I would not care if they were.

I hope this is true but I don’t believe it

bilb , 5 months ago (edited 5 months ago) to world in Saudi Arabia won’t recognize Israel without a path to a Palestinian state, top diplomat says

It’s kinda unusual for Saudi Arabia to stick up for Palestinians, isn’t it? Am I wrong about that?

ETA: After a little reading, it seems that I am wrong about that but “it’s complicated.”

I wonder if it has to do with the region you try to load it from. The message in the screenshot seems to indicate that it might.

As cool as I think the knapping and clay working mechanics are, I also quickly decided that they were tedious. I do mean to get back to it though since I didn’t get much further than that, and I definitely missed a lot of what is there. Maybe playing solo did it no favors.

There’s plenty of art that I don’t value the human element of at all. I don’t think any of the Corporate Memphis blob people on tech sites or the designs on a billboard are “sacred,” for instance, but they are unambiguously art. If you do these things with generative AI, I won’t regret the loss of human involvement.

Art done to express something human will never go away as long as people feel a need to express themselves that way. Companies will hire fewer graphics designers, true, but I don’t really give a fuck to be honest.

bilb , 5 months ago to technology in OpenAI says it’s “impossible” to create useful AI models without copyrighted material

People pretending it’s not useful and/or not improving all the time are living in their own worlds. I think you can argue the legality and the ethics, but any anti-ai position based on low quality output (“it can’t even do hands!”) has a short shelf-life.

Yes, they could limit their reach even further by only using the fediverse.

bilb , 5 months ago to technology in Elon Musk's X claims it's now a 'video-first platform' as it tries to reverse an advertiser exodus that has cost it billions in value

I think if you blocked the person who posted this you’d see a big reduction. It’s usually the same account posting Musk news.

Local by default, option to go remote. Even the privacy-first types might want to offload that to a more powerful local machine.

They could even sell access to a Mozilla provided AI server like they do with the VPN service.

Well, if they flushed out the corruption that undermined their capabilities then one might expect their capabilities to increase afterward.
