>>107698202It's just a tool. Nothing more. Countless of monks had nothing to because Gutenberg. Countless of horse and carriage people had nothing to do thanks to Carl Benz (first modern car) and Nicolaus Otto (Otto engine). Or all the mathematician that were jobless because Konrad Zuse developed the first modern computer language that wasn't math based.AI is just the same, but just a more modern step. And why are so many germans?!
>>107700194>AI is just the same, but just a more modern step.Not really, none of the inventions you mentioned required theft. Gutenburg didn't have to raid monks' libraries and burn millions of books in the process, cars don't run on horse blood, modern computer languages aren't exactly a threat to mathematics either.>But.. but artists "steal" all the time by learning from other artistsFalse and disingenuous equivalency. A human being has rights and is part of a social contract (if such a thing was a problem, it would have been addressed long ago and it has with copyright laws, fair use laws, etc, leading to a balance regarding what's acceptable and what crosses the line). An AI model is a product and calling it learning is like saying a physical hard drive is a brain because it can store and retrieve data (therefore, piracy is actually legal).For the record though I don't care about piracy because the significance of its impact is dwarfed by AI.
“Nothing is original. Steal from anywhere that resonates with inspiration or fuels your imagination. Devour old films, new films, music, books, paintings, photographs, poems, dreams, random conversations, architecture, bridges, street signs, trees, clouds, bodies of water, light and shadows. Select only things to steal from that speak directly to your soul. If you do this, your work (and theft) will be authentic. Authenticity is invaluable; originality is non-existent. And don’t bother concealing your thievery - celebrate it if you feel like it. In any case, always remember what Jean-Luc Godard said: “It’s not where you take things from - it’s where you take them to."
>>107700484He's not talking about AI so the statement doesn't transfer and the analogy completely fails because AI is just a product.

DDG kinda sucks but if you can overlook the outages and the fact it's a bing rewrap, the actual search results are acceptable, don't censor porn and actually try not to track the shit out of you.Add to the mix an AI for searches (not perplexity since I think they jew your data) and it should be fine
can we go back to using RAM as an SSD?
>didn't buy ram when it was cheap>didn't buy silver when it was $15I swear some people don't even want to make it dawg.
>>107696287I used shadowplay for a while until I wanted it to save to my nas. It would always fallback to the default because windows was starting it before connecting to the server. Now I use obs replay buffer which uses memory for the temp file. I have 64GB so it's trivial to let it have 16GB while gaming to have a couple hours of footage.
>>107696332It's not about speed tho, i just like empty, easily accessible volatile drive for temp files
You know, it boggles my mind that we've reached the point where SSDs are as fast as RAM used to be on older machines. It was so gradual that it felt only a numbers game, until you compare it with numbers from, I dunno, a Core 2 Quad era machine.And with DDR6 (and especially DDR7), system memory will have as much or even more bandwidth than high end videocards used to have. IGPUs are now actually viable for gaming too.
>>107696287Makes sense.I always liked the concept of ramdisks.
I can not believe HDDs are still the go to solution for cheap and large storage. Why are cheap 4TB or 8TB SSDs still not a thing? 4TB 50 bucks, 8TB 80 bucks. If we can't have that, we will never say goodbye to HDDs.
>>107699865There is no free market. The NAND cartel will just keep squeezing us.
>>107699865its all relative. some people think $200 is a vast amount of money that they can only dream of.its not, stop beign poor
unreliable as storage medium
>>107699865If hard drives can't compete on speed it only makes sense that they focus on storage, it's not like the companies who make hard drives would just give up trying to make money.
>>107700560This but unironically. I have 12TB of NVMe SSD storage in the computer I'm posting from right now.
Half-venting, half-serious inquiry: why the fuck is Google shadowbanning (shown to only me while logged in, not shown to anyone else or to me while logged out) the following comments. Separate comments on separate lines, all shadowbanned:>About hardware: even back in 2016 I needed 128Gb of RAM to provide a service for my clients on a level that they expected, in 2025 that's a Threadripper with 8x32 and 24Gb of VRAM at minimum.>My company will outperform anyone who has inferior software, hardware, and less efficient pipelines. Outperform on money and on time. Clients expect top end results with a quick turnaround.>Another example, I have 3 large screens because over a year, it's far cheaper for me to buy 2 extra monitors, than to constantly waste time alt+tabbing to view references or communicate, etc.>But nobody would ever need 3 screens because you can do everything with 1 screen also, right? That's the difference between tinkerers and professionals: time = money.(arguing with a faggot saying my shitty thinkpad and opensource toys can do *everything*)Is Google fucking retarded? I haven't been able to converse with anyone for the better part of the last 5 years. The same bullshit, have a casual conversation going (or try to have), then check it while logged out and see that 70% of what I've posted has never appeared publicly. Sometimes the most mundane shit gets autodeleted like: "I wish you happy holidays, mate". At one point I tried to help some guy out by typing only "You can find it by googling *some mundane shit about computing*" aaaand shadowbanned. I may use my phone and an alt account, still the same shit. What in the ungodly fuck is going on? Not a single swearword. Not a single no-no topic. And then there's endless fucking botposts with the same exact spamcontent on every fucking major fagtuber 15 seconds after publishing a video. Oh then they are powerless, nothing they can do. Fuck them with a rusty iron spike. What the fuck is their problem?
>>107695186It's broken AI moderation. My guess is that it removes between 10-30% of all youtube comments posted. It's almost more likely to do that if you have ever posted anything negative on any youtube video, even if the comment you are posting now isn't negative. I've even had this issue when somebody posts a comment on my youtube channel. I cant see the comment normally but I can in youtube studio and there is no option to make the comment visible to everybody, even if I heart the comment.
>>107699947There's another thing where shadowbanned comments only appear in the notification box of the person who it was directed at and to nobody else. When you see 2 people talking with a lot of context missing then they're probably going back and forth through their notification box and you're only seeing less than third of what they're posting.
>>107695422>must of thoughtI can't believe someone dignified a comment as retarded as that one with a reply.
They're using a global AI filter to remove/approve certain comments or put them under "new" instead of "top" which practically hides them for most users. Youtube channels can also put moderation on their comments which can be strict or more lenient. This has been going on for years. Just don't waste too much time shitposting on there. I post for fun every now and then and hope it goes through. Use common sense and avoid slurs or the obvious trigger words.
>>107695270There was never any serious conversation on YouTube. It has always been a cesspit.
FOSS programmers work for free. Why?
>>107698632Wait really? I was told they're paid as much as 4chan janitors.
back in late 2020 I was miserable that GIMP couldn't outline, gloss and bevel text like 90s commercial software. Now I can do all of that effortlessly without breaking a sweat
>>107698632A lot of FOSS programming is done by paid corporate employees.
>>107698632FOSS is like handcrafts that's easy to distribute. I bet there's some hobbyist brewers and carpenters who'd love to share their work for the joy and utility their craft provides for their local community.
>>107699603Yeah just look at the funding for the Linux Foundation. It's big tech companies out the wazoo. Basically any project of decent size in FOSS ends up being funded by huge corpos. "Linux is coded by NEETs working for free" is a trope both Linux haters and some FOSS advocates wish was true (the ones that don't like corpo control), but it's untrue for large parts of FOSS.

