'LLM-free' is the new '100% organic' - Creators Are Fighting AI Anxiety With an ‘LLM-Free’ Movement (www.theatlantic.com)

As soon as Apple announced its plans to inject generative AI into the iPhone, it was as good as official: The technology is now all but unavoidable. Large language models will soon lurk on most of the world’s smartphones, generating images and text in messaging and email apps. AI has already colonized web search, appearing in...

I don’t think this about trying to close it, but rather put a big fat sticker on everything that comes out of the box, so consumers can actually make informed decisions.

Muffi ,

I really like the idea of Nebula, but the way they market themselves as “creator owned” without being an actual workers cooperative seems deceitful (still much better than YouTube, though!)

Muffi ,

Switched to Tidal when Spotify announced their reduction in artist pay, and I can highly recommend it. The interface is much better, although lacking podcasts (but luckily there are many great FOSS podcasts apps out there).

Muffi ,

I liked having both in the same app until I discovered AntennaPod, which is far superior to Spotify’s podcast manager.

Muffi ,

I use KDE connect for remote controlling, so I never even noticed. But I can see that being an annoying loss.

Muffi ,

I really hope they start shipping to Denmark soon. We’re such a tiny market we often get ignored or forgotten.

Same. It physically hurts to see talentless suck-ups play the bullshit game and climb the hierarchy, whereas you get punished and kept down for pointing out the bullshit. My best decision ever was to escape the hell that is the field of software development, and instead get into teaching. Now my reward for a job well done is seeing my students succeed and I love it so much.

The conservative dream is the rebirth of a past that never existed

Using NVIDIA Graphics for gaming, I have had the most luck and best performance on Pop!_OS. Thanks to their easy driver-setup and Proton on Steam, I am yet to have a game not run properly.

Muffi ,

Comments like this is why I like Lemmy. No revenge fetishism or punishment fantasy. Simply a hope for justice and betterment, and acceptance of the fact that criminals are also victims. Thank you.

Muffi ,

Combine the two and we’ve got a proper Matrix situation on our hands

Muffi ,

He’ll do it on truth social.

Muffi ,

Private companies should not be able to do whatever the fuck they like. They have a very important responsibility, and they will not consider ethics over profit, unless we as a society force them to.

Muffi ,

All the greatest recent games run super well on the Steam Deck, so there’s no need for a giant console cosplaying as a router.

Muffi ,

This, and the fact that most stuff is invented by teams and not individuals. I think our tendency to name after a single person helps keep the hero/savior/Messiah complex of western society alive, and blinds us to the power of community and cooperation. It’s like “individual-washing” the past.

Muffi ,

The way the presenters had to talk over the voice to interrupt it was awkward as hell. It also seemed to pick up on background noise from the audience often and interrupt itself. That makes it unusable in loud public settings (which imo is great, I hope it will never be socially acceptable to chat loudly with your AI in public).

Muffi ,

Made the switch to Pop!_OS from Win10 half a year ago, and my machine’s been purring like a happy cat ever since. All my games still run (thanks, Proton!) and some even had a significant performance boost (RDR2 being the best example) with a 3090. Only problem I had was getting DaVinci Resolve to work properly, but I caved and bought the Studio version which runs perfectly.

Muffi ,

It had to do with encoding which works out-of-the-box in the Studio version, and not at all in the free version on Linux. I could’ve solved it by using something like Handbrake, but I didn’t want to add the extra step to my workflow. I also bought my Blackmagic 6K second-hand, so I’ve been wanting to properly pay them for their awesome products for a while now anyway.

Muffi ,

I think you’re 100% correct in assuming they’ve already fed it data scraped from SO. I’ve previously gotten code samples from ChatGPT that was clearly from SO down to the comments in the code. Even reverse searched some of the code and found the question it was from.

Muffi ,

I’ve been playing the Hades 2 beta recently, and I keep thinking about how incredible it is that this game is already better than any AAA title I’ve played in the last like 8 years. And it’s still in beta and made by just 23 people. Call of Duty, FIFA and the like will keep the big studios running for a while, but indie has definitely overtaken the industry and I’m all for it.

