@thecanine @movq So I actually agree with you! I think Dustin is taking a bit of a "deep and dark" path here (depression), and there are many parallels to other types of activities that we can all talk to. "AI" or "LLM"(s) here should be no different. Use them, Don't use them. I don't really see how it takes away our creativity or critical thinking.

@bender@twtxt.net @prologic@twtxt.net Jokes aside, I donât think thatâs the right approach either. We had spell checkers, since I can remember, as well as other tools, like the smart image select, used mostly to remove backgrounds. These are tools, that just simplify the process of either opening up a dictionary and looking up a word, you canât remember the spelling of, or the process of placing a billion little dots around the part of an image you want to select - none of these are creative or enjoyable tasks, we already had tools for them, decades before AI. I donât think we need to go back to cave paintings, to be free of AIs influence on our creative work.

@prologic@twtxt.net to err is human, to forgive is divine, right? I say let us err, and forgive. My grammatical errors make me me. Misspellings? Well, we need no stinky AI for that!

@prologic@twtxt.net Dustinâs last sentence on that post:
âThis post was written entirely by a human, with no assistance from AI. (Other than spell- and grammar-checking.)â
Is it true that it was written âentirely by a humanâ then? Pfff.

To follow up what I said minutes ago, they donât even want you to think of the initial idea, they want you to be a mindless organism, the AI algorithm analyses and tells what you should make, down to the script, so that you get the highest number of people possible to click it and see some AI generated advertisement, blended seemly into whatâs no lonher even your work.

†Read More
@prologic@twtxt.net @movq@www.uninformativ.de I donât even think the premise of this makes much sense. If an artist is convinced they cannot compete, with the âAIâ learning models, we already have today, they must have some self esteem issues, strange opinion on what the purpose of art is, or just be someone mindlessly redrawing already established things and not be all that good at it.
It might be connected to some typically non-artists assumption, that the more time and effort the artwork took to accomplish, the more artistic it is - this can be further twisted in these peoples minds, into the âmore pointless detail = more artistic artâ meme. AI often ads pointless and illogical details everywhere, âso itâs obviously better, than the human artist, who drew the originalâ.
Some people just enjoy having the picture they wanted or having the status of an artist to brag about and donât actually enjoy the artistic process of discovery and small decisions, made while drawing, that shape the outcome into something, only you could have created.

@prologic@twtxt.net Thatâs an interesting premise in that article:
The fun has been sucked out of the process of creation because nothing I make organically can compete with what AI already producesâor soon will.
This is like saying itâs pointless to make music yourself because some professional player/audio engineer does a better job. Really, thereâs always someone or something thatâs better than you at a particular job.
If we focus too much on âcompetitionâ, then yes, you can just stop doing anything. I donât know how common this mindset is, especially among artists or creative people. đ€ I would have assumed that many writers, for example, simply enjoy the process of writing. Am I being too naive once more? đ€Ł
Buying a TV these days, means trying to avoid endless enshitification:
-Spyware and adware
-Shitty AI upscaling/ frame interpolation
-HW that breaks after 2 - 3 years
-One off OS, dead on arrival
-Android OS, that starts lagging after the third update
-8 buttons worth of ads, on your remote
You probably have to make some kind of a compromise. I thought that was buying from some other brand like Hyundai, but that one also felt into some of those categories and just broke, after less than 3 years of use. At this point Iâll probably go back to LG and hope their HW is still reliable and the rest manageable⊠It has AI bullshit and knowing LG, probably some spyware you have to try your best to get rid of, can buy a remote with âonlyâ 2 ads on it, some web-based OS shared between all their TVs, that usually gets 4 - 5 years worth of updates and works decently enough afterwards.
At this point, Iâll probably settle for anything that doesnât literally fall apart, not even 3 years in, like the Hyundai did.
Farrrk me Google search is and these days. Will they please âfuck offâ with this Gemini AI garbage at the top that takes forever and is distracting as shitâą đ© Fark me đ€Šââïž #Google #Search #Sucks #AI #Gemini
So, the âAIâ bots have reached my website. Looks like theyâre just slowly crawling everything at the moment â no DDoS-like attack yet. I wonder if that has something to do with my website being 100% static HTML. There are no GET parameters they can tweak and, at the end of the day, thereâs not that much data on my server anyway ⊠And maybe they have no idea what stagit is, so it doesnât trigger âstandard behaviorâ, like âthis is a Gitea instance, letâs crawl this like crazy!â?

We havet an AI assistant at work, new version came out today "nearby restaurant recommendations" mentioned. Gotta try that!
†Read More
@kat@yarn.girlonthemoon.xyz yes, both the newsletter and the podcast, from time to time.
@prologic@twtxt.net I was not expecting much, but since the list of restaurants near company buildings, was hard coded into it, I did expect it to at least copy the menu text, from the websites, in its database. Ironically, the only restaurant where it got something right, is the only one, where the websites has the text as a transparent PNG, the AI has to convert to text.

We havet an AI assistant at work, new version came out today ânearby restaurant recommendationsâ mentioned. Gotta try that!
Ask it where I can get a burger, knowing thereâs 3 spots that had it on the menu, AI says thereâs none. Ask it to list all the restaurants nearby it can check⊠it knows 3, of the 10 or so around, but 1/3, even has a burger, on the menu.
Ask it to list the whole menu at restaurant 1: it hallucinates random meals, none of which they had (I ate there).
Restaurant 2 (the one most people go to, so they must have at least tested it with this one): it lists the soup of the day and Ÿ meals available. Incomplete, but better than false.
Restaurant 3: it says âfoodâ and gives a general description of food. You have to be fucking kidding me!

bon en fait mon script pour convertir ma bibliothĂšque en mp3 faisait du caca.

git pull on one of my repos â once every two minutes. This is a very pointless endeavour. I push new code a couple of times per month.
@movq@www.uninformativ.de You better push new code sooner!!
As @bender@twtxt.net says, that sounds like a bot. Iâd just block the IP address, hoping it doesnât change all the time. But then you know for sure that itâs the AI fuckwits.
Also, the devil in me thinks itâs funny to swap out the repo in question for something entirely different. :-D

@movq@www.uninformativ.de oi, that has to be a bot. AI bot? Maybe not, but still a bot. I see this becoming more and more of an issue, sorry to sayâŠ

So far, this isnât causing any issues. I think this is just a regular human being who misconfigured some automation. And I hope this doesnât mean that the âAIâ bots have finally discovered my page âŠ

Another six months have passed, so itâs time for a new OpenBSD release: OpenBSD 7.7 to be exact. Browsing through the long, detailed list of changes, a few important bits jump out. First, OpenBSD 7.7 adds support for Ryzen AI 300 (Strix Point, Strix Halo, Krackan Point), Radeon RX 9070 (Navi 48), and Intelâs Arrow Lake, adding support for the latest x86 processors to OpenBSD. There seems to be quite a few entries in the list related to power management, from work on hibernation and suspend ⊠â Read more
