Most scientists don’t expect a full collapse this century, but even a significant slowdown would have major climate consequences particularly for Europe and Africa.
If you stop collecting data, (y)our theories and models cannot be updated. So you end up being stuck in time with what you have already measured.
Imagine if in (your chosen profession) you were limited to the tools of 1970 to do the work expected of you. If you work in programming, could you have made an LLM, a complex database, or even modern reactive websites with the likes of cobol and fortran?
Using both Linux (at home) and Mac (at work), the differences are small for development. But my dev stack is basically just Neovim & CLI tools.
That said, I’ll never work on Windows. 15ish years ago I did some .net work. C# was a fun language but development on windows is a special kind of torture.
Wow I had no idea there were already popular AI artists. Xania Monet has ~500k monthly listeners on Spotify and some of her (its?) youtube videos have millions of views. This is depressing.
I don't think it's people deliberately seeking this stuff out. For whatever reason, the algorithms love recommending AI content, and I'm sure the numbers are juiced to some degree with bot farms.
Even if the courts won't uphold the copyright, that doesn't prevent people from claiming your videos and initiating YouTube's copyright process against you. This is a recurring problem for people who upload their own original performances of public-domain compositions, particularly solo piano.
Reasonable people can believe they have a legitimate ownership right when they petition YouTube for copyright enforcement for AI-generated work. The courts might eventually disagree, but that's a different thing than knowingly making a fraudulent misrepresentations to YouTube for financial benefit. This difference makes the proposed behavior criminal fraud. I highly recommend not risking twenty years of prison time for like maybe a couple hundred dollars in ad revenue.
An often repeated talking point that's broadly false without further context. Mechanical output on its own can't be copyrighted, that hasn't changed. However it can be if sufficient (as determined by the courts) human creativity went into causing it to be output.
I think the op mean people writing stuff like: "Amazing what a human soul can create", "This is such a beautiful song. I'm so happy it's not another AI slop" type of comments. I have a fairly popular youtube channel with AI generated music, I make it very obvious that it's AI, yet I still get hundreds of those comments a month.
This map is inaccurate, for at least one major FAANG player. General metro area seems to be good but actual physical location is way wrong, not even the campus is right
Why would your head always be turned to one side? Have one monitor in the middle (the main one) and secondary either left or right. Having split screen right in the middle of my field of view is ridiculously unpleasant
Now when I checked his website in little bit more detail I get that feeling more and more. Looks like someone who brags about a lot of things he owns and cannot shut up about it.
I've been following Fatih on Twitter/X for many years now. He's someone that appreciates good design, and posts about it all the time (not just things he's purchased/owns). So he's someone that appreciates good things, and then reviews and shares for others to benefit.
Some people have other hobbies that cost a lot more than enjoying fine furniture, such as cars. It's easy to dismiss something as snobby when it's not a hobby you share. But if you get to know him (for me, obviously from a distance and only from following him on Twitter), he's anything but a show-off.
How is it "rude" and "terrible" (dramatic much?) to infer a loose profile from someone based on what they willingly decide to share with the world? Maybe parent is wrong, but that's their perception of the author based on what they put out there.
Lol. I just love things man. What a rude comment. You even don’t know me :) Check my x.com/fatih account for more. I don’t withhold the things that bring me joy.
I think it reflects on the current state of things. I wonder if people look at this kind of fancy stuff and associate with a life that is ever more out of reach, instead of something to aspire to.
Mail isn't documented as a requirement, but the first item in the Requirements section is "macOS (uses launchd for scheduling and Messages for iMessage)".
True. But Apple also enshittified the UI and they had an unforgivable data loss issue with Mail back in the Catalina days, which is why I switched to Thunderbird and haven't looked back.
I believe GP's intent was to point out that a company can get into an agreement with a government (make an offer they can't refuse), but a company cannot get a "region" to sign an agreement/contract with them.
That whole thread is absurd, but if I would have to answer I would say Great Britain is the name of the region/group of islands? Open to be wrong, I know little about the UK
