Boo! Hiss!

Seriously though, you need to rethink your entire social media marketing strategy and please leave us alone.

a virtual replica of you is able to embody your values and preferences with stunning accuracy.

I’m calling BS on this one. “Values and preferences” are such a far cry from Actual Personality that it’s meaningless. Just more LLM hype

I hate the whole “towing the party line” thing that all political parties do. If my riding votes for an MP, who stands in parliament in favor of something that their constituents don’t want, but the party does, that MP is not reflecting the will of their constituents, regardless of party lines.

Not surprised that PP is enforcing this kind of anti-democratic stance, even though it’s basically standard practice for all parties.

Yes, but how many Ads for (Car Brand) do I need to see before I’ll buy a vehicle from (Car Brand)?

It’s not AI, it’s an LLM. It doesn’t know what misinformation is because it doesn’t Know anything

I’m still daydreaming of a Rachel Notley federal run

I’m absolutely looking for a real answer, not here to downvote or troll.

When you say “the tech is useful” I don’t see it that way from my perspective because I can’t think of any specific scenarios for this tech to prove valuable to me, in terms of the way that I interface with an OS.

What I’m hoping for from you is a Use Case; what specific application of this tech would you, the End User, find to be a vast improvement in the way that you interface with Windows?

I’m not going to downvote you, because I’m genuinely curious: Why would this be a “very important can’t-live-without feature”, what’s the argument?

Because from where I’m sitting as a user of various Windows & Linux products for several decades, this has never been anything I’ve asked for or needed, let alone wanted to take up >20Gb of my hard drive space. What is the Use Case sales pitch that convinced you?

“Fairness” has got nothing to do with politics, and Poilievre knows that and utilizes it in his politics every single day.

You need to rethink your social media strategy, and please leave Lemmy alone.

You need to go back to the drawing board and rethink your marketing strategy, and please leave Lemmy alone.

You need to rethink your marketing strategy, and then having thought about it, stop posting on Lemmy.

Still waiting for Rachel Notley to throw her hat into the ring for the NDP, that’d be a breath of fresh air

Sounds oddly familiar… But I can’t place it, so the free market dictates that this must be a good idea.

This is what they seem to never understand:

They fixed the price of bread for years. Before getting caught, if people had asked them, “are you fixing the price of bread?”, they would have said No, and probably have acted insulted that they were even asked.

So now, if we ask them if they’re fixing any other prices, they’ll say No, and act insulted.

After last time, why should we believe anything they say at any point?

One of the busiest highways in the world, to get one of the longest tunnels in the world underneath it?

This will cost a hundred billion at least, and it won’t solve congestion.

That was exactly my first thought too

While your points about the patronage system and its weaknesses are valid, you’re writing off several centuries worth of legitimate human endeavor because the systems that enabled it were dodgy. Guess what though? That’s literally all of history, dodgy AF, featuring an intrepid cast of characters more awful the deeper you look. That doesn’t make the art or music worth writing off though.

But honestly:

What is interesting though is the fact that AI art, and the LAION-5B dataset used to train the models is a true and earnest reflection of sorts of what images today really are

“Earnest” is definitely not the word you’re looking for. Derivative, maybe, because you said it yourself, they’re reflections; and as such, they’re going to reflect what images of today are; like you said. That makes them derivative, and I feel a vast artificiality that makes my heart sink when I look at the vast majority of them.

Choosing machine-created art over historical art is choosing a passing fad over centuries of culture. It’s your right; but to write off history with a wave of the hand means you’re missing out on truly expanding your horizons.

Expanding ones horizons absolutely does and should include art history, which is a part of human history.

Love the name and shame. Everyone needs to know about this guy
