Jesus fucking christ.

And here I thought AI was gonna promote nuclear power…

He is not a king

People sure do act like he is

Smells like a dodged bullet, tho

The void gave me the middle finger u_u

How would “a vision” make it less of a ripoff? If I’m just making art to fulfill my employers demands and nothing more, that doesn’t suddenly make it a “ripoff” of all the artists that I learned from.

Pretty much all popular image generating models are based on countless artworks by real artists, which were used without the artists consent.

My art is also based on countless works of real artists, and I didn’t need their consent to put pen to paper (or tablet, rather). Media like Courage the Cowardly Dog, Goodnight Punpun and Majora’s Mask taught me how to incorporate surrealism into my work, and I don’t need permission from those creators to use what I learned in my game.

If I tried putting Courage, Punpun or Link in my game, that’d be a different story. And when generative AI companies do that, that’s also a different story… But I have to give credit where it’s due, as much as I don’t like OpenAI they have done a better job at complying with copyright law better than YouTube. I’ve even had ChatGPT refuse my prompts when I’m not trying to get it to generate copyrighted material.

I do agree with your other points though, and I think we’d both agree that machine learning is a net negative for the world. I’m not on the side of big corporations, I just don’t think this argument is really good for anything except getting people emotionally charged.

You know how people say LaCroix tastes like carbonated water that sat open next to a bunch of fruit?

Dasani has that sort of deal going on but with a sewage plant.

I’m fairly certain they’ll just find a new jury

Man I’ve had enough bad news for one week :(

She isn’t asking for help, though. Assuming the translation is accurate and that it’s not a turn of phrase or something, she’s saying current situation God has given her is sufficient.

Like I said, I understand turning to religion in that kind of a situation, but an implicit “thank God” just seems inappropriate.

I would hope that’s how she meant it, but it still kinda puts a bad taste in my mouth. Some Christians I know have earnestly said similar things in response to tragedy.

Like when I asked one of my friends how he reconciled the idea that everyone who commits suicide goes to hell with the fact that our mutual friend committed suicide… He said God is omnibenevolent so logically him being in hell for eternity is a good thing.

So I wouldn’t be shocked at all if the sentiment behind this lady’s words was the same.

One one hand I understand turning to faith in that situation but… Does anyone else kinda feel like it’s gross to praise God after witnessing such an atrocity?

A year or two ago I tried using it for Bnet and Diablo 2 but it had a lot of issues… I’ll have to give it another try

People with the last name “Ford” in shambles

A lot of Balatro, lol. I wish it was on mobile, though…

I just modded my Switch, and tomorrow I’m gonna try to get Breath of the Wild / Tears of the Kingdom dumped and working on my Deck

I’m in my 20s and this makes me cringe.

On one hand I’m happy for the creator getting rich, but the whole appeal of the shorts was that they’re high quality shitposts…

It makes so much more sense after reading this lol. Thanks for your wisdom and hard work!

Because nobody is saying

“Clearly all articles about AI should be about how it will turn the world into a utopia where everyone is well-fed, healthy and able to do whatever they want with their time and for god’s sake, no one mention the massive ecological catastrophe they’re making a huge contribution to.”

The guy you’re responding to is criticizing the article for being *"*one-sided and pessimistic" and your response is basically “you just want everyone to fellate AI corpos all day”? That’s just another one-sided take, for one, and for two, the only time I ever hear it is from comments like yours.

I’m tired of reading articles that, rather than having any semblance of nuance, opt for one of the two extreme ends of the debate because they know it’ll get them more clicks, even if it’s at the cost of further polarizing the internet.

And in the comments it’s as if people believe the only valid takes are the ones handed down to us in the media written by corporate shills and emotionally charged creators. It’s possible to think AI is a cool step forward for computer science and that it’s severely flawed in its current state. It’s possible to think that corporate data scraping has raised major privacy concerns and we should train AI more ethically. It’s possible to think AI is consuming a concerning amount of power and resources and we should find better ways to do it.

But the lack of nuance is better for engagement 🙄

I know right, who needs nuance? Just adopt one of two strawmen and don’t think too critically about your side of the debate.
