Kde has good hdr with Wayland but a lot DEs still are very much a crapshoot, yes

I don’t really understand what you’re getting at here.

Yes. All animals know exactly which human is touching them. They know who every human is, where they live, and their fears.

If a lion named duke that lives in Kenya ever gets to North America I am FUCKED.

I started tinkering with ai right around the time ChatGPT rose to prominence. Locally. On my own machine.

I’m not a doctoral level researcher but I mostly get the tech.

I couldn’t agree more. People use ai as a blanket term and don’t understand the difference between an LLM and GAN or any of the dozens of other kinds of models.

If it’s ai it’s bad. Just full stop. Like. The anger of people decrying the death of artistic beauty on subs that prominently feature ms paint stick figure drawings and shitty distorted images makes no sense to me. This isn’t costing anyone’s job. It’s fucking garbage content, with no agenda, and always was.

Having autonomous LLMs posting things is problematic but have ai generated shitposts isn’t.

There is fuck all wrong with using ai to make art to hang on your walls, or funny t shirts, or ridiculous banners, or funny pictures to share with friends. The people that decry the death of art have never bought anything in a gallery, they were fine with artists getting paid fuck all before ai. They weren’t contributing to artists’ living in any meaningful way.

And like. The most vocal critics seem to understand the least about it. Such that they hate it because it’s made with ai just assume that someone’s made it using OpenAI because that’s the only thing their rage-addled minds can process existing.

They say it’s theft and we should ban everything (how’s that working out for you?) instead of clamouring for fair compensation for anyone whose work is being used to train a model.

They’ll yell: all these models are based on theft. And sure. But a) I don’t give a flying fuck about a corporation’a right to exploit an artist and profit off their work and never have. And b) will respond to the suggestion that we create new models that fairly compensate people by yelling louder and becoming irate.

They’re not rational. There are many valid criticisms of the tech, but you can’t even talk to these people about addressing them. Because a lot of the criticisms can and should be addressed. They won’t hear it.

While I agree that execs are not people, I don’t think they’re being controlled by LLMs.

They’re already idiots for the most part though so what does it matter.

The forums are the tech support equivalent of two girls 1 cup.

I’m not sure Google has offloaded all of their thinking to LLMs.

Google still employs very very smart people.

They’d just have to be morally bankrupt human refuse to be contributing actively to the profit-driven destruction of the internet and mass public surveillance like they are, so the rest of your points still stand.

And while a lot of that intelligence may be wasted, it’s more a function of banal evil and corporate bloat than LLMs.

The file structure in Linux distros actually makes a lot of sense when you begin to understand the parts that don’t make sense.

But yeah. Unless you use something like bazzite the terminal is something you’ll need to use.

This frustrated me when i started using Linux. Then one day i had a neo moment and i was like “I know bash” it just kind of happened.

The best part of Linux , when you get used to the idea, is that anything can be anything and everything is a file.

You mean the shitty online forums where approved posters fail to understand the question and provide useless advice?

Or the posts with frustrated users just screaming into the void?

I don’t drive. But if I did. And I bought a new car. The first fuckin thing I’m doing is shielding any wireless internal components or outright desoldering the SIM card from wherever the fuck they put it.

Nothing about what these companies are doing is okay.

Who knows what the next generation of ai models may bring?

If language learning models really are a dead end then maybe the next big leap forward will bring with it positive change. Maybe not.

Someone give this person a crowbar.

I don’t know what they’ll do with it but I do know it’s he results will be awesome.

If you use ai as an additive technology rather a replacement to things then really cool, ethical oppurtinitites open up for its use.

Rather than training a voice actor for a small handful of npcs that say the same four lines ad infinitum,pay them the same amount to License their voice, train a model, and use that for the game. Pair this with an LLM and suddenly you have pcs capable of saying all kinds of hillarious shit.

Have the coders that always write box behaviour to write the behaviour of npcs. The give players the option to talk them into doing some weird LLM powered shit.

Like. You can use ai to add things to games. It doesn’t have to replace people’s

I think a part of why people hate it is that idiots are trying to use it to replace things people do.

Where it’s best is when it does things people can’t

404 media does solid reporting on topics that, in my opinion, matter.

I understand the sentiment but this is the kind of thing we need more of.

Cheats in single player games is a blast.

It gets old quick but it’s fun for a while.

I want LLMs to be used to create thousands of characters that have agency in like, Skyrim or something, and to watch the absolutely unhinged fucking chaos of what it creates.

I don’t want it to play games for me.

You’re right but that doesn’t mean I want that.

My sex port is absolutely dripping with chung
