UX-wise it's quite minimalistic, that seems one of their differentiators. And I'm liking it!

You can pair program.

That's the issue with metaphors, they are always different. Try steelmanning the issue and see what you think. I'm not here to prove a point, and I hope you're not either. I'm here to learn.

And what I'm learning is, artists are happy.

So the artist simply accepts the AI generated wooden house. Might it be possible that he does not?

Furthermore, before AI, artists also used assets that came from other creators, accepting them wholesale. No intention, then?

The issue I see here is that we're judging the tool, not the artist.

It reminds me so much of the digital photography backlash. But here we are.

With tools like this, the artist is not removed from the art. He just has more leverage.

I would argue the opposite even: this is more personal, as a singular artist can now do more by himself, without relying on others to do the parts that he couldn't do before.

Classic commoditize the complement, well done on SpaceX's side:

Every time a state tries to regulate, it loses to the states that promote instead. Seems to be a better evolutionary strategy.

It has already started:

  zero-graph v1
  origin source-text
  module "hello"
  hash "graph:a7f7e6899a73f3b4"

  node #decl_ad8d9028 Function name:"main" type:"Void" public:true fallible:true
  node #param_4610ae76 Param name:"world" type:"World"
  node #expr_c403020c MethodCall name:"write" type:"Void"
  node #expr_653eeb6e Literal type:"String" value:"hello from zero\n"
  edge #expr_c403020c arg #expr_653eeb6e order:0

I choose positivity, because it allows me to live a happy life.

Regarding Starlink, I like it because it gives people free internet in flights. It gives a friend the possibility to stay in a rural home while being able to work. It gives tens of thousands access to information when there are catastrophes like the Venezuela earthquake.

It makes people being able to live a happy(er) life.

Very happy to have helped you with this :)

Loving this, not loving the negativeness in this thread.

I wonder what the negativists will say about Reflect Orbital, which uses their Eärendil space mirror to light the world.

Exactly. Elon Musk does things for (1) fun (2) revenue in order to fuel his real mission: derisk humanity by conquering Mars.

I like him! :D

Absolutely. Degrowith is the guilt-fueled poverty mind virus.

Abundance, friends. Nothing stops us.
