That just comes standard on pretty much every SUV now. Half the electric vehicles here have a fuckin light bar across the front. It’s insane how much worse visibility is at night outside of towns. Add in more aging drivers and everyone else not even looking at the road and it’s not surprising.

What they know is Google though. Most normal people doing a search now just take the Gemini snippet at the top. They don’t know or care what AI even is really. I don’t know how OpenAI can possibly compete with web search defaults.

What’s with tech people always stating (marketing) things as akin to high end sports cars. The state of AI is more like arguing over which donkey is best, lol.

Some QT or Cosmic takes on Pika Backup. The maybe unrealistic dream would be some new non gtk photo dam that ignores editing all together and hands off files as needed to an editor like vkdt. Kinda like Adobe Bridge.

The pampered idiots that suggest these things would literally not survive a year of actual work at 40 hours let alone what they propose

I’m not sure I agree. I did move to DarkTable but the organization side is much rougher than something like Lightroom.

That said I would never go back. Switching to darktable’s scene-referred workflow was almost like switching a chemical process. People looking for a 1:1 with LR or C1 will be disappointed, but darktable’s tools and masks can do so much more than either of them. I feel limited working with LR now. I also don’t use AI at all in my work so I don’t care about those features

And even can support RAW data. This will be such a huge benefit to still photographers. Multichannel data also allows scientists and astronomers to have access to a lot more data in an image file (plus alpha for transparency), even animation. Really is next level.

Googles push for everything is aggressive. Their apps constantly push Chrome on me.

Probably more to do with the fact that every app is now designed to gather as much data as possible to build an ad profile on you.

Based on what? There is tons of amazing art being produced in every region of the world. More than any time in human history.

You people are fucking delusional. “Human creativity” hasn’t fallen because some venture capitalists push their fake music up a list that doesn’t even mean anything.

Businessmen milking talented dead people for as much as possible. Exactly what it’ll be used for.

Only it fucking hasn’t.

While that posters statement is kinda strong it’s become increasingly hard to separate America and China as a non-American. What ICE is doing doesn’t really look that different than the situation in Xinjiang. And the apathy of the public about it doesn’t seem very different either.

That isn’t really true. Machine learning is designed to teach itself. Regardless, what does it matter if you can’t go back and learn anything interesting about the people whose work is in the training

Edgy. Enjoy your fake human endeavours.

Did you get your entire idea of the art world from memes or something? Mate your whole comment is ironic as all hell.

Comments are wild. Amazes me how much of the tech world is completely oblivious to the fact that art is interesting precisely because of the context and people involved.

How is it sampling when you don’t even know where it came from, don’t know who wrote the code to find it, and the actual companies barely even know how their own product works. Apples to dinosaurs.

Only with all other art till now most every element is a conscious decision by the artist with intent. Most AI “artists” don’t have a clue what’s actually in their “own” images. Any emotional reaction is a byproduct of the training data (which was created largely by real artists with intent). In which cases the audience would likely understand the history and context of a piece better than the person who typed the prompt. This is nothing at all like other technical developments even though they did indeed see pushback.
