I'm not sure what you mean by this. Information has always been free if you look hard enough. With the advent of the internet, you're able to connect with people who possess this information and you're likely to find it for free on YouTube or other websites.
Copyright exists to protect against plagiarism or theft (in an ideal world). I understand the frustration that comes with archaic laws and that updates to laws move at a glacier's pace, however, the death of copyright harms more people than you're expecting.
Piracy has existed as long as the internet has. Companies have been complaining ceaselessly about lost profits but once LLMs came along, they're fine with piracy if it's been masked behind a glorified search algorithm. They're fine with cutting jobs and replacing them with an LLM that produces less quality output at significantly cheaper rates.
I get that part but I think what gets taken more seriously is how 'human" the responses seem which is a testament to how good the LLM model is. But that's set dressing when GPT has been known to give incorrect, outdated or contradictory answers. Not always but unless you know what kind of answer to expect, you have to verify what it's telling you which means you'll be spending half the time fact-checking the LLM.
You can't feed it perceptions no more than you can feed me your perceptions. You give it text and the quality of the output is determined by how the LLM has been trained to understand that text. If by feeding it perceptions, you mean by what it's trained on, I have to remind you that the reality GPT is trained on is the one dictated by the internet with all of its biases. The internet is not a reflection of reality, it's how many people escape from reality and share information. It's highly subject to survivorship bias. If the information doesn't appear on the internet, GPT is unaware of it.
To give an example, if GPT gives you a bad output and you tell it that it's a bad output, it will apologise. This seems smart but it's not really. It doesn't actually feel remorse, it's giving a predetermined response based on what it's understood by your text.
For one thing, you can do the task completely unprompted. The LLM has to be told what to do. On that front, you have an idea in your head of the task you want to achieve and how you want to go about doing it, the output is unique because it's determined by your perceptions. The LLM doesn't really have perceptions, it has probabilities. It's broken down the outputs of human creativity into numbers and is attempting to replicate them.
Okay this article is shittily worded and the Bloomberg article it links to is paywalled so I found this which goes into much greater detail.
TLDR: Valve and five other publisher's were blocking activation of keys sold to people/distributors from distributors/vendors who purchased them from cheaper regions.
There's so few instances of corporations doing actually good things so opinions tend to skew negative. Epic hasn't been thought of fondly since they started doing those exclusivity deals to try and bring people to their platform rather than making their platform a worthy competitor to Steam.
Windows 10 seems to be using standard ad algorithms to personalise ads. There's the usual business that whatever data points it can gather like what you say, or search, or click on, is influencing what ads you're seeing.
With Windows 11, it's built from the ground up to be integrated with ChatGPT. I was sitting in a presentation months ago where Microsoft were presenting Copilot.
Your other comment below, I strongly agree with. I'm happy to be running Linux but I believe that the downsides can be configured out of your system. That being said, Divine Divinity is the only game I've run into so far that doesn't play well with Wayland but that not unique to me, Divine Divinity doesn't play well with anything.
Look dude, I don't know if I have ADHD, I'm not going to self-diagnose. I'm at 71 hours in BG3 and I'm still on Act 1. Getting to Act 3 is an achievement in that game. There's so much shit to do, so much to explore. My friend is on his 4th playthrough.
You couldn't get anyone to volunteer their personal information to feed this machine. Then again, people are handing over their retinal data to some shady startup so who am I kidding.
