It’s like in poker, show one, show all

I don’t remember people being offended by the word fuck in 2000. Sure on TV it could be considered dicey but on the internet it was pretty fair game

That’s only if you are in the subset of PC enjoyers who like state of the art equipment, expensive accessories and expensive recent games.

I consider myself a PC nerd but 5K is more than I spent in the last 10 years on the hobby. I’ve built my main rig for <1K, own a few raspberries and my home server is an old work laptop. It absolutely doesn’t have to be an expensive hobby.

Neuro divergent is when commonly annoying thing commonly annoys you

I doubt these tools will ever get to a level of quality that can confuse a court. They’ll get better, sure, but they’ll never really get there.

Did you listen to that hardcore history episode? It was crazy

Good point, i was thinking more about your regular old independent artist trying to make it with their art. Obviously someone who’s an online celebrity depends on generating outrage for clicks, so they are bound to display more divisive, over-the-top opinions.

The only reason people are throwing removed fits over AI/LLM’s is because it’s the first time the “art” industry is experiencing their own futility.

I would even go further and argue that the art industry doesn’t really care about AI. The people white knighting on the topic are evidently not artists and probably don’t know anybody legitimately living from their art.

The intellectual property angle makes it the most obvious. Typically independent artists don’t care about IP because they don’t have the means to enforce it. They make zero money from their IP and their business is absolutely not geared towards that - they are artists selling art, not patent trolls selling lawsuits. Copying their “style” or “general vibes” is not harming them, just like recording a piano cover of a musician’s song doesn’t make them lose any tickets sales, or sell fewer vinyls (which are the bulk of their revenue).

AI is not coming for the job of your independent illustrator pouring their heart and soul into their projects. It is coming for the job of corporate artists illustrating corporate blogs, and those who work in content farms. Basically swapping shitty human made slop for shitty computer made slop. Same for music - if you know any musician who’s losing business because of Suno, then it’s on them cause Suno is really mediocre.

I have yet to meet any artist with this kind of deep anti-AI sentiment. They are either vaguely anxious about the idea of the thing, but don’t touch it cause they’re busy practicing their craft - or they use the hallucination engines as a tool for inspiration. At any rate there’s no indication that their business has seen much of a slowdown linked to AI.

Truly makes you think. Maybe we do, actually, live in a society 🤔

That’s the problem with imaginary enemies. They have to be both ridiculously incompetent, and on the verge of controlling the whole world. Sounds familiar doesn’t it?

Yeah it certainly depends on the teacher. If you’re into that kind of history, Pacome from Blast made a gigantic episode about this in his “L’empire n’a jamais pris fin” series. One of the best youtube essays i’ve ever seen in French.

I had the same feeling with planet crafter. After a while you learn to run around with just enough materials to build a room and a door and bam, the whole oxygen management mechanic is neutralized.

where was that ? My hometown is like 20km from a city that was entirely burned down and had its population eradicated during the first Albigense crusade - i swear to God it was never mentioned to me. My parents hadn’t ever heard of it either.

From reading your post it seems like you could be interested by the Jesus movement (that is the jewish followers of Jesus, before catholicism was codified and adopted by the Romans as state religion). Everything that wasn’t authoritarian fear-based catholic was branded as “gnostic heresy” and purged from the canon, but there’s some real good shit that is very close to the core message of Christ.

A recent(-ish) example of gnostic christianity is catharism, which was a heresy that lasted for a few centuries in the South of France. They had no clergy, just a caste of ascetic wise men and women who would walk the land and dispense wisdom and judgement. Very egalitarian, very spiritual, very christ-like. As you can imagine, they got crushed in one of the rare “self-crusades” in history (meaning the King of France sent his own armies to burn down cities in his own country and murder thousands upon thousands of his own subjects). As you can imagine there is not one history teacher in France who will tell you about this episode.

dear diary today on Lemmy i saw a guy who was angry at a job title

I’m not sure what you mean. Integrating LLMs in a codebase requires the use of specific tools. Sure it’s not as established and wide ranging as “frontend” but it’s still something that you need to learn and work on if you want to do it well. Kind of like, you know, a skill.

yeah and we all know there is only the one type of software engineer. It would be ridiculous to separate them into categories depending on whether they work on frontend, backend, embedded lmao

I … I don’t know man !

I think some time around the year 10000 humanity solved most of their problem and the only remaining scarcity was “good living”. Like, cultures that had a sophisticated way of enjoying life through good food, good drink and good companionship suddenly came at a high premium. The people from SW France became insanely wealthy very quick, and a sort of federation was struck between the Gascony people, the Basque and the Brittons. It was really the only possible counter-power to the more colonialist and military minded Italians.

Boar religion could be described as Albigensian catharism, except in space. Their freedom-loving ways are despised by the Italian catholic church but the galaxy is so vast that religion wars never really break out, it’s just local skirmishes.

I haven’t yet determined what animal the italians have morphed into, really glad to hear any suggestion.

Oh and here’s a picture of the Assembly of the Perfecti, held annually at Baiona Station :

I think they have adapted to life in hard vacuum they just wear those helmet cause they look pretty

Since Gen art became a thing i’ve been using it episodically to create images of a civilization of space-faring boars, representing the future of my glorious South-Western France civilization. They raise ducks and grow wine in space, and the lore is getting a lot deeper than i first thought. It’s so fucking fun man.
