Fully agree, but I'm afraid market forces will just allow the most common AI slop to exist. And I'm sure people will still consume it, and like it. Unfortunately.

This is truly my exact worry.

Wonderful answer.

I did read Superintelligence ages ago, might take this on. Thanks

This is not something taken out of thin air. While of course it's an hyperbole, as we're on the internet, it's still an opinion that I've come across more than a handful times on e.g., reddit.

I see and understand your point of creatives using AI to alter/improve/whatever their own work. I have no problem with that. The thing I'm scared about, which I arguably could've phrased better in my initial post, is that we'll reach a future where human-made work isn't valued at all. That what we get when we go into bookstores, or stream music, or go to the cinema, is work that's 99% made by an AI and only "tweaked" by humans. You say "Without a creative and inventive person behind the wheel, you get generic AI material we all know.", but at the same time I'm seeing people literally saying: before 2030 we will have the first AI movie blockbuster made completely by an AI (even though maybe someone has put in a small prompt).

As I said in another reply, these are the things I'm worried about, especially when I see the act of creative creation being based on everything that have made us and shaped us in the past. Our experiences, memories and the paths we've taken. I feel like what makes something art, is the humanness poured into it. Complete AI works will promptly devalue the art of human creation and replace it with something else that I have no doubt people will buy into (as market forces and capitalism are just another side to this that'll make this possible), but of which will degrade our society to begin looking like something from Brave New World. That consumption is the only thing that'll matter. Now, on whether this is an intrinsic danger of AI or whether it's a consequence of capitalism, I'd lean towards capitalism being at fault. But seeing as how our world is structured, I doubt the negatives will outweigh the positives once the technology develops and CEOs sees more possibility of "endless growth" using AI in this way.

Is it really a win for people to consume soulless AI poetry or prose? Even if the objective qualities (of which are hard to define anyway) makes it "better", in the eyes of the masses than a human author like Baudelaire or Mary Oliver? One could say it's up to the consumer, if they'd rather buy an AI work, then that "decides it", but market forces are really bad at deciding what's worth consuming or not.

These are the things I'm worried about, especially when I see the act of creative creation being based on everything that have made us and shaped us in the past. Our experiences, memories and the paths we've taken. I feel like what makes something art, is the humanness poured into it.

Everything about this just feels really depressing. I'm guessing many people in the world are similar about only caring about consumption. As long as they deem it "good", they don't care how/when/where and by whom it was produced by.

Which one?

This looks really great. How's the quality of the journalism? And what political leaning do they have?

I didn't see anything about the implications of this on the EU and GDPR?

Category targets are available and are more flexible than YNAB, but it's still in an experimental phase so it's not fully integrated into the GUI. Check here: https://actualbudget.org/docs/experimental/goal-templates/ I've had zero problems so far though.

It worked fine in my current environment, but not with sudoedit no. Can't remember exactly why, might look at it again. It worked for you just by setting the default editor variable?

I had a problem where even if I tried to set the default editor to vim, it'd still not use my lazyvim setup and I never figured out how to fix it.

I love Actual. So, so good. I cancelled YNAB in favor and can't ever think of going back. Aside from not having to pay $100 a year you're also not supporting the Mormon Church (YNAB is a Mormon-run company).

Awesome link. Thank you for sharing

Can someone please explain the process? This has been talked about forever, but nothing happens. Is something going to happen now? What's the timeline?

He definitely did. This is just a points farming account for some reason.

Not everything needs to have a "point". Sometimes just making things for fun can be enough of a point in itself.

I like it. Thanks for sharing

I just started playing WoW again and I don't feel any pressure from the supposed "dark patterns", or having to buy this stuff (which I can't, because I'm not in the US). It has zero effect on my gameplay. WoW is fun and addicting in a sense for sure, but there are way worse MMOs when it comes to this. Just look at any Korean MMO, like Black Desert Online. I'd even argue ESO is way worse than WoW when it comes to monetization.
