Reddit is one website with hundreds of millions of users. Lemmy is software that powers multiple tiny platforms.

I hate that something so clever and cool is for a cryptocurrency advertisement

They must be doing some voodoo since Tidal doesn't let you use the same account for multiple concurrent streams.

it would be really hard to remove anything "from Lemmy" since "Lemmy" is just software and doesn't host any content.

AI doesn't have to be perfect, it just needs to be more profitable than with human labor.

What's going on here? Is it just pulling from someone's Tidal account?

Excellent points!

😂 I'm with you 100%. After I left my previous comment I had almost the exact same thought process. Why aren't replicators producing more slop?? It doesn't know what chicken soup tastes like. Chicken soup might be molecularly-speaking very similar to chicken shit soup.

I know we're debating a fictional tool (I'm here for it) but I'm saying I don't think it replicates "the process" it replicates the end result.

I just want to say I think you should post more discussion prompts while stoned bc I love threads like these

Replicators don't simulate cooking though, they rearrange atoms. It's an entirely different process and I have to imagine that translating between them is more of an art than a science.

Yeah, food is like music, it's just not enough to hit the right notes and there is infinite variations even with the same notes in the same order. Food also uses TWO senses so it's even more complicated.

It's probably difficult to program something to arrange atoms just the way your grandma used to.

 

It sounded like a stretch to me at first, but if you consider that the very concept of intelligence as something quantifiable and measurable (like IQ) implies a linear scale where some (guess which ones) people are simply better.

The funding behind AI comes out of a belief that it can be a tool to control and influence the population. It makes sense that it's origins would be in something similar.
