Since it’s end to end encrypted, Ente just sees some raw bytes, it has no way to tell if what you uploaded is an image or not. So in practice it supports whatever the client can display, so your browser for the web version.

Probably. Extrinsic vs intrinsic motivation.

I spend hours toiling at work, then I finish work and switch to my hobby project, on the same desk/peripherals (KVM switch), same IDE and same tech stack, and work on it full of energy and finding it fun.

I have no clue why this works for me.

What’s a realistic reply to “oh my God, I’m so sorry!” if you are pretending you got that out of the blue without any context?

I’d assume someone close to me died and I don’t know about it.

Keep in mind explorer.exe is not just the file manager, but also the entire desktop itself.

It’s a tool in a box. Maybe an artist can use it get some inspiration and not actually use any of the generated images. Or generate a backdrop for their portrait drawing. Or generate a composition they like and then draw over it.

Wut? Are you serious? You’re just going to boil down an entire artform to that? That’s an unbelievably reductive opinion.

That’s kind of the point, isn’t it? People might spend a lot of time learning the different AI tools, how to supplement them with post processing and manual edits, how to combine them and how to nudge them in the direction they want, and then spend countless evenings trying to get the result they want. And people are going to say “they just AI generated it, they are not artists”, just like people might say photographers are not artists, they just take a photo.

But we know it’s far from “just” taking a photo or “just” generating it with AI. Sure, you can “just” do both, but the result will be far from real art without all the preparation and extra work.

But it’s easy to take a random shitty AI image to laught at, just like it’s easy to take a random shitty photo.

I like Vivaldi and they are going to keep V2 support for a while. I will switch to Firefox when it’s gone, but for the time being I am happy they are keeping the support.

Well, without making money on the philanthropy videos he wouldn’t have money to continue making philanthropy videos. He may be doing it as a 100% selfish thing, but so what? The end result is that lots of lives are improved. I won’t watch his videos, but I’m glad people are being helped.

I don’t disagree, but it feels like every other cereal, pack of crisps and bar of chocolate I see in stores advertises you can win a car or something. Which is stupid, but it’s weird to call out some guy for doing something very common across many other products.

I was buying crisps to win plastic Pokémon and ice cream to win money 25 years ago. Sure, call out the practice, but you are making it sound like it’s not an ubiquitous type of promotion.

Yeah. Both can be watched separately, but if you want to watch both, it’s nice to do it in chronological order where episodes of the two series are mixed together, as you get some references to the events in the other series.

Clearly an unpopular opinion, but I think the Cybertruck looks cool. It’s a bad car which you shouldn’t buy for many reasons, but in terms of looks, I like it. It’s unique, definitely stands out on the parking lot, and the retrofuturistic aesthetic is my vibe.

Is there any documented case of someone actually doing that, not as a stunt / meme?

Battlestar Galactica might start as sci-fi but ends up as science fantasy. At some point a character comes back from the dead, becomes an angel, and much of the original mysticism becomes literal.

Sure, then it’s Meta that’s lying. Saying the AI is lying is helping these corporations convince people that these models have any intent or agency in what they generate.

Internal documents on how the AI was trained were obviously not part of the training data, why would they be. So it doesn’t know how it was trained, and as this tech always does, it just hallucinates an English sounding answer. It’s not “lying”, it’s just glorified autocomplete. Saying things like “it’s lying” is overselling what it is. As much as any other thing that doesn’t work is not malicious, it just sucks.

Yeah, the illustration shows nothing, we don’t know which side is which anyway.

What was even the purpose of that button? Surely if you get spam, you don’t report that to the spammer, you use the mechanism provided by your email service.

I get that, what I mean is that current attempts fail to even taste like animal meat, so it’s hard to tell what that could actually taste like in the future. Now they pursue the taste of animal meat, but I imagine if they succeed they will go in other directions. Ultimately it’s a tech to grow arbitrary cell structures from arbitrary cells, so nobody says it has to replicate any animal tissue. That’s just unfortunately what people are familiar with.

Seems like a bold assertion, saying your food tastes better than something that doesn’t exist yet, and so cannot be compared.

I mean, you are probably right, but you can’t know how dinosaur meat or whatever genetically engineered nonexistent animal meat tastes like.