Muffi ,

It’s really, really good! Tougher than the first game, but that’s a welcome change. After about ~10 hours of gameplay, I already feel like it’s the best sequel I’ve played.

Muffi ,

Glad to hear it! Can you add the donation link to this post as well? Best of luck with the remaining healing

Muffi ,

Switched to Antennapod when abandoning Spotify recently. It’s been great! Way better interface than Spotify’s embarrassingly horrible UI.

Muffi ,

I think that’s the entire point of this exercise. Thinking about what making the world better would actually mean and entail.

Muffi ,

Teach. I already teach and I would continue to do so even if I had enough money to retire. I just love seeing young people discover the joy of programming and 3D modeling.

He just needs a panini maker, and he would be the reason noone believes Troy.

Muffi ,

This is true, but remember that this time there is data showing a significant rise in mental health issues among children and teenagers. That didn’t happen with TV, music or books.

It is too easy to blame the mental health decline on smartphones and social media though. We should look at the bigger underlying structural problems that are squeezing joy, dreams and hope for the future from our youngest.

Muffi ,

The worst thing about this in my opinion, is that this is mostly a problem for the children from less resourceful families. There is already a tendency for children from lower socioeconomic households to have more problems with concentration. Adding smartphones will only exacerbate the problem and fuel the fires of growing inequality.

Muffi ,

Time for a Bob’s Burgers rewatch

Muffi ,

Switching to Pop!_OS on a system running a 3090 gave me a significant performance increase. This comes as no surprise.

Muffi ,

Yea, I immediately stopped using it after the CEO’s horrifying speech at the “Protecting Children Online” hearing.

Muffi ,

Emulation is a matter of media preservation. Give us backwards compatibility or go fuck yourselves.

Muffi ,

I had the idea to start counting it as a “Thirst-trap BINGO” each time every single thumbnail for shorts recommendations had a half naked woman with her mouth slightly open. Turns out that it happened more than half the time, and the game quickly got boring.

I have never watched a single short on YouTube, so apparently it’s just the default recommendations that are horny af.

Muffi ,

Just set up Grayjay because of your comment. The seamless integration of both Patreon and YouTube into the same feed is so good. Thanks a lot!

Muffi ,

Yes! So glad to see developers sticking to their principles and switching for good. Every time I’m working with Blender or Godot I feel like I’m living in the future I’ve always dreamed of.

Muffi ,

Retired gif or inspired gif

Muffi ,

Thanks for this explanation! I couldn’t understand how the overall mass of the egg would change, even if some of the contents turned to a gas.

Muffi ,

Are you writing comments using voice commands?

Muffi ,

Not acknowledging the underlying problem is definitely wrong.

Muffi ,

Guys, I think age is making us boring. I also personally prefer black rectangles and soft neutral lights, but I think we’re the bories.

Muffi ,

Been happily off discord ever since the CEO’s disastrous, anti-encryption speech at the “Protecting Children Online” hearing. Evil little dude, that guy is.

Muffi ,

Adobe is the fucking worst. That immediately killed my hype.

Muffi ,

I also sport a couple of hand tattoos. Only 3 are dev related though.

Planning on moving over from Windows 10 to Linux for my Personal Work Station. Can't decide which OS I should switch to.

Windows has been a thorn in my side for years. But ever since I started moved to Linux on my Laptop and swapping my professional software to a cross platform alternative, I’ve been dreaming on removing it from my SSD....

Muffi ,

If you need DaVinci Resolve, just know that when you switch to Linux, you will lose the ability to read and render mp4 files. You will need to buy the full version to be able to do this on Linux.

I use my desktop primarily for video editing, 3D modeling, and a bit of gaming, and it’s been running Pop!_OS since December with absolutely zero issues. The only annoyance has been the mp4 file thing in DaVinci.

Muffi ,

WoW Season of Discovery and it’s been fantastic. The group of friends I used to play with 10 years ago all decided to start playing again, and we just had our first raid yesterday. It’s been ages since I’ve laughed so much during a night of gaming.

Muffi ,

Maybe he wanted something that could actually run?

Muffi ,

I used to hate LIDL, but then I moved to a place where a LIDL was within walking distance, and started using it more frequently. Now I have to admit that I love it too. Fair prices and a fantastic selection of vegan options.
