And yet when chatGPT and Dall-e come out everyone drops their shit ready to presume the great all-knowing AI godhead has arrived. Why? Well it suits them as consumers, and that was my point.
I don’t know modern music well enough but it’d be interesting to compare to the weird state music technology has gotten to with synthesisers and digital tooling having completely matured now to the point where a laptop can replace a studio. Anyone advertise “no digital” like Jack White did?
@nickwitha_k balancing things for sure, that’s just craft. But where you lose me is that talking about how CGI is done, how good examples of it are done, and why … is just not mainstream.
Crashing a plane into a building? … everyone wants to talk about it. But no one ATM seems to want to know about all the awesome shit CGI is doing. Bad examples sure, they exist for all aspects of film. Instead people are lying about how much CGI they’re using, when getting it right could be celebrated.
33·8 months agoSorry, just read 14A, sec 5:
> The Congress shall have power to enforce, by appropriate legislation, the provisions of this article.
The decision seems pretty predictable to me then.
In fact it seems that this was never going anywhere and that the provisions are actually pretty weak. If an insurrectionist is popular enough to be a plausible presidential candidate, then they’re not unlikely to have significant support in congress.
31·8 months agoYea. Which touches on the issue of who determines the performance score of an employee and how transparent and inclusive it is.
Who should enforce it then? Seems like exactly the sort of thing a court wouldn’t want to touch so as not to look too political, no?
Unless there’s no way around the fact that the 14th effectively creates a “constitutional crime” within federal courts’ jurisdiction that can be pardoned by a congress super majority, which would have been my intuitive reading.
3·9 months agoIn pretty central … all of them except I think a gas station.
Ha. That’s not what’s going on here.
The suspicion here is more along the lines of whether tech people can be trusted to make good things especially when some special tech idea is at the core. What are the chances that tech people just really like the idea of decentralised federated social media and haven’t really thought through whether it works well at scale?
If they had, there’d be documented analysis of this rather than just advocacy.
It’s probably (very) naive of me, but I hadn’t quite thought that the whole thing is a grift against everyone.
Ads, data tracking, *and* tricking you into ignoring the economy/industry that actually matters in the name of “evolution” and “breaking things”.
Can’t help but see some (stretched) resonance with the #fediverse. Is this just some tech idea that needs to convince all of us that it’s the good new thing? What if at its core there’s something wrong and it fails us?
Worth watching or thinking about this recent related video (post of mine):

Great line in there from Tim about how everyone is now viewed as an Uber driver and how its hard to justify being paid more than one.
@ajsadauskas @fuck_cars hmm I was wrong. That got boosted just fine. And created a new post on fuck cars. Embarrassing.
It was because the posts were unlisted it seems. And this too … confusing.
Sorry for the noise. May delete.
Still not sure why your previous posts were t boosted or appearing on fuck_cars. Because others where also addressed?
@technology @caseynewton
That search/SEO is broken seems to be part of the game plan here.
It’s probably like Russia burning Moscow against Napoleon and a hell of a privilege Google enjoy with their monopoly.
I’ve seen people opt for chatGPT/AI precisely because it’s clean, simple and spam free, because it isn’t Google Search.
And as @caseynewton said … the web is now in managed decline.
For those of us who like it, it’s up to us to build what we need for ourselves. Big tech has moved on
