  Ya, the whole arm seemed was very jarring. She had mentioned it just before ad well. I don’t get why they stayed with the guild too. The receptionist almost got them killed, not just that other guy. I’m liking it tho so far overall.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨[Episode] Fate/strange Fake - Episode 3 discussion⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨days⁩ ago⁩:

  I’m definitely interested in where this is going. The vampire and priest are great and I’m really surprised and delighted they actually have an aboriginal character.

  Love the overall concept, the fight in the first half was top tier too. Looks like this season has a lot to say. I’m digging it.

  Oscar-winner Matthew McConaughey has trademarked his image and voice to protect them from unauthorised use by artificial intelligence (AI) platforms.

  Clips including his famous catchphrase “alright, alright, alright” from the 1993 film, Dazed and Confused, have been registered to the United States Patent and Trademark Office database, the Wall Street Journal (WSJ) reports.

  Lawyers for the Magic Mike star told the WSJ they had no current examples of McConaughey’s likeness being manipulated by AI, but hoped the trademarks could be used broadly against any unauthorised copies of him.

  A secondary aim would be to “capture some of the value that is being created with this new technology”, Kevin Yorn - one of the lawyers representing McConaughey - told the AFP news agency.“My team and I want to know that when my voice or likeness is ever used, it’s because I approved and signed off on it”, McConaughey said via email to the newspaper.

  “We want to create a clear perimeter around ownership with consent and attribution the norm in an AI world”.McConaughey is not a hardline opponent of generative AI.

  He has a stake in ElevenLabs, a software company specialising in AI voice modelling “for several years now”, according to the 56-year-old.

  The company has created an AI audio version of the ‘Interstellar’ actor, with his permission.

  I felt the headline is a bit misleading. It seems he is just using the clips as examples of his work to copyright his likeness, which is more than fair. Laws around deepfakes are seriously lacking.

  I just hope the court are able to differentiate between a model being able to reproduce someone’s likeness and someone actually doing it and distributing the material. The former is impossible to stop without gutting free local models because of how image to video works.

  Bruh, stable diffusion was trained on billions of images, with their owners spanning the globe. My work has about 300 employees all living in one city and it still take a few seperate teams with multiple people each to handle it.

  You’re simply an idiot if you think it isn’t a nightmare imo. Think before you speak please.

  Take a napkin and do some math on how much you think each image is worth and what kind of budget a company would need to put out a model. Ignore the logistics completely.

  Google doesn’t mind paying that price because they can recoup it with the monopoly it gives them. You guys are basically begging for a handful of companies to have it all, begging for walled gardens. Legit bootlicking.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨"Not A Single Pixel" Of The New Ecco Game Will Be Generated By AI, Insists Series Creator⁩ ⁨⁨4⁩ ⁨days⁩ ago⁩:

  I’m saying they stopped owning it the moment they put it on the big websites and signed away their work by clicking the box at the end of the ToS.

  I see two choices:

  1. Scrapping isn’t considered theft and we all get easy access to these new tools.

  2. It’s considered theft and the new tools end up behind censored subscription models while shutter stock makes a shit load of money.

  Paying every artists what they are worth is a logistical nightmare because of the amount of data needed. It simply won’t happen and isn’t a realistic scenario. It sucks but sticking your head in the sand and giving a soft monopoly to google and openai doesn’t help anyone but google and openai.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨"Not A Single Pixel" Of The New Ecco Game Will Be Generated By AI, Insists Series Creator⁩ ⁨⁨4⁩ ⁨days⁩ ago⁩:

  No DeviantArt, Shutterstock, instagram and company are the juggernauts. Artists already gave it all away.

  There isn’t a scenario where individual artists get a piece of that money. Legislation, if it comes, will protect data aggregators, record companies and Hollywood, with the aim of killing open source.

  Google paid 60$ million for Reddit’s data and I still haven’t received my dollar. Google would also love it if training a model costs so much only they could afford to build one.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨"Not A Single Pixel" Of The New Ecco Game Will Be Generated By AI, Insists Series Creator⁩ ⁨⁨4⁩ ⁨days⁩ ago⁩:

  I do include ethics in my decisions. My ethics simply aren’t dictated by copyright juggernauts.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨"Not A Single Pixel" Of The New Ecco Game Will Be Generated By AI, Insists Series Creator⁩ ⁨⁨4⁩ ⁨days⁩ ago⁩:

  I’m mostly thinking of indie devs and how it can let small teams do more. I think some of these tools are a real boon to the industry, it’s quickly becoming trivial to included animated cut scenes for example. I think the human and inventive part can still shine with competent devs.

  I’m not advocating for shovelware here or games that are 90% AI, but a lot of teams that can’t afford certain dedicated positions would probably benefit from using it in some parts of their game.

  If it isn’t noticable and gives us a better game, I’m more than willing to ignore the copyright companies constant wailing.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨"Not A Single Pixel" Of The New Ecco Game Will Be Generated By AI, Insists Series Creator⁩ ⁨⁨4⁩ ⁨days⁩ ago⁩:

  I guess I’m an outlier, I judge games on if they are fun to play.

  Lora communication is line of sight. You would still need quite a few people working together.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Larian will no longer use GenAI for Divinity concept art, and any genAI used for other games will be "trained on data we own"⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago⁩:

  Maybe if they mean fine tuning but from scratch, no.

