Not sure I agree that there will be less human labor “need.” Ideally, we should strive for progress, and not just survive. I think there is infinite use for human labor.
I agree with your second point.

This is more complicated than some corporate infrastructures I’ve worked on, lol.
With the Hispanic people I know that prefer Trump, it’s the usual trumpist/Republican reasoning. Even down to anti-immigration, from a person who’s father was an undocumented immigrant. Propaganda and desire to be in the in-group among your peers is wild.
I don’t think anyone is advocating for a “slap on the wrist.” The U.S. criminal justice system is the most draconian in the West, and doesn’t do “slaps on the wrist,” unless you’re in a particular economic or social classes.
IMO, ideally, he would be sentenced for as long as it takes to rehabilitate him. Could be 5 years, 10 years, 30 years, or never, IDK, I’m not a psychologist. But, the U.S. prison system isn’t really designed for rehabilitation either.
Production AI is highly tuned by training data selection and human feedback. Every model has its own style that many people helped tune. In the open model world there are thousands of different models targeting various styles. Waifu Diffusion and GPT-4chan, for example.
I think you have your janitor example backwards. Spending my time revolutionizing energy productions sounds much more enjoyable than sweeping floors. Same with designing an effective floor sweeping robot.
AI are people, my friend. /s
But, really, I think people should be able to run algorithms on whatever data they want. It’s whether the output is sufficiently different or “transformative” that matters (and other laws like using people’s likeness). Otherwise, I think the laws will get complex and nonsensical once you start adding special cases for “AI.” And I’d bet if new laws are written, they’d be written by lobbiests to further erode the threat of competition (from free software, for instance).
The search engine LLMs suck. I’m guessing they use very small models to save compute. ChatGPT 4o and Claude 3.5 are much better.
Yeah, the image bytes are random because they’re already compressed (unless they’re bitmaps, which is not likely).
Donation, patronage, gift economy, mutual aid, or whatever you want to call it is fine by me. People can pirate a lot of proprietary software as well, yet people still pay.
Yet, people still pay for it.
I think a lot of it is because there’s so many more well-funded right-wing influencers/grifters than genuine liberal or left-wing influencers. It’s much more profitable to take advantage of young men’s anxieties and insecurities (to sell fungus pills, get-rich-quick plans, or whatever), than to genuinely discuss things from a liberal or especially left-wing perspective.
Toilet paper, trash bags, paper towels. If you go the absolute cheapest, they’re arguably defective, but the second cheapest is usually ok.
The problem is that HP writes drivers and software for those things for Windows, but not for Linux, so Linux depends on random people to write software for those things for free (which often involves complex reverse-engineering). With Linux you need to make sure you use widely-used hardware that someone has already written support for (this is mostly applicable to laptops and peripherals, which often use custom non-standard hardware). There may be a way to fix your problems, but you’ll have to search forums or issue trackers for the solutions, and they’re probably pretty involved to get working correctly. The router crashing thing is probably just a coincidence though, or the laptop is using a feature that’s broken on your router.
There’s a trade-off, depending on the hobby, I guess. For some hobbies, very cheap gear won’t even work properly. “Buy once, cry once,” is something I hear often.
Higher quality, more expensive gear does not necessarily contribute to waste. Sometimes, it can just be more expensive because their workers are paid good wages and materials are ethically sourced. Some very cheap gear can break much sooner, ending up being more wasteful.
This is good, IMO. People don’t have to smoke as much, so less damage is done to their lungs. Vapes, edibles, and concentrates that are not combusted are probably even less damaging.
OSMC’s Vero V looks interesting. Pi 4 with OSMC or Librelec could work. I’m probably going to do something like this pretty soon. I just set up an *arr stack last week, and just using my smart TV with the jellyfin app installed ATM.
My PC running the Jellyfin server can’t transcode some videos though; probably going to put an Arc a310 in it.
Looks like NPR was on Mastadon for a little while in 2020: https://mstdn.social/@NPR
Don’t know why society tolerates these dumbass parasites.
