I don't particularly use generative IAs that create Alt Text from images, but I've seen a lot of people who do use them and I think that's the only use of AI from which I can't draw anything negative.

The fact is that there are many people who do not know how to make a good Alt Text, and therefore either do not put them or put one that is only the word "photo/image", which is much worse.

I think if AI had started there, as a tool to help accessibility, it wouldn't have the stigma it has today.

But of course, there are not enough blind people in the world from whom to get absurdly, ridiculously, vulgarly obscene amounts of profit...

I'm talking about games that you still like but you had no idea were criticized so much.

The perfect example for me is Sonic Unleashed.

I admit that the game has its bad things, but I would have never imagined that it was so hated at the time... Although, that could be extended to the entire Sonic franchise, since for many years I was not aware at all of that "Sonic was never good", "Sonic had a rough transition to 3D" nonsense.

The natural order: first the remake of the second game, then the first, then the third and then forget about The Room because nobody liked that game (I did, I like The Room).

The instance I'm in, TKZ.one, has 41%. Good number! But can get better!

When you don't have enough money, you have no choice but to be smarter and more resourceful. You have to learn, you have to look for other alternatives, be aware of where you are going, where you step when walking and, if you slip, to get up and take note of your mistakes. You can't afford to be stupid or look stupid, otherwise your life, which is already hard, will get worse.

But when you are rich? It doesn't fucking matter at all. You can make the biggest fuck up that a human being can do in his whole life; be deceived and swindled for amounts equivalent to a person's 5-year salary, over and over again; you can believe all the fakenews and pseudosciences that humanity has created; you can screw up as many times as you want... You will still be rich, you will still be opulent, you will still be able to make more mistakes.

While all of us are one accident or a serious illness away from ending up in economic ruin, the rich don't stop being rich even by dying.

Obvious? Yes, but it doesn't hurt to remember.

What OpenAI and similar companies want to achieve is for us to literally let them think for us with their AI, for them to "think" the ideas for us, reason for us, make the decisions for us, and be the creative and intellectual engine of humanity. "For world domination?", no, just for profit.

They want to make us dependent on their services so they can then charge us a fortune for their regurgitated ideas. Cuz at this moment the only way to make insane amounts of profit is to take away form us all that we want and need. Our labor, our attention, our reasoning, Everything.

The fucking AI is like the antithesis of King Midas; everything it touches turns to shit.

I am in the process of building my own PC. Nothing fancy, just something that is much more powerful than the old PC I currently have. I've been using Linux on my laptop for a few years now (KDE Neon), and I'm very happy with it, I would like to put Linux on my next PC, but I have my doubts...

I don't know if I should stay with the distro I already use or if there is one that better suits my needs.

On the one hand, I'm a graphic designer but I've been using only FOSS for many years, I only use Adobe in the office (reluctantly). On the other hand, I have seen that thanks to Steam with Proton gaming on linux is getting better and better. What I don't know is if SteamOS can be good not only for gaming.

I would like to know if there is a distro that works well both for gaming and designing using FOSS (like Krita, Inkscape, KDEnlive, etc) or if it's ok to stick with KDE Neon.

If the number of comments were also the same I would lose my mind.
