I think we're almost there. Probably slightly bulkier fashion needs to be normalised to make this acceptable, but the potential applications of AR are actually cool. Meta is a privacy nightmare, but they are pushing R&D in the VR space and I think its at least notable. I don't like trusting any megacorp with my data but its going to be a big company that makes commercial AR a reality.

If the AI doesn't hallucinate incorrect information, I totally agree.

One size fits all classroom learning leaves many students behind, and having a personal AI tutor could really help kids fill in the gaps in their understanding that would otherwise be overlooked.

AI hallucinations is still a very real factor that limits the usefulness of this tech right now though. I magine coming into class and your tutor you had yesterday is confidently telling you the opposite of the fact that it taught you yesterday.

I didn't even know about this but I think you're right. I just scrolled through the Calm Piano playlist and the third song down was by an artist with millions of streams, but absolutely zero online presence outside of Spotify and Apple Music. Their about section was just a generic sentence.

I hate this. So the idea is that the cost of creating this music is less than the payout of streaming royalties if they push the songs on their official generic playlists, effectively keeping the money in-house rather than paying to an external artist.. yay..

Agreed. As a person that has released music, I hate this guy and would like the book thrown at him and anyone mass releasing shitty AI music.. It might not be a big corpo doing it, but it's still fucking creatives over.

Surely it's coming. We have The music publishing cartel vs Suno already.

Exactly, there are blatant examples of direct plagiarism spat out by these LLMs.

I wonder where they trained the AI model to answer such a question lol.

All post-COVID tech companies in a nutshell.

AI seems to be getting used as the latest way to keep VCs still interested in a world of higher interest rates and otherwise tighter corporate spending.

Oh for sure, I'm not a "This is the year of the Linux desktop" kind of person. The average person probably doesn't care about privacy/software freedom enough, but I don't think think it is at all insurmountable for a normal person to transition to the simpler distros if they begin to care about those things.

It almost seems like Linux Mint is the default recommend now which is better. I had a kind of buggy time with Pop OS, due to the amount of unsupported extensions you need to run to have some customisability.

OpenSUSE TW with KDE has been the best experience for me in the end.

Omg it really feels like that sometimes.

The youtubers who paint Linux as extremely unstable/not appropriate for gaming almost come across as sponsored by Microsoft. (Not to mention the overemphasis of the ubiquity of adobe suite users i.e. confirmation bias)
