It has not fallen because of the arrival of AI. The fall started long ago.

Which AI scraper went rogue this time?

Machine, software, peripheral, whatever.

If it does not work on Linux I simply won’t buy it.

If it gets topped by AI, it obviously and undeniably has.

They might waste a thought on which country the Rolls Royce company comes from. If they have a thought to waste.

And now please explain to me why this is “art” and not just human slop.

because art is exclusively human.

Which is a rather weak redeeming quality. I hate AI generated slop, but that does not excuse the existence of human generated slop. My argument is not “see how good AI is”, but “see how much human creativity has fallen”.

I’m anything but an “AI booster”. Still, human slop does exist.

If it sounds better to the masses that human slop, so be it.

Human slop isn’t, either. The issue is that AI slop seems to top human slop now.

If AI generated slop raises to the top of the charts, it tells a lot about the perceived quality of the human-made slop there.

When will he designate right-wing terrorist as such?

Parrots with a stolen dictionary.

My solution is simple: if it does not work on Linux, the game is out.

He is just the first. Now that a case against Boeing is established, others will follow, both of people who’s case has not gotten this far yet, and those who have waited to sue.

There is a difference between a software being ad free and a download site being ad free (or in this case, not). As long as the tool is OK, I don’t mind ads on the site. I don’t see them, anyway.

I’ve got a DELL server that I used as home server, but it was too loud. But it worked well, even at an advanced age. I moved the disks to a normal desktop machine (not DELL) that is much, much quieter.

As aggressively as they are plastering deserts with solar panels and put windmills everywhere, this is not surprising. They are basically doing their part and more, just because they know and have accepted that renewable energy is cheaper on the long run.

In the US, scientists and engineers know that it would be cheaper, but politics is way too deep in the pockets of the fossil fuel industry to take any action. In Europe, they don’t have the space that China or the USA can provide, and there is way too mich NIMBY involved to actually get somewhere.

Well, yes. And there is no-one to blame but our own car brands. Used to cosy political protection, they simply assumed that business would go on like it did for decades.

Having to deal with EV technology would reduce their profits, so they basically ignored that topic, and probably spent more on lobbying to prevent the end of fossile fuel cars than on EV research and development.
