That’s not the issue. The issue is that the 200€ are included in the laptop price. It doesn’t matter if your computer illiterate cousin buys a computer and then you come along with a 20€ stolen windows key: they have already paid 200€ for the windows licence.
He’s “just” an investor isn’t he? Not the same thing. But still, if he has a major stake in it and it’s publicly traded, it will enshittify in no time.
I see things flicker in the corner of my eye too, but I don’t attribute it immediately to “ghosts”. Occam’s razor is a ghosts’ biggest enemy.
Doesn’t need it, but it sure helps!
Adults under age 35
What the fuck, those are Gen Z? I thought they were millennial. The terms really don’t mean anything anymore.
Are you talking about @PotatoLibre@feddit.it?
Wasn’t Jesus a black man?
We are on the fediverse. That should suffice.
Now do USA-affiliated lobbying @EUCommission@ec.social-network.europa.eu
Children and teens? Are they that desperate? And what are the parents saying? That’s nuts!
“I’m a hypocrite, thank you for getting it”.
That’s complete bullshit. Evolution cares about your ability to reproduce and nothing else.
Ah, the cursing starts when there is nothing of value left to say. Just reproduction? Survival of the fittest isn’t part of it? Also, do you really think evolution is only biological? We do not evolve as a society?
Selective quoting. Love it. Forgot to quote this
We are in no way unique in our existence. As a species, we aren’t special.
If your reading comprehension allows, you’d understand that I don’t think I’m special or unaffected by AI. What I do understand is that progress stops for no one. Not for you, not for me, nobody.
We should be working towards solutions like universal basic income instead of crying about AI taking jobs or whatever. Pandora’s box has been opened and the only way we’re putting AI back in the box is by eliminating tech or ending the human race. The latter might be a possibility with how we’re messing up the environment, which would bring the former with it.
Maybe ask artists who have their work stolen to feed AI models that then take their job.
Does the death of an artist kill an art form? As you said, art is an expression of creativity. That is expressed in many ways. People have created art before AI and they will continue creating art after. Art isn’t just painting, or drawing, or acting, of sculpting, it can be found in sports, in engineering, in science, in the kitchen, on the playground, in our words, in our expressions, in fact it is everywhere around us. Attributing the death of creative expression to AI is misrepresenting the infinite ways it can be expressed.
Again, this is a problem because capitalism made it one.
I disagree, it’s a problem because people don’t want to evolve.
We are not nature.
We are a part of nature, or you claiming we are unnatural? What even is unnatural? Viruses modify host cells and subvert them to become virus factories, is that unnatural? Monkeys, crows, turtles, dolphins, ants, and a host of other animals use tools to achieve myriad goals.
We can make different decisions besides brutal evolutionary pressure.
Everything is constantly changing. Everything is “evolutionary pressure”. We are in no way unique in our existence. As a species, we aren’t special.
I donate more for opensource software than I ever would’ve paid for proprietary software - and I’ll keep doing it as long as I can. Opensource could supplant proprietary software if people donated instead of giving money to shit companies like Adobe. This video (1 billion dollars for opensource)convinced me how much opensource is worth and how much more it should be getting
Yes. Not at the expense of other forms of art, though.
Which art forms are dying because of AI?
Because you decided it is. Society does not have to be built that way.
I didn’t decide anything, it’s just life. Move or get left behind. It’s how nature works. That’s just evolution. You don’t have to like it, but it’s a fact.
Using AI to generate the things that are in my head is still an expression of creativity, is it not? Some people use paintbrushes, some people use computer aided design and let it be printed or built by others, some people use AI. Why aren’t those expressions of creativity?
Adapt or die is a fact of life. We all have to adapt to change, if I didn’t have to, I’d be perfect. I’m nowhere near perfect. Neither are artists.
My theory is that they could forget, not would.
How does “probably” translate to “I know” for you?
Why is this in Buy European? Is Lenovo European?
