you're clearly deliberately missing distinctions between artists doing individual pieces, which take time and work, and apps that can spit out thousands of "look-alikes" simultaneously in a fraction of time. the difference is

Apparently, undercutting (and other forms of predatory pricing) is not a market problem. To reiterate, they're pricing out other artists, and undercutting artwork (such as, commission work) prices, not just the price/cost of gener

it sure as hell will displace artists and wreck art market. people are already choosing to pay couple bucks for an app to get some "art" from a random company that repackages stable diffusion, which was built on unlicensed art, in

Google will not let you sign up without a phone number. It also won't let you activate 2fa without a phone number. Even if you do manage to sign up without a phone number or remove it from account, there's still a possibility for

it seems to be bit too opinionated and kinda overly exact in values, in some places. it's eager to go for some kind of look it prefers, instead of being more general (for it to be more flexible to fit within people's own tastes, p

you bring up human mind as if that'd somehow explain, or excuse, or absolve how broken and poorly planned AI systems are, which, unlike human mind, memories, or thoughts, are very real, and operate with data, precise, definite and not

reading this comment, it does come across as inattentive, unable to pick up on social cues and subtleties (or take them seriously, when they're laid out like that), and inconsiderate, all of which is very boomer just think back to your

you're forgetting one important alternative: to just not use and/or not do something. nobody asked them to scrape anything. nobody asked them to scrape copyrighted works. they could've just not done the shady thing, but they

that same laion that scraped the web for images, ignored their licenses and copyrights, and thought that'd do just fine? the one that chose to not implement systems that would detect licenses, and to not have license fields in their da

why do people bring up humans and their brains, as if it's gonna affect how models create and store image data/derivative data in a very definitive form of bits on a disk? just as a distraction?

why doesn't it really work and why do people come back and do it anyway? It's because cutting off is the most basic non-solution, that doesn't actually try to tackle the problem or fix anything. (Perhaps less so for 'man

one kinda similar app on windows is ManicTime https://www.manictime.com/ which can track opened apps, documents and URLs, and put them on a timeline. it can also automatically take screenshots (on a rolling period, limited

f1 key in its default 'help' function is so remarkably useless, i just remap it to Enter. and then, remap tilde to to Left and Caps Lock to Right, and you've got a neat little navigation block on the left side of the keyboard

google has some of the most inane 'security' measures. one thing it completely doesn't understand is VPNs (despite offering a vpn service itself), failing your login every time you try to enter from a different "location

sure, they could "keep it running", except it would get no new features and refinement, and would operate in a static (stagnant, as the world keeps moving on) barebones version. would it also be able to scale with increase in visi

yes, and? (edit: well, actually, no, you're just ignoring the lock-in part. but even if so,) in this case, it's a network that's more limited than others in terms of who's able to access it and what hurdles they have to

once you start using that kind of app with literally anybody, you start building a mass of users that's gonna end up dragging others into that walled garden or exclude others from using it. hell, even when you just start using it alone

yeah, they could've picked somebody less controversial, or nobody in particular, like a John Doe, or just put up their own profile, as a creator. otherwise, why give promotion to some random person? and why that person in particular? i

huh. ability to mute someone's reposts in your own timeline won't do much for purposes of browsing through that particular person's tweets though. it's not about 'how someone's tweets appear in your timeline&#x

lack of algorithmic feed (and the whole anti-algo slant) and lack of openly viewable likes on people's profiles are actually gonna backfire. mastodon is gonna get lonely and boring, because it's kinda hard to do content discovery,

how would commercialization (such as, selling things made with AI, like artwork, books, etc., monetizing AI models, like selling access to them) affect 'fair use'? so far, what I'm getting is that training a model on data may

it is this kind of attitude, 'whatever, just let the system use it', that has led us to where 2 GB, and then 4 GB, and now 8 GB, all became 'no longer enough'. (and apparently, 16 GB is no longer "enough" eithe

AI art itself is not the problem, it's the abuse of image copyrights. Companies continually dodge the question, redirect the conversation to "but is it art", make excuses like 'the scale is too big to control for image l
