"Can" is doing a lot of heavy lifting there

It's still worth it to avoid becoming massively reliant on centralized services.

This isn't really good enough. Many of us need to get things done in a pinch and if our employers are already getting used to the idea of paying for enterprise subscriptions to cloud llm's then the local option needs to be good

That really pissed me off. Why do people continute to pretend they can predict the future

Musk supported the pretense of free speech online when he bought the bird website. Again, it's just letting them see the marketing benefit, not convincing them to actually care (assuming that's impossible)

and by the time batteries wear out, most people are going to want a new a phone

That remains to be seen. This could accelerate cultural change around desiring shiny new toy being seen as cool

Idk, it seems like the marketing process on tiktok doesn't constitute trying to get people to go out of their way to interact/click with your content, tiktok users are just involuntarily fed content on some level (you don't know what the next autoplayed video will be)... how can it not be trival to manipulate that userbase with, in this case, a band whose music is just-good-enough for mass appeal?

That's mostly been my job since I started around 2010 haha

The average person dislikes AI not because it isn't useful. Anyway, we're more or less all on the cutting edge together

That would be amazing. Idk if you're hating on NYC but yeah, artists go there for career exposure so it would be interesting to somehow gain easy access to all of those who haven't sought exposure through the main institutional channels

I have constant issues with drag and drop on my windows pc. It'll stop working and I have to reboot to get it back

True, and then think of all the real estate that gets opened up for third spaces

Even 3 days in office, 2 days home feels significantly better because that's the point at which one is spending less days out of the week in the office

Theres a zoomed out version immediately below that tweet.

you can't really fake the labor that goes into mastering a craft any more significantly than one can fake labor at a white collar job, let alone some level of institutional involvement that any professional pursuit would end up with (i.e., showing a work at the gallery on main st or giving workshops at the community center), so this isn't actually that challenging of a question in practice. even with highly conceptual work there's still an involved studio/research practice to audit

if your artistic practice is truly so abstract that you can't prove labor by any material means then you probably just won't get subsidized for it.

Curious how this will affect midjourney's earnings

people have been pretty clear about a positive path forward

- big tech should pay for the data they extract and sell back to us

- startups should stop forcing ai features that no one wants down our throats

- the vanguard of ai should be open and accessible to all not locked in the cloud behind paywalls

How is it a bad thing to have cloudflare out of your country? No single entity should have the power to do this kind of thing even if they choose not to. Don't threaten italy with a good time

If true I wonder what kind of feedback loop is happening by training on human behavior that's directly influenced by the output of the same model

Then we'd be living in a world that didn't require you to have an email in order to do anything like have a job or a social life, which is probably a good thing

i'm not sure what parent is talking about, i have a fw13 and the chassis and trackpad are effectively identical to macbook's in look-and-feel

Trust me, every scientist in America has been clawing for every eurpoean research grant opportunity there is. Competition is stiff

Right, we the workers are giving away control over the future of general purpose computation to the power elite, unless we reject the institutionalization of remote access proprietary tooling like this

It's not about "rolling back" technology it's about democratizing its benefit

But Claude Code costs money. You really want to introduce a critical dependency into your workflow that will simultaneously atrophy your skills and charge you subscription fees?

Isn't this the exact reason why modern software is so bloated?

Agreed, even if solely for sustainability purposes in reducing ewaste

This is already underway

true but j cards hold the torch for diy unique and handmade artwork anyway

they can reroute the money they were paying for Flock with

This doesn't seem exhaustive though I guess I'd be super impressed if it were. For example I watched a pokemon dataset get taken down then go back up under a new name a couple times from huggingface sometime in 2023-24, fairly certain they were getting c&d
