@Demolishun they can, but as with all things AI, It's not perfect and It's an endless game of cat and Mouse.

My hope is people will value human art more than before, we just need to give it time. All the AI slop looks the same after a while, AI can't make new things, it can only mash old ones. So truly unique pieces will be valuable.

Where AI will dominate imo is Marketing. Worst art job anyway

You may not think there is such a thing as intellectual property... but since most of the world operates as if there was, then there is...

I'd also like to see that shit go or get changed in a major way, but alas, if IP exists to a lawyer and a judge, you can sue for it and you will be in the right

@Demolishun I'd even say that saying "certified human artist" is redundant. It should just be "certified artist"

... though who's the certification authority?... I'd hate to see an authority on who is an "artist" and who is not tbh...

in fact maybe just PGP keys and signed artwork might be enough... you can establish yourself as an artist yourself via speedpaints and being a generally good person to work with and art signed by your key would have higher value than unsigned one, not to mention it would be trace-able so if someone lied and made signed art using NNs a company could sue for exactly each piece of art that they delivered :P

@Lensflare When did logic ever work with people like this?

@CaptainRant Im just trying to explain my thought process on this. Corrct me if I misubderstood but the way I read your message is that you yourself lack logical thinking, even after all the years of experience. Or are you talking about other students?

@CaptainRant Im with CoreFusion on this. I've seen people struggle in uni with this, and I've spent time with them for 6 years and I don't think they ever improved. So Im really unsure that you can learn it. If yes then it probably takes a lot of effort and time. You can likely build some intuition with enough exposure, but the question then becomes how to get that exposure in such quality and quantity, because It's clearly not enough to just read books or listen to lectures. This imo requires active learning more than other subjects because It's impossible to describe something so abstract by a teacher but you can learn frameworks to use when you solve problems yourself. Learning the framework however is not the goal, the goal is to use it often with many problems and successfully solve them to build experience and Intuition

What they really want: vibe coder

Yeah, It's almost as if *transformers* were made to transform input and not to generate creative ideas, new code based on generic prompts or to sext with people.

I don't hate AI, I hate that It's being abused. Square peg forced into the round holes of all the users...

But use it correctly and you get reliable outputs. Even 1b models can do perfect mappings, formatting and info destilation most of the time, and you can run it on a cpu with great speed or on a consumer gpu instantly.

The only bugless code is an empty file

@jestdotty I just call it rage coding. Cause the AI will do it wrong 3 times and then I'll just do it properly myself! Weirdly motivating to see something do it wrong in real time. Just makes me go "oh no, why did you do it like this?!"

I never had two Jobs exactly, but I had a full-time job and a side project to which I dedicated a couple of hours after work.

It was exhausting, not worth the extra money and it made it difficult to spend time with people I wanted to spend time with.

I eventually told the client Im done with the project (I wasnt the only dev there so it didn't hurt the project much probably) and it was the best decision ever. The money just wasnt worth it and I had more energy to focus on my main job, which ironically also made it easier to climb some ranks again and negotiate better pay anyway.

Depends on the person, but I for one am really not built to handle non-stop work and stress. Being able to relax and clear my head is way more important to me than any amount of money. I burn out fast if I don't get enough *me* time

"Computer scientist Andrej Karpathy, a co-founder of OpenAI and former AI leader at Tesla, introduced the term vibe coding in February 2025."

Yep, this is Just another marketing buzzword. Great.

@Demolishun It's only fucked if we let it be fucked. And *some* people are letting it. I refuse to contribute

@jestdotty Ouch. But fair enough. I don't know you and you don't know me. Doesn't mean you can go around selling your own personal headcanon definitions of words to people all willy nilly. I mean you can, cause it's the internet, but you're contributing to the butchering of words by doing it.

@jestdotty sorry if I pushed it a bit too hard, didn't want to insult you.

what I should've said is that I think you're misrepresenting the word on purpose to push some sort of agenda. I let it get to me and ended up making it personal and for that I apologize.

1,2,3,4,6,5...

5 is just bad with the array allocation too

@jestdotty definitions contain examples so people know in what context the term applies. Don't get too hooked up on one Word and skip the others.

You make your own path and being ambitious means literally taking the longer and harder path. Ambitions are good for people and have nothing to with society brainwashing you. If you choose to see it that way because you're lazy or gave up on ever making anything big or cool, or traveling an interesting path, or maybe because you just dream small that's on you.

