This is one area where I am vehemently in support of IP protection for all the writers and artists’ works being used. Unfortunately, unlike when it comes to suing individuals who copy something, the wholesale theft of generations of art and writing by AI companies is just being let slide.

Honestly I can’t argue with that. That’s the reality of the situation. But emotionally they still deserve a bigger piece of what they created.

The value of anything is what people are willing to pay for it, full stop.

The share price literally wouldn’t be what it was if people weren’t literally buying pieces of the company at that price. So it’s very literally saying what the company is worth on the open market. Even with all your obfuscation, that’s still the case.

The company’s valuation in a public company reflects the price that people pay for shares, so it shows the value of the company on the open market. The employees created this value, so it does indicate how much they each created quite accurately. And you would think that they’d at least get a representative percentage of that at least. I mean if you paint a painting and someone pays $1m for it, you get $1m gross. You make the software and IP that’s sold for $100m and you only get $100k a year, that’s kinda wack.

No one could have possibly seen this outcome!

Seems like it’s a coalition that will have app developers, app stores, maybe an OS, etc.

Look at the video of the daylight. It’s a really ugly display IMO.

Every use case you described is already filled much better IMO by the high fps e-ink tablets like the Boox Tab Ultra. I would not want to do any of those things on the shitty screen shown in this post.

Fair enough but is that enough to buy a whole different computer with a much worse display? Modern e-ink displays can do probably 10-15 fps on high frame rate which, while not perfect, is probably adequate.

No idea what the niche would be for this as there are already excellent looking e-ink displays which can play video in a pinch. Who’s going to go for a shittier looking one just for a higher refresh rate? I don’t think many gamers are looking for shitty looking black and white screens.

You are reading about it in Popular Mechanics, so it’s definitely a sensationalized headline, we know that at a minimum.

Her intentions were as clear as his in that video as far as I could see.

Isn’t the presumption here that if she is only interested in his money that she also plans to take advantage of him?

Because everything sucks now.

My issue with generative AI is not that it doesn’t have uses, but that it seems to me that the vast majority of those uses are nefarious.

As far as I can tell, it has the most potential for:

• Creating sock puppet accounts on social media to sway public opinion

• Make fake media/ identity theft

• Plagarize various art mediums and meld them together enough to make attribution difficult

Other positive use cases like summarization or reformatting seem to pale in comparison to the potential negative effects of the bad use cases. There are many marginal use cases like coding or law where you may save some time but the review required is likely not that much different than the time it would take for a good programmer or lawyer to just write it.

Looks like you have a problem with pulling out in time.

I’ve finished 3 fallout games but fortunately don’t remember any of it well enough for any of this to mean anything to me so I can just enjoy the show.

Did they add it back? That’s good. But SD cards aren’t really replacements for primary disks. It’s silly that you can’t get your primary disk as big as an SD card.

Only on first episode but also very pleasantly surprised. I expect very little from Amazon and often think of cancelling it but I’m only paying about $4.00 a month so don’t end up bothering. This month I’m getting my money’s worth.