>>107695423>I looked for japanese products. Unfortunately, they don't produce anything anymore.They do produce many things but not so much consumer goods anymore. >>107696738Back in the day, Japanese companies made junk and reputation was so bad that companies set up "headquarters" in the Japanese city Usa just so that they could claim it was "Made in Usa" which takes desperation to a new level.They realised that this had no future and invited quality assurance experts such as Deming and Juran to teach them how things should be done. These experts had limited success in the West but Japan was always immune to culture shock and accepted the new wisdom. That is when quality climed out of the garbge tip. Next they built on this and created Tanguchi Method, Kaizen, TPM and more, and Japan started looking like an unstoppable juggernaut. Then they added design for production, design for maintenance, design for recycling and more, which are the reasons why Japanese products could be maintained well. Unfortunately, nothing lasts forever and in the 90s the bubble burst and also quality took a hit.t.former quality auditor
>>107700206Didn't you have to commit sudoku if the Nintendo you manufactured red ringed?
>>107700310No. I did quality auditing in a NATO defence company. It was a great way to become unpopular, bearer of bad news and all that. We had to learn about the field before we could start auditing, and Japan was still a source of knowledge. The US was less interested in quality and I was not surprised to learn from GAO that F-35 had suffered a regression in the radar software suite. And that is far closer to capital offence than a red ring. GAO has also published MTBF info that is rather disturbing. F-35 is a hangar queen that one week into WWIII would all be grounded waiting for spare parts that are no longer on the shelves.
When is the AI bubble going to pop? This is taking too long.
>>107696032I think that's been the case pretty much since the beginning. There was a grace period at the very beginning when it was cool for a normie to draw something without any talent or write a blog post in two minutes. But people quickly realized that it was pointless and that it was actually full of errors and ugly. Literally no normie uses the AI tools available right now; they're only used by tech industries to sell shit sloppa. And the entire industry is artificially kept afloat by microsoft and google.
When investor appetite falls enough that free cash stops flowing into AI labeled startups. For this to happen the people funding the bubble (Enterprise boomers who think ChatGPT is God, Wall Street Finance bro retards, Oil Sheiks, Retail chasing FOMO, Korean pension funds) needs to stop buying equity and credit of AI startups. Once AI startups cannot service their debt, the data centers don't get paid, the data center debt doesn't get paid, forced sales are triggered, nvidia doesn't get paid, oracle can't service their debt, microsoft scales back investment out of caution, same for google, meta defaults on its AI venture debt, panic selling of equity begins, AI related debt is marked to near zero and becomes impossible to refinance, AI startup stakes marked down to zero, their debt becomes worthless, banks mark down their stakes, they are forced to sell, funds get margin called and are forced to sell, Elon buys XAI from his sandnigger investors for cents on the dollar, Altman moves to Israel to give Ted talks, the FED starts quantitative easing. And then we move on to the next grift.

There's something really demonic about contemporary technology and im not even a luddite...
>>107700335>contemporary technologyIt never used to be this way.There was a time when you could buy something and it would work, it wouldn't require over the air updates because they shipped it before it was ready in a desperate grab for more money.The crux of the issue is the "I'm not doing anything wrong" mentality.Each iteration of removing control wasn't met with resistance. It was reward with purchase. Then reinforced with future purchase. I don't care, I don't have anything to hide... X feature doesn't impact me anyway... etc. etc.Fifty or so loops later... here we are. Some folk have notice the noose tightening and are starting to wriggle.As opposed to not standing on the swinging platform to begin with (and paying for the priviledge).
