This is the second phase of enshittification. They are hurting yhe businesses with this, not the consumer.

Pronounced “iks”

That’s my point. Unless they want to change the title, they have to use weak language if they want to post an article before more evidence shows up.

They could change it now but they will probably just write a more thorough story to feed the algorithm again.

Good journalists cross-check more than one source before concluding anything. Have they spoken to any witnesses? Is the video fake?

I think it’s a good thing that the languagr is weak because there aren’t any more evidence (yet).

Yeah but we aren’t used to be out all day. Most people just commute to work and back.

Doesn’t work. They ask you to use the camera and have you turn you head in different directions.

What’s with the watermark?

It’s mostly a middle man to outsource payments. The stire doesn’t care if it’s on credit or not. You can pay directly with a bank account through Klarna, at least with the major Swedish banks.

No. In Sweden, 99% of all payments are cahsless. Most stores don’t even take cash anymore.

We still have plenty of (digital) options for payment in addition to Visa/Mastercard.

In my view, it’s actually the opposite. The more digital paymenst are used, the higher the incentive to create a competing payment solution. Swish and Klarna are taking over more and more here.

Right? And that’s one of the best features of the market!

I’d change it to say expectations on the future of the matket, though. It has nothing to do with futures, per se.

I still think it looks weird. The Ice-person moves quite a bit from one frame to the next.

Not without internet access and Sonos cloud servers, it doesn’t…

What’s with the cut right before he fires?

Sponsorblock takes care of those

I’m conflicted here. Your first paragraph initially opens the loophole “but AI art” could be the medium in which the artist is expressing themselves. So poor prompting could be beautiful too, in a way. I’m sure photographers of the past felt this way about software post editing when that became popular.

The results may be good to many viewers but apalling to anyone who can tell the difference. If the results don’t matter, does it matter if AI slop is “bad”?

The prompt may have been beautiful, and the process of learning and finding the right tools (i.e. choosing the right model) is akin to the struggles of any artist in learning their craft.

/devil’s advocate

With that framing, there wouln’t be a patriarchy to fight against - just the establishment.

Not 200 %. Maybe 5-10 %. You still have to read all of it to check for mistakes, which may sometimes take longer than if you would have just written it yourself (with a good autocomplete). The times it makes a mistake you have lost time by using it.

It’s even worse when it just doesn’t work. I cannot even describe how frustrating it is to wait for an auto complete that never comes. Erase the line, try again aaaand nothing. After a few tries you opt write the code manually instead, having wasted time just fiddling with buggy software.

I can’t alt-tab at all out of fullscreen games on Wayland. My workaround is to send the game to another desktop. Annoying.

Even with KDE, Wayland isn’t ready yet. There are plenty of small annoynces for me, especially with the clipboard. Zoom doesn’t work right - screen sharing in general hangs the whole gui.

Lots of X based tools don’t have a good replacement yet. gpick, xkill, xclip, ssh -X, etc…
