Yeah… I used to sell Apple gear.

When Apple announced the Mighty mouse 20 years ago, everyone was super excited. There wasn’t much info, and we were almost wondering if it was a touch sensitive button on it.

What we got though was a mouse which gave you RSI any time you clicked the right button.

Now, I have a Mac Studio. Every PC has the power button on the top or front. This guy? Nah, lets put it on the back! And the M2 is a professional machine, so lets ship with 8GB ram only… And MAKE IT SHARED VIDEO MEMORY!

And lets stick an ARM chip with no raytracing on it, because thats what people crave

Apple insider are already framing this as not a design flaw but an advantage somehow

Yep. I hate clickbait. You’re a legend

Of course it has. It says everything you need to know

Maybe they should be investigated for all the child porn they used to host and the TD contributions to the riots

I have housemates. And cameras and dogs… But you’re normally right

Facebook definitely is.

My post on the weekend telling people where I was travelling to ensure if I disappeared they’d know where to find me for deleted for cybersecurity reasons

Yet, I regularly report abuse, bullying, porn, etc and the AI moderation never sees any issues

And every single post there now is:

Lol 😂 Newline newline new line

Repost repost…I am an obvious bot. Often I am a stupid car meme mocking EVs and solar, etc

Yeah. That was admittedly the big issue with Australia. With VFR it was useless unless we used Orbx in the days

Not because they wanted to, but because they had to…

That’s not really odd. It likely caches decompressed assets and such.

I wish there was a way to hide the synopsis.

I like watching movies and TV without knowing the plot of what I’m about to watch

It’s pretty much copying lol. It has no idea about patents, or unique ideas. It basically just takes every unique idea and pretends it invented them because it doesn’t understand

And that’s the problem

It’s basically just something that tries to take credit for everything.

This isn’t college.

And that’s not how AI works.

AI literally just copies bits of lots of sources and cobbles it together.

It has no idea what any of it means. We learn via experience. AI models won’t

If I write a reference book, I need to reference my source if I’m quoting things. Even if I saw it in 2 different books .

AI does not

Question… if there is only 1 source of information on a topic, and AI needs to reference it, what happens? It basically just copies it and changes a few words. No reference to the original author. It doesn’t even know.

If I read a book into a podcast and change a few words, take credit and don’t give any to the original author is that ok?

It’s not AI. That’s a marketing term like blockchain. Its just a combined data scraper with some random data.

Pretty much. It’s just weird this whole thread Feels like it was written by a marketing person.

Developers used to get hounded for blockchain by sales people.

Now the same people have moved to AI. Companies love it mainly because they can steal work, summarise it a bit, and profit. Some things were literally tracked down to specific web pages as the source

As others have said, it isn’t inspired always, sometimes it literally just copies stuff.

This feels like it was written by someone who invested their money in AI companies because they’re worried about their stocks

Developers in general also get treated like crap by the community too.

I used to be passionate about open source and relessed a project. But I dropped it because there were a few vocal trolls in the community tore into me.

And there are so many developers which probably have a similar issue.

The biggest enemy to the success of Linux isn’t actually Microsoft or Apple, but potentially the Linux community itself

Smoking companies still are with vaping (vaping companies literally sell to kids over the Internet and people literally are arguing it’s safe and healthy)

Which unfortunately shows that people don’t learn

Again, you do realise Mono was started by the same guy who founded Gnome right?

What people don’t realize, is that Miguel de Icaza actually started gnome and mono.

Xamarin got acquired by Microsoft.

I’m so tired of watching the community crap on every company which donates open source (I’ve been watching for 25 years at least now). Even Redhat which basically is a major factor to the survival of Linux is getting crapped on. Systemd developers, etc.

If people are genuinely interested in Linux growing, they need a positive community. Because developers like myself mostly stopped providing free code (as a hobbyist developer) because whilst finding help is difficult, it’s not hard to find people willing to abuse you and your projects unfortunately

Even the VLC developers can’t escape the abuse

The guy who started mono also started gnome you realize.

More likely he influenced this decision

Mate. I don’t even use Windows anymore lol

And I started a few open source projects and contributed to a lot of them.

This is why Linux still isn’t gaining market share because for 25 years I’ve been watching the community scare off developers and treat them like crap. It happens constantly.

You’re not giving anyone any incentive to assist

In all likelihood they donated this code because it doesn’t benefit them anymore or became a burden. The developers aren’t sitting there thinking “mmm, this is gonna make us so popular”.

Did you know the guy who stayed mono is actually the guy who started gnome? They got acquired by Microsoft.
