  • You are being intentionally obtuse. It's not that the thing itself literally does not exist at all, it's that the ownership of ideas is not real. When you steal a physical item the original owner is deprived of that item. When you copy an idea the original "owner" still has access to it.

  • To be fair AMD recently had a bug where the 6000 series GPUs would sit at 96 mhz unless you set your refresh rate below 100hz and that also took a couple months to be fixed. I was randomly getting 20fps in every game until I managed to find this gitlab issue. It started in kernel 6.4 and wasn't fixed until 6.6 so I had to play at 90hz on my 165hz monitor for that whole span.

  • It's not actually based on the year. There have been 21 other major releases at various intervals starting with 1.0 in 2006. It just happens to be close to the current year right now.

  • I'm going to assume you're in the Netherlands because of feddit.nl. The 6650XT that I mentioned earlier is €247 on amazon.nl while the Series X is €539. And the 6700XT is €349. That's €200 less for the 6700XT and €300 less for the 6650XT. And that's just Amazon-- I'm sure there are used options on sites I'm not going to know about. And again assuming you are using the console for 5 years the real cost is €539 + €300 = €839. You can definitely build a better PC for that much.

    EDIT: Here you go. A decent gaming PC with performance that should roughly be on-par with consoles for €593 which is less than the price of the Series X + 1 year of Xbox Live (€599). And this is with all new parts. I usually recommend going used for everything but storage, but I wouldn't know if ebay is good or what the alternative is for you.

  • The point isn't how good they look, the point is that it's not actually 4K. You can run your PC games at 1080p on a 4K screen and get the same experience. That's what DLSS and FSR are already doing. And if both are $500 it's not a fraction of the price it's the same price. Actually over time PC is cheaper because you're not paying $60/year for online.

    After 5 years your $500 console actually cost $800. That's $300 you could have spent on more games or on a stronger GPU that can maybe actually run higher resolutions or higher framerates. At the end of the day consoles are the illusion of a good value. It is smoke and mirrors.

  • The Series X and the PS5 are both roughly around the performance of a 6700XT, possibly lower depending on where you look. Any "4K" that is happening is upscaling. Most games run on the equivalent of low or medium settings, use dynamic resolution, checkerboard rendering, or for big games like Starfield or Elden Ring will run at 30fps.

  • What do you mean too expensive? While the higher-end GPUs are still ridiculous, you can find something like the 6650XT for ~$200 and that is more than enough for 1080p gaming. Meanwhile SSDs and RAM are at an all-time low price because of how cheap NAND flash is. Throw in a previous gen Ryzen 5 or i5 for ~$100 and you could easily build a competent gaming PC for $500. Plus you don't have to pay the $60/year tax for online and get access to Steam sales and mods. And torrents if you're into that.

  • Obviously this is using some bug and/or weakness in the existing training process, so couldn't they just patch the mechanism being exploited?

    Or at the very least you could take a bunch of images, purposely poison them, and now you have a set of poisoned images and their non-poisoned counterparts allowing you to train another model to undo it.

    Sure you've set up a speedbump but this is hardly a solution.

  • That's not true at all. That only applies to coins using "proof of work." Ethereum for example is extremely popular and doesn't use that. You should really learn more about the topic before spreading misinformation.

  • This would definitely fall under the "source-available" category.

  • Unfortunately they got rid of port forwarding so it's not great for torrents. AirVPN is the way to go now. It's also only about $3/mo if you do 3 years at a time.

  • I thought I would check back later and sure enough it's removed now. Definitely an error.

  • Doesn't look like there's an English dub sadly.

    It does say "Main Feature Audio: Dolby TrueHD: English 5.1" but I can't find information on the cast or anything so it might just be copy/pasted from other BDs.

  • Pipewire has been so good to me that I didn't even notice it hadn't had its full 1.0 release yet.

  • Because the human artists were already credited. It's under every image on the results page. I just assumed you meant the AI generated ones because it wouldn't make sense to ask for something that is already there.

  • But you will always hand pick generated images. It's not like you hit the generate button once and call it a day, you hit it dozens of times tweaking it until you get what you want. This is a perfectly representative sample.

  • You realize these models are trained on billions of images, right? You want a list of millions of names? For what purpose?

  • It's also one of the funniest games I've ever played. There are so many moments where I fully burst out laughing. The game absolutely rules.
