Library Genesis worked pretty great and unmolested until news came out about Meta using it, at which point a bunch of the main sites disappeared off the net. So not only do these companies take ALL the pirated material, their act of doing so even borks the pirates, ruining the fun of piracy for everyone else.
I can talk as a non American: it's the same everywhere in the countries where no new jobs are created. It's maybe less visible when the law is more protective, but at the end a social security net is still a net and works only as long as the rest is sturdy
Last time I checked, most people needed a "jerb" to buy food, have a shelter or provide their children. So when the promise is to lose this "jerb" they are fully in the right to be scared.
I would like for an AI to do my work, unfortunately I have to buy food and pay my rent.
The Industrial Revolution caused a great deal of damage. It was a net positive in the long term because new jobs were created to replace those that were lost, but it took decades and enormous violence. Now, the promise of AI is that it will be more efficient than any human being. If this becomes a reality, there will be, by definition, no new jobs created for the people replaced by AI.
Money is a tool that has no value by itself. Billionaires are billionaires because they get a much bigger part of the work their group is producing (the group can be one company, a region, a country or the whole world depending on how you see things). If AI does the work instead of people, it will change nothing for them.
You can be optimistic (it will self regulate and everyone will benefit from AI) or pessimistic (only the billionaire class will benefit from AI). But in any case, there will be no need to sell products or share if there is a class of artificial slaves that can replace workers
You're wrong, it explains what you can do with this pocket computer. Of course you could do the same and more with any standard device but the point here is to have a small cheap device to play and hack, not be a replacement for a MacBook.
I'm using AI for 2 things: as a very good autocompleter, and as a partial replacement for a now crap google search.
I regularly try the agent mode (recently google's antigravity), but I was two issue that always come back. The first one is technical: if I'm always amazed the first 10-15mn, after a while the agent get stuck, and I would spend more time trying to make it to the job properly than looking directly and making changes myself. The second one is practical: I don't like to not know and understand what the LLM did, so I have to spend a lot of time trying to understand the code
