Honestly the fact that it has code that says "under condition X, don't save the user" is concerning in and of itself. I wouldn't trust this thing in the first place.

I've been using GIMP for over a decade. It's slowly starting to become one of the leading sources of frustration in my computing life. The more I learn about it the less it makes any sense.

Not trying to be negative here. Just saying that a modernization is much needed and I'm really excited for this.

I've been using it for well over a year now.

Hit my limit in 1 day and canceled.

Fellas, is this thread racist?

FWIW, Alaska and Hawaii are both key strategic locations for the US military which is why they are currently under US control.

I'm the guy who actually likes and uses gnome as my daily driver.

It's for people who want to spend less time complaining about desktop environments and more time actually doing stuff.

Everyone is talking about electricity going down but the real problem will be the Tesla DRM servers going down.

Guess I'm not a human anymore

Can't use the phrase "X app" anymore without confusing people thanks to Musk.

Me working on graphics and audio programming all day.

No, because "my uncle" didn't post a 6 paragraph essay that no one has ever read, but you are now expected to read.

Ethics aside, this is a pretty based take IMO.

+10 year SWE who really loves programming.

This is more or less the advice I give to a novice now.

Not really because these are open source projects. The one that is easier to develop for will likely get more features which leads to more users.

That being said, Java was a questionable choice IMO.

That's not really "like" and IVR, that's literally an IVR.

Most IVR software is programmable to say/do whatever you need it to.

Currently on day zero since I develop audio software for a living.

The idea is that flock cameras eliminate these threats. They don't. But that's the idea.

So they advised us to feed as much data as we can into these AIs, so that when policymakers ask AI about their options, they will not only get the lobbyist answer.

That's not how AI works though. You can't feed data into an AI in a way that affects the answers other people get. It's not learning anything in real-time like that.

If you want to "feed data" into an AI system all you can really do is publish that data publicly and wait for it to be scraped up into their training data.

Edit: I'll admit that I overlooked the fact they do add conversations to training data but a single user is going to be weighted VERY low. Especially if their data looks like an outlier.

Seems pretty unlikely to me that you could really influence the model in a meaningful way like that.

Better off focusing on public/authoritative data that will get weighted a lot heavier.

You know times were tough when people were convulsing recreationally.

I think this is a major over generalisation that misses the main point of why people don't want AI projects. The real questions are:

• Is this slop?
• Does a human understand all of this code?
• Did a human design this deliberately or is it completely derivative and uninspired?
• Will a human take responsibility for bugs that come up?
• Did a human write the docs?
• Will this be maintained or just a weekend project with no substance?
• Does this actually serve a purpose?

Idk how to address these things really. I could see the AI tag going both ways, but I do think it's painting with too broad a brush.
