Those other things aren’t the bubble though, the bubble is about generative AI, not other machine learning methods

This bubble sure

But our long-term prospect as a civilization…? Much less certain. If systems don’t get replaced by something that works we will end up in an overconsumed climate ravaged neofeudualist cyberpunk style hellscape

Everyone is a cog in the dang machine. That’s why people criticize capitalism as a system so much

And it’s going to be our downfall

The original owners retained full creative control though. It would have been fine if Krafton didn’t try to fuck them over

Trump is making an excellent case for investing far more into renewables and phasing out oil, at least for energy

Something that I would have said was obvious for decades, that renewables is a matter of national security almost, but you know, people are stubborn

Everything is political

And FOSS is explicitly political. It’s open-source free software. What do you think it is? It doesn’t exist in a vacuum

At least twitch is a bit different than YouTube in that the culture there it’s normal for people to pay and donate to streamers. Even though the owners still suck massively, of course

If you’re concerned about the site shutting down, seed some of their torrents from their site so that it’s easier to re-launch it if it happens

And yet, being in denial prevents true growth

Facing reality is hard. So much for calling others snowflakes

10% of all crashes is definitively a brag. Crashes due to faulty hardware/bitflips is rare rare, generally I would expect that percentage to be less than 1% in any complex app

While I agree that AR glasses will become widespread, there’s still time to advocate for and implement privacy focused regulations. Especially early on as people are upset about the technology

While not perfect solutions, enforcing stuff such as recording LEDs and such are steps in the right direction

In other words, it’s why authoritarianism always fail

And capitalism is very specifically not a democratic economic system. There’s a hierarchy. The owners are the ones in power

You know what sucks?

In that AR glasses, in theory, are such an interesting technology with lots of potential, and certainly a piece of tech I would love to have and work with and on. Not to secretly record people, but to, well… augment my field of view with whatever digital tools or displays I would like. It would be so useful

It’s honestly kinda saddening to me that it most likely will get completely ruined by our current toxic relationship to technology. A step towards our ever increasing cyberdystopia, and not towards enchanting our limited lives

Obviously either way I don’t trust Meta, but an open-hardware device running a FOSS AR system? It would be nice…

I still hold out hope that this somehow could be resolved, and I would love to contribute to open software for these devices. Maybe one day soon-ish I will. My expertise should be well applicable, after all

That article was an insane read. I couldn’t have written more unserious people if I tried

In that case reducing the amount of freedom the kid has is… counter-productive

It will just give more control to their parents

None, I’m pretty sure. Especially if you include Microsoft and other American companies

And yes, it is a problem. It’s something I’m arguing for changing in my country wherever I can

I’m European, I say fuck the animal product industry. Traditions that people care about won’t fully die out anyway

Of course, I can only speak for myself

PTSD is horrible, and the people with PTSD who didn’t engage in a genocide should get better treatment for it

Why do we focus so much on the people doing the worst shit? There’s so many innocent people with PTSD that are treated like dirt by their country’s respective systems

And as another Norwegian who already replied to you. I’m under 60, and so are my friends, and we care

Intentional power structures should be abolished. Otherwise they will inevitably lead to corruption. We need more democracy, not less

And it’s not just treated as a “should have known better” in the media. They are calling it an acute crisis for the foundation of the institution. It’s treated with great seriousness

What picture does it show the world when the family representing our country, that is literally living lavishly in a castle mind you, is mired in scandals, and we cannot exactly simply replace them because it’s a monarchy?

At least personally I don’t really see how the threadiverse is more toxic than reddit. Though it may be because my instance is simply good at blocking the toxicity away, and the instance their chose isn’t. Which could be something to work on I suppose, but moderation is always a big discussion in these situations, with some people not liking moderation but also, in reality, wanting it

As for niche content, that, unfortunately, is just a catch 22 situation. No simple solution other than to simply get more people to join
