I haven’t watched in a long time, but even the stuff I watched as a kid was wack. Turns out, it only got worse after I quit.
TL;DW: The creator of Sam & Cat is exactly as weird as you’d imagine from watching it and iCarly, and way more abusive than you could imagine. They had to separate him from the cast at one point.
How has nobody mentioned the live-action Avatar: The Last Airbender movie? I saw it as a kid and even I wanted to leave.
Also, horse armor was a one-time purchase for that mechanic.
It wasn’t even a mechanic, though. The armor literally did nothing, it was a cosmetic.
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.
Use the internet while I have it (assuming people just all disappear suddenly) to download survival guides, solar panel repair/installation PDFs, maps, etc. Anything I can think of, I’ll download
AI would be really useful in this scenario. Have a whole internet’s worth of information at your disposal with a fraction of the storage costs.
Probably still want the actual manuals and guides for the important stuff tho…
The only argument against it that I think is valid is that it shouldn’t be outputting copyrighted content, which seems like a pretty easy problem to solve but I’m no expert. If YouTube can do it with the volume of data they work with, it can’t be that hard to do it with text and pictures.
But the idea that an AI model just looking at a picture is somehow stealing is just absurd to me.
Why did you even comment if you weren’t willing to elaborate
That’s true, but I was only talking about art and stable diffusion. I know it’s more of a problem with LLMs but AFAIK every time someone finds a way to get it to quote something copyrighted verbatim, it’ll just cease to function. The most I’ve ever been able to get it to do are things they’ve already been pretty much agreed to be fair use, like summaries and criticisms.
And yeah over fitting is a problem in some models, but the ones taking your money like Dall-E have systems in place to mitigate it. I think it’s only considered theft as much as when a comedian hears a joke way in the past and forgets that it was already used in someone else’s routine. It’s not really a problem until the entire routine is just someone else’s routine.
AI isn’t stealing your art. Text to image stable diffusion literally can’t output a copy of your work.
And if you post your art online for free, you have no expectation of anyone not using your work to the extent that fair use allows. AI looking at your work for training is the same as a human looking at your work for inspiration.
My managers do this to their department leaders. They can’t even work the cameras.
Too little, too late. They lost all of my respect and I will never give them my money again.
You can unlock every hero through (free) challenges or pay to unlock them immediately.
If I ever have to play without access to competitive gameplay elements that are paywalled, it’s Pay to Win.
The problem is that without that rule, you can just buy a game, go offline and play the entire game, then return it. You could essentially play any game you wanted to for free
Ehh… Idk if that’s really on them. You can get around the playtime restriction by just playing offline, so there has to be an alternative restriction that doesn’t have that same vulnerability.
Three weeks is more than enough time to figure out something you own doesn’t even work.
I have issues with this even with 3rd party applications. Wanna play PokeMMO, an emulator that doesn’t even exist on Steam, on your Steam Deck while you’re waiting to respawn in Trouble in Terrorist Town? Fuck you, you’re disconnected from that server now.
Guess I’ll just use my phone then, jfc
Sharing a sexuality doesn’t associate you with him any more than sharing a hair color or preference of fabric softener
Oversimplified to the point of lying you could say
I already talked about that lawsuit here (with receipts) but the long and short of it is, it’s flimsy. There’s blatant lies, exactly half of their examples omit the lengths they went to for the output they allegedly got or any screenshots as evidence it happened at all, and none of the output they allegedly got was behind a paywall.
Also, using their prompts word for word doesn’t give the output they claim they got. Maybe it did in the past, idk, but I’ve never been able to do it for any copyrighted text personally, and they’ve shown that they’re committed to not letting that stuff happen.
Ah, you’re right I guess I was misremembering
