He goes into the details of the most upvoted Google Gemini fails and then branches out to how text/image/audio generative AI is being used on Facebook, Instagram to inflate traffic, as well as how you can actually earn some income by farming reactions on twitter now (with the blue checkmark).

There’s a section on how adobe is selling AI generated images with their stock photos, but you can tell this video might be a little rushed because he comes to the conclusion that people are paying $80 for one of these images, when in reality the $80 adobe plan gives you 40 images (so about $2 per stock image). That or he knows this statement is misleading, but makes it anyway because it will drive his own reactions up (oh the irony). https://web.archive.org/web/20240701131247/https://stock.adobe.com/plans

With adobe he touches on their updated ToS that state how any images uploaded to Adobe can be used to train their own generative image model.

The Netflix section talks about the “What Jennifer Did” documentary which used AI generated images and passed them off as real (or at least didn’t mention that the images were fake).

Spotify: How audio generative AI is being used to create music and is being published on there now as well as their failed

Edit: as well as their failed “projects/features” (car accessory, exclusive podcasts, etc.)

Multiple times throughout the video he pushes the theory that most of these companies are also using AI generated content to drive engagement on their own site (or to earn income without needing to pay any artists).

He definitely focuses only on the worst ways that generative AI can be used without touching on any realistic takes from the other side (just the extreme takes from the other side with statements like “AI music will replace the soulless crappy music that’s being released now… and it will be better and have more soul!”).

Still worth a watch, he brings up a ton of valid points about the market being oversaturated with AI generated products.

I don’t think you can add any extra text when crossposting with Lemmy, but I’m not sure what instances like kbin allow.

Either way, I would expect that treating it the same way that the browser view currently does would be a good start for this specific case.

Is this how we want it to work though?

There’s a lot of context missing on one post, while it’s visible on the other. And this isn’t a problem when viewing these posts through a browser instead of Voyager.

That GitHub “archive here” link leads to a page where it hasn’t been archived… (or was the archive removed??).

They expanded the initial recall. It affects models from 2017 to 2022. If you read the linked article I previously provided, then you missed the key point that vehicles were still bursting into flames even after the recall.

Expanded recall: https://gmauthority.com/blog/2021/09/gm-asking-chevy-bolt-ev-owners-to-park-50-feet-away-from-other-vehicles/

GM stopped replacing the batteries of the newer models and instead offered a software solution that would monitor the batteries for any issues and allow the vehicle to charge beyond the 80% limit that they had set because of these issues. https://electrek.co/2023/06/14/bolt-battery-recall-diagnostics/

But it’s worth noting that this software update has failed to prevent some fires, so the problem isn’t really “fixed” even with this: https://electrek.co/2021/07/08/chevy-bolt-ev-catches-on-fire-after-receiving-both-of-gm-software-fixes/

I would avoid used Bolts, especially because of all the issues those have had with going up in flames.

Hopefully they’ve fixed those issues in the newest models…

I agree with others on here. Looks like a European Starling.

Here’s a similar looking one that was identified in North America:

I would recommend a tool like iNaturalist for trying to identify birds (and plants, insects, other animals, droppings, tracks, etc).

Hiding “/s” in a spoiler tag is a bit more satire friendly.

In some cases seeing it upfront gives away the fact that you’re not serious a little too quickly and doesn’t have the same “got ya” effect that some people want.

It’s not necessary by any means, but it can be fun to add that extra layer sometimes.

As far as what happens specifically on Lemmy, it looks something like this:

Spoiler hidden:

Spoiler shown:

Hi! Yeah, probably a timing thing. I used a spoiler tag yesterday and a user mentioned that it didn’t work for them. Turns out it’s a known issue for Boost users, so that was fresh on my mind.

Some Lemmy applications don’t display it well (like Boost).

It works fine through a browser or Voyager.

Edit:typo

I think I was thrown off by the “trackpad” example that was given above. That would have been a bit more complex than just a simple button press (which is still doable in low level firmware) but I was curious how they would pull it off.

I looked up what “solid state buttons” are and it makes a lot more sense now. This isn’t like some trackpad you can swipe along the endge, they’re still buttons in separate locations, just not in the mechanical clicking sense that we’re used to.

You could also use something like GrayJay, I’ve been using it for a while now and haven’t had any issues with it.

despite the fact that hosting images is orders of magnitude less bandwith and storage requiring than videos.

In general, yes, when comparing images/video of the same resolution. But if I compare an 8k image to a low quality video with low FPS, I can easily get a few minutes worth of video compared to that one picture.

As you said, it definitely costs money to keep these services running. What’s also important is how well they are able to compress the video/images into a smaller size without losing out on too much quality.

Additionally, with the way ML models have made their way into frame generation (such as DLSS) I wouldn’t be surprised if we start seeing a new compressed format that removes frames from a video (if they haven’t started doing it already).

My one concern is, what do I do if the phone freezes up?
With physical buttons there is a hardware bypass so I can force the phone to reset.
With a “trackpad” I’m not as confident it will register those touches correctly when the OS has seized up.
I’m assuming they’ll have something figured out at the hardware level, but I’m curious what that will be.

It’s not just tap water, it’s also the non-stick coating on a large number of pans (including Hex Clad which is one of the more expensive sets).

Well, now’s a great time to let them know about Pixelfed, although explosive growth like this will be a strain on any website.

Getting away from Google Maps has been a tough one. There aren’t many options there, it’s either Google, Apple, Microsoft, or OpenStreetMap.

I’ve been contributing to OSM for my local area as much as possible to update businesses and their opening hours, website, etc., but it’s not a small task.

SD? SD 3? The weights? All the above?

Stable Diffusion is an open source image generating machine learning model (similar to Midjourney).

Stable Diffusion 3 is the next major version of the model and, in a lot of ways, it looks better to work with than what we currently have. However, up until recently we were wondering if we would even get the model since Stability AI ran out of funding and they’re in the midst of being sold off.

The “weights” refer to the values that make up the neural network. Basically by releasing the weights they are essentially saying that they are making the model open-source so that the community can retrain/fine-tune the model as much as we want.

They made a wait list for those who are interested in getting notified once the model is released, and they turned it into a pun by calling it a “weights list”.

Correction: “Weight List” ;)
