And sometimes the network improves,depending on the quality or direction of the output,the client can a valuable critic even without being an expert in the field
You didn't make a point. Training generative models on their own output after filtering for quality is a well known technique for improving image quality for a single mode. This can happen automatically when generated images become popular on the internet.
"Excellent, let's see how your car goes faster when you push the gas pedal"
If you are saying that hypothetical client knows a better song/artwork/code from worse, boy are you in for disappointment...
My point was that insane amounts of curated fully original works were required to get the output of these generative tools to the "occasionally impressive" level it is at now, and those original works exist precisely thanks to copyright. To say "oh we don't need copyright now" is to saw off the branch on which this hinges.
If you are into this stuff and want to see it become better you should rather promote copyright and differentiation of fully original works.
It's kind of a shame the Ubuntu phone never really materialized. At one point a while back I put off a much needed upgrade from a nearly dead phone for about 6 months because their phone was supposed to be "any day now".
I think the OS is still kicking around and technically not dead yet, but it's really hard to believe that it would be able to break into the OEM side of things at this point. If Microsoft couldn't buy their way in to it I don't see much hope for a group that wouldn't be paying massive amounts of money to handset manufacturers and carriers to support the development & deployment. Though I'd be happy if it were simply possible to flash it onto most Android handsets with full hardware compatibility.
That's pretty great! I hope it gets some momentum and matures a bit. I don't insist on flag-ship level specs & polish, but this it looks a little rough around the edges for my taste.
You're not quite seeing the point: This is not a developer trying to use their ecosystem for free, not in the OnePlus example: This is a developer saying "Thanks but no thanks, we'll choose a different ecosystem"
And Google inserts itself into the relationship between the business partner for that other ecosystem and bullies them into cancelling the deal.
Off course it's important to keep in mind that as of right now, we have only Epic's highly self-interested interpretation of events, and the truth may be far different. It seems LG for example had a pre-existing contract with Google to not do the sort of thing it was about to do with Epic.
