Real life LLMs have shown me the potential for the world to be just as miserable and dystopia as in a lot of sci-fi but also if this is where we are now, then maybe most sci-fi doesn’t take it far enough. People will stop thinking for themselves and rely on AI for everything and blindly believe what it tells them.

This doesn’t really answer the question but I was reading Asimov short story the other day “Belief” and it felt like he’d hit the nail on the head such a long time ago.

I literally can’t think of a scientific use case where lossy compression would be acceptable?

I understood some of those words. Sounds like the future though

A printer or printer firmware. There was a discussion about this elsewhere on lemmy, of course this would be difficult and expensive but it would be very cool

It’s really surprising this doesn’t already exist. It’s such a hated piece of tech, I would have thought someome would have thought they could do better! I don’t know enough to do it myself but I’d sure as hell support a project to do it!

Incredible to see how far blender has come. I remember using it over ten years when I was trying to get off pirated software (3ds max), while it’s still recognisable the capability has exploded

Yeah I’ve heard that, fingers crossed somebody comes across it one day

This is incredible news. So sad to see tiberian Sun isn’t there though!

Sounds like you were the odd one out, everyone I knew had plenty of VHS and DVD. They were a very common gift also

I’m 40% dolomite

I think that is downplaying it, while mobile devices caused the major boom in access, the Internet was already prolific before

The Internet has changed almost every aspect of daily life, I don’t see why you don’t think it is as innovative as the invention of the car.

I don’t think you understand how the redshift app works then? It’s not meant to stop bright lights, it is meant to remove blue light to mimic the light of evenings

Definitely disagree, dark mode doesn’t change the temperature of other things you are viewing such as images and video

All HTTP requests include your ip address, you don’t “consent” to giving it to anybody. You can geolocate somebody based on ip address but it won’t be very accurate
