You've got a great point there, actually

That's what I suspect, too, but I'm not entirely sure in my research so far. The question I am still unsure about: Is it as costly in running, or is the real costly part "just" the "training our model" part? I wondered that, because when I was messing around, things like generative text models could run on my potato PC with a bit of python scripting without too much issue, even if not ideally - as long as I had the already trained dataset downloaded.
Oh, wow, another book for the reading list :O
Am surprised that I genuinely hadn't heard of him, just highlights the point the article is making.
I think it will hinge on one thing: Will AI provide an experience that is maybe worse, but still sufficient to keep the market share, at lower cost than putting in the proper effort? If so, it might still become a tragic "success"-story.
Ah, sad, thank you for researching! Here's hoping it will come back in some form.
Fun fact: The designer almost went with "Cool Centrist Clicker", they have a devlog about it.
Oooh, wait, that isn't how it works in other programs? I really like that behaviour in GIMP to be perfectly honest, have used it in editing stuff deliberately.
I actually smiled and laughed when I first saw that it was a huge trend, considering all the gary's mod and SFM stuff, especially TF2 videos, I adored myself as a teen/young adult. Made me feel less old seeing that there's still life in the meme format.
I grew up in the 90’s wallpapers aren’t supposed to be fun
I, and my child self fooling around in Windows 3.11 back in the day, beg to differ.
I was, and am, skeptical, but I also must admit, the potential breakthrough is teasing my psyche with that feeling of just wanting it to be real. A part of me hopes that maybe it will still end up confirmed by other peers, but, granted, it was a low chance even when the news first came out.
I can at least anecdotally confirm this isn't just a US issue either. Here in Germany, I met a guy at a psychiatric clinic as a fellow patient with a very similar story (in this case working in logistics, not construction, but also in a position requiring hard manual labour).
His German wasn't all that good, so that made exploiting him easier - and while his medical bills were covered and he in theory had the legal rights to have his de-facto disability from work recognized, his work environment and pressure had made him ignore his own health and rights out of fear of not being able to support his ex-wife and children, who were everything to him. He had also internalised that his self-worth stems from his superior work ethics. In the end, the bosses/owners of his medium-small employer downsized heavily and pocketed a lot of money, but with no way to prove any illegal stuff going on in the process easily. He was dropped because he couldn't work as self-destructively any more with his chronic injuries/issues. That broke him.
This social dynamic is appaling and probably very universal in the majority of the world.
