I ended up going with this. Trying it out on my older laptop, thinkpad t460. To be fair already 1.: Couldn't play mkv file with the default video player, had to get VLC and 2.: When you minimize/maximize tabs it does a weird flicker in the top left corner which is a known bug related to some gnome animation.

This is kind of just funny to me, but really these imperfections are very obvious when you install any kind of linux, some don't have basic video codecs installed. I can get around and fix all of the issues, it's just not a good user experience.

It already has. If anything, it has made art a lot less meaningful. You can't really look at an elaborate piece of artwork anymore without thinking: "Eh... could this have been generated by AI?" instead of "Wow the artists here is really talented!".

Are those little story/blurb text descriptions generated by ChatGPT as well?

While I’m not 100% sure what an “AI upgrade” is, there’s actually a huge and undeniable difference between using text to create an AI image and a photographer, who has taken a photo, using software to edit that photo.

Firstly, it remains to be seen if said users also generate sufficient revenue and not just cost (although it's likely this will happen). Secondly, even if the technology does scale after a while, there's a barrier of entry (computing power of even a starting size does not pay for itself), so it's not just a matter of "copying a few Terabytes of code" like the initial comment suggested.

Screen door effect is already nearly unnoticeable on current headsets.

What, you think that doesn't look like a narwhal? Have you ever even seen a narwhat? No? Then why not trust ChatGPT who has the knowledge of the entire internet at its (virtual) fingertips. I for one trust our emergent AI overlords.

Digital glory hole

Yeah, I just watch a vid of a guy run into a car while driving a motor cycle at high speed. I watch stuff like that on Reddit, but I know what I’m watching and it’s not at random.

Did somebody mention EDM? I feel like this has been going on for years..

Insert siren...

I constantly report disturbing violence against animals and/or graphically sexual content on Facebook, as well as scams, and links to shady porn sites (which probably contain malware type ads). And my reports are almost always ignored. Maybe it really is about the money

If true so what? The US doesn't go after it's tech giants hard enough for it to matter. Even if it's a $10B fine ( which it absolutely will not be) , Google makes more than that per quarter in profit (not revenue, profit!).

The days of any US government holding corporatations to meaningful account has long passed, and every player nationally and internationally knows it.

Man, landlord doesn't allow in apartment dishwasher/washing machine

With the user base it has, that's...like 1c/day per user?

cut down the hype and appreciate what human brain is and isn’t.

in principle our brains are simple, they are just very finely tuned by millions of years of evolution. general AI is close.

Lol that's just not true.

Lmao. Tesla nerds acting as if this was done to make it more affordable and less along the lines that nobody will buy them at the previous rates

Google Play customer support refuses to help me recover the $300 with of movies I lost when I switched My account to a kids account. This was a very important account for us for more reasons than the movies, but apparently I can't transfer purchased content from one account to another and I can't get my pg13 and R movies back. I also can't use our Google devices or sign on to the Gmail on the same device as the parent account (my personal Google account). Any suggestions? Thanks!

LOLLL, who would buy this?

There were subs that were banned for posting death videos and now after Russia attacked Ukraine, suddenly none of those videos that shows death or gore is removed. Reddit is no different from Twitter or Facebook that make money showing such videos.
