In what way?

It makes perfect sense, if your goal is to shut down OSS competition.

You’re the one that equated “unpopularity” with “not a viable solution” with that ~1% response.

Popularity and technical viability have nothing to do with each other. It’s just that the former requires a lot of marketing to push the general public forward, way more than is necessary in my opinion.

Solar panels make up ~1% of all residential power generation. I guess that means it’s a horrible way to generate power, right? 🙄

If you watch the video, you’ll understand that the temperature transfer process to a hot water tank is incredibly slow. So, water tanks are not a very good battery.

I mean, unless you want to spend 12 hours trying to dry your clothes.

Not sure how that statement is right-leaning.

I partially blame the whole Oracle / OpenAI / NVIDIA cabal.

But, let’s not ignore the memory cartel’s involvement in this sham. Shitbags left themselves vulnerable to a demand crash with tiny numbers of competitors (three), tiny amounts of facilities to produce RAM, and the corporate stranglehold to keep it that way.

Not typically in the world of YouTube. That’s kind of the point.

That’s what happens after a buyout.

They are owned by venture capitalists.

Yeah, even before it was released there were so many kids are still messing around with Garry’s Mod. New generations of kids playing with 20-year-old software.

And what is your plan exactly?

There’s only two choices:

1. Learn how it works, adapt it to your lifestyle, use it as a weapon against the rich fucks that try to use it against you.
2. Continue to act like luddites, bury your head in the sand, and pretend that it will go away. Which it won’t.

That’s it. Those are the choices. Most are sucking in that copeium for the second option.

I think a lot of it depends on the model and the amount of context it has. LLMs usually get worse with time because they are running out of context, or they don’t have a good summarization of the story at large. For story-writing, it’s best to have a full outline planned and set up as its own Markdown doc, along with critiques on things you think don’t make sense or just don’t like as a plot device. Then, start a new session with each section, keeping it in a Markdown doc as it goes. Some sort of character doc is probably a good idea, too. Give it as much reference material as possible.

It’s just like planning features for code. You don’t just say “gimme a story like blah”. You have to set it up like writers write movies.

The fucked up thing about AI right now is that AI companies get to act like we’re in a post-copyright world, pirating from literally everyone, while the rest of us are still stuck in copyright hell.

That’s the double-standard that they always upheld. Two large companies play by the rules. A small artist always plays by the rules when faced with a large company’s copyright. But, one large company stealing against a small artist? The company steals anything they want, as long as they can get away with it.

Marathon vs. Antireal is a prime example. They steal her artwork and style, put it in the game, and get away with it. The only reason they settled and paid her was because:

1. They got caught
2. The evidence was obvious
3. The bad PR was affecting their sales

If any of those weren’t true, they would have gotten away with it, stolen it outright, and not paid her at all.

No AI involved in any of that. No need when corporations already held the power for centuries.

I don’t think it’s realistic that the rich will dismantle IP in the name of AI progress

I think they’ll accidentally do so, by creating so much from AI and a judge declares that it can’t be copyrighted because X% is AI generated, and existing precedent already required human input for copyrighted material.

I replaced it with a Patricia Taxxon video, so fuck Grey. He seemed to not get the point of his own damn video.

Well, that’s a damn shame. I guess I’ll have to find a different source for the history of copyright.

Actual artists have been fucked over by copyright since its invention. Copyright, patents, and intellectual rights were created under the false pretense that it “protects the little person”, but these are lies told by the rich and powerful to keep themselves rich and powerful. Time and time again, we have seen how broken the patent system is, how it is impossible to not step on musical copyright, how Mark Twain, Sonny Bono, and Disney has extended copyrights to forever, and how the megacorporations have way more money than everybody else to defend those copyrights and patents. These people are not your friend, and their legal protections are not for you.

All content is remixed and remastered, so I don’t really see a point to copyrights at all. Anything that relies on copyright are a part of incredibly incredibly oversaturated industries, so people should just make what they are passionate about, and not worry about whether some dude decides to rip it off to create some other thing. Imitation is the sincerest form of flattery, after all. Jazz musicians certainly don’t give a shit, and people have been stealing the Amen Break for decades.

People are too damn concerned over trying to be rich and famous from whatever idea they foolishly think is unique. Every melody has essentially already been created, and if it hasn’t, then AI and LLMs will take care of the rest. Create art because you like to create art.

If the rich end up dismantling their own IP shield that has existed to enrich themselves for centuries in the name of AI progress, I’m going to call that a win.

The problem is not AI. It’s the work-to-live death spiral. Install UBI and abolish copyright.

Like a caveman asking for an email address…

You know what else fixes the birth rate? Making life less shitty and giving people enough money to be able to raise children.

In the meantime, negative birth rate is just self-correction of asshole dictatorships. Can’t make money line go up if birth line go down.
