  • And robocallers/spam callers would rather get rid of bans on automated call systems and enforcement of Do Not Call lists. Doesn't mean we have to do what they want, and it would be an extremely ineffective argument to argue for a ban on phones or even just a ban on automated call systems connected to phones. Both are tools with extremely legitimate use cases that can and have been exploited for malicious and unethical means. Welcome to the complexity of modern living. I see you as an ally, but I warn that we'll need to be specific in our language and our desires in order to shape the discussion properly, else you'll just end up categorized with the "nutjobs wanting to ban phones" (embellished simile I'm using to give you an example in a different context) and you're going to lose a lot of momentum from the legitimately ethical people who are on your side.

  • I think you're aiming for perfect over better, and honestly I don't think you're going to make much headway in that effort, especially when you're disregarding the joy of children but you do you.

  • That viewpoint is extremely short sighted. You're missing the field for the trees. Open source models that people run on their local hardware with open weights absolutely do exist and function well. As an example of demand, I personally have a DnD group that uses it for token generation. It gives a far deeper sense of immersion for our custom campaigns where we would otherwise not be able to afford to commission custom imagery, and yes these are generated locally on an m1 mac mini. People viewing it as a replacement for custom commissioned art are, at least with its current and foreseeable capabilities, incorrect in their assumption. It's merely an augmentation and tool that fills niche low-cost low-"risk" voids. I assure you, for example, that there is absolutely some kid out there who has generated an image of either their imaginary friend or custom super hero. This has likely brought them great joy, especially if they're unable to otherwise embody their idea due to lack of skill or funding. You have to look at the tool from all angles. A car, in isolation, is a multi-ton inheritia machine capable of unspeakable atrocities, yet we cohabitate with them every single day because we understand life is complex, there are benefits to doing so, and a single view of a tool does not reflect it's reality.

  • Unfortunately the single core speed of arm chips is not fabulous, that's what is mainly required for good performance in most games. You're best off going with a r traditionally supported cpu for now. The revolution will come (and it'll most likely be RISC).

  • So a couple of things. One, he's right and I agree with him on his first point. There is no such thing as a "ai artist" or a prompt director or whatever you'd like to call it. The machine is not complex enough in use to need a specialized person like that, and I wouldn't say they were an artist even if it were. Second, I literally follow artists who use ai just for finishing details on their work, sometimes it's as simple as fur renders that they don't want to add by hand so they involve an ai renderer to apply the finishing layer, and these are artists I've been following since before ai "art" (image generation) existed. So he's just straight up wrong about there not being a single real artist using ai. It's a tool, like any other. You can have your negative opinion on it, but it's honestly useless to be so hostile to something just because it scares you and you don't understand it, so I'm not going to watch the video past that.

  • I wish we could start arguing about the ethics of compensation for training data and requiring a concrete way to both protect opt-out, as well as compensate those who contribute, rather than argue about a product that absolutely does have a user base (as is continually proven). I don't think there's a win against the demand, but you can win the ethics battle and force better regulations.

  • Ah, hello my fellow terminally online that learned to speak computer because humans kept calling us weird. Turns out it's worth money. Enjoy, and ask your friends/family for dinner in return for tech support (friendly tip), otherwise they'll doubt your value; You're worth it though.

  • Hmmm... Honestly, it's a very nice car. Mine is the chronos trim, so it has all the bits and bobs and over in the US we didn't really get anything beyond the original E-tron Quattro. I will say, I think I'd rather have a BMW iX, it was pretty much nicer in every way (but it does look ugly I suppose). The extra range would be life changing though.

  • Yeah, it's the HUD of an Audi E-tron. I was sitting in the parking lot adjusting the settings when I saw a licensing disclosure for the hud in that menu. Turns out, based on the copyright it runs Redhat Linux, which is kinda funny since it's meant as a literal window computer.

  • I'd wager this is only the operating system for the HUD. The design language of it is somewhat different than the rest of the infotainment, and it seems this car has like 7 or 8 computers. As for what the underlying "car" itself runs... I'd have no idea, probably a heavily customized version of whatever Volkswagen is using in their EVs.

  • Idk where you live, but in the rust belt anything past 15 years old is basically dead due to significant corrison. I wish there were more to be done about it because I love wrenching on old Miatas, but they just continue to salt the roads even months before the first snowflakes (at least, where I live) and it eats vehicles to the point of safety issues and frame breakages over time. (My first car, a 1999 Suzuki esteem, actually had the frame snap while I was driving due to this. Body corrison was minimal, but the frame and undercarriage had completely given out).

  • I think they've been doing HUDs in vehicles since the late 80s? They're not very common though since they generally have reliablity issues (this is a lease).

  • Lol yeah! Sorry, it's kind of tough to photograph since it's a HUD. I just noticed the "display license" selection when adjusting the height while in the parking garage today and felt it was silly enough to warrant sharing lol.
