The overall aesthetic of this show is so, so perfect. That was a fantastic trailer too.

You’ve already said you’re planning on it, but Cagliostro is a must. It’s not only a good Lupin film but a classic piece of anime media by Miyazaki.

I’m nostalgic for Season 2 (red jacket) lupin, and while you probably not need to watch them all I think there are quite a few fun and good episodes there too (including a couple of cool and beautiful episodes directed by Miyazaki, which have some interesting relations to his other work).

Also I think the new Lupin the IIIrd film series by Takeshi Koike is quite cool, representing a much darker and grittier Lupin than the light-hearted Miyazaki vision. It’s a great time to get into these ones too, because the final 2 pieces, Zenigata and the Two Lupins and The Immortal Bloodline are coming out in just a few weeks.

Is the ai doing anything that isn’t already allowed for humans. The thing is, generative ai doesn’t copy someone’s art. It’s more akin to learning from someone’s art and creating you own art with that influence. Given that we want to continue allowing hunans access to art for learning, what’s the logical difference to an ai doing the same?

AI stans always say stuff like this, but it doesn’t make sense to me at all.

AI does not learn the same way that a human does: it has no senses of its own with which to observe the world or art, it has no lived experiences, it has no agency, preferences or subjectivity, and it has no real intelligence with which to interpret or understand the work that it is copying from. AI is simply a matrix of weights that has arbitrary data superimposed on it by people and companies.

Are you an artist or a creative person?

If you are then you must know that the things you create are certainly indirectly influenced by SOME of the things that you have experienced (be it walking around on a sunny day, your favorite scene from your favorite movie, the lyrics of a song, etc.), AS WELL AS your own unique and creative persona, your own ideas, your own philosophy, and your own personal development.

Look at how an artist creates a painting and compare it to how generative AI creates a painting. Similarly, look at how artists train and learn their craft and compare it to how generative AI models are trained. It’s an apples-to-oranges comparison. Outside of the marketing labels of “artificial intelligence” and “machine learning”, it’s nothing like real intelligence or learning at all.

(And that’s still ignoring the obvious corporate element and the four pillars of fair use consideration (US law, not UK, mind you). For example, the potential market effects of generating an automated system which uses people’s artwork to directly compete against them.)

Either get rid of copyright for everything and everyone, or don’t.

But no stupid BULLSHIT exception for AI slop.

Does anyone know what reciprocal means?

Just checking.

It’s not a surprise that all these techbros who want to steal everything and feed it into their AI machines without paying a single fucking cent to the original creators all the sudden want to get rid of IP. They can lead by example by submitting their IP into the public domain.

Or maybe they’re just massive frauds?

AI isn’t ready to replace just about anybody’s job, and probably never will be technically, economically or legally viable.

That said, the c-suit class are certainly going to try. Not only do they dream of optimizing all human workers out of every workforce, they also desperately need to recoup as much of the sunk cost that they’ve collectively dumped into the technology.

Take OpenAI for example, they lost something like $5,000,000,000 last year and are probably going to lose even more this year. Their entire business plan relies on at least selling people on the idea that AI will be able to replace human workers. The minute people realize that OpenAI isn’t going to conquer the world, and instead end up as just one of many players in the slop space, the entire bottom will fall out of the company and the AI bubble will burst.

Big tech will do what is best for extracting money customers and investors.

If you really care what your operating system is made of, use Linux.

I had pretty mixed feelings about Stampede but I’m glad to Vash and the world of Trigun coming back again. Pretty interesting that Oshiyama is doing the animation character designs. If only they could bring back Tsuneo Imahori (the composer of the original Trigun anime) for the soundtrack.

what the fuck

THERE ARE DOZENS OF US!!

But seriously this is good news and I’m glad to have you all here. Lemmy is in a pretty good position right now in terms of having a critical mass of users and decent traction within popular communities. At the very least it feels self-sustaining here.

By 2035 everyone who actually likes computers will be primary using Linux.

Duplicate communities are a good thing anyway.

It’s crazy that on Reddit a community can get hijacked by some fucking weirdo who has control of things basically forever.

I think you should contact the moderation team. I’d be really curious to hear what they have to say is “excessive” about you informing people of EU-based alternatives to Reddit…

If nothing else it’ll be a good laugh here on fedi.

This is why Trump is extorting Ukraine. The people of the USA are overwhelmingly in favor of helping Ukraine fight against Putin’s imperialistic invasion.

I blocked MutualAid-related tags months ago because there is only so much begging and sob stories that a person can take.

I feel sorry for people who have problems and situations so desperate that they feel the best way to fix them is asking random people on the internet for money, but I just don’t know if I can trust them and I absolutely know I can’t help everyone.

On the bright side, it’s never been a better time to switch to an immutable distro…

God damn… In the amount of time that people have talked about all of this drama all of these guys could have learned how to write Rust.

But seriously, Linus has been right at every turn here. He was right for telling Marcan that he handled it poorly by taking it to social media, and he’s right here too about opting out of Rust.

Oh totally. I agree with that. I’m mainly talking about the people who appear to have come by, made a community, and then left (leaving it unmoderated and likely even more difficult to grow.)

That doesn’t both me and I think it comes with the territory of federation. Personally I never liked theory of the internet where there should be only one place to discuss a certain topic.

Maybe there could be some kind of combined view, where all of the posts from various communities are mixed together into one feed or something.
