Nowadays a console is just a locked down, less expensive pc. I think buying the components of a ps5 and assembling the pc is more expensive than just buying a console and liberating it, which is what I would do if I was to ever buy one.
I thought it was like a coping mechanism to make him more adjusted. Sometimes when he doesn't describe brands or simply there aren't any designer products, he loses his mind very quickly.
It could also be about corporate behavior but I haven't had the chance to meet anyone that entrenched.
At first I thought the book was really boring with all of the brands and clothes descriptions that took half of the chapters. After that the senseless killings and brutality got to me in the end.
There comes a point in the book when the constant one-upping the last scene just makes me need two or more sessions to get through the chapter. The last "Girls" chapters are specially gruelling.
I think that if someone uploads mario doing warcrimes to twitter and it gets viral, there is no "I made it with my own brush" that can save you from Nintendo taking the artwork down.
This example also works with a fanart of a celebrity in a sexual context without any AI use.
In my opinion making AI stop taking copyrighted content can only be enforced by making all AI development open source, datasets and models included. This is the way to loosen the control bigmonopolies like Google and Microsoft have over it.
I'm really not in the know abput these things but I have seen free fangames taken down because they used copyrighted property even though the creators don't receive a penny.
I think that if I paint with my own brush a mario artwork that isn't to Nintendo's standart, they have the legal power to take it down from wherever I upload
The problem is that if copyrighted works are used, you could generate a copyrighted artwork that would be made into public domain, stripping its protection. I would love this approach, the problem is the lobbyists don't agree with me.
Will the battery be removable for the next model? Is the model locally run?
