Yeah he's definetely not innocent, but this is 100% the board at Unity throwing the CEO under the bus to try and control the damage

Lemmy is far better than Reddit regarding the use of downvotes, but many people still use it as an emotional disagreement button rather than something used to hide useless/irrelevant content

I don't know if I'd agree at all with the idea that Lemmy is any better, in my experience, people still use the downvote button as an "I Disagree" button 99% of the time. There's less people here, so it's less pronounced (you'll get -9 instead of -300 for expressing an against-the-grain opinion), but the pattern is still just as present

Generally speaking - there aren't many areas where the finished product using 3d printing is better than more traditional methods. The main advantage of 3d printing is the flexibility. Injection molding will pretty much always give you a better result, but you'll be able to go from idea to physical prototype much more quickly with 3d printing - not to mention that your average person isn't going to be able/willing to set up an injection mold in their homes.

In industrial use (so not consumers) the main use for 3d printing is indeed rapid prototyping, 3d printing doesn't really scale all that well to mass production, but if you're going to be iterating on a design several times before getting something you're comfortable with, then it's a great choice

Frankly if argue that grouping all the different varied cultures under the simple term "western culture" is equally reductive and unproductive. There is no single "Western Culture" just as there's no single "indigenous culture"

theoretically they could provide an embedded video link I suppose and the centralized viewer could use that.

The trouble is that most content creators like RT aren't going to want that either, because the whole point is that they want to be able to serve ads and whatnot to pay the bills - plus they'd very much prefer people go to their site so that they continue watching RT content, instead of just watching one thing and moving on. Ultimately the "perfect" solution is going to have to strike a middle ground between what consumers want and creators need

And that's a fair perspective, but it doesn't really change the core issue

Cool? What exactly does that have to do with my comment?

Jesus look at this dudes post history, it's literally nothing but shitting on Biden. Dude takes his astroturfing seriously lol

And I don't disagree that it will fail, but the fact that it's happening in the first place makes it significant and so worth talking about. Whether or not its a good idea, companies all over the world are exploring ways to replace human labor with these products, and thats what makes it significant.

^They really haven't had much of an impact beyond people talking about them all the damn time, especially the fear mongering. At present, these are really just expensive toys. Computer image and gibberish generators.

I highly disagree. Almost everyone I know under the age of 40 uses LLMs to some extent in the course of their job already, whether it's as simple as composing emails or as significant as using copilot/chatGPT to code. And just today I read an article about an entire call center getting laid off this week to be replaced by an LLM.

I completely agree that a lot of the hype is overblown, but "AI" is absolute significant in our society, and so we talk about it

That's a great analogy, wish I'd thought of it

I guess it comes down to whether the courts decide to view AI as a tool like photoshop, or a service - like an art commission. I think it should be the former, but I wouldn't be at all surprised if the dinosaurs in the US gov think it's the latter

Frankly, when I was in high school - cost was never the issue in whether a couple used condoms, and even in my relatively conservative area, there were local programs that would give out free condoms if you cared enough to look

Better sex education would go a much longer way imo - because even in California our sex Ed (this was like a decade ago, so maybe it's changed) was full of "abstinence only" garbage - thankfully the teachers were usually smart enough to go off book and give realistic advice/answers
