And did anyone here try it? What’s it like for whatever photo editing you do?

Lol. $1.5M in Grok tokens. The gooning and misinformation service.

You definitely want to do it properly with something like ffmpeg. Just renaming it leaves you with a misnamed mkv file. (Or whatever is inside.) Linux is clever enough to figure that out, because in the good old days, file extensions weren’t all that important. But yeah, some other device might not. And even some Linux software might not get that. Also you won’t really change anything, a name is just a name.

Edit: I didn’t read properly… You’re doing this for other people. Maybe you should go with the conservative option, then.

(I mean if their devices already support it, there’s no harm in forgoing compatibility and just go with a more modern encoding format like HEVC or better AV1. It’s not like the next laptop or TV will be unable to play it… But H264 is certainly a safe bet. That’s supported everywhere.)

Also second the point about the container. It doesn’t really matter, just go with mkv. In the unlikely case it doesn’t work, you can always take the video an put it in a different container. That kind of conversion is fast and without loss.

Gibt’s vielleicht eine Möglichkeit der Preiserhöhung formell zu widersprechen, ohne selber zu kündigen? Dann hätten die das Problem da raus zu kommen. Letztlich können solche Preisanpassungen aber auch rechtens sein, das kommt auf die Details an.

And I think he wouldn’t even care. I mean he’s himself actively making an effort to get out of the relationship and replace himself by an AI. At that point it doesn’t even matter if he’s doing it, she’s doing it and whether the replacement is made up of flesh and bones or electricity. He’s dispensable.

Just to let you know: I read those articles as well. And I think I get some of what you say. But as far as I know there’s broad consensus amongst people like neuroscientists how LLMs aren’t conscious or sentient.

They’re input-output-machines, very dissimilar to a human brain for example. Designed to mimick language. And LLMs are good at that. Very convincing. Still, once you look inside, they don’t have any capacity to remember stuff, don’t have a state of mind, they can’t learn, aren’t influenced by something like an experience because it doesn’t change them in any way or form. They do some forward-calculations and that’s it. Nothing sticks inside.

And the leading theories about consciousness kinda require an entity to be able to learn from an experience. Or being able to remember or being influenced by experiences. Large Language Models are closer to a lookup-table (like an encyclopedia) than they are to cognitive processes in a human brain.

That’s what science tells us about where we are with AI right now. I’d say it’s a bit like a stuffed animal versus a real animal. They kinda look similar if you squint hard enough. But there’s no evidence they’re the same. Even less so once you have a look inside.

Hmm. What’s with income tax? I think I could just become unemployed and save on income tax as well? Not own any land, property, businesses, cars, money etc and those kinds of taxes wouldn’t apply to me either? Is there even any mandatory tax by that definition?

Well, technically they didn’t call you a Zizian, they asked if you were. You said no and that was it. And I’m not sure if the other person was being serious or not. Maybe “AI doesn’t exist” was just their way of phrasing they think AI isn’t really intelligent and they think the term is a misnomer.

Thanks! I didn’t know this existed. It’d solve a lot of my grief with AI coding if we just added transparency like this.

I think NGram has a good point. Your conversation style is a contributing factor. You’ll engage in all kinds of arguments about details. Sometimes the dialogue drifts to a personal level… And that just ends you up at opposing sides with other people. And tricky discussions about disagreements.

We can have a bit of control here. Usually good advise is to focus on positivity. Talk more to people when you think it’ll lead to something constructive. Cut conversations short if you think they don’t go anywhere… At least that’s how I do it. Not all the time. I also love picking fights (sometimes). But it is a bit tricky to judge what’s a reflection to own conversation style, what’s legitimate opinion and what’s just wrong facts. If we even know the real deal.

And then AI is a polarizing topic. People have strong opinions towards it, for good reasons. And we’ll read about all of them on most online discussion places.

Yes. OP is fine as per the community rules. I was going for how there isn’t disclosure on the project page. It’s just in a post which is a reply to another post. So only Lemmy users will know. But maybe that’s alright.

Yeah, I think the room is divided. You got a lot of upvotes. In fact I think you mainly got upvoted?!? Seems those people think you did alright. Some people also disliked something about it.

Sometimes you can’t make them all happy. I’d say be as transparent as possible. Just be honest. It doesn’t really matter whether random internet people think you are. What matters is what you are. And you’re the one person who knows the facts. Just be genuine and upfront. Set your assistant to reveal itself in the commits. Add information in the Readme about what’s AI and what’s human. Add a paragraph on if you’re planning to maintain the project (you did that). That way everyone knows what to expect. And then have fun coding stuff. Stay positive. If a handful of people tell you they’re using your stuff and they’re glad it exists, you probably contributed something to the world.

Edit: Similarly, if someone like me decides to question your coding style, you’re free to have a conversation about it. Or decide not to discuss it. That’s up to you. I just opened a conversation. And by your usage of words like “fuck” and “shit” I figured you’d be open to a more direct conversation style, so I just skipped polishing my sentences and just straight up said what’s on my mind.

And from what I heard the parking brake doesn’t just lock up the wheels… It’s not even connected to the front wheels. So you’re missing most of the braking power. And that’s also a reason why it’s good for drifting.

Wonder how cars with electronic stuff deal with the legal requirement for there to be a second brake available.

I feel in this case you should just publish it on Github anyway. But skip the advertisement post in some general Lemmy community. I think that’s a good compromise. And transparency is very welcome. It doesn’t feel that way in some public discussion by random people online. But we also got a lot of people who appreciate it.

I think the only logical procedure is, they suspect that person of hiding that kind of information, and they start digging for evidence against them.

Do cars even have emergency brakes? As far as I know they handled emergencies by providing you with two separate systems. But if you activate the parking brake, you turn into a drift car.

I think it used to be on all Mercedes-Benz cars. Until everything in cars became electronic buttons.

Sure. Though I kinda struggle with those kinds of arguments. Because the Chinese definitely think this kind of theft is alright. And the Americans are a-okay with any kind of ripoff, as long as it’s big nasty companies doing it.

As far as I remember we had a hunch you weren’t completely honest with us because some of the code and design smells of AI as well. The rest is just crazy, like the spacebar and enter key on your keyboard are jammed.

And not sure if disclosing it in some reply is all that great. IMO there should be a “co-authored by …-AI” in the commits. And transparency in the Readme, where people actively look for that kind of information. You didn’t do that.
