You can create art with everything from sticks and mud to glass and air. Of course you can make art with AI.

Now if the question is, can a machine make art, well ultimately someone needed to turn the machine on and design the machine to make art, so arguably that person/people are the ones making the art.

Historically, every question of "is x art" ends up having the answer "yes". I don't know why people fall for the same thing over and over.

Start one. Unions are worker owned. You could also join the IWW.

I'm not saying you can't compare them, I'm saying it's pointless. LLM's are extremely large scale multivariate regression machines, evaluating it's output within it's own training domain is as pointless as seeing if a ball rolls downhill.

In that scenario, AI would have to be a public utility, which it is not. Private corporations have no intention to provide services for public good. If they displace a billion jobs, they'll just throw up their hands and go "we're just an Ai company guyz"

Man, this comment made me think of a Kafkaesque future where two AI lawyers and an AI Judge are stuck in an infinite loop arguing over a case, meanwhile the defendant is running around trying to get anyone in the legal system to recognize that the AI is stuck.

More than that, the entire structure of the study is pointless. They set up as a question/response and then had humans rate the response. That's literally what LLM's are trained to do, which ultimately is convincing a human to click the "I like this one better" button on it's response.

we'll see more specialized math AI resembling StockFish soon

Heuristically weighted directed graphs? Wow amazing I'm sure nobody has done that before.

lived experience

if i was in her position, i would shrug and hand my boss the 500 pieces of paper.

yeah honestly. If I was in that position I'd probably think it's funny and just stick the whole stack in a folder and laugh about the dumb process.

The thing is, LLM's produce better quality one-shots than any of the products that get returned from overseas ultra-budget contractors in India or SEA. I don't know what that means for Western devs, but I can tell you that the fortune 500 I work for is dialing back on contracting and outsourcing because domestic teams can do higher-quality work faster.

Interestingly that sort of research is actually what I've used Claude/Chatgpt deep research and openclaw for. If I have an idea, I get an agent to go and do some product research for me and see if there is a market, if anyone has tried it, and if there is anyone doing it.

It has unironically saved me a lot of time I would have otherwise spent going down rabbit holes.

Of the models I've found that claude doesn't gas you up as much as GPT, so for stuff like this where the answer can be "no, that's not a good idea" I usually use claude.

Why are you wondering? Any law that limits the ability of capital owners to extract wealth will be overturned, and not just from AI, that's global in every industry everywhere there are humans.

He was 86 years old

They'll just remove the "Advanced" ability in a few years once they've frog boiled people into jumping through hoops to use their phone the way they want.

It's not any different from the launch of the FSF. There's a simple solution. If you don't want your lunch eaten by a private equity firm, make sure whatever tool you use is GPL licensed.

What is it that doctors call growth at any cost? Cancer?

You buy them from a supplier.

but to answer your question honestly the supplier keeps stock of them by growing them and storing them. The original cells came from donations.

You could always extract some cells from a biopsy as well, but these guys likely just bought them from sigma or whatever the Australian lab-supply monopoly is.

I had a .fun domain that I was using to host a small project and they pulled that on me, I just let it expire and killed the project.

It would be in Canada, but our "misuse of computer" charge is overly broad and never been well tested.

It's hardly a subset. Most devs that use it have no idea how it works under the hood. If a large portion of them did, then maybe they'd cut out the "It REALLY IS THINKING!!!" posting

Ok, and?

Trying to find the amendment where you aren't allowed to advocate for your own interests.

Absolutely. I installed clawdbot for just long enough to send a single message, and it burned through almost a quarter of my session allowance. That was enough for me. Meanwhile I can use CC comfortably for a few hours and I've only hit my token limit a few times.

I've had a similar experience with opencode, but I find that works better with my local models anyway.

I put in my resume and my youtube history. I'm not really sure how applicable it is. I've been at the same job for 7 years, last year I moved to Senior. Fig seems to think that I'm a shoe in for a CTO position after 2 years, which is a bit out there for a "Stable path"

The "risky path" is just: found a business, sell it and then work at tesla, openAI and google.

I'm also not too sure what the YT history and chat actually do, the suggestions could have been pretty easily guessed from my resume alone.

Up until last week I was running a 960 on mint and had absolutely no problems, nor did I even have to think about drivers. I also have a server running Tesla M10s and they're great too, little more fiddly getting the right driver, but that's moreso on the cards being weird.

Post last week I put in an Arc B580 and I had some issues at the start, but that's more to do with the fact that my workstation has a Haswell Xeon v3... Otherwise it was just turning CSM off.

Without the gnu projects, software would have remained in the domain of universities and industry. Distributing it for free and encapsulating it with an actual legal license was radical in and of itself, but the notion of being required to distribute source was even more radical. Without that, people don't learn to code outside of industry, people don't share ideas and software remains in corporate silos with no/low interoptability unless a business decides to form a strategic partnership.

Your boss tells you to choose a vendor for your AI integration. Your options:

Company A - First to the market, Reasonable Cost, Most well known name. Very easy integration.

Company B - Well regarded tools, Higher cost, Better performance and reviews from team. More difficult to integrate

Company C - Reasonably Priced, Performance is reasonable, Has a connection to an extremely controversial individual, Currently being lambasted for being an CP/Revenge Porn generator

Ok, now pretend you're talking to a guy who signs your paycheques. Which one are you NOT gonna pick?

If thats youre definition of learning, my casio FX has an "ans" feature that "learns" from earlier calculations!!

Because corporate aint gonna approve the vendor that lets their dumbass employees generate child porn when the other vendors do not.

I'm lazy
