The cost to go with a movie with one friend is around $30-35 where I live. This assumes buying no concessions.

The cost to buy that movie on a physical format (assuming it releases on one) is $20-30 depending on whether that format is DVD or Blu-Ray.

A lot of folks right now could not afford either option. But even for those who can, the math doesn’t math on movie theaters.

Guillotines. Invest now before it’s too late!

Even the headline is wrong. Jobs have already started disappearing due to AI.

Jellyfin has definitely gotten leaps and bounds better in the last 4 years.

I pressed it. Just pressed it again. Turns out it doesn’t show up on Lemmy. Lol

This is the best response on here.

…and holy fuck, what a great game.

Given how polarized parts of the world currently are about some specific issues, I would not at all be surprised if this became a real thing.

Yeah OK, I just had to read that twice to see you’re right.

The title is ambiguous (or perhaps vague, more accurately).

“doesn’t let me use my 32 char password” can be interpreted as:

• it does not allow passwords of 32 characters in length, regardless of composition

• it does allow passwords of 32 characters in length, which should be sufficient with or without special characters

In one reading, the special character requirement is the issue. In the other, the length.

Yay for English.

Maybe… just maybe… the ones at the top with all the money should not be the ones with the least knowledge and the worst skillsets.

Remember this the next time some politician says we don’t have money for services that would actually help US citizens.

Not that it’ll make a difference, but at least you’ll know you were right as the world burns down around you.

iyes :wq

I even use a fan in the winter. I like cold air on the outside and warm air on the inside. More than that, something about the wind moving past my head is soothing.

Yeah, this is a major issue across the board. For a wide variety of products, if they clearly marked which were AI generated, then the sales would likely speak for themselves.

But companies don’t really want to do this. They want to mix AI slop in with regular products, so that over time, the average consumer dumbs down enough to no longer know the difference. Then they just generate every product ever and number go up.

This still ignores the fact that no one will have money to put into the system from the bottom (which is the only way it flows in an economy), but here we are.

That’s the thing: it doesn’t have to be better since it’s 100% free. It could be considerably worse and still be the better choice for the price.

The fact that it’s mostly on par is absolute gravy.

You’ve hit the nail on the head.

Companies pushing for AI are playing a short game, not a long game. They have not considered the consequences of this course after a short term return (which may not materialize anyway).

The whole AI debacle is a great example of why it’s bad to have engineering developments without the philosophical conversations. We need the A in STEAM to tell the E’s when they’re opening Pandora’s Box.

+1 for heliboard.

GBoard has good recognition, but I’d rather my keyboard didn’t just siphon off whatever I type.

No no, real numbers would hurt the bottom line. AI relies on great expectations and overly trusting techbros.

Same. Chalk one up for good conversation on Lemmy.

We could be beyond it. What hasn’t happened quite yet are things like failing currencies, but it’s entirely possible we are beyond the point of no return. Once the giant ring of investments catches up with itself, the snake eats its own tail, the bottom drops out, and the greatest economic crash the world has ever seen stampedes unfettered through the lives of every person on the planet.

To look at this another way: the government of South Korea has decided to give people the feeling of a strike without actually letting it affect bottom lines in any meaningful way. That is, they have relegated the strike (a key utility of those fighting for workers’ rights) to being a tool used solely to assuage discontent in the short term. Without economic teeth, it cannot be used to enhance the lives of workers, which is ultimately the explicit goal of any strike.

South Korea is of course not alone in reducing or eliminating the rights of its citizens so that corporations continue to profit at their expense.
