No no musk, you’re supposed to only piss off the poors remember?

MehBlah ,

Musk has tantrum. Just another day ending in y.

Drummyralf ,

But every day ends wi… oh. OH.

cholesterol ,

This one is tricky, because Lemmy hates both Musk and AI.

Starkstruck ,

Let them fight lol

timmymac ,

Are you saying Musk isn’t AI?

tankplanker ,

Musk banning Apple devices with how popular iPhones are to use twitter would hurt Musk more than it would hurt either Apple or OpenAI so it just sounds like a win win.

96VXb9ktTjFnRi ,

He’s saying he’ll ban them from his company, like employees in offices. He’s not saying he’ll ban users from using Apple devices.

Lemmy seems to hate any new technology, I’ve noticed.

Personally I’ve found GPT to be extremely useful as a search engine replacement, especially the implementations that cite their sources. That way you can actually fact check instead of wondering if it’s a hallucination. It helps me rely on reddit a lot less to find answers. I love that it’s being integrated with Windows. Makes finding files a lot easier, even easier than using Everything search.

Lemmy also hates crypto. They call it a scam, despite the fact that it’s now being traded on the stock market (BTC and soon to be ETH). I turned $12k into $36k, just by buying small amounts of BTC every paycheck since COVID started. I buy everything with crypto; there are Visa debit cards you can use to spend it. Crypto gave me enough financial wiggle room that I no longer worry about losing my job. Yet it’s a “scam”. Give me a fucking break.

Lemmy hates HDR. Every time I mention the reason why I haven’t switched to Linux yet is because of poor HDR support in KDE, I get ridiculed. “Why would you want your monitor brighter and more colorful? Mine’s bright and colorful enough”, failing to realize just how much more realistic “brighter and more colorful” makes an image appear. With a proper 1000 nit OLED display, it feels more like looking out of a window than staring at a monitor. Like going from a black and white to color TV. One of those things that you can’t go back on once you get used to it.

And although not a new technology, per se don’t even get me started on how much Lemmy hates cars. But I feel like I’ve ranted on long enough so I’m just going to stop talking here before my inbox blows up.

stoy ,

You are absolutely wrong.

GPT: Yes it is very usefull, but it got that usefull by being trained on data that user’s would not accept if they knew about it.

Crypto is a scam, the only reason it hold any value is because other people belive it holds the value. The data that is mined is absolutely useless, it is litteraly a stribg of numbers in a very particular order that serves no other fuction other than to represent itself. Crypto is insanely power inefficient and is slow to transfer money.

HDR is comming, it takes time, yes, in the mean time, HDR is a nice to have, it is not a critical peice of technology, stop bragplaining about your nice monitor and just ignore the threads about why you have not switched yet.

Hating cars is not Lemmy specific, but a growing sentiment of younger generations fewling hopeless for their future when pollution doesn’t stop, and public transport is a feaver dream for the younger generations in the US. Just block the fuck cars community and move on.

I would add for crypto (as for the stock market): I am happy for you and the gain that allows you to be more financially serene (which should not be obtained with the effort of a monetary investment: financial security should be guaranteed to everyone regardless of economic conditions or the ability / luck to invest money);

however the problem with crypto is that they do not invent anything new from a macroeconomic perspective, it is only the stock market that has found a new way to scam people, that is:

  • we will call scam any increase in value of anything done to the detriment of another person: the world system is a zero-sum system
  • we will call scam something that given its fictitious nature < such as crypto, stocks, government bonds> has no or very little correlation with the real economy but has the purpose of convincing investors to lend money.
  • we will call scam anything that is created with the sole purpose of earning money through the investment of money (therefore considering the economy as a sort of meta-economy), a game that holds up as long as people believe in it, differently from industrial capitalism, the IT one makes it even easier to produce fake wealth: create ever new and less innovative consumer goods (apps, devices, operating systems, etc…) closed in a walled garden and thanks to “capitalism as a service”, sell everything via subscription.
  • we will call scam any product, physical or not, that requires for its production an amount of resources that is not realistic for the capacities of the planet and is therefore not, in fact, sustainable in the long term
Psythik ,

The same argument you made against crypto can also be made for USD: it only holds value cause people say it does. I rather go with a currency that isn’t subject to inflation. Furthermore, if you don’t like the energy usage, then don’t buy a Proof of Work coin. Buy a Proof of Stake coin instead, like ETH, and rest easy knowing that you’re not harming the environment.

