No one gives a shit if a game or program is 99% AI code, but if any part of the front end is touched by AI it's time to riot.Far more people's jobs are at risk from AI language related tasks but the entire anti ai movement is based on shitty twitter artists doodles

>>107678768You can tell an image seems like AI from a look. You only realize vibe code when it breaks, like how Microsoft keeps breaking their OS.Plus image gen AI slop makers spam their stuff non stop where people can see it while the back end is, like always, in the back end and unseen.

>>107683371Copying it word for word and then presenting the information as your own is plagiarism (if you whip text straight from Wikipedia without providing Wikipedia as a source, then teachers basically consider that lying by omission). Taking existing information and rewording it in your own words, source or not, is not plagiarism. By your logic, any artist that has ever been inspired by someone else's style is "stealing" because they didn't give them credit for the inspiration
>>107683467>why are we comparing machines to humans in a discussion about machine generated content vs human generated contentDid you get lost while scrolling or something? Learning a skill is not the same as running an algorithm through a computer. Even if you learned to draw with the goal of copying someone else's style entirely, your works are still your own as a result of your imagination. Machine learning can't function without transforming what it's trained on.

your problem is thinking in terms of direct alternatives. e.g. an "alternative facebook", rather than looking at the problem from a much higher level.4chan is an alternative facebook, writing a novel using a typewriter is an alternative facebook, standing on a bridge and jerking off is an alternative facebook. why? because the fundamental purpose of all of these things is to occupy your attention. there are 24 hours in a day. instead of asking: how can i re-implement x or y bullshit but MY way, ask: what isn't already being done, has existing demand or is likely to find itself in-demand if you commit to it, and is within your capabilities to deliver. this sounds high-and-mighty but can be as trivial as "a neocities blog where i share 4chan posts i enjoyed every friday"you're not going to get 8 billion people looking at that, but you might get 30 or 300.an obsession with technical competence is one of the many blind alleyways these sorts of things usually go down. another is attempting to go cold turkey on the centralized web instead of utilizing it, as minimally as possible, to try to funnel people elsewhere. it's no great sin to use discord if you can use it to funnel people onto another site or into a game or whatever, and it can be a great sin to use matrix (as one or two small/mid tier imageboards have found when their entire userbase hopped over to vegan discord to the detriment of the board.)as lame as it sounds: you have to like people. it is deeply uncool, but you have to recognize that the problem with the centralized web is a technological one and a sociological one, but not a human one. it is entirely possible to have 8 billion people online in a better way than this.

>>107681786thanks man. just woke up. im sick and fuckin tired of people complaining about web20 and how much soul it had when it was shit, and having no power or way to fight back against big tech or turn the internet back into cyberspacewasn't aware of the cyberpunk general, I propose we link there in the op and maybe to the thinkpad general too
>>107679116Replying because this is an interesting thread. OP, I think you’re discounting the recent quality of self-hosted services and the power of consumer technology. It’s a common mindset to think that advancements in information technology happen in linear paradigm shifts where there’s a shiny new thing that will completely change the world (currently we are on AI but it was previously things like Web3, Big Data, etc). From my observations, it seems more like the biggest gains in information technology happen laterally: first there were few computers, now there are many computers; first only a few people had access to the internet and now many people do. I think the next “step” is we go from an Internet to many “internets.” Note I’m not advocating for something like I2P, but connected Intranets. It’s trivial to do something like self-host an entire copy of Wikipedia and put it behind a VPN, and then have your buddies connect to it. Maybe host mirrors of other websites and run a small search engine too. Since the network is gated, you don’t have to worry about AI, or shitposters or whatever. Making a small local search engine to test this concept has been on my TODO list for a while, just haven’t gotten around to it yet.> The only reason normies and tards are dreamgazing at yesteryear's cyberspace is solely due to how shit our modern one is.I don’t think there’s anything inherently wrong with Web2.0. The issues arose from companies and outside organizations that have interests that conflict with the average user. In terms of QOL, I’d say sensibilities have gotten better and computers are faster. I see no reason why we couldn’t return to a simpler web and retain both aesthetics and functionality.

>>107683538>is a hard one to understand* in retrospect, i mean. i for one loved win95, but i can't speak for everyone since i was young when it came out so only briefly used 3.1 before moving to 95. like i hadn't spent years getting comfortable in 3.1 before trying 95
>>107683538>was like the one time in windows history where upgrading was nothing but advantageswell besides perhaps moving to NT, like 98SE > 2k, or if you were a bad enough dude, 95 > NT4
>>107683553>* in retrospectWhen you think about it, that's the bottom line. The advantages of new OSs are only recognised in retrospect - in the moment, all the end-user sees is "this is slower and more bloated than DOS/Windows/OS/2/macOS n-1".For example, you needed new apps to take advantage of most of the Win95 features - someone running Windows 3.x programs got almost none of the advantages you've listed so far.
>>107683586This. It's why Windows Vista was hated, yet Windows 7 (which we've had 10/11 feature updates that contained more improvements) was so loved.

>>107683490Faking GPS data is easy, even without rooting the phone you can broadcast fake NMEA sentences and cell tower ids with an SDR radio.
>>107683547Apps can easily tell when the gps is spoofed, like, try running pokemon go without getting banned for spoofing the gps and tell me how it goes.
>>107682995Not everywhere is inner city Detroit. Lots of homes are in low crime, high trust areas where random people don't show up at your house to peer through the door while casing the place. For that house, I'm willing to bet all of the bedrooms are on the second floor, which can't be seen from the front door.
>>107683585Yes, there are many ways to reduce the likeliness of fooling the app. For games, it's worth investing the time to do so. For food delivery apps, they're not going to invest the resources to do so, preferring for the customer to report the situation instead. It's bad customer service but these companies are all about controlling IT expenses.
>>107683602Yet you cannot post a single example of said fake gps data not being caught, you're just talking on hypotheticals.

>>107680850You see, the maintainers, for the most part, are against that political shit, they even called out the nigger who made the PR saying that Nixpkgs have nothing to do with personal beliefs.The reason that PR got merged was simply because that language server was deprecated by another one, not because it was fascist.Also, look how many thumbs up and thumbs down each response gets, that says a lot about the average Nix user. I'm not even a Nixfag, I'm a Guixfag, and, like you, I also hate politics being shoved down my throat in software domain.Yeah, we have a lot of trannies trying to destroy the Nix project, but they're just a loud minority, most of the Nix users seem to be normal people that only want to get shit done.
