  Yeah, but this will make it much easier and using much better algorithms to make it more realistic because OpenAI will start profiting off of it and devoting resources to it which they have way more of than the existing systems.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨ChatGPT will soon allow erotica for verified adults, OpenAI boss says⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨day⁩ ago⁩:

  That’s going to be a disaster. It’s going to overly reinforce toxic sex understanding due to lack of sexual education. Most porn already does that, but is limited by what a human body can actually perform. AI will be able to make what is essentially sexual torture look like it’s what someone should normally expect sex to be like and make it look like the recipient is enjoying it…among many other issues.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨AI couldn't create an image of a woman like me - until now⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨day⁩ ago⁩:

  Despite living with one arm, Jess doesn’t see herself as disabled, saying the barriers she faces are societal.

  Actually, this is what disability is all about. It’s not that people can’t complete tasks or take care of themselves, it’s that society doesn’t provide the same tools to disabled people that they provide to so called “able bodied” people to allow them to complete those tasks.

  It’s the trope of the single grocery store that everyone goes to, but the person in a wheelchair, but otherwise able, can’t use because there’s a curb. So, suddenly they can’t feed themselves. It’s not that they are unable to feed themselves, it’s that they can’t access the food without assistance and thus are “disabled”. As soon as a ramp is installed they are no longer “disabled”, just differently abled.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Why industry-standard labels for AI in music could change how we listen: "new industry standard for AI disclosures in music credits"⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨days⁩ ago⁩:

  On the way to the world of “Carole and Tuesday” where all music is composed by AI and owned by big corporations, so it becomes nearly impossible for a small artist to enter the market. And that show didn’t even really cover how now literally every chord that is pleasant to human ears can be not only copyrighted, but they’ll know exactly what dongs and how to sue every single independent artist for copyright infringement and it will be totally legal if not very ethical.

  All valuable data should be backed up off site in “cold storage” type places. It’s not that expensive compared to the production storage.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨New Yale Study Finds AI Has Had Essentially Zero Impact on Jobs⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago⁩:

  It’s been used as an excuse to lay off people, but not the real reason. They were looking at ways to short term boost stock prices since stock buy backs caused their stock prices to increase, but that boost is fading, they needed another artificial boost to profit to maintain those stock prices.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Memo to Bari Weiss Re: CBS News: You’re doomed⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago⁩:

  I mean that applies yo a lot large corporations. They’ve mostly stopped innovating and started cutting costs in order to squeeze out some money from the company before it dies. And I’m sure she knows that. It’s likely that she’s there specifically to destroy the remainder of the company. After all, true information is bad for fascism. Gotta keep the people in a constant state of poverty and lack of services, and then blame all of that on some other small, vulnerable group, so their followers will stay distracted and one-issue voters will vote for things that are bad for them as long as were torturing ,murdering, and/or deporting the people they think are the cause of their problems rather than the ones they voted for.

  When they absorbed their only real competition and instead of using their advantages, just got rid of them, I knew it was the end of good subs and dubs very soon. I don’t want literal translations I’m subs without explanations or AI voiced dubs with poor acting ability or plain monotonous speech like they used to be a few decades ago. I want people to be there translating more than just j individual words.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Strava sues Garmin over alleged patent infringement⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago⁩:

  Probably just to try to make Garmin’s product less useful in the short term while the case drags out. Or as a way to get Garmin to acquire them. Strava basically seems to have bought up some competitors that were failing and they have been on the way downhill. So at this stage usually these companies start cost cutting and using any means necessary to increase their perceived value for sale. This gives Garmin an incentive to buy them as that would end the lawsuit and they’d then acquire some additional defensive patents.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Strava sues Garmin over alleged patent infringement⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago⁩:

  Yeah, software patents in the US especially, have become a way for companies to either kill competition, or make buying up ridiculous patents and suing for infringement their primary source of income.

  Primary issue is the patent office has few officers that are technical enough to understand the overlap of the specific industry and software. So, they tend to just allow anything, especially from larger companies that they’re told to assume have the expertise if they don’t since their load is too large to have time to learn new stuff and truly research if something is obvious or not.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Scientists say X (formerly Twitter) has lost its professional edge — and Bluesky is taking its place⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  X is a right-wing propaganda platform now. Bluesky is not a good alternative though. It’s just as controlled and toxic as X was just before Elan bought it and will eventually become what X is now when a major corporation or rich person decides to grab it or it goes public. The federation functionality is just for show and marketing. I wish people would stop just jumping when platforms become truly horrible and then jumping to something that will be made as horrible very easily after it becomes popular enough.
