I’m quite happy to see Bethesda fail after their choice to release fallout 76 and microtransaction and abuse psychological tricks to separate people from their money.

Crash and burn baby.

They aren’t, player counts have plummeted

Do you want AI to exclusively be in the hands of big companies and the government?

Do you want the future of technology locked behind pay walls and censored so that you can’t use it to do anything they don’t want you to do?

If you think AI regulation comes in the form of making sure big companies can’t do bad things to you, you haven’t been paying attention.

Big AI regulation fan.

I’d say good riddance but the replacement is worse

Because I browse the root website and don’t pay any attention to the sub communities. Are you wanting to speak exclusively to like minded individuals who never criticize or oppose your thoughts?

People who want to use Facebook can pay, deal with ads, or just not use the site. This isn’t some huge scandal and nothing is really wrong here

Then don’t use it. I don’t use Facebook every day.

Oh my God you have to pay for a service you use?

The scandal! The outrage! The horror!

It doesn’t really matter whether the original data is present in the model

Yeah it does. One of the arguments people make is that AI models are just a form of compression, and as a result distributing the model is akin to distributing all the component parts. This fact invalidates that argument.

This isn’t a slam dunk argument that there’s nothing wrong with what an AI does even if we grant it is transformative. It may also simply be proving that the copyright law we have fails to protect artists in the new era of AI.

If we change the law to make it illegal it’s illegal.

Over fitting is an issue for the images that were overfit. But note in that article that those images mostly appeared many times in the data set.

People who own the rights to one of those images have a valid argument. Everyone else doesn’t.

It is illegal to use copyrighted material period outside of fair use, and this is most certainly not.

Yeah it is. Even assuming fair use applied, fair use is largely a question of how much a work is transformed and (a billion images) -> AI model is just about the most transformative use case out there.

And this assumes this matters when they’re literally not copying the original work (barring over fitting). It’s a public internet download. The “copy” is made by Facebook or whoever you uploaded the image to.

The model doesn’t contain the original artwork or parts of it. Stable diffusion literally has one byte per image of training data.

They use a ton of data as reference points. It’s literally in the name of the technology.

Reference is the wrong word.

They learn the patterns that exist in data and are able to predict future patterns.

They don’t actually reference the source material during generation (barring over itting which can happen and is roughly akin to a human memorizing something and reproducing it).

RVC is the most popular tool I’m aware of

They have a supply. It’s based on their cost to produce.

companies are looking at extracting maximum value for them. You seem to dislike that.

With artificial region locks that shouldn’t exist. Open markets are better, and the bigger the market the better it is.

Literally just open up a few games in steam DB. It’s a smooth gradient of nations with differing prices. It would absolutely not be negligible.

Forcing global prices will mean that the revenue maximizing price for the first world will do down.

Publishers will not just ignore the global markets. They will just be forced to sell their games for actual value instead of “how much you can pay”

Yeah, you’re just hilariously out of touch with the scale of these projects.

Really I think your entire attitude here stems from a really big underestimation of how difficult large scale projects line geothermal boreholes and dams are, and how large these projects would have to actually be.

everywhere where you can dig a deep hole

You will need a lot of really deep holes to make significant power in most places. Of course you can get to the mantle from anywhere on earth. That doesn’t make it practical.

Now you’re just saying the opposite of what you said before just to fit your agenda.

Don’t be a pedantic shit.

pumped storage

Works when you have a lake on a mountain and a lake below the mountain. 90 percent of places? No such luck.

After all those decades of trying to figuring out where to store the highly toxic waste and so far nobody figured it out.

Literally just in a mountain or deep underground. It’s been figured out
