This is incredible thanks for sharing

Unless it’s been updated, Plex HTPC doesn’t work on arm

Lol at “He’s with Ben Sisko now”. Also congrats on your first Tea. Earl Grey is a bit of an advanced power user sort of tea but it won’t kill you you’ll get the hang of it.

This is my white whale. There is a guy making LineageOS versions of Android TV that seem to work well for some people but in my experience are buggy and I couldn’t get CEC working no matter what I tried.

Libreelec (kodi) works fantastic and CEC is flawless with every device I tested, but Kodi these days is really only good for local media (not Plex, Jellyfin, Youtube or streaming services) and real-debrid.

KDE Bigscreen is my last hope, but it’s probably going to be a while before it’s ready, not even including the inevitable wait for TV-interface versions of streaming apps that can run on ARM (if you’re using a raspi).

Wow, bad week for Trekkies. I didn’t realize he was sick.

I’m not sure what point you’re trying to make, I agree that a copy machine is not sentient. You can’t just decide that an inanimate object is “art” and then work backwards to say that the non-sentient tools that were used to create the work are the real artist.

But I’m not talking about a copy machines. I’m saying that if a hypothetical synthetic being was able to retell an existing human story using its own voice then that qualifies as an original artistic work. Just as we don’t consider Christopher Nolan’s “The Odyssey” to be a “copy” even though the story has been told before. Without an artist you definitionally don’t have art.

No no no it’s simple see:

Black lady serving on the bridge crew = “social commentary”

Black lady leading the bridge crew = “preachy heavy handed delivery trying too hard to be woke”

It’s so crazy how the difference between “preached” and “commented” is based on your specific opinion of where social progress should have stopped 🤔

A new account that immediately starts posting fake incendiary content?

The only thing I’m surprised by is that reddit didn’t boost that to the front page for engagement.

My mama begged me to get into cartooning but I thought corporate law was the path to financial independence how could I be so foolish

I mean, if a computer creates an artistic work that is truly indistinguishable from a human work, then that would imply the AI possesses sentience and is sharing it’s individual perspective via said work. And honestly I consider that something to be celebrated, not feared.

LLMs might be able to fool us for a minute or two into believing it is alive, but unless I’m fundamentally misunderstanding the technology they can’t actually ever share a perspective and make art because they don’t possess a perspective.

Yeah exactly. Generative software makes a lot of sense for advertising and other short term distractions, but not much else. I think there will be a contingent of people who get addicted to LLM outputs and are willing to pay for it (like we’re seeing with some chatbot boyfriends/girlfriends) but on the whole it’s just… boring.

Ah a clever and biting retort to be sure! A short and sweet dagger to the heart of the argument. Your college debate team is clearly very lucky to have someone like you among their ranks! However, I warn you, the fediverse, my friend, is the biggest of the big leagues, and such concise witticisms and stinging flashes of showmanship will not suffice to pull your seemingly iron clad observation across the finish line! Tokenism is not representation.

I’ve been subscribed to the physical copy for years and consider it a bargain. Even when a story is from a new writer and a little rough around the edges, it is always obvious why it got selected. Highly recommended if you love sci-fi short stories that make you go “hmm”

I always thought it was interesting how the one thing MAGA hasn’t been frothing at the mouth to reverse is gay marriage, it’s really crazy how fast the opinion changed once it became legal nationwide and the sky didn’t fall.

Ohh yes both good suggestions thanks

Yeah that’s a very good point, I have long hated how Reddit has been slowly erasing each subreddits individual identity/community and just turning the app into another algorithmic content feed.
