Everyone shitting on AI so let’s put a reality check on it.

Presuming things develop as they do rn, AIs are really good at producing images of high quality and clips of low quality. They are capable of producing music clips of low quality. They are capable of text to speech while simulating specific voices and converting one voice into the other while maintaining pitch and characteristics. They are able to create medium-size texts.

AIs are currently unable to create longer low quality videos or shorter high quality clips. They are unable to create songs. They are unable to create isolated sound design or synthesize voices from scratch. They are unable to create cohesive publications or story scripts.

From what I can tell, there are no indications for AI to replace most creative jobs. The only thing they will replace are jobs that do not require creativity but that do require a lot of repetitive processes. That is a plus in my book.

I think the hype around AI is overblown, but I also think the dystopian outlook on AI is overblown as well.

AI is just a tool. It can be just as good or as bad as anyone who’s using it is, and we already have that with the internet itself. I don’t think this will completely change our everyday life in a big way, just a few more annoyances in one part of our lives, and a few less in another.

That said, even if it’s not world changing, it will be important to get to know how it works, and that’s more out of convenience, and less out of necessity.

(please correct me if any information is wrong)

The effects of light might be skewed because we have gained some survival instincts from evolution, and the natural daylight goes through a cycle of colours that could have direct subconscious reactions.

I generally do agree with you though.

Lol in the article it says ppls proposed shotlrting Reddit stock. I love some of those apes so much, they got great ideas.

You know, they got a point. You gotta believe in the project, and when you do it properly, you will make the money back, and much more.

Ppl are saying this is an AI article. Can someone confirm this / cross reference this?

Sounds like a bad idea considering:

a lot of past convicts that have been rehabilitated shouldn’t be allowed into 87.3% of all jobs

And further considering the innocence project claims that about 4% of those are false convictions.

Obviously I do not want to downplay the situation you’re in, but making society better is not done with broad brush strokes. No single person without the respective systemic knowledge will be able to design a solution for this in a matter of months.

I mean you are making a fair argument that there’s a distinction between your own morals and the binding rules in place. You are free to feel a lot of things that are very bad, but when you act on them you will bump into reality.

That said I think the original comment was meant to say that the only reason he is here is because society through the legal process has found him to be safe to work there.

Now to get beyond the feelings against him OP can obviously talk to HR and make sure they get some distance, but if the courts found him not guilty, he deserves to be there. Imagine serving years in prison, working on yourself until the government finally finds you fit enough to enter society again, only for ppl to kick you out of your job again because of something you tried so hard to leave behind. That’s why the prison system usually focuses on rehabilitation instead of punishment in most civil countries.

What I’m saying is, the court’s ruling does not have to change the way you feel, but the court also says you have no right to take his job from him unless he commits crimes again. No feeling can measure heavy enough to weigh up against the right for him to live a normal life.

Fair enough. I am really pro AI but even then this suit is important and the mills of the courts need to start grinding on this suit since about 2y ago. So let’s get this going. Right call.

Lol

I played the closed beta. For 20min. I couldn’t continue because it felt so incredibly boring. Insanely uninspired. Even Blackwake, the buggy mess with the simplest game loop was more interesting.

Maybe the reason that the leaning tower of pisa is leaning is because they chipped away too much for their medals and they forgot about symmetry.

I’m gonna go ahead and agree with the other comments.

I’m gonna ignore any future projections on where both fields are headed, but basically if you would apply for them rn, software development leaves the nature of your future job out in the open and basically opens you up with a huge number of opportunities.

The AI one sounds cool too, but as someone who works in a company focused on research in CS-related fields, I can tell you the skillset you are required to have in order to implement AIs in any way is vastly different from software development. You lean even more into math, things stay more theoretical and academic a lot of the time and AI also forces you to think more unconventional and counter-intuitively. Now this is not in itself a bad thing, but it does narrow you down to that very specific field and it does not sound like you wanna dig yourself down another rabbit hole of a profession.

Only do AI if you are really keen to do it and you are happy even if you might be stuck in that specific field later on.

TL;DR go software development. AI doesn’t sound like a fit for you from what I could gather.

P.s. you can always fuck with AIs in your free time if you want. That’s more fun anyway.

I do not agree with your generalisation of YouTube sponsorships, but with the rest I absolutely agree with.

Honestly, I read something about Opera being vaguely connected to shady Chinese companies right before I started recommending ppl to switch away from Opera or Opera GX. Glad I stuck to that, looks like my intuition did not fail me.

I still feel like if we want to grow faster organically we need to natively support more “discovery functions”. Just things that you can toggle off like for example a recommendation screen and stuff. The algorithm for it we can make and adapt open source so no one is scared we collect data.

We’re running into the Linux Vs Windows problem, where you can technically do more stuff and have more control over you account on Lemmy, but you need to be familiar with the fediverse before joining, just to Unterstand how to use Lemmy. That’s a big problem for any potential new user.

Man I wish you were wrong but I have seen this exact thing 95% of the times I had a look behind closed doors of companies.

And even more dumb: this nerd usually gets undervalued, and as soon as they leave, it takes about half a year for ppl to realize how fucked they are and frantic recruitment noises to fill the offices in the hopes to pick up the pieces.

Although this is to be expected, and at least this means we have content, it is also a bit unfortunate.

RIP Aaron indeed. May his fighting spirit be the anchor point for any community that’s succeeding Reddit.

I said this on the last repost as well.

Obviously there are reasons the film studios want that but actually getting information because you suspect someone crimes a bit too hard online is really tough. Your evidence must be waterproof to get a subpoena and until then you can run into a plathera of different issues thanks to airtight GDPR rules that still apply to US companies as well (they updated them to be even more strict with their newer compliance laws last year).

Actually there’s a good chance that sharing data or IPs without a subpoena could be not only devastating to any potential legal case, but also to Reddit. They will never do this because they stand to gain nothing from it as is and if they wanna go IPO they can’t pull such shakes moves rn.

Obligatory IANAL, if you need legal advice, ask a lawyer because they need all your context and they will know the ins and outs of their field.

Had the same problem and mine had a little thing at the bottom you could turn with a screwdrive to open or close the gauge a bit. I think I fiddled with it and when I closed it a bit it got stable again.

I definitely agree on the first part. But: there’s enough ppl who want to see everything. And even if you don’t, a lot of ppl just subscribe to their favourite communities and that’s it. That’s totally fine.

And some people pointed it out even back then. There were signs that the employees were very loyal to Altmann, but Altmann didn’t meet the security concerns of the board. So stuff like this was just a matter of time.
