Artificial intelligence is also just like enlightened magic, which only does what we tell it to do and how we tell it to do it, not what we want to believe 😅
The majority of my time as a developer is spent on understanding problems and existing solutions, before deciding on a fitting course of action and implementing it, which is then fun to do.
All the ai code assist hype would be less insufferable if the promotors and managers eager to buy into it showed an inkling of understanding that it takes away little of the hard and tedious work, and mostly replaces the fun work with more hard and tedious work.
For two consecutive quarters, generative #AI dealmaking at the earliest stages has declined, dropping 76% from its peak in Q3 2023 as wary investors sit back and reassess following the initial flurry of capital into the space.
Okay, now this is important. Drop everything you're doing, because Tom7 has released a new video. And oh boy, is it wonderful. 20 minutes won't save your life - and this video demands you sacrifice that time. Now!
»Adobe will Zugriff auf Inhalte von Photoshop-Usern:
Der Konzern hat seine Nutzungsbedingungen aktualisiert. Wer zustimmt, gibt dem Unternehmen das Recht, auf seine Daten zuzugreifen.«
Ich empfehle und nutze schon länger @krita, @GIMP, @inkscape, @Blender und/oder @penpot aber ich bin ja kein Grafikprofi. Abgesehen davon wird selten zugegeben, dass die Fixierung auf einen Hersteller nicht unbedingt professionell ist.
🧵 …und immer noch wird Apple so wie Adobe als professionell und nicht als Spionage oder/und Ausnutzung angesehen. Vom Copyright und Co. sprechen wir hier noch gar nicht, denn dies ist so umgesetzt keine Freiheit.

»Adobe's new terms of service unacceptably gives them access to all of your projects, for free«
The tricky thing about being a company that I don't trust is that even when you try to clarify something you need to be aware that specificity can sound suss.
"Adobe does not train Firefly Gen AI models on customer content."
The way this is worded does not say your content is not used in training AI models, just that it's - SPECIFICALLY - not used to train "Firefly Gen AI models."
#AI#GenerativeAI#Media#News#Journalism#OpenAI: "Those other deals they did a long time ago? The ones with the likes of Google and Apple and, most particularly, Facebook? They actually have learned lessons from them.
Most crucially: Those deals required publishers to change their business — to create new formats, or make a particular kind of video or story they wouldn't normally make, or to make more of them than they'd normally make. (The one I remember most vividly was Facebook's live video push, which paid publishers like The New York Times to make boring videos.)
But the OpenAI deals, the publishers emphasize, are straightforward licensing deals for stuff they're already making. Nothing bespoke. "It doesn't change the way we operate," one of them tells me.
And that is by far the most common theme you hear when you talk to publishers about these deals. They're something close to free money — for work that was going to get made regardless.
Which means — they say — at the end of these deals, publishers won't have to regret investing in another defunct Big Tech project."
