There are sandwich artists and sanitation engineers. Everyone knows they get paid like crap.
Unfortunately “prompt engineers” seem to be getting paid small fortunes when their job is essentially using a massive amount of computing power to commit various levels of intellectual property theft they hope no one will notice.
The problem is artists often make their actual living doing basic boiler plate stuff that gets forgotten quickly.
In graphics it’s Company logos, advertising, basic graphics for businesses.
In writing it’s copy for websites, it’s short articles, it’s basic stuff.
Very few artists want to do these things, they want to create the original work that might not make money at all. That work potentially being a winning lottery ticket but most often being an act of expressing themselves that doesn’t turn into a payday.
Unfortunately AI is taking work away from artists. It can’t seem to make very good art yet but it can prevent artists who could make good art getting to the point of making it.
It’s starving out the top end of the creative market by limiting the easy work artists could previously rely on to pay the bills whilst working on the big ideas.
No it doesn’t.
It’s meant to illustrate a change and it does so perfectly fine. It’s not a scientific paper.
It’s a 32-34% increase looking at the graph. That’s significant enough to shout about.
Imagine any change you could make surprising competition by 25% in any market. That’s huge.
During setup there is a keyboard shortcut to get to command prompt.
Then a command you can use.
Then the machine restarts and you can setup without a Microsoft account.
(For reference I’m on my dual booting Linux phase. I’d like to ditch it altogether but Wayland isn’t quite there yet and x never will be.)
A Nokia.
5 years of security updates. Cheap. Repairability commitment.
Headphone Jack Dual SIM
Very good camera.
I’d prefer a smaller phone too but my main problem is fairphone ditched the headphones jack.
Then sold Bluetooth earbuds.
They don’t care about electronic waste, they want their customers to throw away wired headphones and buy earbuds with batteries and wireless.
No headphone jack means fairphone now encourage Bluetooth earbuds and electronic waste.
They’re dead to me.
Definitely a hoarder too, but too much is on for them to not be using any of it.
A lot of radio equipment.
BBC News on the monitor.
Maps of Iran on the wall.
I’d bet on amateur/independent journalist picking up as much radio traffic as possible.
Soon. Oura rings exist so they could be an alternative.
Invis make straps without sensors but with NFC payments.
There’s clearly a market for rings as fitness trackers so people can avoid a watch altogether
Wanting a watch strap is a bit more niche but it’ll come around as a product I’m sure.
As a public, we’ve gone back to the days when the internet was a techies platform.
The difference now is it’s a techies platform Vs. a corporate platform.
The more convenient FOSS social media is, the less techie it will be, and the closer we’ll get back to the more open internet for all.
Until then we have an open internet for techies alone.
Trains are easy and they’re easily electrified already. So putting solar on the trains won’t have any advantage.
Rails are the difficult part of railways. They never seem to put them between my house and my work. They’ve put something called a road in between instead.
