Why are we imagining a hypothetical situation in the context of talking about things that are currently happening? It's an interesting thought experiment but it's kind of irrelevant because brain implants are nowhere near that lev

There's currently like 10 lawsuits against generative AI companies that are working through the courts including the one from Sarah Andersen, Kelly McKernan, and Karla Ortiz, one from Getty Images, one from the Author's Guild, and

It's not that simple. Actors have a right to protect the use of their likeness in commercial projects like ads, and using a "soundalike" is not sufficient to say that isn't what you were trying to do. The relevant case l

Now you can be like every other obnoxious tech blogger putting ai art crap in their header.

Right, the point is not that the feature is opt in, the point is that you can no longer trust the maintainers to make good decisions.

AI is so creatively bankrupt and hated by nearly every professional in the industry that isn't a programmer that using it feels like a real liability.

Why do you have an issue with them taking someone's likeness to use in their product but not with them taking someone's work to use in their product?

Yeah sorry not trying to get banned. I'll just get a mac.

Same. Our household has one pc from 2019 running windows, 3 on Linux, and one Mac, plus two macs from work. The only thing keeping me on windows is league of legends and stone art programs and I might get a mac to do that.

In the United States, protection from unlawful search and seizure has been in our constitution since the very beginning through the fourth amendment. This is a critical component of what we believe are human rights, so we will continue to i

I'm skeptical that AI can actually replace writers like ai people seem to think it can. In marketing, I don't think the actual writing is really that much of the cost compared to paying Google and meta and serve the ad, unless you

We're kind of failing by making AI that automates the things humans want to do.

Programmers seem to forget about how physics is the reason there's np-hard problems.

I agree that people who think we can replicate brains on von Neumann machines with our current understanding of the brain are idiots who don't know what they're talking about, but humans build things they don't understand all

I've not seen any of these "agentic" systems be all that useful in practice. Complicated chain of software where a lot can wrong at any step, and the probability of failure explodes when you have many steps.

I had this exact conversation with a friend of mine who was a lot more optimistic about the tech than I am and he agreed. Big tech is going to eat these guys and we're going to be left with some useful foundation models after we get ov

You can do it worldwide on iPhone 12 and up iirc, you just bring it to the apple store and they do it in a few hours. Not user replaceable but better than the whole phone.
