While the machine is NICE, a lot of it isn't needed for the applications... A $180 Nvidia GPU for a machine that, bare bones, is $300?!
While Calibre is "best in class", it's horrible and not needed as it no longer strips DRM, so it's easily replaced by BookLore... Which is new, so it needs work too, but it's still better than Calibre.

Yes, the voice actors may lose jobs.
Weavers lost their work to automated looms, then threw wooden shoes into the machinery.
There do need to be limits placed, but in general, both the actors and the industry ask too much, and the regulatory machine has been captured; we all lose.

"Khaaaan!!!!"

"From hell's heart I stab at thee..."

I'll see myself out now

Was the physician named Noonien Soong?
Khan Noonien Singh?

This whole thing reminds me of the howls when Dylan went electric.
Saul Van Zandt sued John Fogerty because he sounded too much like himself;
Ed Sheran had to go to court, and miss a family funeral, to prove to the court ( and Garvin Gaye's family, NOT Marvin Gaye) that similar chord progressions show up OVER AND OVER AND OVER. without being stolen music or ideas.
A human created the "prompt" that generated the music. Thought went into that.
You SEEM to be saying that effort is undeserving of reward.

The logical extension is that ANYTHING done by programming a computer is not truly creative.
And you may be right.

The debate and the activity IS driven by the perversion of the creation rights in the constitution... Starting in 1976, leading to the Sonny Bono bill.
Not to mention all of the one-hit-wonder "bands" created by "producers" (the list is long and smells like pink bubblegum) who got the big bucks.

Might it be that the real problem is that now, ANYONE can be a "producer"?
 

Enshitified? I knew ya could

I paid a handsome sum for it, but somehow everyone else seems to thing they can demand a fee for me to use it and take control of it

Or using a backup solution that alters RMAN info

Wanna bet it doesn't exist? It does, I worked on it and engineering support couldn't be convinced it was an issue... "why would you restore to the same DB instance". I won't say where they were.

Naaaa

But didja ever hear about the Kesterson drain?

See the part about contamination. Anything like 4Chan is kinda like that

Bad stuff happens when things get concentrated like that... Or if a ghetto is made

"The point is nobody is going to trust 4chan anymore"
You say that like it's a bad thing

Never said it did

in the 1930 the germans drove the scientists out
Maga/DJT is doing it here now

where are mod points when I want to mod up

What happens if/when the Indian IT outsourcing machine collapses?
What are the unforeseen consequences?

In theory, Americans get those jobs, but do they? Where, and what do those Indian works end up involved in?

We already have large Indian-based "scam" operations. Will that expand? To what effect?

Inquiring minds want to know

Best to take a look at how institutions of higher learning do things, then and especially now
