Itâ(TM)s like they think every person they have ever responded to is actually the same person, and so all those disparate conversations were one conversation with a single individual whoâ(TM)s refusing to listen.

there was a professor I knew who worked like that. He always seemed to jump into the middle of an ongoing conversation when he started talking with you. A conversation YOU might not have been part of previously, but it was the only conversation he ever had.

I always just chalked it up to him being autistic AF.

Exactly. The reason they do it this ways is it is that it keeps the power in private hands. They can decide to change funding, change priorities, use their position as leverage against municipalities wanting the funding, or simply as a corrupt bribery fund masquerading as charity.

Seriously, I am sick of these vanity charity projects. Just pay your fair share of taxes, and let us, collectively, decide on our priorities. Because this shit will not be evenly applied, and considering the popularity of a antivax beliefs, and the level of international travel, it his will simply not work without a global commitment. And as bad as the cold and flu can be, there are kids who are going into debt with their school over getting breakfast.

I want it for a computer that can't take Win11, but is perfectly usable hardware otehrwise. My plan is to convert it to a dedicated Steam game machine and have the SteamOS features included, and I'd rather it be actual SteamOS with Arch instead of Bazzite (on Fedora) or something else similar that's more likely to get abandoned by the maintainers down the road.

I've seen enough of your posts to know you're an America Hating, Constitution Hating Inbred Cunt, "RigntwingNutJob" you Neonazi Shitbag.

The bigger problem is the number of old devices lying around with a ton of open vulnerabilities. Full disclosure to users of the EOL date, and preferably legislation that manufacturers HAVE to provide security updates for compromise vectors, would be a better set of fixes.

You're an Inbred Dumb Fucking Traitor to America, RightWingTreasonTrashBitchCuntbag.

Not what they did. You're a Lying Constitution Hating Cunt, RightWingTreasonShitbag.

Well, you Klansucking Sisterhumping America Hating ReCUNTlicans already packed the court to try to destroy our Constitutional rights. So I reject your claim that speaking out on matters of public importance as an equal citizen is "corporate sabotage," you neonazi inbred bitchtrash.

EU should just order META split up as an illegal garbage monopoly.

They might be better off just closing Meta. It's an antisemitic Trash company run by a literal Neonazi.

Yes, I saw that. And when combined with the quote towards the end, explains why his position is so fucking insulting.

This basically means that if your part of the movie making process can be performed by this tech, now or in the future, then your job doesn't really matter. Which is a wild take considering that he felt like he could not release the video without the parts AI provided, and which would have been handed to a person to do before AI exists, or if he'd had the budget for it.

Fact is the job DOES matter. He just does not want to have to address the difficult question of what is lost by using AI to do creative work that would previously have gone to a human profession, or what it means that he is willing to make that substitution without any apparent concern for the folks that decision harms. He is yet-another rich-fuck who does not care about the human consequences of technology, so long as they do not impact him personally. Fuck him, and fuck anyone who agrees with him.

Heâ(TM)s saying that Visual effects designers are not important. Because heâ(TM)s replacing somebodies work with AI output.

if I were someone who worked in that field, making the kind of content he used AI to create, and then dismissed my work as unimportant, Iâ(TM)d be salty as fuck.

their work is important enough that the film could not be considered complete without it, but not important enough to have a person do it. There is a clear double standard being promulgated here, that amounts to victim bling. Essentially that if AI can do your job, then by definition, your job is not important. Easy for the guy deciding where and when to us AI to decide in a way that does not put his own contributions to the process at risk of being replaced by AI. Fuck this guy and anyone who accepts this BS justification.

Given the fake sources, the fake content, and the left-out content to bias articles along with the insane behavior by the entrenched, abusive "admins" who have [[WP:OWN]]ership complexes, Wikipedia is basically trash anyways...

The concept of "god" is literally the dumbest fucking shit ever, designed to control the Inbred Trashyokels and Goatfuckers from 2-4000 years ago. We should have long moved away from that Cult Crap.
