It’s a good thing if you are smart enough to understand that AI isn’t going away. Universal bought udio, the “legal” variant of the dataset will be used to train models, only they will be closed source, censored and come with a ToS that gives all the rights from the generated music to the record companies from the get go.
At least this gives open source a chance.

I’d suggest taking a look at what roll20 has to offer if you want to play virtually with your friends.
If the rasp Pi is too much (per your other comment), you might have fun with a few esp32s and some basic sensors if you want to get into the embedded electronic space. The entry price is lower then the rasp.

- Comment on AI-generated code contains more bugs and errors than human output 6 days ago:
It’s beside the point. I’m simply saying that AI will improve in the next year. The cost to do so or all the others things that money could be spent on doesn’t matter when it’s clearly going to be spent on AI. I’m not in charge of monetary policies anywhere, I have no say in the matter. I’m just pushing back on the fantasies.
- Comment on AI-generated code contains more bugs and errors than human output 6 days ago:
The cost of the improvement doesn’t change the fact that it’s happening. I guess we could all play pretend instead if it makes you feel better about it. Don’t worry, the models are getting dumber!
- Comment on AI-generated code contains more bugs and errors than human output 6 days ago:
They are improving, and probably faster then junior devs. The models we had had 2 years ago would struggle with a simple black jack app. I don’t think the ceiling has been hit.
- Comment on Spotify Music Library Scraped by Pirate Activist Group 1 week ago:
It’s not accelerating the trend one bit by opening it to everyone. Music labels and Spotify don’t plan on putting a stop to AI, they want to own it. The artists lost decades ago and siding with copyright juggernauts doesn’t help them on the slightest.
- Comment on Spotify Music Library Scraped by Pirate Activist Group 1 week ago:
It hurts record companies. They want to own all AI generated music. It’s quite clear with what happened to udio. It’s monopolies against open source, not AI against artists.
- Comment on Larian announce plans to let folks ask anything about their generative AI use, asserting "a lot has become lost in translation" 1 week ago:
Using scraped data to train AI models was never seen as theft before the recent media campaign.
Labeling it as such won’t stop AI, it will just let aggregation websites like Reddit and Deviant Art set the entry price. Any artist that uploads his work on the net has already signed his rights away when it comes to this.
It’s even worse when you get into music gen (5 corps own all the data) and video gen (Hollywood and YouTube). Individuals are simply not getting a piece of the pie no matter what happens.
- Comment on Tencent ‘Horizon clone’ pulled from stores as Sony settles lawsuit 1 week ago:
Transformers, turok and mecha Godzilla come to mind. Not post apocalyptic per say but saying Sony own robo dinos in a post apocalyptic future sounds fool hardy.
This is in no way good for us, the consumers. If it was Nintendo doing it, everyone be would be livid.
- Comment on Is the RAM prices explosion another manufactured crisis to corps drain money from people before the AI bubble collapses? 1 week ago:
I’d give it less credence if it wasn’t for Altman trying to buy the wafers themselves.
- Comment on Is the RAM prices explosion another manufactured crisis to corps drain money from people before the AI bubble collapses? 1 week ago:
Certain companies are buying up all the stock because it stops individuals from building their own AI capable rig and forces them and businesses into subscription models.
They are using copyright laws in the same way and lobbying so building new models legally costs millions of dollars and open sourcing stop being viable.
The biggest threat to the AI bubble is people running the same services out of their home for a fraction of the price with open source alternatives.

- Comment on It Only Takes A Handful Of Samples To Poison Any Size LLM, Anthropic Finds 2 weeks ago:
I just think the big players aren’t touching personal blogs and social media anymore and only use specific vetted sources, or have other strategies in place to counter it. Anthropic is the one that told everyone how to do it, I can’t imagine them doing it if it could affect them.
- Comment on It Only Takes A Handful Of Samples To Poison Any Size LLM, Anthropic Finds 2 weeks ago:
That being said, sabotaging all future endeavors would likely just result in a soft monopoly for the current players, who are already in a position to cherry pick what they add. I wouldn’t be surprised if certain companies are already poisoning the well to stop their competitors tbh.
- Comment on [Episode] A Wild Last Boss Appeared! • Yasei no Last Boss ga Arawareta! - Episode 12 discussion 2 weeks ago:
I’m not a big fan of the “fight everyone until they become your friend” trope. It makes every villain seem lackluster imo. I enjoyed Dina as a character and how the Mc and their character were merging together. The rv seemed a bit too easy. I also don’t get why Dina would alienate a fellow player like that, when I expect there aren’t many. I haven’t watched the last episode and a half though.
A good watch but only because this season was so lacking.

- Comment on Disney invests $1 billion in OpenAI, licenses 200 characters for AI video app Sora 2 weeks ago:
I hope people are starting to understand that is what the pro copyright media campaign is actually about. They don’t want to stop AI, they want to own it.
- Comment on How can we stop bots on the fediverse? 2 weeks ago:
Text wise, there is no way to tell anymore unless the bot fucks up, which happens rarely.
Image wise, I doubt someone has an automatic pipeline where a bot generates pictures on it’s own and posts them. What you are seeing are real people using AI to make their memes, or people who are enthusiastic about AI reposting pictures they find. Nothing wrong with that.
There’s also posting bots, which should be labeled as such but I guess most people don’t. It’s just a way to bring content in, I don’t really see a problem with this.
And there’s vote manipulation obviously.
All that to say that the first and last one are the only problematic ones since it’s used to manipulate and sway opinions. But there isn’t anything we can do the moment someone is mildly smart about it and uses a proxy service. Llms are simply too good at making themselves look like regular commenters. We could ask for ID for every user and cross reference with the help of governments to make sure it’s a real one, or have heavy and intense captchas, but who wants to do that?
- Comment on If your federal government cut internet access to your whole town then where in your town would you think that "the people" would get together to protest ? 3 weeks ago:
Access like internet and cellphone signal? If that’s happening, it probably means my little town is about to turn into a movie plot line and I am getting the fuck out of dodge.
- Comment on Mozilla’s Betrayal of Open Source: Google’s Gemini AI is Overwriting Volunteer Work on Support Mozilla 3 weeks ago:
I’m disagreeing with the positive spin you are trying to put on it. We have cops because of crime. Having cops is a good thing (mostly) but we wouldn’t need them if there was no crime.
- Comment on Mozilla’s Betrayal of Open Source: Google’s Gemini AI is Overwriting Volunteer Work on Support Mozilla 3 weeks ago:
Copyrights is mostly used by big companies to fuck with the competition so they can keep a strangle hold on the consumers.
It’s a deeply flawed system not in any way to our advantage. Actually having the copyright laws strengthened so they apply to AI training would instantly kill the open source scene and make certain only a handful of companies can afford to put out models.
Copyleft is built as a protection against big companies and how unfair the playing field is because of copyright laws. It’s like saying crime is a good thing because without it, we wouldn’t have a police force.
- Comment on Would a cheap, used raspberry pi 3 make for a good test server for following random self hosted tutorials? 3 weeks ago:
So the rasp Pi is very versatile. It won’t work as well for certain things but you can also hook things up to it that you wouldn’t be able to with a normal computer. It’s also tiny. That being said, I’d just spend a few bucks more and get a new one. Raspb pi 3 with 1g of ram is very slow.
