For NASA, data types don't matter when you're programming Voyager 1 and 45 years later it gets hit by an energy burst causing 3% of the RAM to become unusable, and it's transmitting gibberish. It's awesome they were able to recover it.

This still isn't specific enough to specify exactly what the computer will do. There are an infinite number of python programs that could print Hello World in the terminal.

What the "middle class" can afford has changed quite a bit in the last few decades. Owning a home is arguably "upper class" at this point. The median US income was only $80k in 2023. Pentions are also getting increasingly rare. What used to be considered middle class is now struggling to get by. Middle class is defined by the income of the middle third of the population, not by a particular lifestyle.

Idk, I kind of like knowing how many layers of clothes I need to put on before I leave the house. Especially when the wind chill can make it feel like another -10°C pretty easily.

I agree with this, but I don't think we'll ever be able to have that again. AI slop is drowning out all the genuine content regardless of monetization. What's the incentive to put hours of effort into something if nobody will ever see it because every hour another 1000 AI versions were generated and they're all "close enough" to fool someone not paying attention?

I'm not sure Sam Altman even knows what labor is.

I've seen pretty much the same thing happening in the programming space. In another 10 years there's going to be a massive shortage of senior programmers who are capable of doing anything more complicated than the AI, and able to sort out the messes everyone's creating with it.

All the companies not wanting to hire entry level programmers right now is also a big problem for those starting now. I can only hope companies realize AI is not a replacement for a human's learning ability.

Better content?
Lol
Lmao even.

I think they've got 1 person watching dozens of cars though, it's not 1 per car like if there was human drivers.

It doesn't help that the AI also has no ability to go backwards or edit code, it can only append. The best it can do is write it all out again with changes made, but even then, the chance of it losing the plot while doing that is pretty high.

If that company has people curating the results, then they have a reason to exist and they would have a valid copyright. If the company is just feeding customer prompts into an AI, then there's no copyright, but also no value added vs just using stable diffusion or a hosted service yourself.

I just think any AI image that can't be copyrighted wouldn't be worth buying a license for anyway, since that implies no human was involved in creating it.

Is that even a thing on lemmy? Or are you thinking it's just force of habit?
