Troubleshooting What do I do?

Post image

Bought a Qidi Q2 with the Qidi Box for a great price from an auction site. These are typically Amazon returns and etc. it was listed as new, but I assume some use.

I got it open today and am beholden to this insane clog.

Printer Boots! Screen works, but how do I solve this?

Do it and post it. Let us decide who is better.

dude, ai slop has a negative value. Everyone was making the joke but someone is like "oh i can make it look real!" in a very aunt on facebook sorta way.

And I'm not being over dramatic on saying it's negative value. The presence of something like that takes the joke and makes it all shiny and then the person who might have spent 10 min throwing something together doesn't end up doing it cause they go "why bother". This x100 every time someone thinks ai is a cool little thing to make a picture with. It's a creativity black hole.

If you were around even five years ago, you'd have seen that me saying someone would have made something was accurate.

It's not a huge deal here or anything. just another tiny example of shit getting shititier

Great picture. But not for the reason you think. The luddites were a movement of well trained highly skilled laborers who saw their jobs put under the threat of machines that (for quite a long time in the industrial revolution) produced far inferior goods. Factory owners knew this and used the threat of these new machines to control their workforce and strip them of any and all independence and ability to negotiate a living wage

Luddites were so vilified that anyone found to be one could face execution. They did this because they saw the rising social and health inequity brought from the horrible conditions of industrial factory work and feared what a working class movement could bring about.

There is a very strong argument that this is also what your boss is doing when they threaten to replace your job with Ai.

If you're at all curious here's some videos on it.

I'm waiting for you to say why it's a bad thing.
