>Looking at an AI output and deciding whether it happens to match the fuzzy idea you had enough or not, simply isn't the same thing. Yes, it is. I say this as someone with a BFA. The feeling of a happy accident from a slip of the ta

Well, I suppose it's something that a Verge article held back from spoiling the trailer until just before where they embedded it in the article. Usually they put it right in the headline. I wish people would stop supporting this trash

This is the fun part: the AI bubble bursts and the price of components keeps rising. Why? Because companies can just sell you a glorified thin client and force your average user to buy their compute, all subscription-like, from data centers

I don't think that's quite it. Particularly in America's common law system, written laws are not "the law", in terms of what actually happens in enforcement, or in judgment when something ends up before a court. You

Well, the key is understanding that the old paradigm wasn't just rare and lucky; there's a good chance that it was unfair , and actively robbing someone else of dignity. What's happening to you now may also feel unfair, bu

The petrodollar is already value expressed in energy. It's not as pure as BTC, because of geopolitical pressures and since it's sovereign fiat that can be (and has been) printed into nigh-unrecognizability... But BTC is itself war

Welcome to the world everyone else has to muddle through. The solution has long been, and remains, "Organize and demand enough money to live on from ~20 hours of employed labor a week, spend the rest of the time as you'd like.&quo

And why can't that apply to people who use generative AI? Expression isn't about seeking recognition, in the sense of clout or popularity, it's simply a matter of " I want other people to be able to see what I see. &quot

It's interesting to hear that lawyers are coming to you with those questions, because my read was that there was almost universal contempt for AI within law (save for the few "dumb" enough to use it and get caught).

The reason for this is, I guess, all too familiar for anyone in a creative field: surprise, it’s generative AI. The ongoing devaluation of the work of artists and makers, chewed up and regurgitated back to us like a mother feeding a ba

Antis are running out of time to stop what they wish to stop without resorting to destructive methods (bold and extreme action is already necessary). Pros are running out of time to square their ambitions with a public that's about to

Shareholder primacy certainly is relatively new, but it's also true that "the system-level goal of capitalism is to extract wealth". After that, hopefully we use that capital to produce and distribute goods "fairly"

The reason municipal fiber doesn't serve more customers is, again, because states were lobbied by telcos to make it illegal. Likewise, the loopholes that allowed the intended broadband buildout to be stymied. The problem is ultimately

It's not worth it if you can't have a swarm of them that debate philosophy in their off time.

It's not the government, and I'm calling bullshit on your narrative because there's no mention of municipal fiber, and the industry's successful lobbying to make it illegal in most of the country. THAT would have been RE

The federal government subsidized a planned, massive fiber build-out almost 3 decades ago. The telcos pocketed the money and then refused to complete the build-out, complaining that the last mile was too expensive. Municipalities pull teeth

You're being disingenuous. You clearly meant your anecdote to be representative, at least for "Canadians like [yourself]". But I suspect that it was meant to be a broader statement, and you're only backtracking now becau
