Comment You joke but that can become an unconscious thing. (Score 1) 22

If you play around enough in stable diffusion or any AI image generation framework, at least I find myself now making sure hands and feet are in order for every photo I look at. It becomes an unconscious thing just like ignoring advertisements embedded all over a web page.

Requiring proof in physical form of paper is never a flaw. Anything digital can easily be corrupted, bit flipped, faked, altered, stolen, or wiped out. Physical forms can also suffer some of that but it is much more work and effort - plus you have to show the paper in person which makes fraud a bit more risky when staring someone in the face.

Only using digital forms for historical record or proof of anything is always a flawed design.

Comment Corporate mergers need to die. (Score 1) 14

Acquisitions kill competition by making a smaller pool of competitors. This is why new startups don't stand a chance of continued operation - if they have something they get bought out instead of actually competing to keep prices and value in check.

Corporate charters should live and die with just that one entity - say no to mergers.

Comment It's the classic computer problem everyone ignores (Score 1) 61

This story exemplifies what happens when computers are introduced to something. In the end computers ultimately always take longer and create more work.

If humans actually wrote everything like the past, the awards would be handed out and it would be over - short and sweet, the process can be trusted.

But now introduce a computer automating tasks and now we have to stop what we are doing, review the whole mess, try to fix the new problem, redo the entire contest, then add more computers in an attempt to defeat the problem created by adding the first computers - long and wasteful, the process is now a train wreck that no one trusts.

Administration departments everywhere already suffer this problem yet no one points it out because we already spent so many resources converting to the self feeding computer problem.

Comment That kind of thinking brings in new players.. (Score 4, Insightful) 70

Except the barrier to entry is too high. It would be fun if someone could manage to disrupt the memory consortium.

Either the companies think this AI hoarding will be short enough to not risk expansion (every economist and corporate type loves constant expansion) or they think their stranglehold on the market is too strong for anyone to offer new competition.

For us mere retail plebs - the corporate greed situation just sucks and is getting worse. This is the situation anti-trust laws were supposed to prevent.