  It’s the main reason I think the whole anti-AI movement is going in the wrong direction. If we all don’t get open access to it, that means the access is dictated by sites like shutter stock and deviant art. It doesn’t go away.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨I'm lit deal with it 😎⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago⁩:

  I got high off my first redbull, no joke. I wasn’t expecting it to do anything, I just thought it was coffee. Only time in my life I could move my eyes independently from each other. Some of the stuff they put in that can really affect you. Never had anything like that happen except the first time, so I’m guessing it’s a rare occurrence that your body quickly builds a tolerance to if it does happen.

  Maybe it was placebo but it wasn’t like we were teens “experimenting” or something, I was with my family and wasn’t looking to get high or thinking of it. I had soft drinks and coffee before, so I’m guessing it was something else in there. Idk.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Nearly all of Spotify has been scraped and is available via torrents⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  It’s a good thing if you are smart enough to understand that AI isn’t going away. Universal bought udio, the “legal” variant of the dataset will be used to train models, only they will be closed source, censored and come with a ToS that gives all the rights from the generated music to the record companies from the get go.

  At least this gives open source a chance.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Whats the best use for 75 dollars?⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  I’d suggest taking a look at what roll20 has to offer if you want to play virtually with your friends.

  If the rasp Pi is too much (per your other comment), you might have fun with a few esp32s and some basic sensors if you want to get into the embedded electronic space. The entry price is lower then the rasp.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Whats the best use for 75 dollars?⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  What are your hobbies?

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨AI-generated code contains more bugs and errors than human output⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  It’s beside the point. I’m simply saying that AI will improve in the next year. The cost to do so or all the others things that money could be spent on doesn’t matter when it’s clearly going to be spent on AI. I’m not in charge of monetary policies anywhere, I have no say in the matter. I’m just pushing back on the fantasies.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨AI-generated code contains more bugs and errors than human output⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  The cost of the improvement doesn’t change the fact that it’s happening. I guess we could all play pretend instead if it makes you feel better about it. Don’t worry, the models are getting dumber!

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨AI-generated code contains more bugs and errors than human output⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  They are improving, and probably faster then junior devs. The models we had had 2 years ago would struggle with a simple black jack app. I don’t think the ceiling has been hit.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Spotify Music Library Scraped by Pirate Activist Group⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  It’s not accelerating the trend one bit by opening it to everyone. Music labels and Spotify don’t plan on putting a stop to AI, they want to own it. The artists lost decades ago and siding with copyright juggernauts doesn’t help them on the slightest.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Spotify Music Library Scraped by Pirate Activist Group⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  It hurts record companies. They want to own all AI generated music. It’s quite clear with what happened to udio. It’s monopolies against open source, not AI against artists.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Larian announce plans to let folks ask anything about their generative AI use, asserting "a lot has become lost in translation"⁩ ⁨⁨4⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Using scraped data to train AI models was never seen as theft before the recent media campaign.

  Labeling it as such won’t stop AI, it will just let aggregation websites like Reddit and Deviant Art set the entry price. Any artist that uploads his work on the net has already signed his rights away when it comes to this.

  It’s even worse when you get into music gen (5 corps own all the data) and video gen (Hollywood and YouTube). Individuals are simply not getting a piece of the pie no matter what happens.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Tencent ‘Horizon clone’ pulled from stores as Sony settles lawsuit⁩ ⁨⁨4⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Transformers, turok and mecha Godzilla come to mind. Not post apocalyptic per say but saying Sony own robo dinos in a post apocalyptic future sounds fool hardy.

  This is in no way good for us, the consumers. If it was Nintendo doing it, everyone be would be livid.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Is the RAM prices explosion another manufactured crisis to corps drain money from people before the AI bubble collapses?⁩ ⁨⁨4⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  I’d give it less credence if it wasn’t for Altman trying to buy the wafers themselves.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Is the RAM prices explosion another manufactured crisis to corps drain money from people before the AI bubble collapses?⁩ ⁨⁨4⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Certain companies are buying up all the stock because it stops individuals from building their own AI capable rig and forces them and businesses into subscription models.

  They are using copyright laws in the same way and lobbying so building new models legally costs millions of dollars and open sourcing stop being viable.

  The biggest threat to the AI bubble is people running the same services out of their home for a fraction of the price with open source alternatives.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨It Only Takes A Handful Of Samples To Poison Any Size LLM, Anthropic Finds⁩ ⁨⁨4⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  I just think the big players aren’t touching personal blogs and social media anymore and only use specific vetted sources, or have other strategies in place to counter it. Anthropic is the one that told everyone how to do it, I can’t imagine them doing it if it could affect them.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨It Only Takes A Handful Of Samples To Poison Any Size LLM, Anthropic Finds⁩ ⁨⁨4⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  That being said, sabotaging all future endeavors would likely just result in a soft monopoly for the current players, who are already in a position to cherry pick what they add. I wouldn’t be surprised if certain companies are already poisoning the well to stop their competitors tbh.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨[Episode] A Wild Last Boss Appeared! • Yasei no Last Boss ga Arawareta! - Episode 12 discussion⁩ ⁨⁨5⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  I’m not a big fan of the “fight everyone until they become your friend” trope. It makes every villain seem lackluster imo. I enjoyed Dina as a character and how the Mc and their character were merging together. The rv seemed a bit too easy. I also don’t get why Dina would alienate a fellow player like that, when I expect there aren’t many. I haven’t watched the last episode and a half though.

  A good watch but only because this season was so lacking.
