u could use an custom bash file that screenshots ur desktops, blurs it, and then sources it as ur lockscreen from a config file, in bash it could go:
#!/usr/bin/env bash
bg=~/.lockscreen.png
grim -o $bg
convert $bg -blur 0x8 $bg
hyprlock
rm $bg
havent tried it yet, but as long as ur sourcing the ~/.lockscreen.png on ur config file, or u launch ur locking program with an argument to use whatever u used as a background (and that way u can use mktmp instead of throwing it on ur home folder) it should work. Just try the commands b4 executing it since i wrote this from my bed on a saturday and my brain is half working.
i just used hyprlock as an example, since u said ur using hyprland, but u can use whatever ofc, I myself use swaylock.
did u just pipe that phrase into bread on penguins and got that youtube video??? /j
im very skeptical of this channel just because of how much it anthropomorphizes AI, it feels propagandistic.
Instead of taking the statistical analysis approach, its easy to rely on the marketing of "AI scary and will kill us and we're not ready" or whatever, like, scifi is cool, but this is not that.
I like this especific explanation on an AI responce to a PR (the whole thread is good in that sense), as to why it says what it says, its a boring and statistical framework, shaped by rules that turn it into a complex machinne.
We as people like to anthropomorphize other things, read into them and see our own reflections, and altho its not bad to have empathy, but thats not always reality, and we need to be weary of how this behaviour can be exploited.
This whole youtube channel is personally off to me, mostly because of the super professional look, how out of the blue it appeared, not knowing anyone from the team that researches any of these topics (maybe i just havent looked into the credits) and how their weariness of AI is the same as the weariness of the companies, which have the interest of selling it (see claudes secret model thats a danger to the world and must not be published).
With the amout of money in AI, i worry its a psyop from some company that want to promote the idea of AGI, so that AI business stays viable for that little bit longer.
End of rant, i hope it made some sense lmao. Fuck IA
