  • Why I don't use AI in 2025

    Jump

  • I have used Windows all my life, and I have some questions.

    Jump

  • Just an addition to all the long comments already here:

    There are some games that don't work on Linux, mainly big corpo multiplayer titles. https://areweanticheatyet.com/

    Windows 10 LTSC IoT might help. (This gets recommended a lot on lemmy I noticed) : https://massgrave.dev/windows_ltsc_links

    It's not forbidden to set up dual-boot. I would recommend using Linux as your main OS though.

  • Generative AI is something inherently different. It's a bias multiplication machine. Have you ever visited CivitAI?

    Yes, the application is similar. GUIs like ComfyUI are sophisticated and grant a good deal of control and creative freedom, much like Photoshop, DAWs or Blender.

    All these technologies you mentioned have one thing in common they do not have in common with generative AI though: you could use them to model after the real world. Photorealism (as in: an exact representation of something existing in the non-digital realm) is achievable with all of those. It is not possible to achieve it with generative AI. AI only has its own "space" where it snatches ideas from. Gen AI can never be a gateway to art by itself, but its also way too powerful to just be a new tool.

    Also I don't get how open source gen AI will lead to the proletarianization of art. What people need to create art is education, pen and paper, health, and free time. Making those accessible to everyone is much easier than to make sure everybody who wants to do "art" gets their 1000$ GPU and tons of RAM.

  • Yes and no. Under communism, we would be able to have less AI and it would be developed slower.

    My statement was incomplete, AI is not just an economic venture, the big players (maily The US and China) catched on about its massive potential for informational warfare and control over their population.

    As long as there's states fighting over resources and power, any technology that can be utilized to get an edge over you enemies, not just AI, can and will be pushed forward, damn the consequences. Plus if you see capitalism as an entity itself, you could also argue that it's doing this for its own survival.

    Communism is not the only vision of a stateless society spanning the globe, but one whose thoughts and ideas have been well established.

    You point is that AI has inherent issues, just by existing. You are correct. But I believe if we limit the application of AI to non-military uses, if we decouple it from power struggles, its benefits may outweigh its undeniable cost.

  • I disagree. The hunger for chips, energy and water only got so big because venture capital decided to invest big in AI corporations. If we had another approach to ressource allocation we could slow down the rapid advancement and with it the ressource consumption.

    This would also mean that there would time to discuss ethical/philosophical questions of AI and AI usage.

  • Those are literally the problems this post means. And all of what you mentioned could be described as a direct or indirect consequence/effect of capitalism as well (ravaging industrialism, culture industry, copyright for mee but not for thee). AI in this context is just a technological catalyst.

  • Curious about socialism

    Jump

  • Did you read the Communist Manifesto yet? It's pretty short and a good starting point. Definitely more digestible than The Capital. It establishes and explains most well-known Marxist terminology, so you can put it into context if you stumble upon it elsewhere. You can find it on the internet pretty easily.

I have to integrate our sponsors and partners into our conversations, even if it feels casual. I truly wish it wasn't this way, but it's a reality we have to navigate."

    Yes. All I'm saying is please don't simply dismiss this, it shows how adaptable right-wing ideology is.

    I agree with everything else you said.

  • Anyone here remember Negative XP? Yeah like, we had this discussion 6 years ago or smt. Although I would never agree with this fascist piece of shit, what I take of this thumbnail is indicative of a very real phenomenon. Western countries becoming more progressive and integrating values of former counter-cultures over the last decades actually is doing new-right/alt-right movements a favor – at the moment, at least. If we're lucky it will backfire in a few years.

  • Your Pixel phone quietly got a big boost in GPU performance in the latest Android update

    Jump

  • I've noticed that animations seem a bit smoother, but that's hella anecdotal.

    Yeah I noticed this too. Plus some recent update fixed my lawnchair, the app launch animations were kinda broken for a few months.

  • What's your favorite Pokémon Game?

    Jump

  • I just looked it up and it says the only game that came out for the Advance was Team Red, so Team Red. Although I don't remember anyrhing specific (it's been more than 15 years after all), the whole game felt very cozy. I do remember playing as Cyndaquil however :) and that it was way harder that the mainline Pokemon games.

  • Does Pokemon Mystery Dungeon count? I don't know which one exactly, but it was one for the GB Advance.

  • OpenAI declares AI race “over” if training on copyrighted works isn’t fair use

    Jump

  • That's like calling stealing from shops essential for my existence and it would be "over" for me if they stop me.

    What's really fucked up is that for some people this is not far from their reality at all

  • Therapy intensifies my dislike of individualist western society

    Jump

  • When I was looking up CBT on Wikipedia because a friend of mine wanted to start it, I came down to the "critisisms" section and found a very interesting blog which might be worth a read.

    https://melbournelacanian.wordpress.com/2014/02/03/a-critique-of-cbt-as-ideology-part-1/

    I would argue most modern forms of therapy aren't actually on the side of the individual, even if they seem like they are. They can't address certain things that would empower you as an invidual, because it would be dangerous and also just not profitable.

    And imo therapists don't need to address or even recognize societal or economic problems, it's out of their scope.

    Anyway, take the blogposts with a grain of salt, I don't know how accurate the critisism actually is.
