in this case, microsoft just decided that they didn't have to bother supporting legacy accounts because they didn't feel like it, so they pulled them without consent or compensation

in the case of ai generated media, companies just decided that they just had the rights to use existing published media, so they harvested it without consent or compensation

both complaints are the same complaint: that businesses are just deciding on contracts unilaterally and then imposing them on people without the need for consent

Not voting isn’t going to stop the genocide in Gaza.

maybe it will stop the next one though

if democrats learn that allowing a genocide to unfold on their watch is going to lose them elections, you can bet they'll put more effort into stopping it

if democrats learn that allowing genocide to unfold on their watch actually doesn't make that much difference, why would they bother themselves to stop it?

A vote is not an unconditional endorsement

a vote for a candidate is an endorsement for all of their policies, whether you want it to be or not

your reluctant vote looks exactly the same on the tally as somebody else's wholehearted vote, and votes are what politicians base their platforms on.

If you vote third party you might as well stay home.

this is just a misconception

if the democrats lose a million votes to a third party, then yeah, they're going to modify their policies next time around

if you think voting for biden this time is more important, then by all means do that

just understand the choice you're making, rather than pretending one doesn't exist

why on earth would any party listen to what you have to say if you preface everything you're campaigning for with "by the way, i'm still going to vote for you"

your vote is all they want in this scenario

it would be like opening a negotiation with "by the way, i'm absolutely going to pay whatever price you think is fair at the end of this, but i'd like you to consider giving me a discount anyway"

Biden has taken months to stop veto-ing UN votes on Gaza, and even when finally abstaining, his administration pulls its punches by claiming the vote is somehow "non-binding".

Israel is still bombing Gaza, even after the ceasefire vote.

Biden says he cares about Gaza. His actions say otherwise.

"Write your system prompt in English" also works

Releasing the hostages

oh you mean like the cease fire they offered months ago that was refused?

vote for the person you like the most

voting for the democrats come hell or high water is how you end up with two candidates nobody wants to vote for

holding those hostages is basically the last bargaining chip keeping Israel from just bombing all of Gaza into rubble

so in other words, it wouldn't end it any time, because israel would continue to bomb gaza into rubble?

what scenario are you imagining where any of meta's product offerings are useful to me?

what is your plan for hamas ending it at any time?

the cold war, probably

You mean before or after all the sites updated their ToS it so that they were legally in the clear to sell user posts to AI training companies? Implying that they weren't before? Also, are we exclusively talking about cases where sites gave consent to provide data? Rather than just having it be harvested without their knowledge or consent?

And in any case, you're missing the key point, which is that legality doesn't matter in either case. You can't fight a megacorporation just doing whatever they please unless you happen to have an army of lawyers lying around. Most consumers don't.

I suspect that people wouldn't like it if copyright got extended to let IP owners prohibit you from learning from their stuff.

Learning from things is a very obviously a completely different process to feeding data into a server farm.

Quite why proponents of AI-generated media still think this argument holds any water after 2 minutes of thought, let alone after almost a full year to consider it, is beyond me.

Biden could have had this 30 minute conversation at literally any point over the past several months

they should just link the display to the steering wheel

to go left and right you steer accordingly

to go up and down you accelerate or break

other elections, primaries

but those are both votes

ideally, yeah, if you wanted to exercise pressure on the biden administration, you wouldn't withhold your vote in this specific election, but those "other elections" have already passed

you could vote differently for the house and senate, but arguably that might actually lead to a worse outcome

donations

if you're very rich, then maybe, but most people aren't

general social pressure

general social pressure means very little without votes to back it up

sanders has a tidal wave of social pressure behind him, but then lost the primary, so nothing changed

it's why every time a politician tries to campaign for young voters, they crash and burn, because while young voters often inflict the most social pressure, they never actually go and vote

The alternative is to abstain or vote for someone with no chance

the point isn't to vote for the person to get them into office

the point is to vote for the person whose policies you prefer, so that you shift the other candidates closer to that position

yeah, 4 years of a very bad candidate is worse than 4 years of a meh candidate, but if you vote that way forever your candidate will never be anything more than meh

appoint three SCOTUS justices, irreversibly damage the environment, and pass voting “reform” to lessen the impact of your future votes

if you think this outweighs the benefit of improving the democrat position going forward, and that's a perfectly reasonable position to have, then sure vote for them

but don't act like you never had any choice in the matter, or that voting for somebody else would be meaningless

voting for a little smidge of genocide isn't voting against genocide. it's still voting for genocide

and israel-palestine is more than a smidge

is the brain tumor gone or is this a hallucination?

it didn’t say avoid

It quite literally says "Not Recommended" for each of them.

I'm not sure how you interpret that as anything other than "avoid".

the solution was staring us in the face the whole time

just ask for the output to be reversed or transposed in some way

you'd also probably end up restrictive enough that people could work out what the prompt was by what you're not allowed to say

At least try and form your own opinions, maybe?

Of the 16 games on the list, 6 of them haven't even released yet, and the average Steam user rating of those remaining is 78%.

Only two are below "Mostly Positive", which are Gotham Knights and Dungeons and Dragons: Dark Alliance, both being "Mixed".

you agreed to that too

you know that a company putting a thing in their terms of service doesn't make it legally binding, right?

hence why they all suddenly felt the need to update their terms of services

It is not very obviously different, as evidenced by the fact that it's still being argued

people continuing to use a bad argument doesn't make it a good one

I'm not expecting them to rule against analysis of public data

kbin sweating nervously

companies don't update legal documents for fun

you're also continuing to pointedly ignore what this conversation is actually about, so i'm guessing you don't really have anything relevant to say in response

it's only perjury if you know that it's false

the update to the legal contract they have you agree to was in no way legally motivated?

you can't just decide to build cutting edge chips

if the DoD needed cutting edge chips but had to purchase them from within the US, all that would happen is their technology would be worse for the next decade(s) until US production could catch up

given the current us procurement strategy of keeping at least a generation or so ahead of its next near-peer, i really doubt that would fly

you're confusing AGI/GI with AI

video game AI is AI

CYA is not necessarily the same as changing the substance

why would they need to cover themselves against the scenario you're arguing they were already covering themselves against?

that could’ve been imagined when writing the original TOSs

or when agreeing to them, which is literally the problem here

you can't meaningfully consent to every arbitrary hypothetical future scenario

oh, whoops, i dropped my monster statement that i use for my come-to-jesus dong
