thank you! hailuo has a great Character Reference ability and yesterday they added something that should allow 2 specific characters to interact in the same scene if used smartly. Should get better and better :)
Reminds me of when a business bans mention of it's competitors because they know their own offering is trash (rather than make something they are proud of). I think it's called Insecurity.
If the openly available China stuff is so great, make something great yourself if you want to compete with them. To instead ban it is to essentially hold americans down and reduce the quality of what they can do. So nah. Trash Trump decision. No one wants Altman as US AI posterboy. Don't force people from openly available high quality stuff on to the Altman bandwagon.
A real company should be able to mention their competitors without fear because they are proud of what they made and genuinely think it's the best and, if it isn't, they are actively improving it to the point they feel it is.
This decision basically shows US AI insecurity, there will be a shift, and that Altman can't compete with better people.
As a main communitymember on a site with chats used by a huge amount of kids, I have seen how the internet makes it very easy, compared to oldentimes, for pedos to be in areas high in children. One of the kids there often complains about pedos and asked me to help remove them. So, with kids being a defenseless flock of animals, there ARE kids who then take a Defender role and they become the ouster of pedos. Also noteworthy is, right before I emailed an official pedocatching organization, the kid I was helping got in a confrontation and spilled the antipedo plans; which alerted the pedos and spoiled the plan. So the issue with kids doing high stakes things is they are mentally still children.
overall, pedos in kid areas, thanks to the internet, feels, to me, also on the rise. And those areas SHOULD have the pedos removed in an organized acceptable fashion; and that that doesn't happen causes some Defender kids to think they need to do it themselves.
imo get better real official pedo prevention measures up in kid spaces to reduce vigilantiism.
got to the second sentence and didn't bother reading farther lol. looks like someone had their oatmeal pooped in this morning. blocked. weird when ppl hit the internet in a rage.
the wisdom here is: Dont let aggressive people drag you down to their level.
