I agree theirs a big difference, mostly from the fact they are using the tool bad (Just writing make me a pop song does not inspire) but to me this is the same as good hip-hop versus people who just rap random shit over premade hip-hop beats. It’s “art” but its just no high quality (which makes sense why sense why would we want to limit it on a site).

One thing I wonder is if you make a recommendation system that generates new music purely based on what previous music you liked (That was also generated by AI) who is the artist? Think like spotify but the AI keeps creating new music based on what you like from it. In the end I feel you are the artist of that song then no? Your recommendations then created whatever final song you listened to. Just something I was thinking about

rebrand into Anna AI !

Welcome to the club!

Yesterday I decided to write some notes for language learning by hand, I realized I did not remember the last time I wrote anything by hand

I really wish we stopped linking users to random niche distros, its just much more common to run into bugs due to less users.

We will just like all these issues before, A new generation of artists will rise and see the use in them, while a new generation without the prejudices of the previous will consume. Everyone complained about how digital art “isn’t art”, literally the computer IS doing most of the work for you, computers are complex machines and something as simple as drawing pad goes through layers among layers among layers of abstractions made my the work hours of hundreds of engineers. But we agree the artist was the person using the drawing pad no? People complained about photography the same way. The world is flooded with horrible hip hop beats over copy pasted sample packs over 808 VSTs, we all agree now that this is all art, the people at the time did not.

People confuse the playing an instrument and illustration as art, when art is much more complex, vague, and interesting idea than that. All forms of human production carry some artistic value, we simply value things where the production process feels less alienated than others (Carpentry vs factory work)

It genuinely astonishes me how regressive people turn about AI in art, its like I’m talking to Bill O Reilly complaining about modern art.

lol I can imagine decades ago people cheering for songs that use sampling to no longer being allowed on a site. We really never learn sigh.

In 2040s do we just move our brains into our own self hosted data centers?

when was the last such case

People will surrender all ownership if you can provide more content more cheaper and conveniently, ownership is much lower on most people’s priority than convenience

Arch is truly just a gamblers distro

its kind of crazy how much I used to use the AUR, Was just randomly running randoms peoples scripts to install packages.

Actually to expand on this, you can kind of do the opposite, for example you can launder federated social media if that federated social also contains something people actually want. Then relying on network effect/cultural inertia to keep you relevant

My work just handed me a laptop then let me flash whatever distro I wanted onto it

Welcome to the club!

Ive kind of noticed how we essentially use fancy to tech to solve problems we already have solutions for.

What I find interesting about the framing of this, aswell as how docker is framed as a whole, is that its essentially just the argument for static linking (So some extent also deterministic builds). You can get alot of the benefits of “shipping your computer” without needing an OS that supports cgroups and all this other stuff. Containers existed for a long time until docker was able to essentially push it as a packaging format. Now yes containers ARE useful but I think what we were really doing was trying to get rid of distro dependency management, but we could only do it through the lens of a fancy new technology.

Maybe if we bring back Bernie math we convince Donnie we deported all the immigrants already?

At Mercedes-Benz, we are confident enough to know that we have some of the best and most brilliant engineers in the field, and at the same time, we are always curious and keen to learn from everyone out there. So please forgive us if we don’t always get everything right with regard to Open Source from the start. As a company whose core business has not traditionally been software development, we still have a lot to learn, in particular from those of you who have already been walking this path before

This just feels weird for a company to officially state? Maybe im just too use to tech company/startup speak where AGI is literally 2 days away

I wish they would make a flip phone version. Really I just a flip phone + graphene OS
