On one hand, I could say it's not necessarily a bad thing if channels can secure funding for years to come to keep producing great stuff. But on the other hand, people strangely just straight up keep forgetting what happened to Rooster Teeth and a few other big names of the past. Money can make channels die with a whimper.

I'd totally buy a haunted mansion if it's haunted by a ghost from the 1990s. Hell yeah.

...Oh, I can imagine more headlines. Someone spending a lot of money to buy a house haunted by a communist, and the sociopolitical debate this purchase creates.

Remember:

Copyright law as a whole will stay the same. In the court of law, you will need to prove that you indeed operate a very big AI company that indeed does AI things before they will let you off the hook for massive copyright infringement. You can't just use that excuse casually! Rules will be for thee, not the actual AI-companees.

A while ago I tried to look for something similar to Reddit's Tip of My Tongue/Joystick (looking for media/games you have vague memories of and don't know the title), but didn't seem to find one. And I suspect it's a bit niche thing.

A lot of people are drawn to true crime because they think it's educational - learning what not to do, learn about red flags, learn how to keep oneself safe.

Same reason a lot of people watch aircraft disaster documentaries while they're afraid of flying. It's not to get further scared due to the disasters themselves, but to learn what was done about the problems that led to the incidents.

I'd just like to interject for a moment. What you're refering to as wheel, is in fact, GNU/Wheel, or as I've recently taken to calling it, GNU plus wheel.

So you've tried art, and discovered it's not for you. That's still better than not having tried art at all in first place. You at least know where you stand in regards to that question now. ...Or at least I hope so.

AI is good at doing a thing once.
Trying to get it to do the same thing the second time is janky and frustrating.

I understand the use of AI as a consulting tool (look at references, make code examples) or for generating template/boilerplate code. You know, things you do once and then develop further upon on your own.

But using it for continuous development of an entire application? Yeah, it's not good enough for that.

Came to Mastodon when Elon nabbed Twitter, came to Lemmy when the Reddit apps got stuffed. (Well, I originally got on Kbin, not Lemmy.)

I've heard a lot of stuff on grapevine about various online services and how cool they are.

And then I visit the home page and it says "Powered by AI. You can be more productive with us. Because we have AI. Did we mention we have AI?"

And I'm, like, well, this service may or may not use AI in a meaningful way, but one thing is certain - they're probably hiking the price, if not now, then soon. Sorry guys, I'm sitting this tech hype cycle out.

a purely financial decision

🤨 ... riiiiiiiiight ...

Remember: even in the most repressive autocracies, the leaders realised that jesters serve a purpose. Because if people can't joke about how shitty things are at the present, they might see that as a sign that things are pretty bad, actually.

If the comedy is mucked with, that's a sure sign that the politicians are getting a tad bit touchy.

I thought you were talking about Crusader Kings III
