STEM lords:

Gommunism authoritarian totalitarian jorjorwell 1984, look at Stalin memory holing people to gaslight the citizenry!

Also STEM lords:

Epic bacon bazinga! I can alter memories with my artificial intelligencerinos!

And people applaud this. At the same time you’ll be seeing more articles asking why suicide rates have skyrocketed and that young people feel more alienated than ever.

It's become more normalized and somehow more offputting than when everyone you know would add heavy gaussian blur to look... idk younger? Prettier? I honestly don't get it because the blurred photos look awful to me.

The commercials where they show a parent editing their child's beach picture or whatever are so bleak.

I haven't had to see those yet, but if that's what's being normalized now... this is a new level of bleak bazinga clownishness that I didn't even know was possible.

I intentionally bought a polaroid specifically for memories with my daughter that i could have ready nearly instantly. i still use 35mm on occasion, but that takes a bit more time and set up than a toddler can afford.

Death to Meta

lol Pixel also has an "Add Me" feature to add people that weren't there to your photos

I don't know, as someone who liked using Photoshop to do silly stuff (back when I had access to Photoshop), the idea of making it easy and practical to do on a phone sounds fun. I just don't want AI to do it to photos I didn't ask to edit. Stay tf out of my stuff

Chip manufacturers and cloud services providers lol

Tbh I can easily see a world where this feature gets positive user metrics because of Instagram brained dweebs sharing these photos to make their lives look more exciting

People in CS-related fields who want to look like they can code but can’t

This already happens sometimes for highlight reels but they're actually pretty good at predicting when somebody has left your life whether a breakup, death, or friendship ruined

Also the general public/user base does not care at all if it doesn't happen to them personally lol

Yep and it uses offline, local models (well, assuming you're the one running the Immich instance)

Immich is amazing.

There's also Immich, which is scheduled to become stable this year, so no more breaking changes with updates. I've been hosting it for the last year and it's still undergoing rapid development, but other than that, it's been great for me.

Never used it but looks cool af. I've sent my resume in before but they're not hiring :(

I'm trying to self host more and more, thanks for this it looks dope as hell.

I need to suck it up and get myself a dedicated server instead of running everything off my wife's gaming rig lol.

Whats that?

I don't think any phones are close to powerful enough to do that yet are they? Isn't computer vision really intensive or something

ios actually does this, i can search for generic terms like "cat" or "panda" to find exclusively images/videos of those animals, but i can also search for a specific person (if their face is visible in the picture i want to search for) and they're also categorized like that

This post is the research. I am the primary source
