I’m genuinely shocked that people thought it was a good idea to put any of that into Muse in the first place.
She says she supports neither party but is a “left of center liberal.” However she doesn’t seem to know what those words mean, and spends most of her time complaining about “wokeness” and how people are mean to Israel. If you’ve got 30 minutes, John Oliver did a thing last year when she took over, predicting this headline https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gieTx_P6INQ
Most who’ve tried to do professional-level stuff report that it doesn’t really work. When first released, the “developer” said he “one-shotted Photoshop, the whole thing.” Then he back-peddled all the way to, “It’s just an alpha release give us a year.” Now I guess it’s a month again? Whatever. It’s a UI framework with some basic functionality. There are free alternatives created by real developers, which have greater feature parity. Why does everyone want to think this knock-off junk is the nail in Adobe’s coffin when Affinity and Photopea weren’t? (Yes I realize there are other applications in the suite.)
The guy who makes this is also not really great or trustworthy. He enjoys seeing people lose their jobs to AI, and exuberantly telling everyone that AI made him rich, if it didn’t make you rich than you didn’t “dream enough” and are doomed.
For years he’s made bizarre claims like by the end of 2025 AI will kill the entertainment industry, and AI will enable us to upload our brains and colonize the moon. He regularly takes weird, aggressive positions about every day things, like the economic impacts of owning a bicycle and whether or not a woman can ride one while menstruating.
He clearly suffers from delusions of grandeur and AI psychosis, but worse is that a lot of this is just marketing. This Adobe thing is not a benevolent endeavor to democratize software. Its purpose appears to be to bring attention to his token-reselling AI image and video generation service. He also owns FakeYou, a commercial service used to create audio deepfakes and do voice cloning for scams. To me it doesn’t look like he wants to erase Adobe for the good of mankind; rather he wants to usurp and replace them with his own nickel-and-dimed-for-tokens scheme.
The person behind all these *craft projects has (or claims to have) made millions from his AI image / video creation services and scam-enabling deepfake voice cloner. The projects are linked to and funded by his commercial endeavors. He’s also extremely exuberant about real developers and creators losing their jobs, and suffers from massive AI psychosis. Unfortunately I don’t think he or this project is going anywhere.
I don’t think any of it will ever actually work, but he’s very good at making outlandish comments and drumming up hype, so we’re going to keep hearing about it anyway.
Please stop reposting this fake news.
This was “passed” by 10 socialists, out of a 577-person council, who held an essentially secret vote to guarantee the proposal was “approved.” This is a political trick. No one supports this. It will not pass.
In the U.S. this would be like if the 3 representatives from Wyoming and the Dakotas had a slumber party and the “caucus” decided to push a bill that required all children in the country to read the bible before going to bed, and then everyone on the internet started saying “U.S. lawmakers approve bill to force children to read the bible!!!” There’s a ridiculous amount of information being intentionally left out of that headline to get you to click it, and to encourage lazy “I only read the headline” and updoot farmers like the OP to repost it.
Here is an article that actually explains this, not some dried up old internet message board desperate for clicks. https://tech-insider.org/french-lawmakers-per-gigabyte-internet-traffic-tax-11-10-vote-2026/
PROTIP: If something on the internet outrages you or seems completely insane, it’s probably fake. Spend 10 seconds in Google before freaking out in comments and being an easily manipulated rube.
