So you're saying the example above does only one attempt at a time? And does not reinforce the correct performance via scoring? Is that not exactly what was said?

And yet, if you are being instructed to reproduce the Mona Lisa in explicit detail, billions of times as a computer is, 1 layer of abstraction in a digital training is not at all the same as your example with human artists.

Oh, and Bot 1 isn't instructing Bot 2, it is instructing Bots 2-1,000,000, all at the same time. And each round it kills 999,998 of them, and births another 999,998 of them based on the best of them and goes again.

This is not like you example. It is more like brute forcing a password.

Tell me you don't know how AI works, while sounding arrogant.

"literally has no memory" is a fun semantic argument against the actual reality that these models have been caught attempting to reproduce the signatures of artists they trained on, and in some cases reproducing the likeness of copyrighted photos from key phrases. Like the "Afghan Girl" fiasco that say them ban the phrase immediately.

This was with Midjourney https://youtu.be/kqPKNksl9hk?si=i9rFLHyg8ImRuTjb

Your argument is basically that if I type in "Mona Lisa" into a generative engine and get a copy of the Mona Lisa with slightly wavier hair, and some trees in the background are different, that it is not derivative. Which is a laugh.

They had to ban the phrase "Afghan Girl" from GPT models because they were reproducing a 1990s National Geographic cover, every time.

These could be good tools, but right now they are being trained to steal 9ther artists styles based on keywords, not to enhance the user's work in their own style.

More accurately: Should we ban someone from launching a new TV show called Smashing Bad that stars Wally Witten, a high school chemistry teacher who turns to crime to make fentanyl and...

Yes I think we should. That is derivative work. The AI projects are not a tool, they are automated derivation made on models based on stolen art.

These tools need to be trained on data sets that were not stolen, first off. And the results need to be a tool, like generative fill in photoshop, that is based on the rest of the image. Not a replacement for the image itself.

Very similar app also available called Island. Basically the same function, allows you to make a locally administered work profile instance, and then you can copy items over from the main instance and keep them up to date passively from the play store.

Honestly when it drops to $150 or so, I'm in. Mostly for these same reasons. I use the PS5 on the good TV, but if I wanna be in the room with my partner while they watch a trash reality show, and keep working on my game, this is perfect. At $200, I'll stick with remote play on Android and a Bluetooth controller, but the Portal seems better for this use case. So when the price is low enough... Sure.

Spoken like someone who doesn't rely on that skill to eat. Well done.

My last Ubisoft title I didn't get for free was AC4 I think. Chose a good time to drop off. Like you I'm not boycotting actively as much as I hate their practices and they have shitty games that all feel pretty similar after a certain point.

I would love to go back to an artist release model and purchase model where non superstars (with big label circulation) can be successful again.

As is, the same corps own the radio and the venues and the ads. Spotify harms Mariah Carey for example by undervaluing her songs on streaming, but at a fraction of the harm it inflicts to smaller artists.

Cry harder billionaire.

Literally made his money on exploitation and lies. SpaceX is amazing, but built on much smarter minds; he was just the wallet. And he bought Tesla and has been lying and overpromising since he did.

It sounds odd to say it, but before apps, when they were websites, these services were a lot more unique.

As apps, since match group owns them all, they all eventually degrade into Tindr but worse somehow.

The swiping for hot or not fundamentally is superficial and suited to hooking up. So why is it added to dozens of services claiming to make deeper connections?

Try again. Not that kind of clicker.

Ah yes, the fabled year of two thousand and didn't happen.

This is an absurdly oversimplified version of events. The Taliban waged a successful insurgency effort for nearly 2 decades, and remained armed and organized the entire time. The reason they took over after US withdrawl was in no way because they were "what people wanted". They killed those who opposed them swiftly, and have continued to do so. They took power through swift application of force.

They will never "change their government from within". The Taliban is not a democracy where you vote on policy. It's is a religious group and opposition to their policies is handled as opposition to God. You will die.

I understand the tact you were attempting to take here, but the Taliban is not a populist force in the region, at all. There was fairly widespread support (not unanimous) for the changes the US brought, but rebuilding a nation is not simple. Corruption can take decades to expunged. Unfortunately the Taliban returned first and the sitting leadership just rolled over and hoped not to die.

Can I play solo offline?

Then no thank you.

Seasons and battle passes and an upfront cost.

You get to pay in so many different ways!

Japanese companies, this isn't a wish, it's a fundamental truth of the universe. Like gravity. No matter the scale or importance of them. I promise you your car exists because of an Excel 2003 file on some underpaid engineer's laptop that they periodically sync with an inventory system.

More like "if this car is otherwise the best option, I'll go for it, but your policies are actively having me court your compeititors and damaging brand loyalty."
