Nobody would ever say "Asian" when referring to the south east Asians powers though. Call it European colonial powers or something. It gets tiresome being lumped in with destruction caused by Britain, France, etc... when your own nation was nothing but potato farmers at the time.
programming.dev will migrate over to (lemmy compatible) Sublinks once it's ready, which will feature a different set of mod features. For that reason we will need new moderators to have an active programming.dev account. If you're willing keep an active user account on our instance let me know. We would prefer people we know will actively use their mod account to make sure reports are handled in a timely manner.
I'm pretty sure it's generating racially diverse nazis due to companies tinkering with the prompts under the hood to counterweight biases in the training data. A naive implementation of generative AI wouldn't output black or Asian nazis.
it doesn't have EQ or sociological knowledge.
It sort of does (in a poor way), but they call it bias and tries to dampen it.
The team is fairly unison in wanting to avoid defederation as much as possible and leave it users to filter out content they personally don't enjoy. Programming is a big and diverse field, and we want to make it as open as possible to everyone. Unless the instance breaks our own rules as described in the sidebar under "federation rules", I feel like it would be an overreach by us to defederate an instance due to personal opinion.
Photoshop (if it does?) and any other believable face swap apps use some sort of neural networks, which is exactly the problematic tech we are talking about.
Lower skill ceiling. One option can be done by pretty much anyone at a high volume output, the other would require a lot training and are not available for your average basement dweller.
Good luck trying to regulate it though, Pandora's box is opened and you won't be able to stop the FOSS community from working on the tech.
I don't believe for one bit that windows will move to a pure subscription based model. They are greedy, but not stupid.
What's more believable is that the base OS will be the same as usual, but if you want fancy AI assistants in your OS, you must subscribe, with the justification being that MS must pay for the servers running the models you're using.
if Valve isn't selling at a loss to poorer regions then they are simply extracting additional profit from higher-income regions on the assumption that those customers can afford it.
Valve can't sell for a loss the same way ebay can't. Valve simply takes a percentage of the price everytime a game is bought, publishers are in complete control of the price they want to sell. Often, publishers will let Steam automatically set regional pricing based e.g. the American price though.
The way these publishers operate, they will simply set the price at the highest possible value to extract as much as money ad they can from those willing to spend 60+$. Those unwilling or incapable of spending that amount of money, will just buy the game later on a sale. Price skimming has only become more and more prevalent in PC gaming with steam being the "innovator" of frequent sales.
Yes I did read it. I was pointing out that all this will do is screw over citizens of poorer EU countries. India vs USA was simply to make it obvious why the concept of geo blocking makes sense. Germans will on average have stronger buying power than someone in Latvia.
Steam is a storefront, not a competitor to game publisher. It's effectively no different than Lidl agreeing to run a regional rebate program for Samsung TVs in Latvia for whatever reason.
The geo blocking enabled cheaper prices for certain countries, not higher. The only people who would have an issue with it is people from richer countries that for some reason are jealous of lower prices in some countries.
Localised pricing is good though? Is it really fair ask someone in India to pay the same price as an American? If you can't geo block keys, you can't stop people taking advantage by using a VPN to buy games from whatever country got the lowest price. The result will just be publishers keeping the high price for every country, screwing poorer regions over.
Valve won't break the law for other publisher's profits. Steam is just a store front, they were geo blocking on behalf of other publishers.
Valve also doesn't take a cut from steam key sales not bought directly through their storefront, so the geoblocking keys isn't something that will impact them. More likely, this will result in citizens of poorer EU countries getting screwed over by having to pay higher prices for games, since they can't stop EU citizens from taking advantage of buying the game from the poorest EU country.
Nynorsk supporters just never quit do they. Half the country wants it gone and less than 10 percent of the country uses it, still it's on the list while Swedish and Danish aren't, lmao.
