No every single person on the road and all USA taxpayers are being forced to be Guinea pig beta testers, despite not opting into this disaster using untrained drivers to try untested buggy technology in a 2-ton hunk of metal that can kill people

Ok but see why my example of photography in particular applies here.

A photographer can use a specific camera with a specific lens, specific camera settings, shutter speed, film stock etc. They can photograph a specific city skyline from a specific angle and distance and elevation at a certain time of day/night with specific weather and visibility etc. They could then take a unique picture.

The photographer has made all of those creative choices and hardware selection to compose the shot, which is a primary argument as to why a photograph is copyrightable and art.

The exact same photographer could also use a popular imaging-creation AI, and almost perfectly re-create the real photograph they took via AI by carefully using all of those same exact creative choices down to the lens type, in the software prompt.

So the same person would have created a nearly identical image from two different methods. Yet one is currently copyrightable and one is not - despite the same creator putting the same effort and knowledge into composing both versions of the final image.

I've heard my local Walmart has this on anyone that goes in, they allegedly, track every single thing you do, I hate it but there's some things I can't get quick unless I go there

They still are. But they were for two years, too.

baby driver had it too

Why would AI art care? We are witnessing the death of copyright, not AI art.

No, because you should learn how to spell without any external assistance. Just like how kids learn to do basic math on their own.

What? If anything this sub has a hate boner against Apple. You'd expect better from people who supposedly like technology, but nooope.

It'S a FaSHIon BrAnD

> spellcheckers should not be used by students

Because you won't have a spell checker in your pocket at all times in the real life...

'conservative' lol

IT is so low priority it’s sickening. I left corporate IT a couple years ago to start my own shop but I failed because nobody will pay me enough for the work I do. They try to become your friend and then expect you to do free work for endless hours while paying half or a quarter of your invoice. If you walk in the door you get hit by 20 crying minions begging you to fix everything under the sun and by the time you get to the work you are there for you are burnt out already cause you know it was all for free. I love IT and been building systems since 1977 but it’s one of the worst jobs there is in corporate America. Thankless and you are blamed for everything under the sun plus all the fake friends you make along the way. People suck.

Simultaneously Musk complains that the term "recall" should be changed because he thinks it is misleading when the fix is a software update.

Whenever I walk around downtown Madison wi at night the police have used drones to follow my movements many times. Lolol I don’t care tho, I jus keep doin my thang. It’s amazing what too much time and money can do to bored people with badges… I saw a drone following my movements during the BLM protests in Madison WI, and multiple times on other occasions. I actually first saw a drone in 2006 in Colorado at the National Rainbow gathering. That was far out. I thought it was a UFO in the distance but could zero in on it and see it was a drone. I have 20/13 vision so I could see it moving over the tree line from what seemed like over 2 miles away… anyone whose ever participated in as much civil disobedience actions as I have know that drones are the norm. They have been in use against civilian dissidents for a decade plus. Nothing new to anyone that has experienced the subjugation of the state apparatus… lololol

thank god. we were all worried the US was gonna stop the unchecked killing of black and brown people in mineral rich countries in order to pillage them under false pretences of spreading democracy.. but no, they r still at it. carry on.

Hopefully whoever was in charge of those systems didn't have tiktok on their government issued phones.

I think it's about the world of difference between someone dedicating a sizable portion of their life to perfecting their craft and someone else spending a few minutes typing in a prompt with the inclusion of "in the style of ____"

It's worth making a distinction between a human interpretation vs. that of a computer because of the sheer sacrifice that goes into the work.

I'm not an artist, but I sympathize with what dedicated artists are dealing with right now.

Ice T: Wait, are you trying to say this overblown robot English teacher is giving over everything creepy you say to a billion-dollar company and those freaks are using it to make MORE money?

Yeap, you're on a list.

This is a failure by Congress mostly to not fund and prioritize IT security. The US nuke labs get their computers hammered all of the time by outside actors but you never hear about breaches there. OPM, not so much. Why? Someone at OPM probably asked about IT security at one point and Congress basically said 'Nah, there ain't no money for that and what do you need it for anyway?'. Source: have worked for nuke labs.

Hands are fixed already! It's a brave new world! Don't trust anything you didn't see in person!

Unless they work for Bing
