So your saying you could go to amazon.com and they will instantly show you lower prices at perse Newegg and Best buy.

Also for a company, you order from one or multiple suppliers. There's no system in place to cross shop, you just have to go to both suppliers and compare the prices yourself.

If they work together to that degree it would either encourage price fixing or cannibalize each other's sales.

Boy I love it when people don't read.

Sorry I feel strongly about this. Play with it all you want it's really cool shit! But please don't pay for access to it and if you need some art or a professional write-up please just pay someone to do it.

It'll mean so much to your fellow man in these uncertain times and the quality will be so much better.

I hate to break it to you but not all machine learning is llms based. I've been messing with neural based tts from a small project called piper. I'm looking into an image recognition neural network to write software for and train myself. I might try writing it myself for fun 🤔

I'm not interested in anything that uses stolen data like that so my options are limited and relegated to incredibly focused single purpose tools or things I make myself with the tools available.

I'd love to play with image generation and large language models but until all the legal stuff is worked out and individuals get paid for their work I'm not touching it.

To me it's as cut and dry as this. If it's the difference between an individual becoming their own boss/making a better living and a corporation growing their market cap I'll always choose the individual. I know there's a possibility of that growth resulting in more jobs but I'd rather have an environment where small businesses open breed competition and overall improve everyone's life. Let's not give the keys over to companies like Microsoft and close more doors.

I don't care about the discussion of true AI having rights. It's only going to be used to make the wealthy wealthier.

For that you need companies that find value in cannibalizing sales of their more expensive products even if the quality is better.

Most stores in general rely on certain sales driving you in and you spending money on the more expensive items because your already there.

I'm on his side, I don't get the dislike. Maybe he likes massive corporations stealing people's data putting artist and journalist out of work.

If something like Fossil fuel companies are influencing environmental legislation and poisoning our planet while blaming us for the state of global warming. Isn't it worth fighting for a better future. It might feel futile now but as congregation we have more power than many of us realize. They tell you stop it, it's too late but what they're really saying is stop it your scaring us.

Will my dell latitude from 2006 work?

It's so fun to play with offline AI. It doesn't have the creepy underpinnings of knowing art and journalism as well as musings from social media was blatantly stolen from the internet and sold as a service for profit.

Edit: I hate theft and if you think theft is ok for training llms go ahead and dislike this comment. I don't feel bad about what I said, local offline AI is just better because it doesn't work on the premise of backroom deals and blatant theft. I will never use an AI like DALL.E when there is a talented artist trying to put food on the table with a skill they honed for years. If you condone stealing you are a cheap, heartless, coward.

That sucks man. At least something like that doesn't have to be permanent.

Frickin love RSS feed. I've actually gotten bad about populating it with my favorite YouTubers and the git projects I've been following lately. Plus archlinux news updates of course.

I use feeder though, it does the job but it doesn't pull the websites directly.

The best part is when your finger goes numb and falls off.

Have fun with that, I'm sure it'll be fine. If he does it'll most likely be dead in the water. His fanboys wouldn't give up their MacBooks to run a Linux operating system anyway, they're all about being coddled and told what to like.

I mean most of those are replacing platforms from meta and Twitter with fediverse based platforms but that's not the point.

That last part is a huge bonus. It's creepy how much information the get from watching your consumption habits. Imagion how many times you've stopped to look at an ad of something you were interested in just to see if it's on sail or something.

Not even interacting with the ad they can gauge interest in certain categories let alone the product itself.

Then he pushes his company AI on Ubuntu and tries to get people to use it.

My new steam deck will compliment my Linux desktop nicely!

It's so hard to find populated hashtags though. I wish there was more discourse on mastodon but it's just people shouting into the void.

I love the enthusiasm but it's funny to say posting to a platform that makes copies on other servers and opens up APIs that make it very easy to scrape and build a profile with a little scripting has any privacy.

It's still better than meta or Twitter but your not private on these platforms. The companies that might make accounts to advertise from can easily be blocked and need to try harder to actually get your attention.

Just be weary AI and ad companies are probably already scraping these platforms and it's thanks to the open nature and the inherent flaws of modern monolithic social media design.
