I'm aware of that, and it becomes extremely obvious in an inherently soulful context such as a preschool.

Still, while "it's AI generated crap" and variations thereof are all perfectly valid reasons by themselves, they are way, WAY too shallow for the average guy who looks at both versions and prefers the AI one because it looks "better". I would probably sound crazy and/or pretentious trying to explain to him why I prefer the badly drawn one to the perfect AI generated one, I do not know exactly why myself.

The loss of personality is real. The most heartbreaking ones I've seen are in schools, or anywhere that children are involved.

For example, at my local preschool there was a wall flyer with information about what to bring the swimming pool. It had the most crudely drawn fishes and crabs and seahorses that I had ever seen. It was clear that whoever drew that had no prior experience with anything even remotely resembling a pencil, and by no metric one would define those drawings as "good". Maybe it was drawn by a janitor, or a teacher with too little time to waste on a drawing? Regardless, and I cannot emphasize it enough, I VASTLY preferred it to the new AI generated one they put up, with its generic AI generated marine life that one would get if they just typed "sea life" in the prompt. I can't tell you why myself, if you were to look at both versions side by side, the AI one is undoubtably miles better. But... it just feels wrong. Off. Out of place. I know I sound like a luddite, but it just doesn't look right. It's uncanny, and I really can't explain the reason. It's like seeing a perfectly drawn, realistic, anatomically accurate human being in an otherwise cute and cuddly children's cartoon. It just doesn't fit in with everything else. It's a preschool, it's supposed to be filled with "bad" drawings, you know?

And don't get me started with the time they put up AI filtered group photos. I almost had a meltdown, and I'm (mostly) pro AI.

We need to clear up the responsibility of these "AI went rogue" situations, ASAP.

How serious does it have to get before "oops AI did that not me" stops being a valid defense and we start looking into it?

Because I'd bet my life that if I asked ChatGPT to fix a bug that one of my clients reported, and the model fixed it by outright k*lling the client IRL, I'd be held liable instead of anyone at OpenAI. Just a hunch.

Just in time for my subscription to expire. Goodbye!

I am only interested in one thing: what's the best local AI model it can run?

I mean 600+ euros is kind of a steep price, doubt I'll ever consider buying one because of that alone.

Also, as an italian, Jolla reminds me a lot of the word "Ciolla", which you can only guess what it's a slang for. That doesn't help.

just wait tomorrow's name, or the day after tomorrow's...

It's likely caused by the very same thing that causes human beings to knowingly and willingly steal money from children that need that money to live.

Sorry, this is Wednesday, December 10, 2025. You have not yet arrived at Sunday, December 9, 2035. This is not a time portal, not yet!

BS. Generate it, you coward! (I love it)

Isn't it happening a little too often now? Did someone .unwrap in production again?

The fact that you wrote it wrong is hilariously ironic.

JavaScript is simply the better term, and marketing is everything. Reminds me of Java's POJOs, which was a very simple pattern that no one used, until someone gave them a fancy name.

ECMAScript is a horrible technical name. Might as well call it ACMEScript considering how willie e. coyote it feels to develop with it...

Why the vitriol? This is one of the rare cases where a company actually puts money in open source development. Of course they ultimately do it for business reasons but everyone benefits from it as a whole, so I fail to understand the issue here.

But on the SSE version, a whole bunch of tiny precisions are very slightly different, and a combination of the friction on the floor and the mass of the objects means the guard still rotates from the collision, but now he rotates very slightly less far.

Insanity. The values were just right. Just wow.

I mean, PeerTube is already halfway there. The problem is that it's a pain in the ass to host, last time I tried. Which sums up the whole problem as to why we have YouTube in the first place.

Now largely more feasible. We should try again.

WHAT'S THE PRICE

GABEN DON'T LEAVE ME HANGING WHAT IS THE PRICEEEEEEEE

YouTube should have been a distributed p2p system with local storage of your favorite videos. A man can dream...

...sigh.

My dude, I agree with the point you were making in the original comment before you edited it. But if you write aggressive comments with no room for discussion, you can't be surprised when people just downvote you.

Yours isn't a rational argument, you are just barking stuff. You ended your comment with "End of story", ffs.

I am SHOCKED everytime I am reminded those Disposable Vapes exist.

My friend, that is a Portable Computer you are holding in Your Hands, and You are THROWING IT AWAY after ONE SINGLE USE?

Insane.

At least the fact that we got to this point in the first place is certainly an achievement for humanity as a whole?

Is this The Cloud that I heard so much about?

I don't think it was intended to be negative, just a reference to this XKCD https://xkcd.com/1053/

Even when something is known by "everyone", there's still going to be someone who doesn't know it yet.

I never heard about this fable before, either...

Users only care about content, how it's brought to them is inconsequential to 99.9% (likely higher) of users.

The chicken and egg problem is that users go where the content is, and content goes where users are.

In reality what this means is that the vast majority of both users and content tend towards a single solution, and that is where there is the least friction, aka the path of least reesistance.

Monetary incentives and various perks (features, first mover advantage, ...) can help but overall it seems to tend towards ease of use.

For users, TikTok is the king for a reason: EVERY SINGLE SWIPE (caps because I want to intentionally put a LOT of emphasis on this) is content that YOU, specifically YOU, are likely interested in. If not, the very next swipe is likely to be what your brain thinks is good, because the algorithm is so good it already knows what you want. Yeah, I know, that's because they spy on their users, whatever, sadly users do not care about that.

BlueSky? Even if you follow specific users, content discovery is so, so much harder. But the main problem is that the vast majority of users, especially new ones, will be subjected to subpar content compared to other platforms.

So why should a new user come back there instead of literally anywhere else? And if there are no users, why put the content there, and if there is no content, there are no users, and so on...

Notice how in all of this the underlying architecture has quite literally no relevance and is nothing but a technical detail.

Thank you!

It’s a good idea for grocery stores to not sell children alchohol. It’s a bad idea for grocery stores to not sell alcohol to ANYONE, adults included, because children might buy it by faking their IDs. That’s the difference here.

Alcohol is a perfect example as well, because I personally drink it only occasionally but would very much rather see it completely banned, as I think it would solve a lot of problems with society. In reality it likely wouldn’t, but the gut feeling is there. If I were to blindly follow my instinct and not know history, I would call for a total ban on it to protect the children.

The same is happening here, but at a much more dangerous level.

Hard disagree. I would love for moderation to be opt-out, for example. I might not agree with moderator actions, so I would very much prefer to see an unfiltered HN instead of having someone else dictate what I am allowed to see or not. The same applies to other websites, especially Reddit.

Alas, I have no choice in the matter, but I would very much prefer I did.

While I understand some content HAS to be regulated (CSAM) doesn’t mean everything has to be, because inevitably that will devolve into the government policing wrongthink.

Have you considered parenting your children instead of letting the state do it for you? The latter means they can use the good old “for the children” rhetoric to control what adults can and cannot see: for example, they can choose that homosexuality is a sin and bad therefore any LGBT friendly website is bad. Apply freely as your government dictates, such as pro-Palestine content. We must protect our kids from terrorists, after all. :)

Meanwhile your children are absolutely going to find a way to get that content regardless, likely in darker corners of the internet, exposing them to much, MUCH worse content than if they would have just gone on the good old hub (plus actual predators) while also making it basically impossible for you to control instead of just making it a firewall rule away from locking it yourself instead of letting the government do it.

Editable size pls? I wonder if this could be visualized in 3 dimensions...

That's a good idea... Just git repo your whole knowledge base and build on top of it.

This kind of interaction is what makes me miss the "old internet" the most...
