I'm at the point where I'm just going to cancel and restart my subscription whenever something I want to watch is on. My parents are locked out of my acct, and they used it more than I do, so there's no point in just me keeping it.

Unexplainable results should never be probable cause because you can't determine that the decisions were not made using protected traits either directly or inferred.

I'm less concerned about that if its purely public data. If a police officer sat in a helicopter looking for drivers driving erratically, then notified a trooper on the ground to check on the car, and perform a field sobriety test if there is cause to do so I think that would fall within the confines of the law, even though thousands of cars could have been in their field of view and considered for potential DUI.

I am of the opinion that if the data is not either directly in public view, or the user can opt out of persisting it and it is available to the general public, even if for a fee, then its fine to use the data. I think any kind of AI algorithm's suggestions on its own should not be considered probable cause, you can use it to narrow down suspects, but you need actual evidence for a warrant or arrest.

I think the issue I have with this situation is collecting and storing such a vast amount of travel data on individuals without their consent. If leaked, that data could be used to track down victims of stalking and abuse, or political dissidents.

I did prefer the adventure arc of Tress, but Yumi was more about characters and their relationships with each other.

At that point, why license the likeness of real people instead of just using an AI generated face?

It's close. I enjoyed them both, but preferred Tress. Tress is more of an adventure, while Yumi sits in a setting and explores that one area more as well as relationships between characters.

There were definitely parts of Yumi I liked more than Tress, but as a whole story, Tress was closer to my preferred style.

Ah, I misread your comment. I read them in a wonky order. I read the Stormlight Archive first, then backfilled mistborn, and snuck in Elantris. I basically see references I don't get, then try and read the book they came from, then hop back to the major books.

Its more objective criticism of governments and cultural practices that happen to be islamic is not islamophobia. There is absolutely real prejudice by people against others who practice specific faiths and cultural practices.

That was the original definition of islamophbia, we shouldn't give up the definition because abusers and tyrants are using it as a shield or else they'll just hide behind the next word we choose to describe prejudice against a community.

If you're sensitive about spoilers, I would wait until after reading the first 3 mistborn books.

I read it after all tree books of the first Mistborn Trilogy, I think I preferred it that way, kept more of the mystery around the events of Well of Ascension and Hero of Ages.

Edit: Totally misread the second sentence, thought they hadn't read everything.

I thought it was good, Sanderson was selling it as a good first cosmere book, but there's a lot of conversations that just go over your head if you're not familiar w/ how things work in the cosmere. I think Tress is still probably a better first read for him.

I imagine any time a given server's quality drops, people will just move to another one. I had login issues for a few days on lemmy.world and started using lemmy.ml.

I think its a good thing, healthy for the ecosystem that there's not only redundancy where one site having a moment doesn't kill everyone's ability to use lemmy, and also provides a clear incentive for individual servers to provide good service.

"Yumi and the Nightmare Painter" Brandon Sanderson, his new kickstarter book. Like most of his books, I often find them a bit slow to start, but get super invested (no pun intended) by about a third to halfway through.

That's only if you assume that you winning the lottery falls within the infinite, but bounded, realm of random fluctuations between when you bought the ticket and the winning numbers are drawn. There's still physical constraints that the random quantum fluctuations fall within.

An example is, there are infinite numbers between 1 and 2, there's 1.1, 1.11, 1.111, etc. Because of the constraints however, we can still know that none of those infinite numbers between 1 and 2 are equal to 3. Infinite doesn't mean anything is possible.

I use ChatGPT for name generation, and you can start seeing the name table it has squirreled away after a certain point. I wonder if you ran several sessions with it, if you'd start seeing a lot of the same plot points and characters showing up?

I feel like AI posts in this context are no more harmful than Photoshop. It's not really a community about artistry or appreciating the authenticity of the post.

I would say let them. If people feel deceived by this, but not when someone claims a drawing or picture is theirs when it's not, that's a them problem.

Dwarf Fortress is great once you get past the steep learning curve.
