This the the problem for the LLM, it can be used for many things, and if it has no filter or limit

I agree with pretty much everything before this but that particular comment was just talking about summaries, which imo is a lot more cut and dry. (SparkNotes, for example)

An LLM by itself is unlimited and unfiltered, but it's not impossible to limit one and sell it. For all the shit OpenAI deserves to get, I have to give them one thing, their copyright restriction system seems to be on par with YouTube. I paid for a month of it when GPT4 came out and tried my hardest to bypass it, but it won't even give me copyrighted texts when the words are all replaced with synonyms or jumbled around.

I think if someone's offering their LLM as a service and has a system like that in place, they aren't stealing any more than YouTube is stealing. Otherwise I agree that there's a strong argument for copyright infringement.

Yeah!

!Arthur Dent has his home demolished while humans simultaneously have Earth demolished by an alien race called Vogons, but him and Ford Prefect escape by hitchhiking onto the Vogon ship. They're discovered and thrown into space, but miraculously saved by Ford's relative (can't remember how they're related) and his ship The Heart of Gold, which is powerful but unpredictable. They wind up on a mythical planet due to that unpredictability, and learn that Earth was a designer planet created to calculate the ultimate answer to the ultimate question of life, the universe, and everything. (The famous "42" thing). The whole crew escapes the planet and decides to go to The Restaurant at the End of The Universe to eat and watch the universe end.!<

Have I just stolen The Hitchhikers Guide to the Galaxy and given it to you?

Look, guys! The TLDR bot is stealing!

Nah, it's just a joke. Maybe a cisnormative joke, but as a trans woman myself I didn't think twice about it.

In my book, for something to be transphobic it has to intentionally discredit or attack trans people.

Games are about entertainment. They're not a career.

They're all skills that you have to develop, and things people do because they like doing them. And if you're not willing to learn to develop those skills, you won't be able to participate.

Zelda games aren't gatekeeping me when I die a lot and they don't give me more health. Portal 2 isn't gatekeeping me when I can't solve the puzzles and they won't give me the answers. Undertale isn't gatekeeping me because I'm bad at bullet hells and they won't slow down time for me. The whole point of the game is to develop a skill and overcome a challenge.

I already named several mechanics Elden Ring gives you to deal with the difficulty, and engaging with them is what the game is about. It can be as easy or as hard as you make it. If you choose not to utilize those options, that's your prerogative.

they have opted to take actions that make the game unenjoyable for a significant number of gamers despite it having no positive benefit for ANY gamer

Like what

I don't have the tools to mod Bloodborne

Miyazaki himself said he wants a PC port but Sony won't do it. We're definitely on the same page there, and so is the CEO of From Software.

"Female" is a descriptor of sex

Just like "theory" is a rigorously tested hypothesis. We're not all professional biologists and doctors, it's different colloquially.

Learning to play the guitar or code also doesn't have a difficulty slider, but people of all abled-ness manage it anyways. It's a matter of patience and practice just like any other skill.

But this particular skill has in-game mechanics like leveling up, upgrading equipment, and summoning up to two whole extra players to do the work for you. Then there's mods...

This hallway will always feel like home to me

They can, it's just not in the form of 1 button.

It's an RPG, if you want the game to be easier then level up your character to have adequate HP/defense/attack power. Not enough? Upgrade your weapons/shield. Still not enough? You can summon two whole extra players to do all the work for you.

Still not enough? There's mods.

Death Grips

Or just increase the size of the pen tool...

Some of us, especially older gamers, just don't have the reflexes for that type of game.

I hear what you're saying, but to be fair, younger players don't start out with those reflexes either. It's probably harder for older players, but I'm not convinced it's that much more of a challenge that it's not worth trying. Maybe it's my lack of perspective talking, but I'm willing to bet that if older folks can learn to play a guitar or code, they could learn to play Elden Ring given the same amount of practice and motivation.

