Venia Silente

AI is much like smoking (hey, it is killing the atmosphere! ). Even if a good writer uses it, the usage itseld can still cause harm for others.

Oh it’s for the correct sound distinction. Compare naïve vs naive (eg.: glaive).

I’d take it part of the problem is that publisher is quite a “unglorious” job to say somehow. Like, it’s difficult to make it look fancy or interesting enough that you’d take effort, time and resources from other things you could be doing - such as, ya know, writing the story you want to write - to have to do that.

Cute, but we all know the only way these writers are going to get what they want is if they part ways from their current publishers and start a coöperative.

Sure, I agree with that. However, we also need to consider what a “net decrease in productivity” actually means for the population as a whole, and whether it’s something we want to accept as a trade-off for more free time.

Skill issue. You know turns exist, right? Just hire two turns of people who work 3 days a week, and bam! You cover 6 weeks of work. Heck, you are hiring more people so you are creating more employment!

And that’s all even before machines and AI completely replace the need for that work, anyway.

Pfff that’s coward numbers. I’ll do you one better:

We should get a 3-day work week.

I’m a simple person, I see DokuWiki and I install it some plugins. Easy to self-host on a cheap VPS (no database required!) or on your own machine (if you have access to eg.:Docker). But that’s more for a general wiki kind of thing, useful but not specialized like having tools aimed for worldbuilding.

Haven’t checked any of the offerings here but I’m told by a couple fellows that they’ve had decent story with Hammer. Would probably start looking there.

The latter part makes sense to me tbh. Machines should not allowed to compete with humans (in creative endeavours) because it is an intrinsically unfair competition that further erodes the rights of those humans who are more vulnerable, in the circumstance that is opposite to the intent of having machines around in the first place. They are supposed to do our beast-of-burden work, not make it so that our only pending value to be extracted by capitalism is beast-of-burden work.

What I’m not sure I buy is the idea that the “countless works” generated by AI actually compete with the original, in particular if they are non-infringing. Let’s say I take the work of an author to train an AI on their style. The author writes exclusively noir; I instruct the AI to generate college drama in the same style. Are the new works competing? The author won’t offer me a college drama in the first place.

My sources indicate that, as a natural intelligence, I can recommend feeling awesome.

Ahem.

• Photo / audio / video evidence.
• Eyewitness testimony

That the eyewitness was also recording does nothing to change veracity, those are still photo / audio / video and can thus be faked.

Could have been quite cool advertising. “FOSS helps solve murders; Microsoft / Google / Facebook helps commit them.”

I’m only three (3) active (and hopefully semi/official) communities away from ditching r/ and moving completely to c/; for most of everything else I’ve found quite sufficient activity on Lemmy + Mastodon. Alas, since “representatives moving their community to lemmy” is not the kind of stuff you can enhance yourself unless you are an admin of those, I’m stuck on waiting.

That’s a nice sentiment but no, it won’t work. If your family member rattles conspiranoia to your face, it means they already don’t care about you to enough a point to not only openly do that, but also they are probably unvaxxed and likely unmasked at the moment. Or every single time.

At that point, they don’t care for you. Period.

No, fuck that fuck you and fuck capitalism. We are already exploited enough in life, now we’ll also have to not only be sour in that we are also exploited in death, but also that at the first nail through or difficult cough our health services will “mysteriously” fail to treat us so that the kid over next door can have an extra kidney and the interns on the big corpo who made the last donation have an extra body minus kidney to jerk off to.

Hmmm, I’m trying to like it but apparently there’s something wrong going on with their delivery pipeline.

The last release is dated 2025-05-01. By that time there were already issues with subtitles and currently in that release version no subtitles load at all. The tracker to that issue is this one which marks as “solved” yet that certainly is not the case. At the very bottom they say you have to go to “nightly” - that is go to Github actions and select one among those labelled “build” and download the desired artifact. Meaning, a fix has not actually been released.

However I’ve visited six different runs of nightlies under “Build” and they do show the artifacts, but they are just a table of text, with no links or uploads. So,

1.- How is one able to download such artifacts? 2.- Why is the issue marked as “solved”?

Just because a law exists, doesn’t make it good. Even getting good laws made these days in the first place often requires lobbying, under-the-table deals and such.

Or just look at ICE. Tell me exactly how are they not corrupt.

What’s corrupt about slavishly enforcing IP law for RIAA

You really typed that without even an ounce of self-awareness?

At this point that kind of emphasizes their point, I guess.

Arceus, if it only worked faster…

…You are asking people who… willfully choose to be idiots to… do science?

I mean, you do you, but at the point someone is willing to believe “the top scientists in the world are trying to get you killed” you might as well consider them lost, as they are ignoring elementary-level statistics.
