Like 'LineageOS'? Or 'Fire OS'?

So the algorithmic system could potentially destroy itself.

Neat!

I wonder if zep (the creator) ran into technical issues at some point. The voxels are actual voxels in the sense that the painter’s algorithm is used to splat the voxel grid on the screen. Afaik, he mentioned that there was a lot of optimization needed to get the 60 fps out of it.

Interesting - maybe my view is biased. So it's about the people that are in power or more likely to be in power. Hm. Makes sense, thinking about it. Maybe power does, in fact, change your principles.

Conservatives and right-wing. Gives them more control. It‘s a pattern that gets obvious once you see it. It’s so they can hide their own secrets better. In Germany, we have a law that grants you access to information, the "Informationsfreiheitsgesetz“. This was used in the past to uncover morally wrong or illegal behavior, mostly done by the conservative party. This party, as they are currently in charge, is now actively working to change the law, so it's in their benefit.

I think "cartel" might be the word to look for.

I like to disagree here. Despite the downvotes, not many people write or talk like that. It is not that common, at least in english. Contrastive framing is a pretty low-effort, high-attention signal, which makes sense in e.g. summaries, titles or ads. AI uses this as training data, and once you have this data, reinforcment learning will only deepen the usage, e.g. it will appear more often. Because it "sounds" familiar.

I'm sorry, but I do not buy the "people talk like that" argument. It's anecdotal evidence for me, sure, but I'm waiting for facts.

It‘s so annoying. Please, folks: Write your own words with your own quirks! Yes, you aren't a native speaker. Yes, it will read weird. But I prefer weirdness over AI. There is so much noise in text that is written by AI, it hurts my brain.

That doesn’t matter. It’s about the end-users perspective in that case. You can sell physical copies in physical stores or online on competitive pricing. The main point is that the customer has a choice. As soon as the physical discs vanish, they won’t. And that’s where gatekeeping starts.

This will hopefully backfire. As soon as there are no more physical copies of games available, Sony will run into the same situation that Apple is currently, which will make them a Gatekeeper in the EU. That will eventually mean that they need to open their platform for third-party-vendors. But, yeah. It will be bad for a few years at least, I'm afraid.

I agree. The first three from reddit work really well for me. I assume it's because of the fixed horizontal movement, and the fact that they are captured at the same moment from different angles. :)

The others are nice (but hectic) animations to me.

Makes sense if you think about it: Narcissism and Machiavellianism would require to convince real people. But AI will happily comply.

Amazingly, there are people out there (apart from creators), that work that way in their day-to-day job. I had the pleasure to work with such a person. After several months, he got removed from the position. He left a mess that hasn't been cleaned up completely to this point.

Reminds me of my X230. Nowadays, I only use it for CAN-Bus related work on my car, but it is so small, yet so well build.

There is a dishwasher from Bosch, that misses some features if you are not using the App - cost-cutting measures. Jeff Geerling made a video about that:

I was giving OP an answer to their question, as to why the "instant gratification" loop from AI is triggered by some people more than others. It's not about the grin, it's about the "not being in control, and not being able to stop". And if it's only the grin - yeah, hyperfocus is also something that neurodiverse brains have. Not sure what triggered your reply specifically, but I think it is worth stating that there is nothing bad about it, as long as it doesn't become an issue. Different brains work differently. It's just a fact we should accept.

Maybe there wasn't enough damage, either economical, financial or societal?

I'm 174 cm in height. Do I wish to be taller? Sometimes. Do I wish to be taller to impress a potential romantic partner? Absolutely not. But I'm shorter than most men in my country, so on social occasions in public (club, party, whatever), I struggle to make my way to the bar, because I literally cannot see a thing. I cope that with being on the louder side to make my way. It is what it is.

"smash your face with a hammer"

"tiptoemaxxing"

Everything but seeing a therapist, huh?

ADHD might be in play, and I think it‘s undiagnosed by more people than we assume. And it‘s fine, because as long as you can deal with it, it‘s not an issue. I can imagine that the addiction to LLM hits the same areas as addiction to, say, gambling, binge eating or shopping. I wrote a small thing about it here:

It's like Gartner is predicting the PC markt to go belly up for almost 10 years now, except that now the market IS going belly up - and they are still pretty conservative in their predictions.

As much as I like, I don’t know if this is a war we can win.

I read the comments before visiting the website. After the page loaded I was like: "Well, the silhouette from above and the color looks neat!"

I scrolled further and saw the front of the car, and now I get what the comments meant. Holy moly. That‘s worse than the Jaguar rebrand on my scale.

From my point of view, I suppose we will enter a "Let AI generate entertainment" era. In which you just might rent everything, including games. No need for a beefy computer at home, you just need a slim endpoint:

"Order yours now, for just $99.99 per month, hardware included! Order today, and you will get three months of 'Office Suite' for free, with a small additional cost of $49.99 after month 4. On a tight budget? Switch to the yearly subscription, and pay comfortably in 18 installments."

I assume that memory manufacturers don’t really care where the money is coming from, as long as the "numbers go up" game is working.

NVIDIA in their recent quarterly report stopped categorizing "Geforce" as a single category, and merged it into "Edge-Computing".

If you are a PC Gamer or PC Enthusiast as I am, then we have some dark times ahead.

Your first paragraph set a tone that I would interpret as a "who do you think you are?". But that might just be written text and cultural differences.

The descriptions are a bit more tongue-in-cheek, though. I love it.

There is some context missing, which this video [0] explains.

tl;dr: The original developer does not (or cannot) go into legal battle with Bambu Lab, so Louis Rossmann's project picked up the fight and hosts the (allegedly) troublesome code on their organization. As they have more financial resources, they look forward to the C&D letter.

The point he has (and I agree with that): The original developer is using the un-modified AGPL-code to talk to the cloud API. Bambu Lab states that the modified client pretends to be a Bambu lab client. But in fact, the modified client just uses the code as-is, which is perfectly fine from a AGPL perspective. From my non-lawyer point of view: If Bambu Lab would have made the User Agent a configurable variable, which gets set by some configuration files from outside the code, that get bundled with the binary version, but not the source code, they wouldn't have this leverage.

But I felt no accomplishment. It felt just the same as if I downloaded the tool from someone else's repo (and who had an overly eager maintainer that would implement my GitHub issue requests).

I get that. I recently watched a "talking head" style video by javid9x, where he said something along the lines of disconnecting from the code emotionally [0]. He has to get into the code to understand that. I get the same feeling, however, for me, it feeds my curiosity and my need of exploration. At least for now, I might add.

Appreciate your nitpick. As I dislike recipes that introduce you to the fine art of wheat milling before getting to the recipe itself, I tried to keep that section short(-ish). I felt the need to provide some context and thoughts, that's why I included it. Not sure what I'll do next time: Either put the conclusion at the beginning and offer some more context and thoughts at the end (then you can drop out if you don't want it), or just leave it out completely. I'll reflect on that.

[...] considering we're asking people who struggle with avoiding quick dopamine to use it professionally in their daily work life.

It's so wild that it never dawned on me, why some people around me were so quick with "Let AI do that!". I'm not saying that each and everyone has ADHD, but I think I underestimated a) the flow of dopamine a successful prompt can set free and b) the craving for it by folks that I deemed more stable than myself.
