This always makes me laugh

Eating roadkill on the reg

Daily reminder that the fact RFK has a platform for the health policy of the US and not a grave after having his brain literally eaten by worms entirely due to his own risky behaviour, is fucking ｃｏｍｉｃａｌｌｙ　ａｂｓｕｒｄ

The speech free platform continues to remove speech.

Once you’ve got a job in your chosen career, 99% of situations don’t give any shit about what happened before that.

MSN messenger died for Skype

Skype died for Teams

We’re not on a great trajectory here

(Yes Lync too, but everyone was pleased about that)

Also tangentially related: one of Tim Berners-Lee’s regrets is the two forward slashes between the protocol scheme and the domain name

Also I love that the older BBC articles are frozen in time like this

Holy shit, they automatically activate it on computers without an account to back the key up to?

That’s just malicious

Well one of the main problems people are having with AI is that it doesn’t get things correct every time.

I mean, if they adjust it away from the correct assessment that modern conservatives are actively malicious morons, it’s probably going to be so bent out of shape that it’ll be incapable of telling anything remotely truthful.

Proton for ARM is not (currently) a thing, if that’s a factor

If the court would now draw its attention to exhibit B

(how long is this)

Is it clever enough to not send STOP to engagement fishing spam? Like the ones that use the STOP message to add you to a list of people who actually read the thing and then you’re spammed a load more for months?

I think there’s an alpine build too if your system has low oxygen levels

(Sorry, you made me think of this article)

I’m in the same boat as you, with decades of projects I want to be able to open.

However, OP mentioned Reaper, which has a native Linux version! So as long as they’re not using a load of VSTs, and the ones they do play nicely with Linux, it could work out for them

The only way is to give it a go and find out though

I was asked a question about AI art so I answered 🤷‍♂️

Even tried to bring it back on topic

Given my comment got half the upvotes of the post, I could make the argument that half of the people in here agree with me saying it was a bit rubbish.

Like be honest, do you genuinely think the original post is actually more memorable and effective* at conveying the message than the Murdoch one? If you do, that’s fine I guess, art is subjective, but you don’t get to insist everyone else has to love it.

*This is a lefty memes community remember, that’s the important thing

Yeah if it’s actually got artistic merit or is actually interesting in some way sure, life isn’t black & white, so I won’t be either. Cards on the table, I’ve got some issues with how some of the big models have been trained and deployed, but no real issue with the technology itself.

The AI art will be at most as good as the effort going into it, and honestly it’s pretty clear that 90% of the stuff you see posted around at the moment barely had 30 mins spent on the idea.

I can guarantee I’m not gonna like much of any traditional art where it’s clearly low effort and derivative either. The best art does something new and interesting

You can be friendly to it, but that doesn’t mean you need to like everything. People are friendly to traditional art, doesn’t mean they have to like every single piece of traditional art. People can be into food, but they don’t need to like every single cuisine.

Surely you wouldn’t take the position every single thing on here needs to be GenAI? So in the middle is where we find ourselves.

So be discerning, you owe yourself that at least.

Back to the topic:

This piece is just a bit rubbish and kinda unmemorable. The one I linked did a better job of conveying the same message in a more memorable way IMO, and it seems that opinion is shared by other users of your instance.
