On a resume you might format this like "Skilled in setting up networked Docker images". Absolutely a valued skill and worth mentioning.

It's not actually that big a difference. I haven't had as many bugs with my AMD card (7800xt), and i do VRR on Wayland, but some games aren't optimized as well for it as its Nvidia equivalent.

I'm talking inside the context of capitalism. Yes it would be nice if we had a UBI to support people but we don't. I agree that art is fundamentally human.

Outside of the context of capitalism I'm not sure AI art would be found very useful at all because its main point at the moment is remixing the same shit everyone's seen before for profit. To make mass produced lowest-common-denominator slop.

Honestly webm is perfectly fine and free. Whenever I'm making something I always use webm and opus and it's never let me down. Opus is also fucking awesome, unequivocally the best lossy audio codec for any use. Speech and music. Low bitrate and high bitrate (which for Opus is ~160kbps).
