Helping with complex Terminal commands/shell scripts is basically my #1 practical use-case for AI right now… especially if you use tools like JQ a lot. Saving keystrokes is a lifestyle, after all.

I am also a really big fan of Warp, and was even before they added the AI feature (the editor-style functionality is wonderful). For the record, the AI isn’t always running in Warp, to use it you start a prompt with hash (#) and then ask for what you want and it presents options.

It does not make a meaningful difference at all. Get the keyboard you like best. Personally, I’m a fan of the Logitech G915 (Windows layout) for Windows, Mac, and Linux.

Not if I’m not using any Google products. There are now excellent (even superior) alternatives to everything Google offers save YouTube.

Maybe we’ll get lucky and Gaben will leave ownership of the company collectively to it’s employees.

Admitting the genocide part out loud… and there will still be no consequences for Israel’s bloodthirsty terrorist government.

I’m on Debian + GNOME right now, which works fine for me, but I plan on trying out Pop! OS in the next couple weeks. I’ve put off a long time because it’s downstream of Ubuntu and I’m no longer a fan of Canonical’s direction.

The big anti-cheat tools (BattleEye and EAC) are already compatible. The only remaining problems are a small number of developers that intentionally announced that they will be proactively blocking linux… like Bungie.

Now if Valve can just give us an up-to-date version of SteamOS for desktops…!

I am getting really tired of these right-wing dictatorships trying to play the “discrimination” card whenever their governments are criticized for their heinous actions.

…are they going to apply this rule to Nintendo or Sony…

They absolutely should. Closed ecosystems should be illegal. They are literally an intentional form of unethical, predatory trust.

Nah, BDSM is all about consent. I don’t think he requested that consent before inflicting that amount of widespread pain.

Monstrous right wing imbecile is right wing monster, imbecile. Full story at 11.

Every time I see that phrase it makes my eye twitch. ALL pricing is artificial. Always. No exceptions.

I’m in California, where it is legally required for them to provide an online cancellation if that’s how you signed up.

They have a cancellation link, but if you click it, it takes you to a fake error page.

Maybe it’s that I don’t watch much comedy, but I’ve literally never seen anything dump on Indian. There is nothing more delicious than Indian. Nothing. Not even Mexican food. I do not say that lightly.

You realise the AI is being trained on pictures of real children, right?

Disingenuous and misleading statement. No readily available AI is trained on CP.

So it’s wrong for it to be based on one child, but according to you the AI “art” (as you keep calling it) is okay as long as there are thousands of victims instead?

Disingenuous and misleading statement. I’m guessing you don’t understand how AI works. As for AI output, a randomly generated nonexistent person is nonexistent. Simple as that.

Sidenote: I disapprove of nonconsensual Photoshop and AI illustrations of real people, except for fair use cases such as satire. AI is just another illustrative tool, and the choice of tool is beside the point.

So you’re cool with images of 6 year olds being penetrated by a 40 year old as long as “tHe Ai DrEw iT sO nObOdY gOt HuRt”?

No, I am not. And that is still utterly unimportant. It doesn’t matter how I feel about someone’s fictitious illustrations, sculptures, writings, or anything else created by a person or AI that is wholly fictitious.

That’s literally the whole point I am making: It doesn’t matter how I feel about it, it doesn’t matter how YOU feel about it. It’s not real. Neither you nor I nor anyone else has the right to judge someone else’s art.

Careful, any time I point this out, the fascists come out of the woodwork to call me a pedo.

Criminalizing the creation, possession, or viewing of entirely artificial artwork is beyond unethical; it’s extraordinarily evil. I don’t care if you find someone’s artwork gross, troubling, distasteful, immoral, etc… that’s art. Victimizing real people is not “art” or “speech” or “expression”… so as long as that isn’t happening there is no ethical grounds whatsoever for restricting a persons exercise of expression, especially in private.

Social consequences for creating, sharing, viewing certain artwork is one thing… but the government or law punishing someone for it is a different thing entirely.

That said, this specific case is different in that the doctor DID in fact victimize real children by using secret photos and recordings of them to create the images. That crosses way across the line that I laid out above. Additionally, he possessed actual CSAM (which he may have made himself), and so is absolutely guilty of sexually victimizing real children. That guy deserves everything he gets in prison.
