I’m using Linux on all my pc. The ram problems exist here too. Firefox is taking the most, the slack app is taking a big chunk too. Linux is not exempt from badly written code, it’s everywhere and nobody seems to care about optimizing their code’s memory usage anymore.

Ho ok, my bad, I completely misunderstood the issue then. It seems reasonable to impose a price equivalence on steam key

Most other competitors charge less than steam, but steam has a clause which prevents devs from putting their games cheaper elsewhere. This is the real big shitty move made by valve, otherwise they do mostly everything right. I hope someone challenges this clause in a court of law someday, it looks very monopolistic to me

Yes, I know it has an impact, though not as big as you make it seem, (and so is everything). When you divide it to calculate the personal impact, it is way lower than a huge number of other stuff. I agree that we need to address climate change, but I don’t believe this should be the main focus.

Also, every individual should be able to choose how they spend their “carbon allocation”, personally, I don’t eat meat, I never take the plane, I don’t own a car and do everything using bike and trains, my house is carbon negative (building it actually had a negative carbon footprint) which was a huge sacrifice I had to compromise getting a way way smaller house for way more debt than if I had built a cheap standard house (and of course I’m in debt for decade). LLM makes me more efficient at my job so I think I can afford the carbon footprint that comes with it which, as I said, is not as big per individual as you make it appear.

I understand that hanging on Lemmy makes it seem like AI/LLM is the worse thing that has happened to mankind, but it’s really not, there are lots of issues with it, sure. But there is worse stuff to worry about.

I want to finish by saying that I DO support your action to minimize its impact, what you are doing overall is important and necessary, but I think you should revise the individual argument you put up against LLM, cause this one is not great.

I agree, cursor and other IDE integration have been a game changer. It made it way easier for a certain range of problems we used to have in software dev. And for every easy code, like prototyping, or inconsequential testing, it’s so so fast. What I found is that, it is particularly efficient at helping you do stuff you would have been able to do alone, and are able to check once it’s done. Need to be careful when asking stuff you aren’t familiar with though, cause it will comfortably lead you toward a mistake that will waste your time.

Though one thing I have to say: I’m very annoyed by it’s constant agreeing with what I say, and enabling me when I’m doing dumb shit. I wish it would challenge me more and tell me when I’m an idiot.

“Yes you are totally right”, “This is a very common issue that everybody has”, “What a great and insightful question”… I’m so tired of this BS.

I get the sentiment behind this post, and it’s almost always funny when LLM are such dumbass. But this is not a good argument against the technology. It is akin to climate change denier using the argument: “look! It snowed today, climate change is so dumb huh ?”

Crazy how much humidity changes the color

I find it hilarious that most people in this thread are complaining about being called a “something vegan”, like I can understand not being happy with the current AI trend, but it seems like the word “vegan” is what makes everyone ticks, it’s NOT an insult, the “normal” vegan are very happy to be called like that, because what it refers too is something that they agree and identify with. If you agree and identify yourself with what those journalist are calling “AI vegans”, the name doesn’t matter, embrace it, call yourself that to easily express what you believe about AI.

Vegan is not an insult, it is a compliment.

Nobody ever reads articles, everybody likes to get angry at headlines, which they wrongly interpret the way it best tickles their rage.

Regarding the ruling, I agree with you that it’s a good thing, in my opinion it makes a lot of sense to allow fair use in this case

Haaa, finally !! An AI taxi that behaves like a normal taxi driver. It must feel so refreshing.

I’m not aware of the exact motivations of all the actors. What follows are my guesses.

My guess would be that

• Some député want to protect children from the most dangerous types of porn (which I can hear on some level, porn can be addictive for some people and can lead to negative behaviour, children are always more sensitive).
• Some probably think that all porn is bad and want to prevent anyone from consuming it, this would only be a first step for those.
• Some definitely want to be able to spy on everyone and use this as an excuse to further reduce privacy and freedom

You might not be aware depending where you are from, but France is on a slippery slope towards Fascism, the far right is gaining more power every day, a lot of people think it is very plausible that a far right president is elected on the next election (2027), along with a parliament’s majority.

These are comics, often with a nsfw gag, it’s safe to click on, it’s very mild.

Yes, there are. But you misunderstood the news: France didn’t block pornhub, pornhub blocked France as a protest against a new law.

You misunderstand, France didn’t block pornhub, pornhub blocked France.

It is to protest against a new law requiring porn site to verify the users age. Which they argue will have dire consequences for security and privacy (I fully agree about the danger)

Had the same experience, almost exactly.

You can call me ‘silly’ if you want, I’ve been called worse :-D

Does it matter that a position is mainstream for defending it ? I haven’t taken any “sides” on the AI topic in this thread, just stated my opinions regarding the subject of intellectual property, which is very inconsequential, furthermore we are on lemmy, that is not mainstream either. Do we have to “take side” and be split on every topic, tribally defending our “side”, because the other side are obviously idiots ?
