Fascists are always just following orders
  • What's more annoying? That people have the ability to generate content with AI, or that everyone on lemmy constantly complains about it?

    You're banging your heads against walls over and over. Stop. Shut up.

  • OpenAI declares AI race “over” if training on copyrighted works isn’t fair use
  • I didn't think you've thought it through to it's logical conclusion, and your example shows a demeaning attitude towards what AI can currently be used for. When you reduce it to what you view as ridiculous uses, you become lacking in the facts.

  • I disagree with your take. I've found it extremely helpful in my life. I find using it and learning with it to be an enriching experience. I find following it's development and seeing it grow to be exciting. I see the possibilities of all the positive things it could do for the future of humanity.

    I don't think a 10 year old could explain subatomic particles and the fundamental forces of the universe to me. I don't think they could refresh my memory of how to do geometry to help my son with his homework. I don't think a 10 year old could write a program for me to keep track of all the ebooks I have saved to my hard drive.

    It's fairly obvious what's happening here. A bunch of people complaining about that newfangled thing they don't understand or see the full potential of, just like for every new technology that has ever emerged. The automobile would never take off. Humans would never fly. TV was a fad. The Internet wouldn't flourish. Rinse and repeat.

  • Well, then we should see their want to change copyright in this way as a good thing. People complain when YouTubers get copyright struck even if their content is fair use or transformative of something else, but then suddenly become all about copyright when AI is mentioned.

    The toothpaste is out of the tube. We can either develop it here and outpace our international and ideological competitors, or we can stifle ourselves and fall behind.

    The future comes whether you want it to or not.

  • They're actually not making money. They're losing money. Yes yes, I know they're raising billions of dollars, but that goes into the training of the these models which requires manpower and a massive amount of compute and energy. Yeah, they tend to charge to use it (but also offer free tiers) but this is to put back into training.

    Here's the thing. The cat is out of the bag. It's coming one way or another, and it will either be by us, or it will be by not us.

    I'd rather it be us. Id rather us not be so selfish and rather us be willing to contribute to this ultimate tool for the betterment of all.

  • Depends on if you consider teaching "cheating." Current AI is just learning material, similar to a human but at much faster rates and with a larger brain. Someone IS going to develop this tech. If you pay attention to the space at all, you'd know how rapidly it is developing and how much the competition in the space is heating up internationally. The East tends to have much more of a feeling of responsibility to the state, so if the state uses "their stuff" to train this extraordinarily powerful technology then they are going to be ok with that because it enhances their state in the world. The West seems to have more of an issue with this, and if you force the West to pay billions or trillions of dollars for everything to teach this system, then it simply either won't get done or will get done at a pace that puts the West at a severe disadvantage.

    In my view, knowledge belongs to everyone. But I also don't want people more closely aligned with my ideals to be hobbled in the area of building these ultimate knowledge databases and tools. It could even be a major national security threat to not let these technologies develop in the way they need to.

  • Who are the good guys in the Israel/Palestine conflict?

    I genuinely do not know who the bad guys are. S lot of my leftist friends are against Israel, but from what I know Israel was attacked and is responding and trying to get their hostages back.

    Enlighten me. Am I wrong? Why am I wrong?

    And dumb it down for me, because apparently I'm an idiot.

    Is there a launcher for me?

    I've tried a lot of the launchers I see talked about frequently- Nova, Niagra, Smart Launcher, Action Launcher, etc. but they all seem to not be worth the hassle of switching away from pixel launcher. Also none of them have the Google News feed that the pixel launcher has. I feel like I'm losing features when I switch. Perhaps I'm just stupid and am not utilizing the features these launchers actually bring to the table.

    Can you tell me about your favorite launcher and it's features that keep you hooked to it? Thanks.

    What is the deal with mobile GPUs vs PC GPUs?

    For anyone who knows.

    Basically, it seems to me like the technology in mobile GPUs is crazier than desktop/laptop GPUs. Desktop GPUs obviously can do things better graphically, but not by enough that it seems to need to be 100x bigger than a mobile GPU. And top end mobile GPUs actually perform quite admirably when it comes to graphics and power.

    So, considering that, why are desktop GPUs so huge and power hungry in comparison to mobile GPUs?

    Switched from uTorrent to QBitTorrent

    So a bunch of people in this subreddit told me that uTorrent was trash and to switch to QBitTorrent.

    I didn't think much of it. How could one be so much better than the other? They're both just torrent downloaders.

    Holy shit was I wrong. I don't even really understand what is happening, but downloading torrents on QBitTorrent is so, so, so much faster and I don't even understand how.

    A movie downloads in basically seconds compared to 10 or 20 minutes on uTorrent.

    Why is this? What is this magic? What makes QBitTorrent so much faster?

    Notification checking time.

    The fastest option is 30 minutes intervals. Can you please add 5 minute intervals? 30 minutes is a long time.

    I just deleted my entire library and redownloaded it.

    A lot of my files were shitty 480p versions of movies from the Napster days. Now they're all 1080p, with a few 720p exceptions (mainly tv series episodes). All in all 500 something files in total. Now just watching uTorrent slowly download them all. Hopefully my VPN keeps the eyes off of me...
