Do you guys not have phones - energy

Or - and this is a wild theory - just cripple the ones using a-series chips and keep the m-series the same but charge more.

This is the most terrifying thing I’ve read all week…

Oh for fucks sake… I wanted to expand my NAS… Crypto was (is still responsible) for the shit state of the GPU Market and now it’s the next scam.

I hope they’re not using dihydrogen monoxide for this. Literally anyone that consumes it dies.

Tried using GIMP and Gimpshop (I don’t know if it’s still a thing) and never really got warm with it. Not for a lack of trying. I just use Affinity designer 2 and Photo 2 along with Inkscape (from which GIMP could learn a thing or two in terms of usability IMO).

I have affinity designer 2 and photo 2. It does everything I need (except for bitmap tracing, for which I use Inkscape). I won’t be bothering with anything else in this respect as I’m used to working with the tools I have . Also I don’t need the AI stuff so it’s a hard pass. Bummer on the acquisition though…

Finally a company with great service and ethical standards!

Same thing. It has to be barely thick enough to stop a predefined caliber weapon. And made of the cheapest possible material that still makes the armored vehicle mobile. Equipping armies is kind of expensive.

It generally means the cheapest option with the simplest possible operation that does the job well enough.

I don’t think so. My kid likes the stories though :)

I use it to have it write stories of our cats and an imaginary cat having adventures with a princess for my kindergarten kid. It’s really good at it :)

I could not agree more. AI is Great for Juniors to quickly have something Running and it definitely lowers the barrier of entry, which is fantastic! A colleague of mine told me his son made a PH meter for them and how impressed he was that he could code for a microcontroller. It turned out that he used chatGPT to write the code and couldn’t figure it out once it stopped working for some reason. I still believe this is a great opportunity to really learn and broaden his horizons by troubleshooting and truly getting to understand the system this way. If I was young and couldn’t code I’d use the AI tools in a heartbeat, but making low impact code is entirely different from architecting and writing mission critical code. Very well written article.

The cloud is just someone else’s computer.

At some stage this would have been inevitable. And it will only get worse in the future.

I think it will be better once the percentage of AI Slop reaches a level where the models are trained more and more on their own output. The effects of incest will then be visible and people will hopefully start thinking for themselves again.

I canceled as soon as I read about it. Have been a premium user since it was available in my country. Didn’t know about the shady shit…

I would be scared if I lived in New Mexico …

The problem is religion.
