That’s a great resource for someone who owns a credit card or is down with PayPal.

The problem even with that is that an old, standing tree and a young one are very different in their ability to provide the services we seek from them.

For me, it’s the fear of getting caught.
I have got caught in my more vulnerable years. That was not a nice experience.

I don’t consider the cost of the instrument and my time when considering the money I save on the drink.
But you do consider the cost of training when we’re talking about the AI’s output. That’s the double standard.
Your entire argument stems from the idea that this comic is somehow adding value to the world. […] Nothing of value was created
The comic made me smile. It made my day better because I like the presentation and the style. The post currently has a vote ratio of 266:78. So I’m clearly not the only one enjoying it. I do believe that bringing joy to people adds value.
[T]he “artist” doesn’t even get to have any personal satisfaction because it’s just an algorithm. […] [T]he other “artist” didn’t actually put any effort into it when they just wrote “write a funny comic” into a text field.
I can’t understand why that is a problem. Why are you hurt because a machine cannot get personal satisfaction? Are you mad at an mp3 player because it doesn’t enjoy the music it plays? The point of this comic obviously isn’t to benefit the creator. It’s to enjoy the reader.
If you insist on drawing parallels to a human artist: Do you think everyone enjoys creating every single piece they create? That there are no commissioned words that an artist grudgingly accepts because they have to pay their bills? Sometimes the process of doing something isn’t the end goal, but the product.
If you want to create music for your own benefit, there’s no need to do it in public. You can do it in a garage. You’re going to a bar because pleasing the audience with a good product is at least part of your motivation. Do you think they care if you’ve enjoyed making the music? They only care if they enjoy consuming it.

It’s amazing how you manage to keep up such a double standard in the same comment. Have you been practicing doublethink for a while?
On the one hand you say a human can output this while consuming just a hamburger, on the other hand you say it takes practice (conveniently leaving out the ‘years of’ part).
On the one hand you say “the algorithm” consumes ludicrous amounts of energy, but on the other hand keeping a person alive seems to be free in your world-view. (And no, a homeless person getting just enough to survive does not count as an example of consuming few resources. That’s not a life, that’s misery.)
When AI outputs something for a small audience, that’s a huge waste, but if a human draws something for themselves, that’s somehow adorable?

Yeah, absolutely no artistic talent there.

I’m assuming this is a response to my comment. I like the other version better.

I’m assuming that the OP has about the same drawing skills as me, which is to say, none. So in lieu of a tool to produce the cartoon for him, and (I bet) not willing to pay someone at least €20 to draw it, the only other option is that this comic would never have seen the light of day. Is that a better world for you?

Are you saying that the data has no value just because you can’t touch it?
- Comment on Nintendo seeks default judgement and $17,500 in damages from pirated game streamer who ignored court summons 1 week ago:
It’s a company that targets kids. Their prices are ludicrous
How does any of this make a difference?
Also for a company targeting kids there sure are a lot of whiny adults in these conversations.

Why is everyone pretending like they have a right to play Nintendo games? Nintendo says they want $X, you say their game isn’t worth $X, so you get something different instead. What’s the problem?
- Comment on Nintendo seeks default judgement and $17,500 in damages from pirated game streamer who ignored court summons 1 week ago:
What’s even more funny is that you’re downvoted into oblivion, while Iheartcheese @lemmy.world gets praise for the same stance.

I guess “Fuck around and find out” doesn’t apply here.
Don’t forget to mention bootlicking in your replies, lemmys.

- Comment on Nvidia not providing specifications for old GPUs 2 weeks ago:
No offence, but this is useless advice and exactly the reason why I wanted official data. “Usually”s and “Shoulds” don’t help. Especially for a completely different graphics card.
- Comment on Nvidia not providing specifications for old GPUs 3 weeks ago:
I would’ve liked some sort of official source, since other sites may have errors. (Of course the Nvidia page could contain errors, too, but I assumed they’d be more scrutinized than page number 328 which scrapes these details.)

Same question: If a species evolves due to adapt to a changed environment, is the original species extinct?
Yes, yes it is. That’s why a species ‘going extinct’ doesn’t always mean that it suddenly died off.

No, that’s a mistake. Incredible how many mistakes one can make in a simple derivation.
Thanks for pointing it out.

Observe the identities
a / b = a × b^(-1)and
sqrt(a) = a ^ (1/2)and derive
2 / sqrt(2) = 2 / 2^(1/2) = 2 × 2^(-1/2) = 2 ^ (1 + -1/2) = 2 ^ ( -1/2 ) = sqrt(2)
- Comment on What is this shit? 5 weeks ago:
Predatory publishing is this shit. It’s a bastardized version of the open access movement that gained traction at the turn of the millennium.
In a nutshell: Instead of having readers pay for an article, publishers take money from researchers to publish the article. Reading it is free for everyone. Publishers are now incentivized to publish as much as possible, with no regard whatsoever for quality. Everyone with two grand on their hands can publish any article.

Those corporations, they torture sentient and intelligent beings for money. If it was children, what would you do?
You talk as if we didn’t force them to sew our clothes and mine our gold and farm our crops.
