9 out of 10 wolves recommend this meme!

I did notice your username, so I suspected this might not apply to you, but maybe it’ll be helpful to someone.

All I can really offer you is ‘good luck, hang in there and this too shall pass’, which is probably not a lot of comfort.

Not everyone will be able to move, it’s true, but a lot of countries have provisions for reclaiming citizenship if you can show that an ancestor (usually only in the last couple of generations, but not always) was a citizen.

For instance, Ireland: if one of your parents was an Irish citizen, born on the island of Ireland, you can claim citizenship and a passport with minimal paperwork. If your parents weren’t born there, but a grandparent was, there’s more paperwork involved, but you can still get citizenship and a passport.

Once you have a passport for an EU country, you have a lot more freedom to travel, and settle, anywhere in the EU.

Many other countries have similar systems, so, if you do want to leave, it can be worth studying your family tree to see if there are any recent immigrants.

Looking at a timeline of cases against various AI companies suggests that’s not quite the case. This page had a good overview, showing how cases are being resolved. Some of the recent notable outcomes involve the German courts finding OpenAI violated copyright laws, OpenAI being forced to reveal internal communications about trying to hide a massive dataset of pirated books, and a class action suceeding against Anthropic, but there’s a bunch more.

Whilst I see your point from the advertisers perspective, ie, misleading the consumer can be profitable, it also makes it all the more necessary for advertisers to be forced, ideally through legislative means, to disclose asset theft. That way they’re all on a level playing field, and are disuaded from lieing about it.

That fact that most “AI” output is garbage is not directly relevant, but the sourcing of the training data and lack of human oversight are.

Whilst slop is slop, and should be pilloried as such, cheap, lazy “AI” slop shoild be labeled to indicate that even less attention was paid than usual, and that it was created from stolen assets. This last part is probably the most important part.

They really do seem determined not just to be as evil as possible, but to be seen as as evil as possible.

Why do you think siblings would hate each other? Giving them the mental and emotional tools to interact kindly and calmly with others will also ensure their reltionship is positive.

Why would they add LLMs to Calibre?

It looks like it’s so you can “discuss” a book with the overgrown autocomplete, or ask it what to read next if you are incapable of independent thought. I could, sort of, understand making a plugin for this sort of nonsense, but building it in, as a brief check of their site suggests has happened, is so utterly ridiculous that it defies rationality.

I liked Calibre, I’ve even contributed code to it, but it looks like I’ll be investigating this fork now.

There’s a lot of work to go around. The leopards take care of those who vote against their own interests, the tigers can deal with those who shoud be getting nothing more than a lump of coal for Christmas. In the case that both of these hold true, whichever gets to the perpetrator first eats them.

Could Sasha do the adults too, particularly the bad ones?

You can definitely run it on those sorts of machines. You’ll want plenty of storage, but apart from thst it’s not too demanding if you don’t load it up with very high res videos.

Insert “I didn’t hear no bell” meme here.

I think one of the big reasons those were so liked by businesses was just how much of a beating they could take.

I know you mean this in jest, but I’m now envisioning hoards of driverless cars roaming around joylessly hunting down artificial ‘pokemon’ to add to their owner’s collection, whilst the owners sit at home listlessly doom scrolling, waiting for their cars to return, so they can see what ‘they’ caught.

I don’t like it.

Weirdly I can see your blasphemous comment about instant ‘coffee’ in your history, linked to this post, but it doesn’t show up in the comments here. I suspect it’s because it’s been voted down to -30.

In answer to the assertion you made about coffee being all the same, I say: you heathen! You Philistine! You non-appreciator of tasty coffee! If you like instant, that’s one thing, but many feel (as do I) that instant isn’t a patch on properly roasted, ground, and brewed coffee.

This is definitely a good way to go; not only does it decouple the AI generated assets from the game, but in doing so lets you get a picture of how important they are to your players. It might be that everyone grabs the DLC despite it being AI generated, or it might be that a large chunk avoid it because of that. That would be useful information for your next game.

Neit, was not failure, was demonstration of missile extreme manouvering capability. Fligh ended in big bang, so was great success comrade!

It wouldn’t be quite so bad if the previous gold rush ended first, but they seem to just be stacking up.

I keep reading the title as composting, and getting moderately confused.

“Safety heuristics” should be seen as one of the most alarming phrases in the English language. It’s on a par with “What’s the worst that could possibly happen? Hold my beer!” but on a societal level.
