS at all, and it’ll only bring more users to Linux who otherwise have to use windows for their software, so overall more FOSS users in the community
And programs like Blender have already matured to a professional level, so I’m pretty optimistic that other FOSS apps will eventually follow, too
The 99th article about eco friendly bio-degradable plastic that’ll never see large scale use:
They’re changing their name to “Aylo”, not literal “Total Nonsense” and that makes me sad
Reddits giving a grace period to Infinity since it’s getting a subscription model developed, so they haven’t even started charging Infinity yet
Literally the only reason I occasionally go back every 3 or 4 weeks is to check if my old app moved to the subscription service yet, and so far it hasn’t
Build a Dyson Sphere and make $188 septillion/year
Bots making websites and filling it with bots so advertising bots will buy ads that will only be seen by bots
Yeah honestly completely the same here, I had no clue how to actually find anything, and I far prefer engaging with communities, not people
And Mastodon has no top sorting or anything, is it was kinda useless to me
