What about DLSS? What about machine learning for identifying new planets? ML Models for discovering new medicines? Object avoidance for drones? Transcribing and translating different languages?
AI is way bigger than just some Large Language Models.

He goes into the details of the most upvoted Google Gemini fails and then branches out to how text/image/audio generative AI is being used on Facebook, Instagram to inflate traffic, as well as how you can actually earn some income by farming reactions on twitter now (with the blue checkmark).
There’s a section on how adobe is selling AI generated images with their stock photos, but you can tell this video might be a little rushed because he comes to the conclusion that people are paying $80 for one of these images, when in reality the $80 adobe plan gives you 40 images (so about $2 per stock image). That or he knows this statement is misleading, but makes it anyway because it will drive his own reactions up (oh the irony). https://web.archive.org/web/20240701131247/https://stock.adobe.com/plans

With adobe he touches on their updated ToS that state how any images uploaded to Adobe can be used to train their own generative image model.
The Netflix section talks about the “What Jennifer Did” documentary which used AI generated images and passed them off as real (or at least didn’t mention that the images were fake).
Spotify: How audio generative AI is being used to create music and is being published on there now as well as their failed
Edit: as well as their failed “projects/features” (car accessory, exclusive podcasts, etc.)
Multiple times throughout the video he pushes the theory that most of these companies are also using AI generated content to drive engagement on their own site (or to earn income without needing to pay any artists).
He definitely focuses only on the worst ways that generative AI can be used without touching on any realistic takes from the other side (just the extreme takes from the other side with statements like “AI music will replace the soulless crappy music that’s being released now… and it will be better and have more soul!”).
Still worth a watch, he brings up a ton of valid points about the market being oversaturated with AI generated products.
Hiding “/s” in a spoiler tag is a bit more satire friendly.
In some cases seeing it upfront gives away the fact that you’re not serious a little too quickly and doesn’t have the same “got ya” effect that some people want.
It’s not necessary by any means, but it can be fun to add that extra layer sometimes.
As far as what happens specifically on Lemmy, it looks something like this:
Hi! Yeah, probably a timing thing. I used a spoiler tag yesterday and a user mentioned that it didn’t work for them. Turns out it’s a known issue for Boost users, so that was fresh on my mind.
Some Lemmy applications don’t display it well (like Boost).
It works fine through a browser or Voyager.
Edit:typo
I think I was thrown off by the “trackpad” example that was given above. That would have been a bit more complex than just a simple button press (which is still doable in low level firmware) but I was curious how they would pull it off.
I looked up what “solid state buttons” are and it makes a lot more sense now. This isn’t like some trackpad you can swipe along the endge, they’re still buttons in separate locations, just not in the mechanical clicking sense that we’re used to.
You could also use something like GrayJay, I’ve been using it for a while now and haven’t had any issues with it.
despite the fact that hosting images is orders of magnitude less bandwith and storage requiring than videos.
In general, yes, when comparing images/video of the same resolution. But if I compare an 8k image to a low quality video with low FPS, I can easily get a few minutes worth of video compared to that one picture.
As you said, it definitely costs money to keep these services running. What’s also important is how well they are able to compress the video/images into a smaller size without losing out on too much quality.
Additionally, with the way ML models have made their way into frame generation (such as DLSS) I wouldn’t be surprised if we start seeing a new compressed format that removes frames from a video (if they haven’t started doing it already).
My one concern is, what do I do if the phone freezes up?
With physical buttons there is a hardware bypass so I can force the phone to reset.
With a “trackpad” I’m not as confident it will register those touches correctly when the OS has seized up.
I’m assuming they’ll have something figured out at the hardware level, but I’m curious what that will be.
What @delirious_owl@discuss.online seemed to be implying is that direct messages on Mastodon should be considered “public” rather than “private”.
I’m assuming that’s along the same lines of how Lemmy users generally think that their upvotes/downvotes are private when in reality, if you know how to look for them, you can see them.
Ah, I see. So it’s the same mistake that Lemmy users make when thinking that Upvotes/Downvotes aren’t public.
It sounds like DMs on Mastodon are public, but are commonly mistaken to be private then?
They’re called DMs not PMs
? Did you mean that the other way around? And if you did… forgive me, I don’t really use Mastodon. I was never much of a twitter fan. I don’t really like how all of my likes are public (although I guess I have had to get used to that with Lemmy).
Hmmm it was even able to pull in private DMs.
Maybe private DMs on Mastadon aren’t as private as everyone thinks… that, or the open nature of Activity Pub is leaking them somehow?
Edit - From the article:
Even more shocking is the revelation that somehow, even private DMs from Mastodon were mirrored on their public site and searchable. How this is even possible is beyond me, as DM’s are ostensibly only between two parties, and the message itself was sent from two hackers.town users.
From what @delirious_owl@discuss.online mentioned below, it sounds like this shouldn’t be very shocking at all.
It’s not just tap water, it’s also the non-stick coating on a large number of pans (including Hex Clad which is one of the more expensive sets).
New island, new pals, new subspecies, new buildings & level cap, new raid, an oil rig stronghold, an arena, and a new faction & boss.
This looks like an awesome feature packed update… I’ll have to hop back in soon.

I think when you say “Hates AI” you mean “Hates ChatGPT”
“AI” itself has a lot of awesome uses, ML models with DLSS, robots that can maneuver over different terrain, image generation, audio transcription, etc.
Even with LLMs, I’m fine with them as long as I was the one that was able to pick and choose the model as well as the software to use to run it.
Well, now’s a great time to let them know about Pixelfed, although explosive growth like this will be a strain on any website.
You realize that copyright law still applies… whether you add some additional license to your software or not… right?