But hey, if you want to be poor for the rest of your life, that’s on you. I choose to break free from USD so that I actually have a chance at a future.

HDR has been around for over a decade now. Linux devs are just lazy. It is in fact, a critical piece of tech once you get used to it. Like I said, from going from B&W to a color TV. HDR monitors are not expensive. Even the cheapest Walmart brands have HDR now.

atocci ,

I think I’ve mentioned the HDR issue in every comment I’ve made about my attempts to daily drive Linux, but I’ve never seen anyone get mad about it. It’s also not the make it or break it issue that’s keeping me from switching full-time though.

xavier666 ,

Most of the comments about HDR on Linux is

  • "Yeah, that’s a weakness of Linux"
  • “Yes, it’s being worked upon. Hope it comes soon”
  • “Some distro X has partial support for it”

I’ve never seen anyone become mad, both on reddit and Lemmy

Musk raised $6 billion in a recent funding round for his would-be OpenAI competitor, xAI, whose first product, Grok, is meant to serve as a politically incorrect answer to ChatGPT. In addition to Tesla, SpaceX, and xAI, Musk is founder of brain interface startup Neuralink and tunneling venture Boring Company.

Seems pretty straightforward to me.

I can hate both things, and this move isn’t good for either one of them so I consider it an absolute win.

Yes but can you hate one for hating the other when you hate it as well?

ChefTyler1980 ,

Elmo hating Open AI (not all AI implementations just every AI implementation that isn’t his) isn’t the reason most people hate Elmo.

MacNCheezus ,
@MacNCheezus@lemmy.today avatar

Yeah, I get that. At the risk of overexplaining the joke, I was poking fun at the fact that Lemmy reflexively hates everything Elon does, but in this case, he’s actually expressing a sentiment most Lemmy users would agree with.

Tizen in the corner: “Pick me, pick me 🥺”

dinckelman ,

Even Samsung have practically given up on Tizen. In smartwatches, the plug has been pulled, and for smart TVs, it’s not updated anymore, because they probably realized that it’s a waste of effort

balder1991 ,

Is that even a battle worth fighting at this point?

I think they all know the safest option is to leverage Android’s ecosystem and add your own extras to it. Starting from scratch is like 90% chance of wasting lots of money and have no profit at all.

That’s why these massive projects aren’t usually started by companies, but by passionate individuals or orgs. They require a different incentive than the next quarter earnings.

dinckelman ,

Starting from scratch is a worthwhile investment, if you can carry it to completion. Samsung never do this, so it was a waste of time from the start. Admittedly, their Tizen watches were leaps ahead in performance, compared to the Android alternatives, but they completely gave up on attempting to improve any of them

atocci ,

What do their TVs run on now if they aren’t updating Tizen anymore?

dinckelman ,

The same shit, just not updated

Gestrid ,

Even a broken clock is right twice a day as the saying goes.

Though he’s right for entirely the wrong reasons, I’m betting.

suction ,

Didn’t read the article, what is he right about?

Gestrid ,

In a series of posts on his social media platform X, Musk shared concerns about whether Apple and OpenAI will protect users’ information.

He called the software integration between the two companies “an unacceptable security violation,” and said Apple has “no clue what’s actually going on.”

suction ,

He doesn’t know how Apple will use the technology from OpenAI - it’s definitely possible they just license it and run it themselves. So he and we have too little information to judge whether he’s right or not.

And also come on, it’s obvious he is just using the attention Apple’s announcement received to ride their coattails for his own PR, and as we can see that unfortunately works.

Trust me, he’s not even a broken clock. He’d never right.

Gestrid ,

Just based on what I’ve seen from other AI implementations (including Windows Recall), it seems like he was at least right that it’s a security nightmare.

I’m not saying he said that out of the goodness of his heart or whatever. He definitely only said it out of jealousy or some other self-serving reason.

My broken clock statement wasn’t meant to be taken as a compliment. It’s the opposite. He’s been wrong so many times that I’d gotten used to just pointing and laughing at anything he says or does. And it’s gotten to the point that I’m genuinely surprised he actually said something “right” for once, even if it was for his own selfish reasons.

suction , (edited )

I tried to explain that neither you, me, or him have any way of knowing what you say he’s right about. He and you are guessing.

He believes a heavily embedded AI integration on iOS with a 3rd party is a violation of security and privacy… because its not his 3rd party being integrated with.
