Things like LineageOS are a workaround, not a solution.

The solution has to be legal, not technical. Companies have to be stopped from trying to fuck with users’ property rights in the first place!

I have never heard of any generative AI system capable of doing anything useful with 3D models. If you ever find one, PM me to let me know!

Everybody knew dot-coms in 2000 and houses in 2007 were bubbles, too. But they kept investing anyway, because they didn’t know when it would pop and FOMO is a helluva drug.

Also, something to keep in mind: https://awealthofcommonsense.com/2014/02/worlds-worst-market-timer/

I have a domain, but all I use it for so far is email (with an email provider, not my own mail server, hosted locally or otherwise). I’d still call that “usable,” though.

And then there’s a follow-up scene the next day, where George tells “Calvin Klein” about the encounter.

Having George retell it worked way better than showing it directly, IMO.

The part that was actually in the released movie ends at 0:45. (You can also tell by the fact that the audio/video very obviously changes to daily footage at that point.)

See also the scene afterward where George tells “Calvin” about the encounter, which IMO worked way better than actually showing the rest of it:

If you can’t quote every line from memory, clearly you need to watch the whole trilogy again.

I’ve been on Lemmy too long, because this is starting to sound like a double entendre.

Too bad ChatGPT lacks the self-awareness (let alone any actual reasoning skills whatsoever) to appreciate it.

I’m well aware of the meme. You used it inappropriately.

It’s not. it’s a completely different set of steps (at least at runtime). The Venn diagram circles don’t touch.

If your training data has a pixelated circle as an input and a circle as output, your neural network will “upscale” your pixelated circle to a circle. If your training data has a pixelated circle as input and a high definition pie as output, your neural network will “upscale” your pixelated circle to a high definition pie. Even if it’s the same algorithm in both cases.

it’s applying advanced lighting methods like subsurface scattering to make materials more lifelike.

It is not. It is approximating the results of training data consisting of output images that have been rendered with subsurface scattering. It isn’t actually running the subsurface scattering algorithm.

It’s not yet been decided what monetary damages, if any, will result from the ruling, nor is it clear if Subnautica 2’s release will be affected.

Sounds to me like fair damages would start with removing Unknown Worlds from Krafton’s ownership.

Emissions from AI datacenters offend because of just how unnecessary they are.

They made an EV version!

It’s mainly that I just don’t bother marking things read, so that’s like two and a half years of replies.

I regretted not cropping that as soon as I posted it because I knew someone would comment on it, but I couldn’t figure out how to crop after-the-fact on my phone and re-upload. The screenshot utility can do it, but the image viewer can’t.

There’s more you can do than that! It’s not as if we live in some sort of laissez-faire hellhole where corporations can do whatever they want; we could lobby the government to regulate it.

(I’m invoking Poe’s Law so hard even I don’t know if I’m sincere!)

Ah, I see how we differ now. I think the key isn’t just that they’re stupid, but more importantly that they’re incurious, mean-spirited, cowardly, and duped by propaganda. And that the leadership is malicious and corrupt, not merely incompetent. As such, I think just about every other dystopia is a better fit than Idiocracy is. 1984, Fahrenheit 451, Star Wars: Andor – take your pick!
