And to add a layer to the AI example that almost circles back to the original issue: there is a financial/time incentive to rationalize “it will do it better,” because it means you don’t have to do it at all yet you theoretically profi

Well that’s corner cutting/avoiding work so I can see it. But commenting on forums?

I do not understand why anyone would want an LLM to cosplay as them on a forum. I get maybe (selfish) idle curiosity but beyond that…?

Man GeForce now is surprisingly stable/smooth. I barely use it now (built a PC) but I got the $5 founders rate and have no intention of getting rid of it

Many municipalities have text message alerts these days. I doubt it’s 100% coverage but I bet most of us can live with that or currently do.

Sure but my point is the Twitter experience is trash and not required like, say, paying an evil ISP or interacting with Google (for 99.9% of people abandoning and fully dodging Google is incredibly difficult). It’s working out for him becau

> Part of the problem is that many parents aren’t educated themselves about what is good and bad for their kids. Examples include things like nutrition, screen time, even simple stuff like when to wean from bottles and keeping suffocatio

You have to admit, the “free speech” shield-wielding megalomaniac working so hard to keep people from freely accessing info isn’t exactly great optics.

People really need to just not visit it. You don’t need to browse Twitter to be on top of current events. Anything posted there will be available elsewhere within minutes (and hopefully it will have been vetted somewhat)

Then you can’t see what you’re doing. It’ll run with the HDMI unplugged but at that point you’re undoing a core reason for using it to begin with.

If the tech enables certain behaviors then it can’t be casually divorced from a discussion of how people use it. “Tech” isn’t inherently neutral. It’s made by people with intent for a purpose and how else it can be used must also be conside

Seriously I don’t even understand how this is a debate. If it’s your tool, you are liable for what happens with it.

Same complaint. The 1080p cap when mirroring is annoying and when it acts like a third screen it becomes a real nuisance.

They’re firing a gun in a room of people and going “wow isn’t it wild what a gun will do if we let it do its thing?”

I like jetkvm a lot but the splitter with the dual USB-c’s is really, really finicky and will say it’s not connected for seemingly no reason. They don’t even send you all the cables you need (which I’m sorry, but jetkvm team if you’re readi

And yet it has primarily been a negative so far with terrible stewards, so forgive me for not being so optimistic.

Portraits are not an artistic medium in the same sense, they’re something one creates with the tools of a particular medium. Painting is a medium, photography is a medium, both are capable of producing portraits. An LLM can produce a portra

Or be honest about what’s happening and interrogate both?

This is an often repeated statement online (like “fiduciary duty”) that way over emphasizes the risk. Parody media poses absolutely no risk to their trademark, not even a tiny bit of incremental “damage.” Companies don’t need to be bullie

This would be valid if we didn’t live in under capitalism, which reduces the way we spend our time down to dollars and cents.

It’s not a parallel. No one ever claimed photography to be the same as painting or some other medium - it was a new medium that wasn’t respected. AI is being treated and pushed as a replacement for every medium.

Perhaps I could’ve softened my comment but I don’t think it warranted this response. Why don’t you explain your initial comment instead of just being needlessly rude to somebody?

Private autonomous vehicles are the pinnacle of entitlement. It is one of the single least efficient forms of transportation we could possibly come up with. It is such a perfect example of the public bearing the cost of private gains. I am

A whole idea of a fleet of self driving cars for all of us to use just to further isolate ourselves and clog up our roads is just awful to me.

Do we really need to have this debate again? About how the quality of the “what” is the issue?
