If we don't fix our economic system to reword behavior that prioritizes people and the environment, I don't think humanity has a chance. With capitalism we are rushing off the side of a cliff.

If I'm going to be honest, tech has removed most of the spectacle of movies. When you can do anything and you can't believe anything is there a point anymore? It's not like the acters are going through any kind of struggle you can identify with in front of those green screens.

Movies are no longer magic tricks . You can say tech has lowered the bar for making movies, but I would argue there have always been ways to get into making movies that do not hold you back from success. (8mm film vs larger sizes for example.)

I think we will continue to see growing gross violations of using a person's likeness without thier permission as well as ip theft. You might feel you are sticking it to the man, but it dilutes the ip and hurts the people who make the films.

Until IP is not continuously stolen workout permission, AI is going to break a lot of industries that make the things we love.

As creators are fucked over in new ways where there the content we create is used as weapon against us, the anger will continue to grow, (disregarding the environmental impact). If I walked into a room if someone creating a movie with AI using my likeness, I would legitementally shoot them with a gun.I highly doubt I am alone Watch your back..

This advert only really makes sense in the context of the Copilot-selling-machine that is GitHub. For anyone else, it is questionable why this was posted on slashdot. I mean.... the article is making the pre-decided conclusion that maintainers have to support pull requests generated by AI without their consent. Just like everything else AI.

When you can't be bothered to to write something...why should anyone be bothered to read it? We have some idiots doing that right now with AI here on Slashdot.

AI is a type of heroin that is very hard to stop once you start. Students once intoxicated will have a hard time stopping for "weekly tests." They always eventually become unable to even reference primary sources, where the only truth is AI.

Do you read Sutter Cane?

AI is used to devalue the things people find important. Success did not mean it improves the lives of normal people... it means taking advantage of them.

When I receive a fake image from someone using AI, I deserve to be pissed. When I receive an AI generated reply, I deserve to be pissed. The technology is pushed first and foremost to destroy human interaction.

AI is incensing part of the population where is there is not pushback on stolen IP for those not using it. We will choose voting for America's destruction when there are no sufficiently anti AI candidates. And then you get to start experiencing what we experience.

I hear it works using GenAI to rebuild an approximation of the data, so close a human can't distinguish it.

Unfortunately, this also means Linux will not boot without a gemini api key added to Grub.

AI use is like drugs. The people using it didn't realize what they are doing to the people around them. In fact silicon valley relies increasingly on scientifically calculated addiction.

When I ask a question, I'm asking for first hand knowledge or experiences. The people who are deep in AI pshychosis cannot understand that. They will look it up on AI, pretend they are authorative and share it with you. If I wanted to look something up with AI, I would do it myself.

The with of these beings is the meth addict out sleeping on the street. These meth addicts will also scream don't blame the tool so they can keep getting their fix.

Do you read Sutter Cane? The situation is pretty similar.

The answer to this has many facets. For work I am mandated to use AI. The most important thing to remember about AI is that it is a probably machine, and your job is to game it like a gambler.

AI works the best on commonly solved problems, often using the stuff that is scraped illicitly from the web. You will be able to make a basic website in a snap because there is enough probability. You then try to do something unique and the AI falls apart. As an example, for work I started implementing a chat agent. But when I tried to add a sprite avatar it went full retard to the point that implementing it manually would have been obviously faster.

The people who don't understand that AI is a probability machine feed information into it like it has magical deeper thinking capability. They do things like implementing speckit specs with 1-to-1 mapping to tickets without understanding that it will slowly make the AI agent run out of memory to hold it all... as wells as forcing more chances for the AI to misunderstand the requirements; the key being you only want one truth, not a history of truths with AI.

On the flip side, I don't[ use AI at all for personal stuff. I have removed my open source libraries from the internet because of AI. I have no interest in the AI pull requests, the AI scraping or the AI whatever. The over use of AI has me going out of my way to remove it from my life where it is forcefully injected. You don't have any right to IP when you use AI for the product The AI users/makers are the Hannibal Lectors of today... feeding a person their own brains for their own enjoyment while not noticing they have a kind of psychosis. In fact, I think everyone who is intentionally using an LLM to steal work should probably be murdered in cold blood.

I think what you are trying to solve is the symptom and not the core issue.

There is a fundamental culture problem, extending from the maximization of capitalism and the externalization of the side effects. Start ups have the job of being disruptors, that means smashing into cultures and ignoring all etiquette and moral decency. From this you get things like uber adding stores to their menu without permission and charging for it, stealing of copyright work for AI, and camera sunglasses for peeping.

We created a a type a type of company that has the only objective to break social decency and break down human interaction and for profit.

When I hear startup or venture capital nowadays, I only think bad things.

This is an example in that you can't compete unless you find a very specific niche. It is a specific niche in that you often can't use these email programs in your native email client, meaning it isn't an option for many people.

These devices are subsidized by the ads to reach these price ranges. Americans might be indignant about the ads, but the rightous behavior only gets worse when forced to pay the true value of something.

Honest businesses cannot complete with Wallstreet and VC. Once people are conditioned to free by the sponsoring money of VC, no one will pay for them. After gmail, it's next to impossible to find an email service outside of a few privacy focus ones. The only option becomes ads.

The heroin of Chinese goods is a similar problem. Once people are no longer conditioned to pay the true value of goods it is very hard to get back.

It is said that dollar stores destroy neighborhoods. I do not understand why anyone believes VC, these ad supposed services that take advantage of the poor, or Chinese goods in the US economy is any different.

Yep, I have said the same thing. There is a lot of problems with the man, but more people should be celebrating the increase of oil prices than they are. Everything nowadays comes down to tribal party behavior. "Oil prices going up is bad because... Republicans!!!"

You also see some similar bewildering behavior where the Republicans are having questionably violent behavior with ICE (paired with deportation)... while the Democrats seem to be for immigrant slave labor to keep prices down. Illegal immigrants do not make the same money for the same work as native citizens because of the threatening status. I don't understand members of either party... and they would rather vote down these conversations rather than get introspective.

I can't find any links right now, but if you listen to a Google representatives in a town hall, they tend to talk with a special kind of arrogance. When they talk about google, they talk about it like it is a utility similar to water or electricity. Like google search is a thing that people can't live without. It is fucking bonkers.
