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.

LOL, the bsky users (blueys? skyes? bskits?) sure know how to bully people, if nothing else. I loved how they treated Adobe some weeks ago.

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.

Sorry, that's my weekly allotment of pixels

I've been messing around with a press mold so I can make hex tiles using paper mache, or something else that is easily and cheaply available.

The problem I've been having is with the sides, which rarely get properly pressed. What should I do to possibly fix this, regarding the model?

Right now, I've only experimented with minced paper and water, which led to satisfying results. What other things could I add or try for this kind of press? What could I apply on the mold to make the paper less likely to stick? Vaseline doesn't make a difference.

 
 

We don't have an Ask Historians yet, so I think this is the best place to ask at the moment

 

I've been thinking of self hosting a mastodon (gotosocial, more specifically) + a matrix server on an old computer I have, but sometimes I might need to turn it off for 2 days or more (not to mention some energy or internet outages that might happen here)

I suppose with the mastodon part the server will properly sync and download whatever's been missing, but I'm not entirely sure that'll be the case with matrix. If anyone sent me a DM on there while my server was down, would it get through after it was back up?

 

PL continua com seu golpismo e sua defesa descarada de mentiras, falsidades e spam em conluio com as grandes empresas de informática pra garantir poder e dominação da população.

Sempre usam essa ladainha de "liberdade de expressão" pra defenderem o uso de bots e outras táticas do gabinete do ódio, dizem ser a favor de "liberdade total de expressão", mas adoraria ver eles tentando defender isso com alguém perguntando "Então os senhores são a favor de postagens pró pedofilia? Pró aborto? São a favor de golpes cibernéticos?"

 

For instance, when your team misses a super close shot at scoring, or when you lose a super tense game match by a hair.

 
 

I'm trying out a few seeds myself to see what I end up getting. My current favorite, dees1, spawns fucktons of relaxaurus in the starting area, ragnahawks, bushis and celesdirs in the areas of the Petalia and Elizabee bosses, faleris aqua and orserks in the wetlands of Grintale boss, among other interesting spawns.

What are some seeds you folks tried?
