Even if Android XR would be properly open-source it would STILL be the same problem as Android or Chromium, namely that Google, one of the largest ad-driven corporation, gets to drive it.⚠️
The manifesto v3 & consequence of ad blocking should be a stark reminder of consequences. https://x.com/RtoVR/status/1869151790467260863

OK… but can I just establish a company, register it saying I’m doing AI R&D (sigh), like have a HuggingFace account… then just legally pirate anything and everything I want?🏴☠️🤔
Should @internetArchive become an “AI company”?🏦

to squeeze just a bit more revenue. This is the same process at work with the industrialization of AI, namely some former startups now corporations are shifting the costs, negative externalities, to workers & even society at large while claiming to “revolutionize” their field.

then when I saw the Amazon “smile” logo I couldn’t help but think “Damn… he sure as heck is getting exploited to no end”. It doesn’t justify his behavior but it was a blatant example of how one of the largest (and thus most successful) corporation is abusing workers in order…

PS: just Saturday I saw a nondescript white van blocking the street. I cycled around it and while watching I noticed it was full of the brim with Amazon packages. The van had 0 branding.
Initially, I was pissed at the driver due to his egoistic use of a shared good, our road…

Others, lowly workers, have to compete, not the “winners” who claim the “market” works.
This is such a recurring trope.

Replying to @utopiah
What I mean is that one on hand somebody is claiming market efficiency as a way to “prove” their point… while they are clearly gaming the market, spending unimaginable amount of money to secure a monopolistic position for rent extraction without competition.

This is SUCH a typical “Rules For Thee but Not for Me” of people in power.
Namely “yes… yes others will lose their job because of market forces, it’s ineluctable, they are not productive in this new world” meanwhile THEY are getting rich wasting the resources of others.🤷♂️ https://x.com/BirdRespecter/status/1868753692121612338

More context https://lemmy.ml/post/23629310 which IMHO is pretty pointless. I don’t really understand the “traction” behind this. I don’t believe it would be so “popular” if it wasn’t for Microsoft backing it. Still unsure why, disappointed they don’t contribute to existing projects.

how things actually look like, what to adjust, what to focus on. You start to ponder what truly matter in your image. Basically it becomes a tool to think. It looks initially naively like collage, but it does help to imagine, to think further.
So… yes, just DIY.

I’m not an expert but I’d argue the key tools or “concepts” to get are :
- layers (like tracing paper)
- selection (like scissors or exacto knife)
That’s about it. Everything else is just making that better.

Honestly people, adults and kids alike, should spend the entire 21 min it takes to learn photograph manipulation.🙄
It can be done with entirely free tools, e.g. @GIMP_Official or @Krita_Painting, while relying on also free image banks, e.g. @unsplash, and is an actual skill! https://x.com/GaryMarcus/status/1868488791851462781

Entertaining to see the MarkDown or /llms.txt “craze”.
It’s as if accessibility had been there, needed, documented, potentially supported all along, e.g. @w3c_wai, but it’s only “trendy” once it’s VC/SF quasi religiosity backed. Quite sad really.

Twitter/X absolutely broken search is a real problem for me. Until the take over a year ago I used the platform not just as a way to show my work but also as a way to refer to it over time.
Broken search is making this impossible.
