Most people don't have lidar phones. The statement is still very true, even if you said US only. What are you trying to say?

DJB is a bit off his rocker and biased by selling the solution to a problem which does not exist. Reads more like a ransom note than a "good counter".

your comment somehow feels more emotionally charged and low effort than the original. here, let's continue that...

which is totally out of touch with the reality of making use of the extra qubits they just slapped on the chip to get a high number

If they don't like where you are going and they go a simpler way, I don't think they will feel left behind at all. More like dodged a pitfall.

How is this lazy again? I thought we are supposed to use the AI to be lazy.

You can make the weak argument all you want, it is still a weak argument. I get it, you think there is no such thing as an original thought therefore mass scale plagiarism (even for profit) is all cool and fine, like a technical loophole or something. Just like the music AI will create, the end result will be that nobody will want to listen to you.

Good for you. Enjoy your AI generated art. By yourself. You've missed the whole point of art.

I've seen this on SoundCloud, but that was a while ago.

Art is about the human experience of the artist reflected in the art. LLMs have no human experience. They just try to statistically trick you into thinking they made art through mass plagiarism of art. It's an illusion, and also rather boring/lame/uncool.

You can do it, sure. But you'll probably also start to wonder why nobody really wants to listen to it, and you can count me out before I do.

Sure. With rock & roll, the pencil is sometimes not large enough to rage against the machine properly and a heftier implement is necessary.

Hardware is better at this: notebook, pencil, baseball bat.

"AI art" is plagiarism and not an art at all.

So you are sorry and take it back? Should probably delete your comments rather than striking them out, as the guidelines say.

I live, work, and posted this from Texas, BTW...

Also it takes up more than one line on my screen. So, not a "one-liner" either. If you think it is, please follow the rules consistently and enforce them by deleting all comments on the site containing one sentence or even paragraph. My comment was a pretty long sentence (136 chars) and wouldn't come close to fitting in the 50 characters of a Git "one-liner".

Otherwise, people will just assume all the comments are filtered through your unpredictable and unfairly biased eye. And like I said (and you didn't answer), this kind of thing is no longer in fashion, right?

None of this is "borderline". I did nothing wrong and you publicly shamed me. Think before you start flamewars on HN. Bad mod.