It took me over 6 hours total just to learn to parry, and even then I'd say my success rate is still only like 60% at best. I learned to do it for 1 specific DLC boss, and that was after 200 hours in the base game without using once, so I had to completely abandon my muscle memory. But man, the one run I managed to pull off where I hit just enough parries to make it out alive by the skin of my teeth, it was beautiful. I recorded it, and watching it back is like watching a dance. (Like a dancer with two left feet, but still, lol)

Unfortunately for us, Fromsoft writes GREAT stories and Let'sPlays are still kinda boring.

I don't normally watch lets plays anymore either, but this one really hooked me. Gray and Lark both have a lot of charisma and bounce off of each other really well since they're childhood friends. The stories they tell are entertaining enough that, for the first time ever, I decided to watch a livestream (instead of the edited version I linked).

Vaati Vidya also has a lot of good videos if you just want the raw lore.

These words exist for a reason they mean different things.

Correct, and you're still misusing them according to the people who actually identify with these labels. Atheism is the answer to what you believe, and agnosticism is the answer to what you know.

I don't believe God exists and I don't know if God exists, so I'm an agnostic atheist. For you to assume atheists are gnostic by default is like me assuming Christians are Mormons by default. It'd be even more ridiculous for me to go on and argue with Christians that "Christian" means "Mormon."

Was it >!Rellana!

I haven't seen much of it at all in my 1+ year here, so y'all are doing a great job :3

Big baby <3

Sure. And nobody claimed "God doesn't exist." Two people now have told you that you're mistaken, but you insist.

From our perspective it seems like you're imposing a baseless claim onto us so you can feel better about your own baseless claims. Only theists say atheism is a claim.

Weird thing is, for me on Sync, tapping the third spoiler removes the symbols from the first two lines before removing the one I'm tapping on.

This is me tapping the third line three times, and then tapping the first line...

Here's the single sentence you're looking for out of this several-paragraph long AI generated article:

They changed Bender's career chip to read "chainsaw juggler" instead of "prime minister of Norway" because of a terrorist attack on the actual prime minister of Norway, which works better because Bender had his dismembered arm.

I just want one with a removable battery and a headphone jack...

otherwise what is the point of a transparent and federated platform?

So we can call this behavior out, then pack it up and move 196 to a new instance where this mod isn't in control.

Just another instance of common anti-consumer behavior from multi billion dollar companies who have no respect for the customers that line their pockets.

Cock & Ball Torture?

How does your ISP not molotov your house for this lol

AFAIK non-binary can be both or neither

Why the hell wasn't it opt-in from the beginning?

I don't get it

You can also just add "lemmynsfw.com" to your blocked instances. 90% of the porn posts come from there.

It's not possible lol. Apple makes it as difficult as humanly possible to alter their OS. We're lucky enough to be able to jailbreak iPhones

Honestly, though, as much as I hate how restrictive iPhones are, I gotta admit they're restrictive in a way that makes things a lot easier for people who aren't tech-savvy. What part are you struggling with? I haven't owned an iPhone since the 5C but I could probably help.

I wouldn't say "preach" but I do have conservative friends that openly tell me that being gay or trans is wrong. (I'm trans, and they know this). I'd love it if they kept that shit in the privacy of their own homes

Came here to say this too. All they're doing is pushing the users of those sites to less reputable sites

I know how I was as a kid, and I sure as shit wouldn't have stopped because my state said "no"

I, too, would like 5-7 trillion dollars

My boss occasionally goes and picks up supplies and he's supposed to get compensated for gas money. They give you a flat rate based on the distance there and back, and his bike has good fuel efficiency so he makes a few easy bucks for each trip.

One day management told him he wasn't allowed to do that anymore (can't remember the reason), and management told him it was the higher-up's decision, not theirs. So he decides to email our division manager to basically ask if management was lying...

He accidentally CC'd the entire district lmao. We think it's because the DM's emails are usually for the whole district and he just clicked through one of those emails to find her email address. Management called him into the office the next day lol.

Isn't this an album cover
