Those other things aren’t the bubble though, the bubble is about generative AI, not other machine learning methods

This bubble sure

But our long-term prospect as a civilization…? Much less certain. If systems don’t get replaced by something that works we will end up in an overconsumed climate ravaged neofeudualist cyberpunk style hellscape

Everyone is a cog in the dang machine. That’s why people criticize capitalism as a system so much

And it’s going to be our downfall

The original owners retained full creative control though. It would have been fine if Krafton didn’t try to fuck them over

Everything is political

And FOSS is explicitly political. It’s open-source free software. What do you think it is? It doesn’t exist in a vacuum

For you first paragraph I mean, fair, I guess I had an inexplicit assumption that you’re gonna vet the creator/know them (like, say, from social media). Ofc it doesn’t guarantee everything but. Maybe I shouldn’t have said “I don’t see how”, it’s strong wording. I know sex workers irl so it’s them I had in mind.

But still, yes, you’re right, things are, as usual, always a bit of a mess in our world.

I mean if you pay a creator directly I don’t see how that could be unethical

But also, every job under capitalism is unethical. The system is fucked but people still need to eat, so you know, choose your evil I guess

At least twitch is a bit different than YouTube in that the culture there it’s normal for people to pay and donate to streamers. Even though the owners still suck massively, of course

1984 ass

It would definitively be nice to see them on FOSS platforms, they probably just want to be where the users are. But yeah, I do agree

If you’re concerned about the site shutting down, seed some of their torrents from their site so that it’s easier to re-launch it if it happens

Norway isn’t dense. It has less population density than the US does

It has happened, I’ve had at least a few trump-supporters/right-wingers yapping at me in comments saying stupid stuff

10% of all crashes is definitively a brag. Crashes due to faulty hardware/bitflips is rare rare, generally I would expect that percentage to be less than 1% in any complex app

Definitively a bubble. I know pro-AI people irl

Personally I’m more in the “it’s not the tool, but how it’s used (aka, the rich fucks are the problem, as usual)”

Calling us “Euroids” is sure to build sympathy

While I agree that AR glasses will become widespread, there’s still time to advocate for and implement privacy focused regulations. Especially early on as people are upset about the technology

While not perfect solutions, enforcing stuff such as recording LEDs and such are steps in the right direction

In other words, it’s why authoritarianism always fail

And capitalism is very specifically not a democratic economic system. There’s a hierarchy. The owners are the ones in power

You know what sucks?

In that AR glasses, in theory, are such an interesting technology with lots of potential, and certainly a piece of tech I would love to have and work with and on. Not to secretly record people, but to, well… augment my field of view with whatever digital tools or displays I would like. It would be so useful

It’s honestly kinda saddening to me that it most likely will get completely ruined by our current toxic relationship to technology. A step towards our ever increasing cyberdystopia, and not towards enchanting our limited lives

Obviously either way I don’t trust Meta, but an open-hardware device running a FOSS AR system? It would be nice…

I still hold out hope that this somehow could be resolved, and I would love to contribute to open software for these devices. Maybe one day soon-ish I will. My expertise should be well applicable, after all

That article was an insane read. I couldn’t have written more unserious people if I tried
