  • In a competitive market, there would be no reason to invest hundreds of billions of dollars into LLMs which are unprofitable, inaccurate, and have very limited use cases.

    That’s not how capitalism works at all. Companies are spending money on AI because they need to compete against other companies. You might not like it for all the very good reasons you gave, but consumers are using AI so companies are trying to provide it. In the absence of competition, companies do not spend money chasing risky new revenue streams but milk their existing base.

    If there was only Microsoft, and no other software company on the planet, Microsoft would not spend money on AI because they wouldn’t need to.

    A big part of Marx’s criticism of capitalism is the waste it creates through duplication of effort.

    That is a fundamentally incorrect interpretation of what a director does.

    Then explain where my analogy fails.

    Ultimately, due to how subjective the idea of art is there’s nothing I can say to convince you that this perspective is wrong.

    You can change my mind by explaining how a director is different than what I’ve seen in hundreds of behind the scenes commentaries and documentaries on movie creation. To be more specific, some directors are also writers, storyboarders or cinematographers. But those are additional jobs that not all directors do.

    because it’s so incorrect,

    You need to explain why it is incorrect.

    ai generated art didn’t create itself. someone typed in text and uploaded an image that they wanted manipulated. Movie directors only give instructions to actors. They don’t create the sets/costumes. They don’t write the words. They only give instructions and they get awards for being artists.




  • The Anycubic has presets for .4 and .6 in brass or hardened steel. It’s only missing .2.

    I couldn’t care less. Drying is done in an oven.

    You can’t claim the S1 is incomplete for not having a .2 nozzle presets and then turn around and say that a built in filament dryer doesn’t matter when Bambu made it a pro feature. Especially when .4 is what you get out of the box from Bambu and .2 requires modifying your printer by swapping the hot end.

    Bought the P1S combo (AMS 1) for 636

    Where? I see 800€ everywhere.

    And where I “go after” Bambu is what you didn’t mention: locked down firmware and no alternative slicer.
