  • But saying “firing squad” doesnt prove that communism leads to authoritarianism, although it references a time in history that was very brutal and oppressive.

    No one said this.

    Saying that the rise of authoritarianism had nothing to do with ideology is wrong though. Mind you, it wasn’t the result of communist ideology, but the opportunistic Leninist ideology that hijacked the worldwide leftist movement.








  • DLSS

    Sure, I’ll give you that stuff like that is pretty cool, pretty niche though.

    Writer’s block

    Don’t like it for this purely because LLMs are pretty much cultural poison.

    Entertainment

    If you are entertained by this stuff for longer than 15 minutes you can try jangling keys in front of your face as a cheaper alternative.

    Creating avatars

    Yea if you like to be represented by an ugly plagiarised blob.

    Green screen

    No opinion on how viable or useful this may be as I don’t really use green screens.

    So basically, the pros of generative models are stuff that makes you go “cool I guess…” for 15 minutes and the cons are creativity and cool shit on the internet being drowned out by an oversaturation of idiots trying to make a quick buck.


  • He definitely focuses only on the worst ways that generative AI can be used without touching on any realistic takes from the other side

    There just aren’t that many… generative models are good at creating lots of garbage fast, this is mostly applicable for putting a lot of garbage on the internet in the hopes it somehow makes you money.

    Legitimately a more pointless technology than bitcoin.
