  • It's a tool; it can be used well by skilled people to create a good output

    Of course that's true for things like programming if used only as a chat-based responsive rubber duck to help debug or investigate potential architecture. People using it to spit out entire projects is terrible though and it's destroying the open source ecosystem by making it difficult to find projects that aren't jank and likely to be immediately abandoned

    But in regards to generating any sort of art media, there is no good output or skilled creators because there's no skill or effort put into it. You're not skilled because you put a prompt into a chat bot in the same way you're not a skilled chef for putting in an order at McDonalds.

  • I get it though, the state of everything right now really really sucks. When I enjoy content that I later find to be AI generated, I feel like I've been deceived or manipulated and it has me doubting the authenticity of pretty much everything to avoid feeling that way.

    I don't know what the solution would be to it at this point either

  • lol

  • Nice, I can get behind that policy. LLMs can be useful but only if you assume the output is wrong until proven correct. Using it to find potential threads to pull at makes sense to me but not blindly trusting everything it points out

  • That's fair... lately I've been more of a Kubernetes configurator than a developer so I get you

  • I do agree partially but I also get wanting "engineer" to be a protected term. I think software design is probably one more valid uses of the term but I think applying it to everything ain't it (I.e. sanitation engineer).

    Tbh I'm happy enough just having a Software Developer title

  • Welp

  • IIRC you can't actually use the title "Engineer" prefixed or not without having a P.Eng license here in Canada. Of course, that didn't stop my previous American employers from giving me the title of Software Engineer but it's not supposed to be allowed

  • You just need to setup a reverse proxy. My Jellyfin instance has been accessed from all over the world

  • Based doesn't even begin to describe that man

  • Thanking your ChatGPT is a civic duty to cost Sam Altman money

  • Well, It'll work for the founder(s) who will probably sell the company at the height of the platform's popularity for stupid amounts of money.

    The new owners (or the OG VC investors) will want a return on their investment though, of course, and the platform will rapidly enshitify pushing out the userbase. Or maybe the users will just deal with it because of the network effect and all. Eitherway the founder(s) will have gotten rich off the sale so they don't care anymore which is pretty much the only goal in founding a company at this stage of capitalism

  • True true, but I have an NVIDIA shield I'd rather use even if it has its own problems

  • man I'm glad my LG TV has only had internet for all of maybe ten minutes since I got it years ago

  • I know my direct neighbours' names and have talked a few times. I'm also familiar with most of the unhoused in the area and always say hello when passing by. A couple are super friendly and I'll always grab my empties for them if I see them looking for cans

    (I live in the city centre)

  • built for AI agent workloads

    I'm so tired of this shit

  • I've always been a little confused by that meme since it's never been an issue at Canadian Taco Bells

  • How the fuck are you bringing race into this, what the fuck? I'm gunna assume you're American because man that's fucking weird

  • Compared to Canada it seems kind of absurd to me how much power mayors in the US seem to have

  • Ask Lemmy @lemmy.world

    Voyager users, how many up/downvotes do you have recorded on me?

  • Lemmy @lemmy.ml

    35 subscribers within minutes of community creation?

    Is anyone here not from reddit?
