It's not precisely about going to hell for doing AI, but if your pc is doing the art: arranging, composing, and partly even performing, is it really your art?

Im an amateur singer, and a believer in the same way dawkins is, But ill be damned before letting a llm do my craft , and then call it mine, even for monetization i wouldn't do it. Sure there are uses for IA, but only AS A CONSULTANT, the final performance is all mine.

If i let someone or something do my craft for me, while i take the credit, be it a human or AI, doesn't matter, then I'm in the very same category as frauds as Milli Vanilli, and i hope to never see the day that disgrace becomes the norm

As much as I love the old and trusty A port, its so limited compared to C it's no use to keep it around.

As much as i love my old hardware, maybe more than most folks, I say eff backward compatibility, there are dongles for that, and besides, even with the physical availiability, there's always the issue that the port is the wrong flavor of USB, and we're back to square one.

Now, on a really useful thing, those interchangeable ports in Framework laptops should be the way to go, like if I need this or that port, there it is, and if i go full moron and leverage or straight destroy the port, i just pick a new one for a couple bucks and we're all good to go.

No, you don't.

You're more worried for the messenger easier than for the message

Even though I agree, and can't possibly agree more, at least some of them offer some sort of moral support to their communities. Yes, I've seen decent clergymen, no, I'm not from the Twilight Zone.

To me, the gold standard in human parasitism are politicians: lazy, self serving, and when they do work, it's only to serve their own interests.

Pop songs? dude, I use the Chrono trigger boss theme for my family calls.

Yes, I dont get along with them all that much

As of right now, it is already the size of a big pill, that somehow needs to be shoved up THE GROIN of all places. I don't think the extra 1 or 2 mm per side may be a feasible thing to do

Other than that, for what I read here, the implant comunicates with the exterior world with some embedded capacitive antena, so (i'm not an electrical engineer or anything close), I don't think this could be possible if fully shielded. Besides, if you can give the implant some extra size, then why won't it simply give some other stuff like extra battery, bigger log storage or some other perk

As a matter of fact, I do. I expect my AI to be fully able to keep a coherent conversation, because some stuff requires combined queries with more than one input, and besides, some folks will find it amusing to have a chat with someone who can be whoever you need it to be: a formal work assistant, a pseudo psychologist with access to an inhuman knowledge base to address your issues, a funny dude to tell you stories, or even a sort of girlfriend to flirt with you.

And that's just a few use cases coming to my mind.

Sure it can be a social disaster, I just hope it won't.

Nope. I personally just love my cable channels, love to watch old episodes of CSI or The mentalist, whithout an idea of what I'm gonna get. Love the idea of sometimes getting a lot more than I could have possibly bargained for.

One of my favorite TV-related memories, from about 15 years ago, was one random friday night, about 11pm, and my brother and I were zombie-watching whatever was on tv. We weren't aware (lost the first minute or so), but they started showing Hitchcock's "The rope", and we were tied to the sofa shooshing each other for the 2+hours the movie lasts. to this day we agree it was one great movie night, and it affected our taste in movies to this day.

Tv on demand is awesome, but never underestimate the exploring possibilities of getting unexpected as only cable surfing can offer.

As someone who uses a very old DOS program in production, I'm quite interested. If I somehow get to have a more than half decent DOS environment, as in "works in full screen", can use installed printers/devices and is not painfully slow (I'm looking at you, Win7 DOS!), then I may even move some of my production machines to Linux.

Must admit I have high hopes for this kind of news. There are several people I know that are, as of today, forced to stay on XP for the DOS support.

Bush Jr. did the same. It's like the schtick of Republican presidents to go for the weapons fantasy, specially when the folks saying it cant fire a nerf gun without getting hurt by the recoil

And if I feel like it, I can make it electric. Hell, i can make operate on pedals. Or plant all the explosives I can get my hands on and blow it into tiny pieces. It's my stuff, I paid for it with good cash and whatever I may want to do with it is ok.

Sure, tell me the software is just a licence. Well then, let's get rid of it and put a different one more to my liking. So now I'm in trouble for DELETING your stuff from MY property?

Essentially, I consider this a pointless exercise, more like a proof of concept than anything viable from the Joe Average perspective, but it's excellent that it's happening.

Ok, but what if, you get to have good data on this brightness variations AND appropiate sound data?

Don't get me wrong, this sounds quite silly, but on the other hand, if "that certain stuff" is the difference earning or not earning some 7-figure number, then it pays to be paranoid.

Really? DotA is quite a different experience from its unmodded parent. You'll have a great time explaining a copyright/trademark scholar went DotA is property of someone who never touched it.

He is correct, you're not. His comment is useful, yours is the regular reaction of a crybaby, and it adds nothing and serves no purpose other than make you look "intellectual", which certainly you aren't.

That's cute. And a stright lie.

Considering a beastie imac (Z0UR00085, check it out), on Amazon, it costs $6900. Tell me more about your $3k imac
