We apologize for the inconvenience, but at your level of subscription, you only have access to stock photos from 2012 or earlier...

No one. It's a giant "plausible deniability" cluster-fuck.

It's 'blaming the dog for farting' writ large and in the service of billionaires.

My favourite thing to do is to order a bowl of spaghetti in a restaurant, and then loudly take credit for making it because I instructed the chef to add more garlic. After all, the Chef is just a tool that I used to make that spaghetti.

No one exists except me. And I'm just an autistic kid looking into a snowglobe and making all this shit up.

I tend to think that the pro AI people are of a younger generation, because if they were closer to Gen X, they'd be feeling betrayed rather than excited.

Gen X and Millenials built the internet. We populated it with our forums, our blogs, our facbook profiles. We were the first ones sharing our photos, our very lives, with all of our friends and family. We created what it would become and we trusted that it was a community resource. Then along comes a couple of billionaires, they suck up everything that you have built and then have the balls to charge you an entry fee!

It's like if you and your neighbourhood all got together and decided to build a playground for your kids, and when it's done, some asshole asks the city for the right to the land and puts a toll booth up.

More than any other concern, THAT betrayal is what pisses me off the most. How fucking dare they say that I have to pay to access a system that was built on community content. They can fuck themselves sideways with a rusty sledge hammer.

Using AI to double check your code is very different from using AI to replace your skilled creative talent on a motion picture. It's not even an accurate comparison.. GL isn't talking about coding, he's talking about visual effects, writers, even actors...all of whom who's careers are at risk.

You want to use AI to make sure you didn't miss a semicolon at the end of a line, great...knock yourself out. But that has literally nothing in common with what Lucas is blathering about here.

Of course he did. He loves updating his classics every time some "new technology" comes along to let his freak-flag fly.

We'll be seeing a re-re-re-re-release of A New Hope shortly where he uses an AI generated Boba Fett and Solo giving them a scene or two to develop a backstory.

100%. I've been saying it for years that at the end of the day, the only punishment that actually works is the public shaming.

Bring back the public perp walks. March the criminal through the streets with a big banner announcing their crime, and then leave them them in a public cell in the middle of town for a few days with their name on it, their crime, and no privacy so that people can come and see them.

A few days of that will do more to cure recidivism than any jail you can name.

And they should be.

What's to stop them from just going a generation back and using DDR4 instead of DDR5.

There is no one who can convince me that it makes any noticeable difference anyway. When I was putting together a new/used desktop I specifically looked for DDR4 for precisely that reason and I would take any bet that a performance hit would be measured in numbers too small for any user to even notice.

Constantly needing newer hardware with only fractional improvements is the biggest scam in tech. They took their lesson from Apple and Samsung.
