Never has the word "alleged" felt so meaningless.

Why does it matter what the excuse is?

You shouldn't get a stereotype (or in this case I suppose propaganda?) when you give a neutral prompt.

Since Spotify can't even make a shuffle that works, I don't see how AI playlists would be any good either.

The unfair advantage argument definitely holds water, mouse and keyboard can be like a sports car racing against a bicycle. But if someone had the budget to tackle this issue through software, it would be Microsoft. So I'm inclined to agree that it's mostly just MS squeezing money out of third party manufacturers.

If they'd care only about the "unfair", they'd put a fair, almost free, price on the official license that covers the cost of testing or whatever. Truth presumably here is also a bit more complicated, maybe third party controllers could be easier to hack resulting in an ineffective licensing system, idk. But yeah smells like money for Microsoft and a loss for consumers.

I don't know what kind of platform would make it impossible to not host csam. Text only, without linking?

Or is the problem here that the post was available to the wider audience, so other than moderation front was able to see it? Lemmy doesn't do restricted posting? Jesus this platform is at its infancy then.

GaaS really fucks up basic game design. It's like they intentionally are aiming to squeeze as much as possible out of a lime when they could just aim for a watermelon.

No idea how much always online server structure costs but it can't be free. I wonder if the console manufacturers favor this type of game design as it brings them some cash in too.

I think it's the same problem Wes Anderson kinda suffers. They're trying to do their thing in the way their audience expects them to.

And I don't really think either is playing a caricature of themselves, there's real creativity at play. But the creative risks are mitigated by relying on their set style, which makes it safe to consume but often not that exciting. I find Dunkey's reviews usually pretty interesting, whether I agree with them or not. But this poetry felt closer to an ad than an honest review.

Xorcle.

WhatsApp’s AI shows gun-wielding children when prompted with ‘Palestine’

By contrast, prompts for ‘Israeli’ do not generate images of people wielding guns, even in response to a prompt for ‘Israel army’

So what reality is this model reflecting then?

You might want to check out Tildes too. I don't know if it's exactly what you're looking for, which I think is a community where you form relationships with others (hasn't been my experience there [nor here]), but its main focus is less noise, better content (as in both posts and conversation). It's less about jokes or raking in upvotes and more about having something meaningful to say.

I haven't encountered that much of any kind of hate speech or your average internet assholery so it might be at least a place to check out.

It's a bit dry and slow content wise so I don't think it'll end up being anyone's one stop shop for everything social media.

I don't know if they've gotten their act together after that or not but I haven't come across stuff like that. Or maybe I'm just ignorant and a bit blind to that stuff. Most of your typical internet negativeness I've seen has been about Starfield but even that is kinda whatever bickering.

Either way, I'm not suggesting that Tildes would be replacements for Beehaw, just another avenue to check out once in a while.

I don't know the specifics at Twitter's end but fairly large portion of people I follow still use it daily. Feels like the drop wasn't permanent.

One question I have is that if two people use the same prompt, do they get the same result?

If they do, how could that result be copyrighted because I can just as well reproduce the prompt, making an original "copy".

If they don't produce the same result, well it's not the human that's really doing the "original" part there, which is what copyright aims to protect, right?

On the other hand if I write an original comic book story and use AI as a tool to create the pictures, that, in my opinion, could be worth copyright protection. But it's the same as just original story, it's not really the pictures that are protected.

(And let's not forget that AIs are mostly just fed stolen works, that needs to be solved first and foremost.)

I don't like your idea because it defeats the purpose of picking an instance (and you could just run your own if you want to be in control) but yeah that was uncalled for. If this is the attitude of the instance maybe they should just defed. (If restricting posting isn't possible.)

Hey, at least it's a renewable source.

Tying NFT token to a physical object like a painting and keeping a database of who owns what seems potentially interesting. But why would you need it to be NFT based either, I don't know.

There are probably some bitter etc. compounds that are just super strong. Like lemon smells nice but it alone might be a bit too much.

Maybe it'll tell me Windows 11 Pro serial number when I get to the destination.

A hard topic to talk about without specific examples but I'll take your word for it and keep an eye out when scrolling over there.

Could you describe a case example how that applies in practice?

Because yeah I understand that when we all have our own copy of the data someone can't falsify all our independent copies but is data being tampered like that even the problem?

What's predatory about Diablo 4's monetization? Seems pretty standard skins and cosmetics stuff. And the battle pass.

But it's not like you get better gear or anything, right?

Are you talking about the try not to cum scam games or are there some legitimate ads too?

Oh yeah, I see. I guess I'm too used to that stuff that it didn't struck me as that egregious compared to any other game.

That's honestly an incredibly good solution.

It's amazing how easily people seem to forget that machines uses tools its creator provides. You can't trust AI to be impartial because it never is as it is a collection of multiple choices made by people.

This is such a bore, having this same conversation over and over. Same thing happened with NFTs and whatever is currently at the height of its tech hype cycle. Don't buy into the hype and realize both AIs potential and shortcomings.

Well it's the same as with any document, digital or physical, that shows ownership. Obviously it being NFT wouldn't make it magically legit, same as with anything else.

But like I said I don't really see a point of that kind database being blockchain/NFT based anyway.

It's what. A book, maybe book and a half per month? Like cool that it's an option but it's not really something makes a difference for me.

Wasn't there a same kind of story out of Japan years ago? Murdered someone during their time Europe?

I guess the fear is that they'll monetize others' content without giving anything back. Like imagine if there was Reddit2 that just took all the content from Reddit but didn't add their oc back to Reddit. Basically just leeching off and your average user would be incentivized to join "Reddit2" since it had all the content that Reddit has and more. They'd slowly drain users from Reddit to Reddit2 and THEN monetized turning everything to shit (you can use your imagination how'd that look).

I do agree that technical mistakes are interesting but with AI the answer seems to always be creator bias. Whether it's incomplete training sets or (one-sidedly) moderated results, it doesn't really matter. It pushes the narrative to certain direction, and people trust AIs to be impartial because they presume it's just a machine that interprets reality when it never is.

Are you talking generally about emoji reactions or just when it comes to email?

And in the context of who produces creative content, I don't think "piracy" has really a budget for that.

So it's the same story for Android?
