As much as I agree with the author, I’m almost positive he’s wrong about the majority of people hating AI art. It’s ubiquitous at this point, and by its nature that means tons of people are using it themselves. And, as long as it remains free, people are going to keep doing so.
Maybe that will change when physical reality overtakes hype-driven economics. Until then I can only hope AI art gets looked at the same way clipart was in the early 2000s someday soon. It is unbearably cringe.
Responding to the OP’s comment. Not sure why you think caring about polls and caring about what people think are different somehow. A poll is literally a measure of what people think about something
Not sure how a decentralized platform can be controlled by a single entity. Maybe lemmy.world, but not Lemmy itself.
oh lawd he comin
Do you have a list of the MAGA influencers that were revealed to be posting from other countries? I looked around and couldn’t find anything specifically about her.
It depends on the subject area and your workflow. I am not an AI fanboy by any stretch of the imagination, but I have found the chatbot interface to be a better substitute for the “search for how to do X with library/language Y” loop. Even though it’s wrong a lot, it gives me a better starting place faster than reading through years-old SO posts. Being able to talk to your search interface is great.
The agentic stuff is also really good when the subject is something that has been done a million times over. Most web UI areas are so well trodden that JS devs have already invented a thousand frameworks to do it. I’m not a UI dev, so being able to give the agent a prompt like, “make a configuration UI with a sidebar that uses the graphql API specified here” is quite nice.
AI is trash at anything it hasn’t been trained on in my experience though. Do anything niche or domain-specific, and it feels like flipping a coin with a bash script. It just throws shit at the wall and runs tests until the tests pass (or it sneakily changes the tests because the error stacktrace repeatedly indicates the same test line as the problem).
hey, there’s dignity in being a world champion cum wrangler
I didn’t see that word in there. I did see something like “stupid sack of shit” but I don’t recall seeing that specific slur. Maybe I missed it, can’t see the link anymore though.
Honest question: where is there a slur in that link? I’m not sure if I’m just missing it or if there’s a word I don’t know is considered a slur now in there.
When your entire manufacturing process is run on the back of slaves, the product is cheap enough that the shipping cost doesn’t matter.
The further we get from 9/11, the more impossible it is to even conceptualize the future. Like, idk what kind of jacked up shit happened to the timeline that day, but it was bad. Maybe tower 7 was the fucking gateway to the multiverse and some Doctor Who shenanigans happened when it fell.
We’ve reached the point where MTG and Candace Owens are actually saying reasonable things that no one in leadership positions is allowed to say. I sincerely do not know what could possibly happen next.
I don’t think you can advocate for anything even remotely on the “right” in political discussions anymore unless you mean MAGA. That well is so poisoned at this point that everyone is going to assume you’re a MAGA troll wearing a mask the second you voice any right-leaning opinion.
It’s pretty unfortunate. There are plenty of “live and let live” types in the US that identify informally as libertarians and would make great allies.
Your filesystem seems to have errors. Have you run fsck? That may or may not fix the problem, you may just have a bad ssd on your hands.
edit: that last screenshot is showing a read error on the SSD, even though SMART is passing. Smells a lot like a bad SSD to me.
Yes. And so much stupider.
No, the drop safety thing was “fixed” a while back. This is about a class action suit due to the reports of uncommanded discharges in holsters.
No question this guy is a tool, he’s posting on LinkedIn. However, he’s not wrong about startups being a bad fit for anyone looking for work-life balance. You’re literally trying to build a business from scratch as fast as possible before the seed money runs out, and your compensation is usually more equity than salary. No time for anything but work in that scenario, or no one gets paid.
Brother, what Lemmy instance do you think this community is on? You aren’t going to get a good discussion with this topic here.
This does not appear to be true. There was a bit of budget fuckery, and the state was certainly impacted by tariffs/deportation/bullshit caused by Trump, but there doesn’t appear to be anything to back up this tweet.
Not a mod, but this violates rule #3 and should probably be removed:
Posts should use high-quality sources, and posts about an article should have the same headline as that article. You may edit your post if the source changes the headline.
There’s a jillion real things to post about here. No need to spread misinformation just because it sounds like something you’d want to be true.
Employees have to pay for basically everything in the US, so salaries have to be a lot higher here. School, childcare, healthcare, retirement, you name it. Also, all those things are more expensive here because they’re provided by companies that need to make a profit. It sucks.
The difference with AI art is that it’s not a byproduct of a moneymaking venture, it’s the product itself and it doesn’t get made unless someone prompts a generator to make something. Not saying the slop being generated for ads isn’t widespread, just that marketing slop existed way before AI art did. If the general population didn’t respond to AI art well, it wouldn’t be in ads (or at least not the ones targeted widely) because it wouldn’t make enough money to be worthwhile.
I don’t like AI art, but I also don’t want to frame it as a big conspiracy. It removes friction that artists used to benefit from, and the output is something most people are at worst neutral to (for now). Granted, that friction was removed by stealing hundreds of billions of dollars from artists to train the models, but your average consumer doesn’t care about that at all.
