Windows 12 is scheduled to release before Windows 10 goes EOL. At this point, those who haven’t switched are better off just waiting to see if 12 is decent or it’s shittier than 11. If it’s the latter, it might be time to finally ditch Windows on my gaming PC.

“We tried asking. We tried begging. We tried bullying. We even tried tricking people into upgrading. We tried everything short of actually making a usable OS!”

Yep, exactly.

As a doctor who’s into tech, before we implemented something like AI-assisted diagnostics, we’d have to consider what the laziest/least educated/most tired/most rushed doctor would do. The tools would have to be very carefully implemented such that the doctor is using the tool to make good decisions, not harmful ones.

The last thing you want to do is have a doctor blindly approve an inappropriate order suggested by an AI without applying critical thinking and causing harm to a real person because the machine generated a factually incorrect output.

This will age well.

You will also become a social outcast if peertube is the only app you use. You might not understand channels people mention in day to day talk from youtube or references.

We must be in different generations. The only time my peers ever mention YouTube is when they’re directly sharing a specific video. No one ever talks about following channels.

The Godfather Part III

At the crux of the author’s lawsuit is the argument that OpenAI is ruthlessly mining their material to create “derivative works” that will “replace the very writings it copied.”

The authors shoot down OpenAI’s excuse that “substantial similarity is a mandatory feature of all copyright-infringement claims,” calling it “flat wrong.”

Goodbye Star Wars, Avatar, Tarantino’s entire filmography, every slasher film since 1974…

The tools would be integrated into things we already use.

I’m a doctor, and our EMR is planning to start piloting generative text for replies to patient messages later this year. These would be fairly informal and don’t need to be super medically rigorous, needing just a quick review to make sure the AI doesn’t give dangerous advice.

However, at some point AI may be used in clinical support, where it may offer suggestions on diagnoses, tests, and/or medications. And here, we would need a much higher standard of evidence and reproducibility of results as relying on a bad medical decision here could lead to serious harm.

These are already in two different sections of the medical chart (inbox vs. encounter, respectively) and these would likely be two separate tools with two separate contexts. I would not need to memorize two tools to use the software: in my inbox, I’ll have my inbox tools, and in my encounter, I’ll have my encounter tools, without worrying about exactly what AI implementation is being used in the background.

Why would we want one? We don’t have a single social media tool: forums, link aggregators, micro blogging, networking, etc. are all separate tools. We wouldn’t want to do all of those on Facebook.

ChatGPT is just a demo of a technology that can be used for all sorts of cool things. Trying to make ChatGPT do it all isn’t really needed nor desirable.

Yep, makes sense. You don’t want a researcher using the same tool as a lawyer or fiction writer. The researcher needs AI to summarize existing literate in a factual way, the lawyer needs to source actual cases, while the writer needs novel combinations of existing literary ideas. A single tool isn’t going to meet all those needs.

Cool. I never use either so…

Well it’s not funny satire, or witty satire, or satire that adds any sort of meaningful commentary. It’s just bad.

My rule is the first bullshit to popup I flip to reader mode. If it doesn’t display in reader mode, it’s wasting my time, time to close.

Like Lemmy, except with ads, and only one instance, so you can’t defederate if the owners are being asshats.

External hard drive is probably the cheapest/easiest solution. You can also try a cloud service like dropbox, Google Drive, etc.

You can always contact Traktor and ask them to release a linux version.

2024 is the year of the linux desktop!

3 months ago: Everyone’s going to lose their jobs!

Today: Generative AI’s dead!

More realistically: Generative AI is a tool that will gradually get better over time. It is not universally applicable, but it does have a lot of potential applications. It is not going to take over the world, nor will it just suddenly go away.
