Presumably “small business” means self-employed or other employee-owned company. Not the bureaucratic nightmare that most companies are.

This is great stuff. If we can properly understand these “flows” of intelligence, we might be able to write optimized shortcuts for them, vastly improving performance.

Nah I do similar stuff. I think very few people actually trace their own lines of thought, so they probably don’t realize this is how it often works.

As long as open source AI keeps up (it has so far) it’ll enable technocommunism as much as it enables rampant capitalism.

I would agree with that if the cost of the tool was prohibitively expensive for the average person, but it’s really not.

Yes, but when the price is low enough (honestly free in a lot of cases) for a single person to use it, it also makes people less reliant on the services of big corporations.

For example, today’s AI can reliably make decent marketing websites, even when run by nontechnical people. Definitely in the “good enough” zone. So now small businesses don’t have to pay Webflow those crazy rates.

And if you run the AI locally, you can also be free of paying a subscription to a big AI company.

Agreed, this will anger young people, who need to be shaken awake to let them know that politics isn’t a fucking game. Conservatism and authoritarianism is poison, they just didn’t understand that yet.

I’m not a huge fan honestly. I think the stylized graphics are a better fit for the genre, and you get into uncanny valley a lot faster with realistic graphics.

But I mean, that’s just MY taste, I’m not going to tell anyone else what to think.

This is killing so many small businesses. I know mine is basically dead now

Eh I’m fine with the illegal harvesting of data. It forces the courts to revisit the question of what copyright really is and hopefully erodes the stranglehold that copyright has on modern society.

Let the companies fight each other over whether it’s okay to pirate every video on YouTube. I’m waiting.

I’d argue it’s part of “the fediverse” but not “The Fediverse”.
