Yep. They are a glitch in the system. An exploitation. There's no way that any person should deserve a hundred thousand times more money than the average full time worker.

The shirt probably won't sell many units, but just wait until they release the pants.
They wouldn't have a case, since this other app can prove they've been available under that name for 4 years. However, I bet the low-ball offers to buy the app and domain have already started. I wonder what number they'll eventually settle on...
Fair point. Though I believe we can still have capitalism without such extreme wealth distribution. Tax 99% of every dollar earned above 10 mil. Make it extremely hard to reach 100 mil. Think of how much good that tax money will do for society as a whole, assuming it's used properly.
This is frustrating because that picture looks absolutely nothing like an AI generated image. The judges are paranoid and suspicious because they keep hearing about the AI boogeyman, and apparently can't be bothered to ask a more knowledgeable person before passing judgement. Of course, image synthesis will reach this quality in the near future, so what are they going to do then?
True. They have a fair bit of leverage, though. Even just renaming the competing product would probably cost Meta a small fortune. I wouldn't mind being in that situation.
Same. The fact that Lemmy has several iOS apps also sealed the deal, as I do almost all my browsing on mobile. I made an account on KBin at the same time, and an eagerly watching both to see how they develop, but Lemmy just has more to offer right now.
Hi! I'm in the same boat (or lifeboat, as it were). So far, I have to say I'm impressed with Lemmy and the various apps that are racing to become the most polished and feature-packed. I hope you find yourself at home here too.
That's the price of their previous model, and the article suggests that this one will be quite a bit more expensive. Definitely not a "projector beater" if you don't have around ten grand burning a hole in your pocket.
Maybe writing assignments should be done in class, instead of at home. Anything you let students complete in their own time has always been open to cheating, via calculators, excessive help from parents, or straight up paying someone online to write it for you. This isn't really any different, albeit a bit faster and cheaper. You always need to stand behind a kid and watch them work if you want to be sure they're really doing it themselves.
This is exactly right. But since it requires everyone to make a change all at once, it unfortunately can never happen in the US.
Totally agree. Discussions are more engaging here, and posts are more relevant to their communities. You'll hear some people try to explain that this is just due to the smaller user base, and it'll quickly become less friendly as it gains more people... but I don't think so. For one, the lack of an overall "score" for each user (like Reddit's karma) means there is no value in creating re-posting bots that try to capture the maximum number of upvotes by copying older successful material. Less bots posting old content means more real people posting current ideas.
Fair enough. I'm surprised there isn't a more obvious release date on the front section of the App Store. Might be useful to know how long a product has been available.
I also pay for premium, so I don't have to worry about ads. But that only covers the first extension on this list. The others are all useful and still not available with premium.
Both, and only both. Never just one or the other.
The first and last points are hitting me so hard right now, even just one day after Apollo's demise. Being able to scrub through a video or GIF was so incredibly useful. You could pause it by holding your finger still, then move back and forth by swiping left or right, even frame by frame if you wanted. I miss that more than I thought I would.
Also, hiding posts I've already seen (or scrolled past) was another lifesaver. One thing I notice on Lemmy (I'm simultaneously testing Mlem, Memmy and wefwef) is that I keep seeing the same posts over and over. Every few hours I open an app to my home page, and scroll through the same few dozen posts that are popular that day, only seeing something new between every five or six familiar posts. Apollo never showed me the same post twice unless I specifically bookmarked it. Much less wasted time.
Is there a way to trick the App Store into displaying the wrong age for your app? Because if not, then this app is 4 years old and Meta is actually stealing their name.
Ah, that makes sense. Thanks!
How is it fair for big companies with a lot of money to take creators’ work, without (or minimal) paying/attributing them, while those companies then use these technologies to make more money?
Because those works were put online, at a publicly accessible location, and not behind a paywall or subscription. If literally anyone on the planet can see your work just by typing a URL into their browser, then you have essentially allowed them to learn from it. Also, it's not like there are copies of those works stored away in some database somewhere, they were merely looked at for a few seconds each while a bunch of numbers went up and down in a neural network. There is absolutely not enough data kept to reproduce the original work.
Besides, if OpenAI (or other companies in the same business) had to pay a million people for the rights to use their work to train an AI model, how much do you think they'd be able to pay? A few dollars? Why bother seeking that kind of compensation at all?
That's a good point! I admit I avoided sorting by "new" on Reddit just because of the sheer amount of garbage that was posted, especially in popular subreddits. But this is a whole new community and that's definitely less of a problem. I'll give it a shot, thanks!
The Halfway Post is a satirical news site, so no, there is no evidence that Grindr said this or could actually do it. Still, it would be hilarious.
