Brilliant! You could have an overarching storyline of brief dialogues interrupted by full games of Civilization.
AI does mean something, but it’s quite disappointing.
Even mundane algorithms like A* pathfinding are technically under the umbrella of Artificial Intelligence. However the public’s perception of what AI means constantly shifts to be “whatever computers can’t do today”.
AI isn’t a scam, but damn, most of the businesses surrounding it sure are.
I believe pixart sigma is more open. The community hasn’t rallied around it though.
Edit: Fuck yes, pixart is AGPL!
Yes, though Far Side isn’t exactly known for its scientific accuracy.
I know people shit on those bots that repost content from Reddit and other places, but it’s a really simple way to bootstrap content on Lemmy. I think if we want to win we need to be open to that.
Probably no, unless it turns out to have more porn than non-porn. Which could definitely happen!
(And with a site name like X, probably should happen.)
It’s advertising more than AI for me. Everything you do in Windows is monetized by selling your preferences to advertisers. Shameful.
Locally run AI could be great. But sending all your data to an external server for processing is really, really bad.
It won’t fizzle out; it already has legitimate business use cases. (A lot fewer than the marketing bros want you to believe, but real use cases nonetheless.) Blockchain and Augmented Reality never reached this point, so they fizzled. We’ll see a huge AI winter soon just like we did in the dot com bust in 2000.
Touch grass. It’s the best replacement for social media of any kind!
Oh god FreeCAD is a nightmare to learn. But it does get work done. I wish Blender could move more into that space.
Inkscape is lovely but imo it could use some interface cleanup. (And really it has been getting better each major update.)
GIMP needs the Blender treatment honestly. Inkscape too. That would cover the vast majority of what I do art-wise.
Honestly, dating apps are one of the cases for a federated system. Use whatever frontend you want, no one person owns the backend so they can’t sleazily monetize you. Probably would need to be a bit more cryptographic than something like lemmy or mastodon though.
I mean, Twitter is the dumbest shit on the internet. But Reddit gets close sometimes!
lol not sure why you’re calling out Israel specifically when likely every government on the planet is doing the same thing.
One of my favorite Far Side comics!
It certainly used to be true, in the era of 32 bit computers.
They’re not stranded because the part of the capsule that isn’t working has multiple redundancy and is intended to burn up on reentry anyway.
Starliner is perfectly capable of leaving the ISS whenever they want, but they would be unable to continue collecting data on the thruster shutoff (again, because it would burn up in the atmosphere).
