Yes, I use the tools every day and understand how they work. Failing to fully explain the mechanics of LLMs does not materially change the meaning of my original statement.

There's a reason that fan fiction is not regarded as true creative art that should be respected and discussed like other mediums: it;s not trying to do something new and original, the whole point is to re-combine and shuffle things around to sound and feel and look like the original work, just more, but not different in any real enough way to matter.

So then blame the real problem, which is not new and has always been the main enemy: capitalism and its demand for seeking profits despite any consequences.

That has nothing to do with "AI" and still doesn't have anything to do with the original claim of whether or not the new wave of LLMs are capable of creativity.

Why would AI that can't be creative take jobs from people that are capable of being creative?

so that AI can do creative activities

Let me stop you right there. The current concept of "AI"--otherwise known as Large Language Models because that is really what people are referring to--is not capable of creativity. ChatGPT and things like it just regurgitate stuff they find. They can't create something new and original

Hey, that's a fun feature! Now I'm looking forward to add my first flair for "Iowa = Mediocre Corn".

Also, appreciate the Bug Eaters reference. I wish I knew your flair's lore enough to say something similarly clever, but alas, I do not.

Three indictments so far, each of which cover multiple crimes that were part of the same general activity. Multiple instances of the same crime, called charges, are totaled as separate "counts". For example, the latest indictment has 4 charges of 4 different crimes, each of which only has one count. Compare that to the second indictment in the secret documents case, which has 31 counts of the same crime ("willful retention of national defense information"), plus a few more counts of additional crimes.

You are correct that there are currently 78* individual instances of crime which the former President has been arrested and charged for committing. That was a crazy sentence to type, but here we are.

Hopefully that helps make a bit more sense.

* Sorry for paywalled article, but it was the only source I could find quickly to confirm the current charge total.

This is more relevant for Lemmy than client apps, but the problem with relying on ads is that you then become beholden to the ad-buyers.

I think that can be mitigated by operating as a non-profit that is not seeking to launch a multi-billion IPO at some point in the future, however. Decentralization is the answer to the "growth problem" that the last decade of failed tech investments has constantly run into.

Thanks for putting this together!

As far as I know, this is fundamentally the same thing that Reddit flair did, but eventually that got automated. Same thing can be done here, although I don't think Lemmy (or Kbin, my preferred Federated instance) support community-specific themes yet so people will need a client-side solution for awhile.

Edit: forgot to say that my flair would be Nebraska (NU, preferably, until some pesky Northwestern fan shows up). Go Big Red!

I agree! The pace things are moving has me very excited. I might need to brush the dust off my soldering iron so I can convert my 5+ nest speakers into something that is fully local and open source.

State charges from Georgia are likely coming this week, too, from all the recent headlines.

I don't think that localization would help much. Most, probably all, assets that are taking up so much storage space are not going to include language directly.

Flash drives are already at that price point for consumers, let alone at manufacturing/bulk prices.
