  • I think it depends on the type of software. Subscriptions do make sense for software that requires regular updates, e.g. something tax related, where you need it updated with the latest regulations every year. Basically for anything that won't be useful a year from the purchase date without feature updates.

  • And imagine if products that couldn't get by on their own merits without ads wouldn't exist at all. How much more productive and happy our society would be if we got rid of useless products and the negative feelings ads induce when we don't have those useless products at the same time.

  • And how will that help? The earliest when an entire country could reasonably expect to rely on nuclear power if they have no legal framework for it at all is probably in 30 years or so (20 years to build at least a few once the legal situation has been cleared up). How does that help the situation at all?

  • Seems more like a proof of concept project for that paper than something they are pursuing seriously judging by the GitHub location in some example folder that hasn't seen any significant updates in over a year. If it is so great I would assume they would pursue it more actively and replace existing models with it two years later.

  • The thing is that this is increasingly not true, hasn't been true with blockchain and crypto that was all garbage and no substance, not with the metaverse hype, not with any of the hype Elon Musk tried to create (hyperloop?) and not with AI as a worker replacement.

    There just isn't any useful bit that sticks around in many cases and where there is those useful bits were never part of the hype or have been around for much longer than the hyped part.

  • Most of these languages dont even have enough professional voice actors to cover the bandwidth.

    And you think anyone is training AI voice models for those languages? Have you even seen how long it takes even large companies like Google to support the languages with hundreds of millions of speakers?

  • it can code pretty effectively

    As long as you are okay with 95% of your code not doing what you intend it to do while using libraries that don't exist sure. Otherwise it really can't. I am a programmer myself and have quite frankly wasted many more hours than I should have giving it the benefit of the doubt on that one and it just produces utter horseshit as code.
