He also solved the crime by knowing the plot in advance

anon is a closet gay confirmed

I tried to ask Oracle, but they just redirected me to the manuals and closed the ticket

The door on the bottom right looks like a fridge, the thing in the middle looks like a door, there’s enough empty space there to put a damn bed in there.

State run social media only for state profiles. Let the people have their own stuff otherwise. The whole idea of the fediverse can accommodate both. The piece even gives a passing mention to mastodon.

They can be smaller, similar to the forums that have been around since the internet’s heyday, but consolidated as “spaces where we can maintain slightly more meaningful relationships.” | These projects don’t have to aspire to be the great public square where everyone gathers, because, sometimes, we just want to talk to our neighbors;

I’m basing it mostly from personal and family experience. My mom often ends up watching AI made videos (stuff that’s just an AI narrator and AI images slideshow), my RPG group has poked fun at the amount of AI books that Amazon keeps suggesting them, anyone using instagram will, sooner or later, see adverts of famous people endorsing bogus products or sites via the magic of AI

The apparent main use for AI thus far is spam and scam, which is what I was thinking about when dismissing most content made with that. While the internet was already chock full of that before AI, its availability is increasing those problems tenfold

Yes, people use it for other things, like “art”, but most people using it for “art” are trying to get a quick buck ASAP before customers get too smart to fall for it. Writers already had a hard time getting around, now they have to deal with a never ending deluge of AI books, plus the risk of a legally distinct enough copy of their work showing up the next day.

Put it another way, the major use of AI thus far is “i want to make money without effort”

They want you to believe that analyzing things without permission somehow goes against copyright, when in reality, fair use is a part of copyright law, and the reason our discourse isn’t wholly controlled by mega-corporations and the rich.

Ok, but is training an AI so it can plagiarize, often verbatim or with extreme visual accuracy, fair use? I see the 2 first articles argue that it is, but they don’t mention the many cases where the crawlers and scrappers ignored rules set up to tell them to piss off. That would certainly invalidate several cases of fair use

Instead of charging for everything they scrap, law should force them to release all their data and training sets for free. “But they spent money and time and resources!” So did everyone who created the stuff they’re using for their training, so they can fuck off.

The article by Tory also says these things:

This facilitates the creation of art that simply would not have existed and allows people to express themselves in ways they couldn’t without AI. (…) Generative AI has the power to democratize speech and content creation, much like the internet has.

I’d wager 99.9% of the art and content created by AI could go straight to the trashcan and nobody would miss it. Comparing AI to the internet is like comparing writing to doing drugs.

Sell cocaine in Paris, probably

Brazil and most Latin American countries are also safe pirate havens, unless you set up a for-profit piracy site, then you’re painting a huge target on your head.

In the case of games, this is doubly problematic due to patches and updates. People can still play Fortnite and Overwatch today, but they can no longer play those games as they were in 2018. Anyone that never played previous versions can only read changelogs to get an idea of what changed and when.

“Inanimate objects up your ass don’t make you gay” - that guy’s mom

The hardest thing to believe is that call centers still had humans somewhere to call/answer calls

Besides, some garbage can be turned into entertainment. AVGN and all the youtube poop using CD-i Zelda wouldn’t be the same

Blender’s UI overhaul from 2.7 to 2.8 was a much needed and very welcome update as well

“Convert Theodore” looks a hell lot like the hat-tipping M’lady mister

Almost all the converts I meet have opted to home-school their offspring, partly because they believe women should prioritise their families rather than their careers.

Welp, that alone says a lot.

Father Moses says Orthodoxy is “not masculine, it is just normal”, while “in the West everything has become very feminised”.

Hahahaha, no. The only normal is humans wanting to form groups with like-minded people and, sometimes, making that group appear very different from another group, aka schismogenesis - https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Schismogenesis

Some - in America and other countries - see Russia as the last bastion of true Christianity

Eeehh, given that the orthodox christians are likely closer to the root christianity than the western christians, that is not “too wrong” to assume, I guess. Then again, the orthodox did hunt down several “heretical” christians, some of which likely were “more christian” than them.

Can we exploit the shit out of the game within the first 10 minutes? Because that’s one of the most important aspects of bethesda games

One thing that always caught my attention from the posters is that 50ft would be as tall as a 4 story building, give or take, while the ladies look much bigger, like they were drawn with 50 metres in mind

Pretty sure the 10ft mommy woman attack was covered by Resident Evil 8

I’ve been using baggy jeans for around 20 years now, I don’t intend to stop. Fuck the fashion police!