Some ambitious examples:
- Traveling the world
- Curing a common but currently uncurable illness
- Fixing the current state of education
- releasing 5 books a year and getting good ratings when you have no skill

Ambitions can be selfish but also selfless. It's all about trying to dostinguish yourself from the masses. It can be money, but it can also be fame, honor or superiority in any topic or form. It can dostinguish you in the world, or just in your group of friends.

@retoor don't keep it mind, It's semantically incorrect.

That's just a subset of ambitious people, the actual set of ambition is much broader than society itself.

@jestdotty there is no "my definition". The word already has a definition:

"having a strong wish to be successful, powerful, or rich"

or

"If a plan or idea is ambitious, it needs a great amount of skill and effort to be successful or be achieved"

Nothing to do with society, brainwashing or aggression. It's all about wanting to do something that is difficult for you, or even seemingly unachievable, but wanting to do it anyway and putting in the work and effort.

A project can be ambitious, like wanting to write a whole OS on rust. Nothing aggressive nor brainwashed there and definitely nothing to do with society.

When I said white people are ambitious I mean they always wanted to build stronger, go further and fly higher than others. If you have that mindset on a race-wide level you get massive expansion. The observed result we have today. It's not all good, but ambitions are not good or evil. It's a good frame of thought for success, but that's all

Because the users are sheep. Circle is complete

@antigermgerm i meant the politicians, the big corps and the rich pedos.

But you almost got it

Yeah, theres a wide range of dates where Jesus could've been born, we're just not sure anymore. That's further compounded by the fact that time/date keeping changed throughout history a lot as well. If we wanted to fix it now we would just make the problem more confusing... So at this point It's better to not fuck with it.

At the end, the only thing that really matters is that we use the metric system like a civilized world should.

@jestdotty being ambitious is not the same as being aggressive!

As someone said, look at the chinese or japanese... Or hell, look at any islam country.

White and black people pale in comparison to mongols and turks historically speaking. Even our religions tend to be religions of peace and fascinated by life and death more than ethnic clensing or domination...

But it might also be a moot point these days since we're pretty racemixed already.

Pretty much every continent has It's violent history anyway, and if your look far enough you gonna find ugly shit on everyones list. These days blacks could be more aggressive because the world supports them in being angry with whites and in general we just keep making people more and more angry with each other. The races, the sexes, the religions. It's almost as if someone benefited from us fighting ourselves rather than the *real* enemy :))))

Ha, that was mind blowing stuff when I learned you could configure hardware using Jumpers xD...

I actually found the concept of jumpers kinda weird as a kid.... Felt like you shouldnt connect random wires with a piece of metal inside something connected to the mains power. I was amazed it worked :D good times

@retoor you could interpret it as good needing a DNA sample from the bone marrow.

If you tool a limb or an important bone you'd disable 1/2 of your starting population... A rib is ok to miss...

And that's only if you do interpret it very literally! Could've just been a sample, but first ppl were dumb, so they wouldnt understand!

@kiki How much time has to pass before you don't think of a person as a pedo since last offense? If he didn't do anything for 500 years would you be willing to reconsider? Just because he had relations with an underage kid in the past doesn't really mean he is attracted to them now or even back then...

If we really want to get technical, then paedophilia is technically being attracted to kids aged 13 and less... so by the medical definition he's not... but in the eyes of the law he is... but then you also have the statute of limitations, which in this case I think is only 5 or 10 years... So even by law he's cleared *today*...

It's not as clear cut as you'd like it to be in my opinion.

To be fair, that's the right approach. As an extreme example, you shouldn't judge what people did in the year 1000 by the metrics of 2000s... The same might very much apply here. Not to mention you can't really lock up someone today for what they did 50 years ago and so on... Some people don't like to admit to this, but morality *is* kinda subjective and changes with cultures, circumstances and time... Don't forget that even the age of consent is different among countries to this very day, so it's not like this is a solved problem even with all the new psychology studies on the topic we have now.

On the other hand, it was objectively classified as pedophilia even then by 1970s standards and law, so on paper, black/white opinion is clear on this, which is the stance I would personally take, have this still been a relevant case today.

If he was dating underage girls to this day, I'd classify him as a pedo without question, but I do believe most people are capable of some growth

@TheBeardedOne I used to worry about that. Now I just report "I have no work assigned, so let me know if something needs doing"

And I keep saying that until I get something to work on, which usually takes a 2-3 days

You're accidentally pushing all the data to production

worst country... I'm not saying all indians are bad, I'm just saying that india houses the largest concentration of some of the worst scumbags on earth. At least if the police and government wasn't so corrupt you could report them, but chances are they are on their payroll too...
