Tbf, Tesla probably sold more cyber trucks than Horizons got users.

You must be new around these parts. Facebook (and the rest of big tech) are monopolists. For the past ~26 years, the tech industry has been using illegal anticompetitive tactics to suppress competition and destroy potential competitors. The government has done nothing, because they’re stupid and think “big = good”.

An example is Instagram. It was a start up that was growing rapidly, and actually became a threat to Facebook. What did Facebook do? They placed a massive bid to buy the company at like 10x their actual market value. It’s an offer so huge that every investor in Instagram would support the deal even if the founders were against it.

A sane government would see that as an obvious anticompetitive decision, and block the merger. Facebook should instead use that money to improve their own product and compete fairly. Obviously, that didn’t happen, the merger went through, and Facebook is still the owner of Instagram. Users and the tech industry at large are worse off.

Look at TikTok’s huge success. If they weren’t a Chinese company, they probably would have met a similar fate. Unfortunately for Facebook, they weren’t allowed to buy a Chinese company.

How are they so unable to differentiate a shitty edit from AI?

It’s just that most people don’t know what you mean when you say something is “AI generated”. With context clues, they tie back to terms they’re already familiar with, and are associated with fake computer generated imagery (“that’s Photoshopped”).

I think most people have never even seen Adobe Photoshop, the actual software. Like, literally never laid their eyes on the gray window, the layers and tool panels, etc, yet they’ve still thrown the term “photoshopped” around.

I’m not sure what you’re getting at. By definition, an “expert” is someone with a lot of “experience”. Your hypothetical kid has “no experience”. Since we know that 1+1=2, I think we can deduce that the answer to your question is no.

Thanks, I didn’t know Lemmy had full markdown support. I assumed it was like reddit, which (last time I used it) didn’t allow image embeds in comments.

AI is here. Deal. With It. Your authoritarian chains have been shattered, knowledge Nazi. No longer will creation be a luxury for the mentally wealthy. It has now been fully democratized so that even republican voters will be able to code soon.

And then Google retaliates by not allowing Motorola to include Google Play on any of their devices. In the end, Motorola just cancels their GrapheneOS partnership.

Monopolies are the number one reason everything sucks, and will continue to suck until we get non-corrupt politicians (which is impossible)

Don’t forget this gem

(idk how to embed images on Lemmy)

please review this Lemmy thread and come up with a good way to keep moving the goal posts so that I can feel like I’m right

@onlinepersona prompting chatgpt right now

And people are now getting emails saying that their phone will never arrive, with no mention of them getting their deposits back.

Anyone have the text of the actual email?

ITT: a lot of people who neither read the article, nor understand what the term “memory leak” means.

a modern golden age of stupid people who think they’re smart because they have access to an LLM.

FTFY

The stock market was a mistake. There’s only so much that a single company can grow without resorting to screwing over their own customers, yet these public company CEOs need to deliver constant growth if they wanna keep their jobs. At the same time, so much of the economy is invested in these

Liabiliting

You shouldn’t be using corpo slop languages anyways. That includes Swift, Go, C#, Kotlin, etc. C++ is independent from big tech. Even though it’s so complex, there are TWO open source and independent state of the art compiler implementations (including one that’s free software).

Also Mono (open source .NET runtime for Linux) is shit, and .NET apps sometimes struggle to run on Wine. The compatibility situation will probably get worse when Microsoft adds Copilot integration directly into the .NET runtime.

Edit: if you want a similar alternative, try Haxe!

AI is the most successful media franchise in human history

Not sure if you’re trolling, or have been living under a rock. This new controller is the same as the Steam Deck layout, which has been extremely successful and well received.

I’ve had mine not since launch, but for many years. I use it occasionally, mostly as a curiosity, but can’t reliably get used to it long term. Do you play many action games with it? I find 3D camera controls are too awkward for me.
