That attention is the dying embers of the torch he took to his career

This is such bullshit. Models have already consumed all available data and have nothing left to consume, whole needing exponentially more data for progressive advancements

You need yo block the alibaba subnets primarily. In my experience this is where most of them originate

Labor can’t cross borders to find better wages , but capital can cross them at will to find cheaper labor.

spam is spam. We’ll deal with it like any other spam.

Not gonna argue with you mate, I know we disagree fundamentally on what the fediverse means. Me and most others never will see eye to eye with you with your capitalist growth-focused approach.

Network effects are incredibly strong. Xitter is now a disinformation and fascist hellhole, and yet people who should know better still refuse to leave. We have the advantage that we’re not growth focused, so we can can bide our time. The inevitable enshittification will do its job eventually, but there’s no telling when the tipping point will happen.

I’m not OK with any business practices of AAA studios, and I don’t think there’s a way for them to get enough educated consent for creations (i.e. not just someone accepting a shitty TOS on deviantart 6 years ago) to make a good GenAI model. But if I were to put aside the first part and assume a magical reality where the second could manifest without coercion and lies, I would theoretically be OK with it as long as that model passed to the commons when the works it was trained on did as well.

Complete overreaction, but I agree that commercial games should not be using GenAI art. If you’re making money out of selling your game, then don’t use something which abused to commons to do so. If you’re making a FOSS game, I don’t see a problem with it.

Unfortunately it’s a bit too expensive around here

Pop-corn enthusiasts, how do you make them? Ready-made microwave shite, or from kernels? If from kernels, do you use a special air-frier, or just pan with oil? I use the air-frier but I find that my biggest problem is getting the butter taste in them afterwards. I’m dripping a butter-tasting rapeseed oil afterwards, but this tends to not reach the bottom layers if I make a lot.

What’s your approach?

I’ve broken a tooth filling this way :(

I have to try this the next time!

“war”

Nice for you, bad for the mods. Only way to do that without outsourcing mental strain to other people is to self host

Author admits they don’t ask for donations and then use the lack of donation as evidence for their arguments. Amazing logic there.

Also whatever the fuck this is

By the way, next time you see a request for donations at any project, think about the reasoning in the head of the product owner.

Some of us ask for donations because we know people don’t actually think about it. Fuck you for implying we’re closer to being sellouts than you are.

This blog gives me right-libertarian vibes with its promotion of “open - core” shite and how focused it is on money.

No I meant the literal cia-backed coup

I’m just waiting for all those gnashing their teeth at this to turn around and tell me “vote blue no matter who” in a couple of years/months.

Oh yeah cause it went so well for Chile.

Coups can be resisted.
