I do a lot of photography and I share it on my deviant art page.
NGL I think it should all brain chips should fall under “concerning” and “controversial”
The artificial eyes that existed in the past come to mind.
For those unfamiliar, when the companies that made them went under support for the devices vanished and the people who got them were left with broken and defunct hardware still stuck in their heads
Inflation can’t even lose this much money is such a short time
The first tweet nft sold for $2.9mil and is now “worth” less than $4.
Like it was worth anything at all in the beginning anyways
Edit: Spleling
The main problem is the “No end of life plan” issue
If the software/game/whatever has to call a server to verify itself then when the company goes under or stops supporting it then the software/game/whatever becomes useless without a crack of some kind that may or may not be possible for the layman to implement
Companies need an end of life plan for their products with DRM
DRM isn’t evil, it’s just it’s current implementations and the fact that when the software is abandoned companies don’t remove it. There’s no end of life plan for their software
Also some forms in the past have been straight up evil.
I’ll never forget sending a letter to a dev because I lost their code wheel for a game I owned and they sent a letter back telling me to buy the game again ‡
I’d say that was my first step towards piracy
‡ Before anyone asks: No I don’t remember what game it was for or what company I sent it to, that was decades ago.
We were talking about consciousness not AI created works and copyright but I do have some opinions on that.
I think that if an artist doesn’t want their works included in an AI dataset then it is their right to say no.
And yeah all the extra data that we humans fundamentally aquire in life does change everything we make.
Don’t we humans derive from our trained dataset: our lives?
If you had a human with no “trained dataset” they would have only just been born. But even then you run into an issue there as it’s been shown that fetuses respond to audio stimulation while they’re in the womb.
The question of consciousness is a really hard one for sure that we may never have an answer that everyone agrees on.
Right now we’re in the infant days of AI.
I’m honestly surprised I don’t see any comments from Lemmygrad and Hexbear accounts yet saying some tankie shit.
Especially Hexbear
Hexbear’s been swarming lately in anything even vaguely political turning those threads into trash fires.
Maybe they’re just focusing on the meme communities right now.
Yeah this place is pretty new and it really does feel nice here (mostly) but I participated a lot in some of the communities I took part in. And those were usually helping newer people in those spaces. It’s pretty fun teaching people about new hobbies and also being that newbie.
It’s kinda sad to me seeing what Reddit is doing, but also refreshing seeing these new places popping up.
I’m going to do what I can here, but I think I will miss it at times.
I’m very interested for when a price is announced for this
Hopefully it’s reasonable
