@obrhoff Nonrhetorical question, what type of innovation do you want to see exactly?

@obrhoff Happy birthday!

The Open Source Movement has proven that, in a technical context, sharing and transparency has tremendous advantages and benefits for everyone involved.

It is time for governments, societies, economies, cultures, families and individuals alike to take these ideals of cooperation to heart, so we can all thrive as a species. Let's work together, not against one another.

We can do this.

Progress on the new lappy. Debian Bookworm, Gnome 3 and lots of migrating app configs + data. It's starting to feel like a home :)

@FlashMobOfOne @ghorwood Hopefully it will reduce the population by means of a reduced desire of the purchasers to procreate ;)

@BeAware Sorry, definitely never meant to attack your emotions. I get where you're coming from and appreciate you explaining your perspective. If it makes you happy, I have no right to try to say it's not valid. That's what art is supposed to do. My point was that I'd *rather* see your stick figures than this generated piece because...well, it's like would I rather hear your own voice or a text-to-speech voice from your own typed transcript? Even if your voice was horse from a cold? Yes I would.

@BeAware Absolutely. I don't throw shade on those who wish to create with these tools, but can only try to encourage them to create more directly. Art = self-expression and generative AI, IMO, is a proxy to that expression which can never do the job as 'accurately' as one can themselves.

@BeAware You are. But your AI generated art is not created by you.

There are so many "left-brain" domains in which technology surpasses humans. Math and logic, memory/recall, accuracy, all done at blindingly fast speed. We simply can't compete. AI can and is accelerating how this all works.

HOWEVER.. When I look at AI generated art, it's hollow. It wasn't created by a person with real emotions, so the connection simply isn't there for me.

I hope that humanity eventually concludes that we don't *want* AI in the creative space.
