  Just watched a SomeOrdinaryGamers video about this a couple days ago. Muta gave Nothing too much credit saying the texts etc would probably be encrypted. But lol “plain text”. They crazy for that.

  As someone who is learning, I think it’s imperative to understand that chatgpt has limitations that cannot be overlooked. It’s pretty good if I make some silly syntax or formatting errors, but at the core I have to understand what I’m working with if I want to be a better programmer. I love the conversational nature because I often have a hard time wording questions, so it helps me in that regard as well. Idk if you want to be truly good at something you have to be more reliant on yourself than external tools.

  I don’t understand how you’re separating the the generated artworks from the AI that’s generating the work, but I do see your point. If a company puts out a tool for free I don’t think they should be on the hook for someone using that and creating a product. At the end of it all though, I think whoever has made any hard financial gains should should payout whoever contributed.

  I don’t see how AI training couldn’t be considered transformative as the whole idea is to consume input, break it down into data, and output something new. The way I’m understanding what you’re saying is like this: Instead of only paying royalties when I try to monetize a cover song, I’d have to pay every time I practiced it.

  I appreciate your responses, thank you!

  How is training AI with art on the web different to a person studying art styles? I’d say if the AI is being monetized in some capacity, then sure maybe there should be laws in place. I’m just hard-pressed to believe that anyone can have sole control of anything once it gets on the Internet.

  I read this title last night and thought it was a story about AI making an amalgamation of MrBeast and Stephen Hawking to shill iPhones

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Kids and teens are inundated with phone prompts day and night⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨year⁩ ago⁩:

  I used to have Snapchat and Instagram downloaded on my phone and the amount of pointless notifications I got from those was staggering. I can only imagine what it would be like if you have more social media on top of that. Same with Uber eats, they CONSTANTLY send notifications. I got so sick of checking my phone so often that I turned off all notifications, then deleted apps, then put my phone on 24 hour do not disturb + grayscale everything. It’s kinda hard to break the constant phone check cycle, but it’s changing!

  How do you like the difference?

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Advice/Opinions about first printer...⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨year⁩ ago⁩:

  I’d recommend a Bambu printer. Cost to benefit is pretty good, and they’re very easy to use. Someone touched on their recent misfortune with the cloudstorage thing, which is a fair criticism, but I don’t think it should ice you out from them. I’ve had X1 Carbon, with AMS, for a while now and it has been nothing but an absolute breeze for me to use. Also to note, my printer wasn’t affected at all by their recent issue. I switch my printer off which I think may have removed me from the situation.
