INB4 trust fund babies and gormless capitalists go and ream every last fucking cent from the brand destroying it in the process before moving on to the next thing.
How is ROCm these days? I remember needing the official AMD drivers for OpenCL stuff a while ago and ROCm was in very early development.
I’m ok with the non-answer
If they are human it could be dangerous for them to continue the conversation. I don’t know what they believe or if they are under duress. Or they aren’t and have simply had a moments reflection. Maybe not, maybe they just want to be done with this since neither of us are going to change our minds.
I’m kind of done with this too.
And by that logic Russia should?
A: Leave Ukraine
B: Keep up it’s expansionist war
This one should be easy.
I think we can all agree unprompted expansionist wars of aggression are bad, are you allowed to say that with me or are you within defenestration distance of a window?
If you are blink twice.
If Russia man cared, then Russia man should gtfo of Ukraine.
I mean if you pay attention most social media inundated with influencers and companies is basically:
“Buy this, no buy this, buy this instead, spend your money here!” It even leeches into everyday conversations outside of social media.
Pay attention to how often people talk about buying things and newly released products. Hell, I’ve caught myself contributing to it. It’s kind of gross when you realize how steeped in consumerism nearly everything has become.
What I’m getting from this is that some monopoly busting is sorely needed.
So, no way in hell this could comply with GDPR then.
What happens if you take a picture of the screen with your phone? Not ideal in terms of quality but I’m willing to bet it would work as a stupid easy bypass.
What I’d like to see is an image format that is digitally signed by default so that modifications can be flagged and the source can be verified. Yeah people could modify them for malicious use cases (I don’t think it will be possible to ever prevent that unfortunately) but at least we’d know that it wasn’t the original. This doesn’t work for cases where people want to be anonymous but for things like social media selfies and posts where people are visible it could be helpful in preventing people spreading deepfakes and claiming they’re real.
Ah yes those powerless companies that have simply no choice but to destroy our biosphere.
It’s not like they can use the money that they’re currently using to lobby against environmental regulation and oversight for heavier oversight, regulations and *gasp* penalties instead… Yes it’s literally impossible to take a principled stance at the expense of literally any amount of profit. Besides, who needs clean air and livable temperatures anyway?
No it must be the consumer who must wade through the sea of greenwashing and propaganda spread by companies who have no problem outright lying about their carbon emissions to everyone’s faces. Because it’s just so easy for everyone to know the complete supply chain of every product they buy. Simple really.
Edit: After looking through your comment history I can’t help but think what you said was meant as more of a call to action for people rather than stepping to bat for multinationals as if they are helpless victims with no agency. Apologies if my comment came across as mean spirited I’ve just been on edge recently due to certain undisclosed life events. I’ll keep my base comment as is for archival though.
Voice typing long messages is IMO faster than using a phone keyboard, even with gesture typing.
Pure “prompt → image” with nothing in between I absolutely agree. It’s lazy and ripe for abuse by copyright trolls. That being said there’s a lot more in the world of AI assisted art than what most people are aware of.
Determining where the legal lines will be drawn is going to be a monumental task but I think there’s value in allowing authors to retain copyright on AI assisted works. I also can’t see the free open source models not going the way of restricting training data to public domain works like Adobe did with Firefly if that becomes a legal issue.
My pie in the sky hope is that copyright somehow becomes less stringent after all of this.
Don’t get me wrong I want protections for creators and support reasonable copyright (life of the author +25 years with the possibility of a 15 year extension) but letting a company lord over an IP for damn near a century isn’t ideal for anyone.
I’m sure the EU will love that bit of malicious compliance that apple have shown they will use to remove non-malware that they just don’t approve of using the same mechanism…
