Same. I’m on Debian tho so I’ve got ~6 months until it affects me :D

Two out of 10 Linux users agree that insert name here is the best distro

It’s audio-specific but I use Audiobookshelf’s RSS feed

I have a local folder where I put downloaded youtube audio and the RSS feed updates automatically when new files are placed there. Then, I access it through Lissen or the official audiobookshelf app.

The author from the article did. It’s a bit of a stretch as are the last 2-3 pieces of the list 🤷🏾‍♂️. The first few are still pretty big.

At what point do you think that your opinion on AI trumps the papers and studies of researchers in those fields?

Respectfully, none of the aforementioned examples are simple, or else humans wouldn’t have needed to leverage AI to make such substantial progress in less than 2 years.

I’ve been using AI to troubleshoot/learn after switching from Windows -> Linux 1.5 years ago. It has given me very poor advice occasionally, but it has taught me a lot more valuable info. This is not dissimilar to my experience following tutorials on the internet…

I honestly doubt I would ever pay for this shit.

I understand your perspective. Personally, I think that there’s a chicken/egg situation where free AI versions are a subpar representation that makes skeptics view AI as a whole as over-hyped. OTOH, the people who use the better models experience the benefits first hand, but are seen as AI zealots that are having the wool pulled over there eyes.

Any thoughts on the paragraph following your excerpt:

The most persuasive way you can demonstrate the reality of AI, though, is to describe how it is already being used today. Not in speculative sci-fi scenarios, but in everyday offices and laboratories and schoolrooms. And not in the ways that you already know — cheating on homework, drawing bad art, polluting the web — but in ones that feel surprising and new.

With that in mind, here are some things that AI has done in 2024.

• Cut customer losses from scams in half through proactive detection, according to the Bank of Australia.
• Preserved some of the 200 endangered Indigenous languages spoken in North America.
• Accelerated drug discovery, offering the possibility of breakthrough protections against antibiotic resistance.
• Detected the presence of tuberculosis by listening to a patient’s voice.
• Reproduced an ALS patient’s lost voice.
• Enabled persecuted Venezuelan journalists to resume delivering the news via digital avatars.
• Pieced together fragments of the epic of Gilgamesh, one of the world’s oldest texts.
• Caused hundreds of thousands of people to develop intimate relationships with chatbots.
• Created engaging and surprisingly natural-sounding podcasts out of PDFs.
• Created poetry that participants in a study say they preferred to human-written poetry in a blind test. (This may be because people prefer bad art to good art, but still.)

Can you elaborate on the AT subscriptions?

Interesting use case. I made the jump from teddit -> redlib last week after the API adjustments

Went down a similar rabbit hole earlier in the week. I couldn’t find a self-hosted option that met my needs re: sleek UI and integration w/ itch.io. I settled on just downloading GameHub. Not self-hosted, but it is open-source fwiw, my games are saved in an NFS folder and saves are accessible across devices.
