Saw an ad from a local (but large) Sinclair news affiliate the other day. Some right-wing boomers are calling themselves the “greatest generation” now. Out there making it an entire generation of stolen valor.

Can I ask, what are your thoughts on 1984?

It’s gonna be so fucking weird if this ends up like that “Meme from the future” back on Reddit that ended up looking like an Among Us meme years later…

Errors such as this have been occurring by human hands for decades, while adversarial networks and language models capable of making the same error have only been available for a few years. As such, attributing all such errors to AI is foolish, as humans have already proven capable of making the same types of mistakes.

AI

This kinda shit is as old as computers.

His boss:

vim something.log
esc
quit
exit
ctrl+x
ctrl+q

reboot
nano something.log

Unfortunately this one is hard to ignore, it’s the sole mod of a large com.

This took me way too fucking long to understand.

Hell yeah, I think it’s time to take out some Nazis myself. I’ve still never played the sequel or Young Blood.

American court grants Nintendo trademark on unenforceable trademarks

Might be more appropriate for a shitposting com.

Focusing on one part of your response that really rubs me the wrong way, you believe artists don’t need to be compensated for their work?

So… Final Fantasy, Oblivion, Inscryption…

Grinstead of gwhat?

Well, my main concern is the characterization of this as “piracy.” It’s not like image generating AIs are reproducing their actual films, right? Sure, it could be used to produce similar artwork to comics or stills or something, but it’s not gonna recreate the substance of the media. Yet, that’s how they’ve chosen to classify it, and I worry that it could set a precedent that could be used to sort of sidestep fair use protections.

Cool. Counterpoint: The primary point of failure in the DualShock 3 was a small foam sponge which was the only thing holding the small ribbon cable coming from the battery in place. One of the most smooth-brained design decisions I’ve seen in my life.

I used Vista for years. Things are worse now, no question.

Uh… Yeah, this is definitely the worst Windows has ever been. Of course, AI generated code shouldn’t be that much of an issue as long as they still have proper tests in place… which they don’t seem to.

I don’t know how to take the SSD issue right now though. Last I heard, neither Microsoft nor the SSD manufacturers seem to be able to reproduce a problem that absolutely everyone else knows about. It’s really weird.

“Midjourney has made a calculated and profit-driven decision to offer zero protection for copyright owners even though Midjourney knows about the breathtaking scope of its piracy and copyright infringement.”

That… sounds worrying. It’s not hard to imagine a success here eventually being extended to criminalize any and all fan art as “piracy.”
