If you are going to swap the GPU, prices should be irrelevant, as you will get more money for your GPU when selling if they go up.

Chuckles in x200s with 8GB of RAM since 2009…

The modules yes, but ram is bought on the chip level. If the modules are never built, the chips can be reused in normal dimms.
Worst case we get a new HBM dimm format :D

Linux uses “free” ram for caching, so it’s not really wasted.

Solar panels are still cheaper and easier. Most spaceships and probes rely on them.

And much easier to operate and troubleshoot.

Because of the implication?

Paragraphs? A lot of people bulk delete emails without reading all of them.

That’s not an alternative. In fact almost everything cloud already is Linux.

That MUST be a new phrase. Or a band name.

They are free to do all the things pre-approved by their governments!
- Comment on Bandcamp bans purely AI-generated music from its platform 3 weeks ago:
They are a transformer in the same sense ChatGPT is a transformer. And hence they do generate new content that share characteristics and patterns with existing one. It’s no clone tool. Lyrics are new. They probably follow the grammar rules of certain language, but it’s not copy paste. Chords will probably be shared, but melody is new. Etc.

You can’t always tell, I can’t always tell, bandcamp can’t always tell. And it’s only going to get harder.

Yes, I’m a bot. Here’s your cookie recipe!
- Comment on Bandcamp bans purely AI-generated music from its platform 4 weeks ago:
No, I get it. It’s generative. GPT: Generative Pretrained Transformer. Music generators add a diffusion layer, but it’s fundamentally new music being generated, not copies of existing songs.
My point is that it’s just another tool, that automates it even more. It’s not the same, it’s the next step.
- Comment on Bandcamp bans purely AI-generated music from its platform 4 weeks ago:
Ok, if this is just a spam prevention I think it’s fine. Obviously I didn’t read the article (as tradition mandates).
- Comment on Bandcamp bans purely AI-generated music from its platform 4 weeks ago:
That’s not how transformer neural networks work…
- Comment on Bandcamp bans purely AI-generated music from its platform 4 weeks ago:
I disagree on all counts.
It’s not exploitative, it doesn’t exploit anyone.
It’s not trash, and if it were you wouldn’t need to regulate it because people would reject it on the merits.
The space belongs to whoever wants to create art, with whatever tools they want to do it. Gatekeeping and true Scotsman arguments are really grasping.
I don’t know what “social value” is created. A nurse or a fireman create social value. You won’t see them worrying about AI. If AI could put out fires they would definitely be interested.

What does monetary worth have to do with anything? A photo of the Mona Lisa is an exact replica, you could even make it bigger to appreciate the details better. If what you like is the picture, you can have it. If what you want is speculation and tax write offs, then you need the scarcity.

I hope you are familiar with survivorship bias.
- Comment on Bandcamp bans purely AI-generated music from its platform 4 weeks ago:
Same as vocaloid. Or autotune. How far do we go?
Besides, again, who cares. If you like the music, enjoy it, if not, pass.
- Comment on Bandcamp bans purely AI-generated music from its platform 4 weeks ago:
Well, maybe.
- Comment on Bandcamp bans purely AI-generated music from its platform 4 weeks ago:
Using AI to detect AI? Someone’s head is going to explode.
- Comment on Bandcamp bans purely AI-generated music from its platform 4 weeks ago:
So you’re saying a milli vanilli would be basically impossible to detect.
Besides, who cares? Isn’t the purpose to enjoy the music? Whether some uses a capella, instruments, electric instruments, autotune, vocaloid or AI… if you like the music, listen to the music. It’s ultimately created by a human using tools.
