Well maybe, micro work is really dehumanizing and cognitively rough. I hear some US inmates do work at McDonalds and if I had to choose between that and microwork, and if time I spent working was the same with both options, I would take the fastfood job any day. At least have done that before irl so I know what to expect.

I’m ADHD in IT job, and my mind would explode if work I did with computer was just unskilled datasorting job.

But I do know US inmates have basically slave conditions. But I read a book about microwork and it sounds like psychological torture to me. Like what they do in Severance.

(Work without worker is the book)

I hear they do micro work for mechanical turk in some Finnish prisons. It is optional, but surely won’t teach you anything at all about tech.

Exactly. I know someone who is really smart and works in machine learning and when I listen to him in isolation, AI sounds like actually useful thing. Most people just are not smart like that, and most applications for AI are not very useful.

One of the things I often think is that AI makes it possible to do things that shouldn’t be done very easily and fast, that would had previously been too much effort or craft for some people, like now they can easily make website for whatever grift they are pushing.

This is not by default bad thing, if it is something you only use when you decide to do so, when you don’t have other subtitles available tbh. I hate AI slop too but people just go to monkey brain rage mode when they read AI and stop processing any further information.

I’d still always prefer human translated subtitles if possible. However, right now I’m looking into translating entire book via LLM cause it would be only way to read that book, as it is not published in any language I speak. I speak English well enough, so I don’t really need subtitles, just like to have them on so I won’t miss anything.

For English language movies, I’d probably just watch them without subtitles if those were AI, as I don’t really need them, more like nice to have in case I miss something. For languages I don’t understand, it might be good, although I wager it will be quite bad for less common languages.

Same, but apparently android app is no longer supported since google play was too annoying for the developer. So wondering how long I can keep it up.

Probably not too much so his big tech friends can scrape all data they need.

Only just downloaded previous alpha to decide it will become my daily driver once it’s more finished.

to add, if one does not want to use CLI, Axiom is great UI for ffmppeg where you can do the less advanced stuff. https://axiomui.github.io/

Nature is healing

EVs can’t save us. There is a future with renewables, but it isn’t one of infinite growth and attempting to do that isn’t gonna work well.

I’m currently chancing jobs due to fact that while we are getting rid of the legacy tech debt, we are rushing with the new stuff in a such stupid way that we are instantly building new tech debt. Change, hooray!

My ass probably could appreciate real performance if I was into audiobooks overall, I just like books as books. I’m not exactly happy about all content being replaced with AI slop. However I don’t think spotify cares, if something is cheaper they will go for it, just like other corpos.

Oh well I think they will be losing as well, people don’t even really need the audio book providers anymore, since they could just do AI ebooks themselves if they just have the text ebook.

Audio books are no longer expensive to produce. I bet my ass most except for the biggest titles will be AI generated in very short time. Whether people like it or not.

If someone unironically wore gloves like that I would bully them without hesitation.

Welcome aboard.

Some fork of youtube-dl would probably do. Personally I use JDownloader 2 (open source) to download not just from youtube but from any other sites as well. It runs locally.

I’m a bit disappointed to the practical uses, but I still get some value out of AI. I sometimes use chatgpt to tweak existing SQL scripts at work, and as a trouble shooting assistant. Also I use this tool ultimate vocal remover to extract stems from songs, mainly to make myself instrumentals to practice singing over. Those are really only things I do regularly, despite trying different self hosted AI tools. Most are cool but not very useful.

Hell yeah. Saw Bodom live like 5 times before Alexi died.

Oh damn, 28 weeks is far better movie IMO though. Scarier, and the concept of rebuilding after zombie outbreak and having another outbreak despite safety measures is much more interesting than traditional zombie story.

Not the movie itself, but once I downloaded 28 days later, and found Finnish subtitle for it cause at the time I still needed those. In the subtitles word “fuck” was translated to “hole bread” in Finnish. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ruisreikäleipä Also at the end it said “Subtitles by your Dad”

Other time I downloaded Children Of Bodom’s Blooddrunk before release and got Bullet For My Valentine’s Scream Aim Fire instead with file names renamed as Bodom’s track names. IDK why but now I like both bands.
