If you ask me, users kind of suck.

Pretty good. I mean bad choices.

Yes it is. It is and also a generalization.

And in the end, it doesn’t matter. The are tens of thousands of people dying each year to support the living standard you enjoy, but you have focused on ai. Your outrage is a fallacy.

Artists are always starving is because that’s how it’s always been. I don’t think it can be an argument for or against anything.

I’ve worked with ai image generation professionally and I can say that they are not missing new ideas if people using them aren’t. They are great for brainstorming new ideas. They can’t make a design, but are a great tool speeding up the process.

I love art. I go to galleries often. I don’t think ai can do that and will never be able to. Not true art like capturing a moment in time with the original style of the artist and their life experience. I don’t think ai is a threat to that.

He’s right. You have to use the tools at your disposal. It’s not only a matter of survival but also about streamlining your work process. Focusing on the main design decisions and letting the machine do at least some of the leg work when possible. It’s more pleasant like that.

I don’t mind people hating on ai. Everybody can not use it as much as they want.

Artists have been always starving. The future is such that if you can’t compete with ai , chose another profession where you can. That’s not something I want, but the world is changing and people have to change with it. That’s either with another profession or by voting in politicians that can redistribute the wealth back to them. There is no option where the progress stops , where the clock stops ticking.

That’s bullshit exaggeration and you know it.

Plus there are legally made models.

Massive energy is used to give you porn, its the way it is. Humanity needs more and more energy all the time. Making that one thing you don’t like the problem is not sensible.

I don’t know what you mean, but as a designer I can imagine my work without ai anymore. I get the same response from everybody I know In my line of work.

I don’t get banning it. At most for the ethical prudes is limiting one self to the models that were legally trained. But I have no problem admitting I am not one of those.

Omg. The damage has been done? Cows have been killed, because someone used an ai generated texture for mud.

I work a a software company that mainly develops one online software and people are used to work with computers. But even here I feel like there is some strange invisible barrier.

IT was trained to work on windows. What we do - everything works. The cost is there, calculated, it’s actually pretty small compared to everything else.

Changing is just unimaginable for a company like that - to take this risk, and for so little upside.

At a user level, almost no one would have an issue. But at the process level, damn.

I switched to Manjaro and it’s like nothing has changed for the work I do now.

At work we use windows and I don’t imagine that will ever go away. I don’t know enough about this stuff anyway, but I think there is to much work and risk involved to change.

Wasn’t this obvious? He didn’t need to go “all-in on ai” cause there is hundreds of thousands of people who tried the same thing already and everyone of them could tell him that’s not what ai can do.

That is absolutely true, but the intention of the question is different. The lorry is imaginary - imagilorry.

Yep, but universe is so empty.

Really?

Can we calculate this? Let’s do specs first. Let’s say we only drive until the next overpass, which is likely in the next few km , let’s say 5. And we drive 40kmh so for 450 second the lory is swinging around the universe trying to hit anything. Would it?

You can grow hot peppers and not be fragile as well. I hope.

Come on, nobody is going to eliminate poverty. That’s not on the agenda.

Plus we don’t even have a road how to make robots that could make other robots.

Yes and it’s not new. There have been failed attempts to get out of Microsoft by governments and companies around the world for more than a decade. Its hard. The cost is huge, the benefit vague and distant.

The only reason why is gaining ground now it’s because US got really crazy. Not because of the cost of Windows licences. Not even because of invasive AI.

It’s very much true. W10 was cause of pressure from companies and countries, not because of the odd Joe contemplating their os.

Any company may fall, but they can also fail from inaction. Ms has the option to get data no one else can. They can’t afford not to.

Fjallraven Nils. Best trousers in my life.
