Yes, it does imply that

Specifically malicious intent

Don’t hold dystopian societies to utopian standards. Yes copyright sucks, and if it was gone things might be better. But also if it was gone corpos might just run more wild than they do now.

Right? “We made a mediocre game that doesn’t deliver on the promises we made. Pls give good review now”

That being said, I have not read the Steam reviews, but it could be that they are getting bombed, but the situation described in the article is just people not liking the game for valid reasons

That is such a dishonest take. Per the article

"For example, last year California passed a law that requires health care providers to disclose when they have used generative AI to communicate clinical information to patients. In 2021, New York passed the first law in the United States requiring employers to conduct bias audits of AI tools used for employment decisions. California also passed a law that will go into effect in 2026 which requires developers of generative AI models to share detailed documentation on its websites about the data it used to develop these models, an extremely consequential law as AI companies are currently hiding their exploitation of copyrighted materials in order to create these models, as we have shown repeatedly. "

It doesn’t mention it, but it would also prevent any environmental regulation around the data center that guzzle water and consume electricity like disinformation black holes.

Its not about personal use, it is about regulating corpos

AI art looks terrible, is almost always trained on stolen art, and is typically environmentally unsound. There are genuinely good uses for AI, art is not one of them.

We are talking about this specifically because there is reason enough to doubt Nintendo saying they didn’t use it. Nintendo may have used their own assets to train any alleged AI, buy them shutting down the conversation means we will never know.

That is probably why they are all differnt sizes and the flag part is different (or non existent) in each one.

The images might be based off in game assets, but if those are not AI then the artist certainly has a style that mimics AI art. I don’t think that is the case, though

I’m getting ready for work, so only have time to do one image, but this is pretty clearly AI generated. The other image is not quite as egregious, but if you take more than a passing glance at the car in the billboard ad, it is pretty obviously AI as well.

Fuck yes!

I think that ‘no’ is likely a lie. Take a look at the images posted in the article. Pretty clearly AI imo

Yes, sorry, other than the text

I don’t know if you and I looked at the same images. Other than the text, all of the images have a lot of hallmarks of AI. The car is asymmetrical in almost every aspect, the bridge has a lot of random artifacts where support cables would be, the skyscrapers are just nonsensical all over the place. To me, they look like a ton of AI slop. They might just be placeholder art, but still shitty to use AI generated images

This is for color laser printers only, and is not a legal requirement as far as I can tell. Manufacturers were urged by the US government to add it, but it is not a written law.

It shut down last year, but it was also run by Mail.ru. Probably not something you want anywhere near your devices

I am a huge Star Wars fan and I 100% agree. By far the best

Yeah, and a lot of the movies mentioned are not popular because people did not like them. Of the ones I have heard anything about, Mickey 17 is the only I have heard good things about. Red One, really? That is an example?

At least in the US, going to the movies is expensive as all get out, so I think this is less about the movies themselves. I liked the movie clubs where you get x number of movies a month (I did Cinemark’s before COVID), but not everyone has a theatre with that option. Also, for me personally, I am still keeping a tight COVID ship, so that means the draw of places like Cinemark is not there anymore. Overall, it just seems like there are fewer reasons to go a movie, especially when oftentimes movies come out on streaming a few weeks to a couple months after it hits theaters.

I don’t think that word means what you think it means.

Nobody here is saying Chinese authoritarianism is good, they are mostly pointing out that this op-ed is really, really bad and does not understand the technology, or pointing out that your post history/quality borders on racism. That doesn’t mean they are pro-authoritarianism, it just means they are pro well researched, quality posts and are already tired of the anti-China spam thanks to past accounts doing the same thing

How is From going downhill?

Or Sceptre if you want a non-smart TV.

It might be anti intellectualism in me

Ah, ok, well I see we are done here.

Have a good one
