I love space stuff and NASA (one of the few truly great things about the US) but they really shouldn’t be yeeting things into orbit and hoping it takes care of itself.

They can be fun for a bit. I tend to get overwhelmed with all the crap I loot. I have the same problem with games like The Elder Scrolls series. I’m alway afraid I’ll accidentally sell something important or useful, but I usually end up with a lot of junk. Lol

This barely qualifies as news. Anyone with half a functioning brain knows that site is infested with Russian bots.

I’m not a programmer and I’ve been dual booting for 25 years.

Well, I can always do what tech startups do and just make shit up! No pun intended.

Yeah, that really sucks about the jobs. But that kind of work is soul sucking. Maybe some people like it, but I didn’t.

I kind of feel like puking.

Idk, I’ve blazed many times but never felt the need to constantly lie. That’s a him problem, not a cannabis problem. However, I do think you make a good point about Transformers. He has the mind of a child stuck in the 80s. The future is Transformers, RoboCop, Bladerunner, Total Recall, etc., to him, anyway.

I’m sorry, but it’s over. Just like photography killed miniature portrait painting. Or Photoshop killing off lab editing and airbrush touchup. Corporate art illustration is done and over with. For now, technical illustration is viable but I don’t know for how long. It sucks but this is the new reality.

I wouldn’t have a problem with all this scraping, if these companies had to release their models trained on this data as open source.

I’m sure it will be used a lot in the corporate space, and porn. As someone who did b2b illustration, good riddance. I wouldn’t wish that kind of shit “art” on anyone.

Experiencing humiliation requires a certain amount of self-awareness.

Tree fiddy.

He said 1000 robots by next year. I can say I’ll train myself to poop gold and be a billionaire by next year. Isn’t it awesome how we can just make shit up and claim it to be real? The difference is, no one is buying stock in my gold poop scheme, which is about as legitimate as his 1000 autonomous robots claim.

There are already a bunch of Firefox forks so I’m not sure what you mean.

Exactly, and if you are a trained artist, you can mop the floor with someone who only use prompts. I’ve been using the diffusion plugin for Krita and it is so powerful. You have the ability to paint, use layers and filters and near real-time AI fills. It’s awesome and fun.

The internet was ruined before AI.

Knee-jerk stupidity. Not all AI development revolves around “tech bros”.

Mozilla, I’m so disappointed but I shouldn’t be surprised. I guess I’ll be looking for a fork.

All the Tesla robots have advanced AI, i.e. will actually be controlled virtually by people in India.
