It’s the only way to demonstrate the fall, of you did it at scale it would’ve even be noticeable.

I do actually believe that everything, including human behavior is deterministic. I also believe there is nothing special about human consciousness or creation tbh

That’s actually fundamentally untrue, like independent of your opinion, I promise that when people generate an image with a phrase it will be different and is not deterministic ( not in the way you mean ) .

You and I cannot type the same prompt into the same AI generative model and receive the same result, no system works with that level of specificity, by design.

They pretty much all use some form of entropy / noise.

I always hated the ribbon context menu system. It ruins the way I learn watch involves where something is just as much as what it’s called, kinda like remember where on a physical page something is even if you don’t remember the page.

Static, nested menus are superior.

That’s just his home address

I’m peddling something that may very well be true, and things like this happen all across the world, all the time. I’m not trying to be a jerk, but I’m kinda trying to say that you appear naive in my eyes.

For governments, and organizations ends are often considered justified by means and that’s not even a crazy position to take.

Conspiracies literally happen, and honestly a lot of change in the world, or research, or political coups would be fundamentally impossible without them. You, like me, don’t have all the information needed to even know quite frankly.

That’s how the world actually works.

Not to feed conspiracy theories, but it’s very likely October 7th was known about and it was decided that letting it happen was more politically convenient to justify the ‘war’ happening now.

Israel has terrifying Intelligence that is world class, you might be underestimating it to be completely honest. By most accounts, it’s the most efficient and powerful intelligence and counterintelligence agency in the entire known world.

Microsoft saw Google and Apple do this with phones, and Steam do this with games, and that’s why they made the Windows store a thing starting with 8.

They wanted to go the same direction.

Yes, that’s the implication, and it’s certainly intentional for you to think of it like that.

Cool, what’s a reasonable replacement?

I would use an activity pub Lemmy verse Facebook

Nah, same here. I never connected it online. I just use it as a display

I low key love it. It’s unconventional, but it’s not hard to read

If you think the demand isn’t there, you’re out of touch. It’s certainly true that many consumers are choosing digital content, but it’s largely driven by it not having inconvenienced them so far too.

Everyone I’m seeing who lost the 3DS and Wii U stores, or lost access to all the games in their account, or even people who purchased media they can’t download and access again is realizing how big this problem is.

I mean, except it’s not a conspiracy. The death of physical media is an actual tragedy because digital media is nowhere near as free.

It’s to the point where much of the media I love is actually not available legally and officially for physical ownership, in some cases becoming actual lost media physically, and not available for purchase or even download anymore.

Companies absolutely want to control the consumption of media in more restrictive ways that they can control, it’s not a conspiracy, it’s the actual truth.

DRM, always online, digital only, subscription services - they are all designed to remove you further and further from being an owner.

Everything from video games, music, movies…all entertainment media is moving in this direction and it’s an actual tragedy.

I mean, even Google AI says it’s not bad, and in concept I kinda agree. I’ve had bacon donuts before and it was legit

Actually technically covers require royalties, whether they’re on a CD, or performed at someplace seedy.

They’re not the time honored tradition you think they are.

The Jaguar lied with the truth, and I say this as someone who still owns one.

Same, both Digg leading to Reddit, and Reddit to Lemmy

I want a whole Lemmy subreddit ( community? ) of the AI overviews gone wild like this, it’s funny af
