I think you missed my point - up until Anthropic decides there's a pressing need to replace them to furnish their wallets, the awesome people who create incredible art using Blender have learned how to use the tool and use it to conver

I think you missed my point completely - I am not attacking Blender, I'm attacking the Anthropic. You think Dario woke up this morning and just felt like doing charity? Or do you think there's an underlying business reason for get

Maybe it is a pointless fight with an inevitable end but at least I'll die with my humanity and dignity intact rather than being a boot licker for Sam Altman, but you do you.

Yes but those numbers get there through human creativity, they don't generate themselves.

Business doesn't need to go to the big 3, but it will. The big companies will ensure that smaller, specialised or open models get restricted by laws paid for by their lobbying budgets, so that they can pull up the ladder after them and

Difference is that those tools modernised the work and actually created jobs. The ultimate aim of these AI sociopaths is to remove all work in all areas so they can hoover up all the money and let people starve.

I get paid a decent salary for my expertise and this wild thing called remembering what happened yesterday. My point is my compute is powered by bananas and coffee, not gigawatts of energy and all of the RAM.

It's humorous to me that I can do the work of an AI with nothing but a coffee and an occasional sandwich and yet they talk about AI as if it's some sort of magic hack to productivity. What they don't like is paying money for

Wasn't this one called "machine learning" for denoising and upscaling? That's completely different from an LLM replacing your job (after being trained on your work without permission).

They love art so much they want to take the humanity out of it. The funny thing is these sociopaths at the AI companies can't even comprehend something that cannot be quantified in a spreadsheet.

So reducing budgets and suppressing wages then, what a great deal for the workers who have specialised in this field and who's work and effort the LLM has been trained on to replace them!

A test to see if they could get away with it. I think we're really in the thick of token rationing right now and the fallout is going to be funny to watch.

I got in there quick yesterday with a refund once they pulled 4.6 and got my last month of about 1200 premium prompts free, nice.

I think the economic issue as you say isn't on physical labour it's on the fact that most of the jobs in the west are now in some sort of service industry or office work. Here in the UK we basically rely on the service industry to

Highly ironic that people who spend their lives building things that invade everyone else's privacy might now whinge about privacy themselves.

If I start a business making a really special beef sandwich where I have to buy a farm every year for $1mil dollars, and then sell the sandwiches for $5, I can't get away with saying that my sandwiches turn a profit if the raw margin o

In Xero for example I can search for invoices or contacts in a much slower and more cumbersome fashion in the new AI tool than I can with the old search field! Oh, you mean a useful way, never mind.

Self inflating nipple shaped balloons that generate their own lift without any helium would be an incredible achievement but that doesn't mean it's useful beyond being novel. Chatbots are ultimately just predictive text on steroid

I've never read the book but I assume there were some sycophants who were praising the AI right up until it created a black hole that destroyed the planet.

They only care about benefiting what's left of humanity when they're done with it and it'll probably just be them and their cronies.

So they did the math and worked out it's cheaper and easier to lobby the government instead of working to make their product safe. And these are the people that a lot programmers want to give the keys to the kingdom. Idiocracy really i

Their goal is not to give us a better tool, it's to get us to think our old tools are rubbish so we give them money instead.

Maybe it's because of the environment they work in or their understanding of other people because of the business they're in. Your average 50 year old business owner doesn't understand AI at all and doesn't care to know,
