Someone commented on here the other day that they don’t use anything that uses AI. I had to point out that they were on Lemmy, in a contemporary web browser, connecting to a Linux server running inside of a docker container. I’m still not sure if they understood my point, but I’m glad someone else on here is seeing the ripple effect.

Yes

not that I don’t think programming is art

My problem with calling programming art…

Thus adding the label is just an attempt to tack on unneeded elevation to the craft. In some ways the video supports my viewpoint. The debate over what is art is a bit tired. It’s worth having, but personally I don’t think it is needed in this case.

I’m going to be real, “Ok, I think it is art, I just don’t want it to be called art” is a wild stance is any other context. As an extension of that claim, I’ll say it is bogus in this context too.

Why are people booing? They’re right.

On the flip side, I am genuinely curious how much storage and processing time all the AI slop being uploaded is costing them. Some of that stuff is hours long, and like most videos on YouTube, most people aren’t watching it.

So… Why aren’t all these AI companies getting charged with multiple cybercrimes?

That’s a great point! You have a wonderful opportunity here to follow up with these redditors and ask for additional evidence to collaborate their experiences. If it turns out that you are correct, then you could flip the whole medical establishment on its head! Especially if you document your methodology so that other people can come in behind you to verify your results. Be the change you want to see in the world and go from reading research into being the researcher!

My vote is good old fashioned whackaloons.

Yes? My admittedly limited understanding says yes anyway. If Congress budgets $100m for cancer research, then all $100m needs to go to cancer research. But, the executive branch gets some freedom to decide what qualifies as cancer research. Cancer cures? Enhanced treatment? Earlier detection? Prevention? Environmental factors?

I do research into human computer interaction, and I know exactly how I’d hitch my wagon onto this. My research improves the usability of machines used in the diagnosis and treatment of cancer patients. BAM! Now my research into virtual buttons qualifies as cancer research.

Now, I would never do that scenario IRL because I have a conscious, but I know how the games like this are played when it comes time to apply for obscure grants that need to go to someone.

Sftp? Rsync?

Yup! Fedora for everything, and everything else for the lolz.

Something I’ve noticed is that, generally speaking, the fediverse doesn’t seem to be very hateful. Rude, sure, but rarely badness for sufferings sake. Without the constant pressure to be hateful, it is hard for grudges to take hold. I think a big reason is that the demographics on here appear to lean older than most other social media. Again, speaking generally, individual user behavior and experience may vary.

I’m rocking a phone from Sony right now, after a decade with Samsung Galaxy devices. I bought it specifically for the microSD card and for a headphone jack.

I have to pass through at least 3 to leave my neighborhood. I hate it. I want to cut them down or otherwise destroy them, but I have absolutely no clue how to do it without getting caught and landing myself in jail. I’ve tried to look up a tutorial or guide on tor, but it really is just entirely drug trafficking and honey pots on there.

I don’t think anyone here is arguing. This is just what a complex conversation looks like.

The age rating is standard across packaging and in plain language.

My points are not invalid if you use a screen reader or a font size extension.

Different person, but isn’t this already a problem with closed source games? My game dev experience is more hobbyist than professional, but I’ve spent a few lonely hours on ghidra. I also teach secure coding at my university, but I focus more on how to patch legacy systems and audit code for vulnerabilities. My point is that closed source vs open source, I see this as an issue in both systems and therefore irrelevant. Pardon my ignorance on this exact topic.

You aren’t addressing any other point. But sense you seem particularly hung up about this fact, how do you feel about that being literally the smallest text written on the box art? Again, I say that is intentionally misleading. Is it legal? Not sure, for now they are getting away with it, but I do feel like that will change eventually. However, I’d be shocked to hear any genuine argument on how this isn’t designed specifically to mislead people.

Personally, this feels like that bit in Seinfeld- “Hey, this ain’t a wizard! It’s a Willard!”

How am I as a regular consumer supposed to know what a game key card is? And yes, the non-standardized one off example of a company using a non-plain language description completely destroys the argument that this is anti-consumer and intentionally deceptive. Clearly everyone wants a game keycard inserted in order to play a digital game that if they had bought with an explicit code or completely online wouldn’t be required. It’s also great that completely digital download that takes many gigabytes of storage on my device becomes unplayable the moment I lose the game key. That way, I get the worst of both worlds! I have to be responsible with keeping track with physical media, and I have a massive drain on my devices storage space.

Just look at this Game Key Pass game sold through target. Note how the description says that it is a physical copy, and the specification notes that it is a physical copy. The only reason you may even suspect that this is game-key card that requires a download is if you happen to look at one of the cover art screenshots without alternative text. The fast food industry has been getting wrecked by that sort of oversight for a couple of years now.(Links available on request, but currently on mobile, so lazy)
