I assume you either mean financially or in terms of general support and word of mouth. Trust me, I wish I could be a dev so, so badly, but as interesting as code and computers are, I’m light years away from getting in there and being able to fuck with shit. I love learning about programming, but I’m not the best at actually learning it. lmao
I say, as I sit in a first level computer science class, typing this because I’m totally lost in the actual lecture.
Wayyy ahead of you!
And here I thought AMD was somehow a better option.
I like your thought process, but struggle to agree with you because I don’t believe there is a way for this kind of technology to be ethical without being rebooted (haha) from the ground up. Even so, about the only thing I think it should be used for is double checking what humans have already done, or perhaps printing text from human speech for quick and dirty subtitles. However, all that is assuming that the data it is working off of was not stolen, and that it is not able to “generate” anything “new” because that’s just theft and exploitation.
Right. Sorry, I’ll try to make the post clearer bc I’m not trying to mislead anyone, I’m just so upset that this is even being entertained by Linux devs, it’s boiling my blood.
That’s not the whole issue.
Linux, of all projects, should be opposed to these kind of things as a whole. Sure, we could argue it’s not as bad, but I’m not comforted by that statement. The fact that those in charge don’t see or care about the obvious problems is shocking.
Fuck yeah that’s awesome! Wishing you the best of luck and no off-by-one errors haha
Yeah I… Okay let’s take automatic subtitle creation for instance. That existed well before the LLM bs and was fine. Plus, the stuff they’re calling AI isn’t pretending to “create” anything, it’s just automating some repetitive tasks or using pattern recognition to move an effect across the frame. If we were to continue to criticize them (which would be fair), I would say that they should not even entertain software made by companies like OpenAI, even if they were fully transparent. However, I don’t think it’s on the same level as including or supporting anything that claims to be generative.
I won’t be installing the AI stuff either, just to be safe, but my issues with the things they replied to me with are the sources of the code they’re using and it’s potential to be exploitative, not the actual uses of the software. Does that make sense?
Could be soup for all we know :p
Followed by a sneering, rude as hell comment that’s actually praising them.
I got a response! https://bark.lgbt/@cloudskater/116179184695668448
That’s funny because I leave songs unreleased for the single fact that I can’t commission art for all of them, and I have no skills personally, so I DO find it harder to make cover art then music! But you know what I still do? Get an actual artist to make something for me! At some point!
What kind of software are you making? I mostly make music and videos and stuff so I have no clue if it applies to me but please put it on my radar.
Also can I marry you?
Yuuuup! And I ain’t sticking around long enough to find out!
Idk if I’d call it mean spirited, but it sure was meant to be rude, yeah. Why should I respect someone who so blatantly disrespects me and my creative peers, and in such an obviously hypocritical way? I would never incite harassment against anyone, but I have no tolerance left for people who do anything less then shun this stuff. We’ve all had years to understand the harms “generative” AI causes, yet some people who run decentralized instances, heck, even those who create open source tools, continue to either turn a blind eye or be outright accepting of this shit.
I don’t think it’s productive to bash people either, but if I get a response as ignorant as the one I got from Meldrik, in 2026, it isn’t my responsibility to be civil to someone who clearly does not care. At that point, all I can really muster is, “Wow. You’re a dick.” because anything else is a waste of my time.
110%. I still haven’t even played Sonic Frontiers all the way through bc the only way to play it without that shit is to emulate a console. The only emulatable version of the game is the Switch version, and my machine isn’t up to the task because of all the overhead.
