  Interesting way to put it. The first thing it made me think is that if they did the 2nd part entirely within your PC, would it be ok privacy-wise, and would the consumers be ok with it?

  I haven’t looked into the current iterations options, but I think I still want the option to turn it off. Personally I’m less concerned with privacy and more concerned with it using up my computers resources.

  Maybe it’s inspired by Rothko

  This is how I’m able to sleep without worrying about death, one of these billionaires has got to be funding research so they can live forever. No guarantee they’ll share but that’s at least a less dread inducing issue.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Ladies and Gentlemen, the sate of AI.⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  Better than an Ad I guess? Not sure if my searches haven’t returned any AI stuff like this or if my brain is already ignoring them like ads.

  Sounds like something they should talk about in some kind of summit about security

  I’m not defending any companies, just thinking out loud, but I supposed I can see if that’s how it reads.

  I was just asking myself why it feels wrong when a machine does it vs when a human does it. By your argument, would it be ok if some poor nobody invented and is using this technology vs a billion dollar company? Is that why it feels wrong?

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨YouTube creator sues Nvidia and OpenAI for ‘unjust enrichment’ for using their videos for AI training⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  I’m more trying to figure out why it’s generally acceptable when a human does it vs when a machine does it.

  I don’t know for sure, but I think they would be able to adjust settings so that it looks nothing like any original work, but still have the same style, as I’ve seen people do.

  Ok, dumb question time. I’m assuming no one has any significant issues, legal or otherwise, with a person studying all Van Gogh paintings, learning how to reproduce them, and using that knowledge to create new, derivative works and even selling them.

  But when this is done with software, it seems wrong. I can’t quite articulate why though. Is it because it takes much less effort? Anyone can press a button and do something that would presumably take the person from the example above years or decades to do? What if the person was somehow super talented and could do it in a week or a day?

  Laptop ram hasn’t changed in 25 years, the slots are bulky and not efficient. New laptops need ram closer to the CPU, so they are soldering them on the board, fast and efficient but not upgradable. New slot, more efficient, upgradable, better for consumers so hopefully laptops use this new standard.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Florida teens arrested for creating “deepfake” AI nude images of classmates⁩ ⁨⁨8⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  The question I have is would they have been arrested, expelled or suspended if there was no AI stuff involved. If they had drawn, painted, 3D rendered, or physically cut and paste pictures would the punishment been as severe? At the very least I would think it’s still harassment and bullying, I’m just trying to figure out if the punishments are getting harsher because the fakes are more realistic.

  Or perhaps we’re only hearing about the AI stuff

  Hopefully it’s vandals, I can’t imagine being some guy taking a normal shit when all of the sudden the toilet disintegrates.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Gamers nexus on LTT⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨year⁩ ago⁩:

  Could be wrong, but those face zooms could be from the video their cutting to, as in GN didn’t add the zooms, they used vids that already had those zooms from LTT.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Gamers nexus on LTT⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨year⁩ ago⁩:

  This pretty similar to why I stopped watching their vids. I always thought they were a trusted authority, until they covered a product that I had some familiarity with. I wasn’t even an expert at it, I was just interested so I read some articles, visited some forums and subreddits about it for a week or two. Their video on it had a couple of mistakes and they omitted a couple of minor features, but were important to me. There was nothing egregious but it was pretty surprising to me that in this one thing, I knew more than them, despite not doing much research.

  Lol, I have my favorite file_put_contents line for debugging php, but being able to step through code would be great. What’s your setup? Last time I tried I couldn’t get xdebug working on win server + apache.
