You get out ahead of the locomotive knowing that most of the directions you go aren’t going to pan out. The point is that the guy who happens to pick correctly will win big by getting out there first. Nothing wrong with making the attempt and getting it wrong, as long as you factored that risk in (as McDonalds’ seems to have done given that this hasn’t harmed them).

Training an AI on something doesn’t involve copying it.

And under copyleft licensing, they’re allowed to do that. Both to GitHub repositories and Wikipedia.

Why would that matter? You can fork such projects too.

If you want to argue that Lemmy doesn’t represent users at large, or that the people complaining about AI are a loud minority, go for it.

Yes, that’s exactly what I’m doing. Though specifically this community, not Lemmy as a whole (I’m not a Lemmy user myself for that matter).

Of course it is! We are simultaneously facing a labor shortage and mass unemployment. The important thing is to keep being angry and frightened, the specific subject you’re angry about at any given time is flexible.

You made an assertion about what end users want. I’m an end user and my desires are not the same as your desires.

But if the sentiment is that common, maybe there’s something to it.

Or maybe it’s just a common fallacy. Like argumentum ad populum.

My advice against getting too deeply invested applies to those companies and communities as well.

FTX was a cryptocurrency exchange, how is that remotely similar to NVIDIA?

Can you remind me how those technologies are related, other than the mere accusation of them being “buzzwords”?

Cryptocurrency is actually doing fine, BTW. Just because you don’t find it useful doesn’t mean it’s not useful to other people.

I am an end user and I find it quite handy for a number of applications.

The reasoning “I don’t find it useful and therefore nobody finds it useful” is common in these sorts of threads.

How long does AI need to be used, and how much demand needs to be sustained, for it to stop being called a “buzzword”? I’m a little dubious that NVIDIA became literally the most highly-valued company on Earth off the back of a mere “buzzword.”

I once got permabanned from a politics subreddit (I think it was /r/canadapolitics) that had a “downvoting is not permitted” rule, because there was a guy getting downvotes and I offered him an explanation for why I thought he was getting them. That counted as evidence that I had downvoted him, I guess.

My response: I sent one message to the mods that was essentially “really?” And then when there was no response I unsubbed from that subreddit and moved on. I see no point in participating in subreddits with ridiculous rules and ridiculous enforcement.

Granted, unsubbing from politics subreddits is generally a good idea even when not banned. But eh.

The only other subreddit I’m banned in is /r/artisthate, which I never visited in the first place. Apparently they scan other subreddits for signs of users who don’t hate artificial intelligence enough and preemptively ban them. That was kind of hilarious.

Anyway, I guess my advice is don’t get too deeply “invested” in a community that can be so easily and arbitrarily taken away from you in the first place. And also manage your passwords better.

Why not both? A large project like this needs to fix bugs and also continue to refine its features for long term relevance.

A car window is a lot easier to shatter than a fighter jet canopy.

Or, climb into the front seat and open the front door.

Of course, because music belongs to the Record Labels. How dare it be made without their consent (and a cut being paid).

It’s not your first option in an emergency. Normally you just open the door. Breaking the glass is several layers of things-not-working deep.

It doesn’t look hidden to me, I expect I’d probably use that by accident myself.
