I think it was the Teal for me last year, it just clashed horribly with the orange.
The chrome wheels at least look pretty decent in motion. Definitely super ugly stationary though
That it is
Hopefully the T-Cam will be easy enough to distinguish them
I actually don’t hate this one. Major improvement over last year imo
I spent the day outside in Snoqualmie, it is bitterly cold out there, and the wind chill makes it so much worse.
Days like today remind me why I don’t live in the MidWest
Because it’s objectively not true. Humans and ML models fundamentally process information differently and cannot be compared. A model doesn’t “read a book” or “absorb information”
I’m well aware of how machine learning works. I did 90% of the work for a degree in exactly it. I’ve written semi-basic neural networks from scratch, and am familiar with terminology around training and how the process works.
Humans learn, process, and most importantly, transform data in a different manner than machines. The sum totality of the human existence each individual goes through means there is a transformation based on that existence that can’t be replicated by machines.
A human can replicate other styles, as you show with your example, but that doesn’t mean that is the total extent of new creation. It’s been proven in many cases that civilizations create art in isolation, not needing to draw from any previous art to create new ideas. That’s the human element that can’t be replicated in anything less than true General AI with real intelligence.
Machine Learning models such as the LLMs/GenerativeAI of today are statistically based on what it has seen before. While it doesn’t store the data, it does often replicate it in its outputs. That shows that the models that exist now are not creating new ideas, rather mixing up what they already have.
I mean we’ve seen it work multiple times against Apple where a smaller company has been able to enforce their patent against them.
Cyberpunk 2077 had a whole giant plot point that the old net was overtaken by rough AIs and the AI wars were a thing.
I’m not sure they’re that far off base
It’s theft.
You can steal all you want, but it’s still theft. Piracy is theft, stealing data to be used as training data is theft.
Not everyone wants their creations to be infinitely shared beyond their control. If someone creates something, they’re entitled to absolute control over it.
Honestly, yes. I’m ok with that. People are not entitled to be able to do anything they want with someone else’s IP. 90 years is almost reasonable. Cut it in half and I’d also consider it fairly reasonable.
I’m all for expanding copyright for individuals and small companies (small media companies, photographers who are incorporated, artists who make money based on commissions, etc) and reducing it for mega corps, but there’s an extremely fine line around that.
They’re screwed less than they would be if copyright was abolished. It’s not a perfect system by far, but over restrictive is 100x better than an open system of stealing from others.
The thing is, I don’t want those replaced by a headset. I have a total of 5 monitors on my home setup, and I can’t see a reason to replace any of them. Especially with a headset that’s likely going to be uncomfortable, heavy and isolating. I just can’t see any case where a headset could be even remotely close to preferable.
A recliner would probably decrease my enjoyment of the setup anyways, as I much prefer a physical desk, chair and monitors.
