AI solving the problem it created? Woaow, the future is now!
Which has been good & bad with some of the shadier smaller conventions, mismanagement and overgrowth of some of the larger conventions into worse hotel/con experiences.
But to go beyond furcons, nerd conventions in general are now dealing with gen-ai art showing up in lazy con hosts who are just trying to scrape money from the hobby. Struggling to police makers who just download common models online and try to sell budget 3d printed crap at dealer dens / artist allies, taking spaces from actual artists.
It's a revival of old web whimsy. Sorry for your loss of it.
I'm not gonna buy a car that doesn't have a dealer network. Being able to go in person and complain when shit hits the fan is a requirement.
Never change Ford, never change.
Given how this AI push has been extremely anti-labor, we are actually fighting for human relations to improve.
Well yes because I will never install a shopping app, fast food app, travel app, hotel app, the list goes on.
Glad Microsoft did this to themselves.
Non-sense, trains can easily haul spam and transport fraudsters around!
Mine was so bad I almost vomited it all up immediately from the taste. Would very much like your option next time.
I would also like to do it without the anesthesia next time to save $1500.
Tested at 37, because occasional bloody stool. Found a few polyps but no cancer. Still had to fight with insurance to keep my costs below $2500 for the whole experience. Still upset the doctor thought I was joking when I requested a DVD or Memory stick with the tour of my insides on it.
>Look I'm not an anti-AI supporter, but you can't put your head in the sand about the environmental and social destruction it causes. Even if you use it to do good it's still incredibly harmful.
We aren't putting our heads in the sand, we're objecting to increasingly frantic pushes on a global scale to force this shit on us all. We're doing harm reduction on every front we can from personal lives to software.
Just out of curiosity, why the Sparc laptop? While I'd love to find one today to tinker with, I assume anyone who had one back then was mainly working on sun machine's / unix and needed some at home familiarity.
Well we currently have fallout in FreeBSD land because of Jordan Hubbard slopping together Daemonarchy.
Going about as well as you expect when you even loosely tie yourself to a crazy white nationalist like DHH. Even in what is barely a reference to his slop dotfiles masquerading as a distro.
plagiarism machine can not be trusted.
therefore plagiarism machine must not be allowed to make decisions.
It's kinda funny that you can put that after all of the big jumps in technology:
Email: It gave rise to spam and many types of fraud.
Cellphones: It gave rise to spam and many types of fraud.
Texting: It gave rise to spam and many types of fraud.
Social Media: It gave rise to spam and many types of fraud.
Online Gaming: It gave rise to spam and many types of fraud.
Smart phones: It gave rise to spam and many types of fraud.
And now AI: It gave rise to spam and many types of fraud.
I would say good luck combining "serious alternative" and sloperating systems, but then modern Windows is going off a cliff so maybe compared to Windows this is serious.
I don't see why we can't just put an entire board of a company in jail. Might inspire them to do better.
