So the killer functionality this article is touting is:
Yes. The killer functionality is that Threads finally is a real Twitter competitor like people have been claiming. But I think that is a good thing, because I want to see Musk looking like a dumbass blowing $44 billion when Twitter goes bankrupt.
Because it works exactly for the thing it was designed to do, and does it well. Like asking why we still use hammers to pound nails in after a thousand years. Some things are going to stick around for a long while and not just go away because "progress". I fully expect some form of Ethernet to still be used 50-100 years from now just like analog phone lines are still used now, and those are over 100 years old.
Unfortunately I don’t believe artists have any current legal recourse for this and, honestly, I’m not sure they require one.
Legal Eagle has a great review of common legal questions with court judgements on some. The bullet points are that an artist’s style isn’t protected by copyright and training and AI on an artist’s work can be considered fair use.
Asking an AI to draw art that looks like it was done by Greg Rutkowski is no different than asking a human artist to do the same thing. The human artist would look at Rutkowski’s works and do their best to copy the style of it. As long as the artist doesn’t recreate an identical looking piece, it’s not copyright infringement.
If artists could copyright their style it would stifle creativity. Same thing if artists could prevent their work from being used as instructional or reference materials.
The Pebble Time 2 is still my holy grail of watches:
Acceptable looking in any setting
a week-long battery life with always on display
fitness tracking
good notification support with ability to dismiss or take further action
custom watch faces AND apps
I'm rocking an Amazfit GTS 1 now and it fills some of those demands, but I'm still waiting for something with a UX that felt as great as Pebble did. I'm happy you've found satisfaction with a Garmin, but I'm not sure I'd like to go back to something with such a large bezel.
@adduc aww the Pebble was amazing. I owned the original and what would be deemed as the colour version and loved them to bits. Such a shame it ended the way it did and the larger screen colour version never released.
