We spent the five years training the model. Manually. With Captcha data.

Now we’re teaching it not to run traffic signals, hit motorcycles or busses, or try to drive up stairs.

Can you articulate why?

Sounds like a decent candidate for an open source replacement project.

Seems like EA doesn’t want to make games anymore. Folks should oblige them.

Actually, it has nothing to do with human creators at all. It means that AI can’t hold a copyright. But the person who wrote the article would have to actually be able to comprehend court documents to understand that, so here we are.

Talk about an inaccurate headline. The conclusion here isn’t that AI art can’t be copyrighted, it’s that AI cannot be a copyright holder. But it’s AI, so we can’t actually expect anyone to pull their head out of their ass and give it enough thought to write an article that isn’t garbage.

Instead we have yet another thread about this case in which no one actually has any idea what the ruling was. Very informative.

Right, but this is fundamentally at odds with the ‘Linux for everyone’, ‘Linux for gaming’, and ‘Linux can replace Windows for most use cases’ rhetoric.

If you enjoy Linux for its own sake and you like fiddling around with it and learning its ins and outs, it’s fantastic. But if you just want the OS to get out of the way so you can get back to what your were doing, it leaves some room for improvement.

We can’t have both, and that’s fine. There’s also an argument to be made for people getting used to dealing with a command line because it’s something of a prerequisite for getting away from increasingly shady corporate overreach. But that doesn’t help me when the solution to getting my extra mouse buttons and precision mode is to create a well documented bug report for Solaar and then wait. I just want my push to talk to work, you know?

That gap is definitely shrinking as time goes on, but it’s still an obstacle and it’ll always be part of the conversation around GNU until it’s no longer a concern for one reason or another.

What Nebula really needs is some content that isn’t just people talking about stuff. I can appreciate a video essay now and then, but it’s the whole platform. I have a subscription right now, really only because of Philosophytube, but I can’t really find anything I’m that interested in watching.

It really needs some like sketch comedy, tech reviews, dumb little videos of people out doing stuff, or like, cats sitting on roombas. Cater to something other than wanting to listen to people blather their opinions all day.

I’ve begun blocking their communities in my accounts and I plan to defederate from them when i get home. Fuck em. Place is infested with exploding heads anyway.

I dream of this kind of storage. I just added a second m.2 with a couple of TB on it and the space is lovely but I can already see I’ll fill it sooner than I’d like.

I think so. It clicks the button, it just won’t hold it. And the precision mode dpi adjustment thing doesn’t work at all.

Honestly, if Solaar supported the dpi toggle and remapping my extra keys on my MX Ergo, I might be using Linux daily. But it doesn’t. So I can’t. :(

If it was just Musk, it would be a lot easier to chalk up to one idiot. But with so many idiots acting in concert? That sounds like somebody’s in their ears. Probably without them realizing it.

I honestly can’t tell if it’s just a collective expiration date for a culture of wealthy incompetence, or if someone’s been manipulating powerful idiots, but it almost feels like there’s a coordinated effort to stir an abandonment of corporate platforms.
