I use any tool available to create art and express myself, so I does not really matter what you think of it. Art is a very subjective thing anyway and we can argue for hours what "art" really is. But here are some of my thoughts regarding your comment, I think they apply to many others in this thread as well.

>UNLIKE other tools, AI makes creative decisions. No other tool has done this

If you use any other tool or technology (for example certain oil paint, canvases, sculpting material, motif, etc.) that also implies a creative decision.

>its primary purpose is to take away the reliance on artists

That is not true. It might be the purpose that some people ascribe to it, but it is a technology & a tool.

Humans decide what its purpose is, its purpose is not inherent to the technology itself.

You can use Imagen to create very personal and individual self-expression. With open source models that you can tweak and train yourself there are many possibilities to get an individual result. I guess you only looked at things like Dall-E and came to the conclusion that this would replace artists.

The same thing people said about photography aka "This is just a technology to replace portrait painters/landscape painters etc."

If you learn more about how Imagen works you will understand that there are many possibilities to make it your own and create meaningful self-expression.

>even if "normal human art" exists, it will never gain much traction or commercial viability.

There is 0 indication of that. Why do you think that?

FWIW the current art "market" is what makes me sick, so I am happy for any tech or idea that demolishes it and makes room for something new and creative.

I like their mini synths. Never knew that they are involved with phones or anything beyond small synths tbh.

Sorry the dumb question, but why not? Can't I make a static page that offers search (reload on every query with results) or profile (reload every time soemthing is changed in the profile)

It's weird but I saw the anti-blocker modal a week or two but them it stopped appearing and never saw it since shrug

IMO all of this will blow over in a few years and most artists will accept that "AI" is just another tool that one can use to create art.

It took some time for photography as well...

edit: typo

What cultures are you referring to?

There is no culture that is incompatible with the "european" culture (whatever the hell that is supposed to be - each euro country has a very different culture as you pointed out.)

Who comes to Europe that does not value European values? What are European values in your opinion?

Without you being clear on those things, I immediately think this is a thinly veiled xenophobic or racist dogwhistle.

Fellow European here, so would love to hear more about what you think European culture is.

Sweden has far less crime than countries with harsher sentences or a more punitive criminal system.

everything in culture is based on previous work and sampling; it has nothing to do with cloning.

If you can't speak the language of your field you can't produce something original. you have to master the basics first aka emulate others aka learn the language before you can become creative.

why would any sane maintainer even look at the subreddit for their software for even 1 second?

IMO it is insane to implement Auth on your own in almost all real life use cases. You wouldn't roll your own crypto either. Good for learning but for real users use something that is tried and tested.

Far from a comprehensive course, but I found this blogpost really good for understanding OAuth2 and usecases/limitations/footguns: https://www.ory.sh/oauth2-openid-connect-do-you-need-use-cas...

Musk is just salty he is out of the game

expertise in one area often leads people to believe they are experts for everything else too

If you're fully immersed in the Microsoft ecosystem I pray for you

you mean current completely made up speculation by anon online?

If MS gets their hands on an AGI help us god, but no "organizational safeguards" will matter.

Not that I think AGI is possible or desirable in the first place, but that's a different discussion.

this is the year of the linux desktop!

I read it as "people will die if there is a breaking change in the software"

if you don't hire phds you're not serious about it

I see what you mean, but in a lot of ways many mainstream memes have had their origin on 4chan (not only pol/b btw) and memes influence speech and everything else. Would be interesting to see a detailed analysis of this IMO

this is madness

Do you need to sign up for any of these services? Sounds horrible all around to me (not from the US)

Yes, if unlucky you get an Abmahnung from some shady law firm.

But you can just ignore it, nothing will actually happen; at least in the cases I personally know of.

As they say, war is the father of all things

And the problem with that is?

This is HN, it is literally run by VCs.

Discord is not anonymous and chatroulette is next on the choppingblock

protip: it was never good

mirror neurons

You always need a balance between authoritarianism and anarchy, in every society.

I think some laws in the US are also super authoritarian, just in a different direction.

Does the US have a 10 times higher rate of incarceration per capita as Germany?

Yes it does.

I think that's more authoritarian than making holocaust denial illegal.

As long as you are fine with that ok I guess...

that's impressive! gonna read up on that story
