Tell me you don't understand how generative AI works.

Current generation generative AI is mapping patterns in images to tokens in text description, creating a model that reproduces those patterns given different combinations of input tokens. I don't know the finer details of how the actual models are structured... But it doesn't really matter, because if human brains can create something, there's nothing stopping a sufficiently advanced computer and program from recreating the same process.

We're not there, not by a long shot, but if we continue developing more computational power, it seems inevitable that we will reach that point one day.

I might be wrong, but I think that actually wouldn't do anything, because grub is installed by the tooling from the package, not the package itself?

I do want to clarify: it's not Linux itself, but specific distributions (or rather their package managers). As far as I know, Arch's pacman would do nothing to stop me 🥰

As long as progress continues and humanity survives, computer generated art will eventually outperform humans. It's pretty obvious, as far as science knows you could just simulate a full human consciousness and pull images out of that somehow, but able to run that in parallel, never deteriorating, never tiring. It's not a matter of if "AI" can outperform humans, it's a matter of if humanity will survive to see that and how long it might take.

If it brings people comfort to not use the same towel, it's probably not worth trying to push them away from that habit. It's one thing to know it intellectually, and another to feel off-put by the idea.

If the original goal (as stated) is maintaining sustainable population levels, not really, since that implies maintaining the same population level, just outsourcing part of the childbirth (and potentially raising and education)

That's not a solution, that's just outsourcing the childbirth

Funny, Connect for one shows it as redirtSdeR in comments, but on the profile it shows RedStrider... Which way around is it actually written?

I get the impression that misrepresentation is banned... And that's why ads are often not about the product, but instead showing emotional images, playing catchy music (with brand-related lyrics), making related jokes. When what you can truthfully say is no better than the competition, you have to take a different approach...

I'm pretty sure it is a wrapper in the way it looks up game-specific information to apply specific tweaks to how the game is ran and how the prefix is set up... But it is also true that it does also include a modified version of wine, so the terminology is difficult to pin down.

That said, I don't mean it in a disingenuous way, at least I don't think it is such. I do believe valve is often attributed excessive credit for proton's creation, but I don't think they did anything wrong, much less "just nab it". Open-source is open-source, and I'd imagine people who put work towards making wine viable are happy that Valve brought it to the mainstream.
