DuckDuckGo has been giving me poor results lately - especially when I look for news, everything is a redirect to Bing now - so I instead use Brave Search. It’s kind of disappointing since DDG had always worked great for me
People don’t become like this,
I hope I will duck off before we go full dystopian
Stormtroopers are robots!
Jokes aside, you don’t have to have everything explained to understand something. Yes, they didn’t show the bodies but you with a little use of logic you can see that Leia complaining about her pacific, weaponless planet being blown means it’s not desert. Same goes for the Death Star on which you see there are people until a few seconds later where it blows up
Suure, Aalderan is in the sequel; Death Star 1 and 2 is in the sequel; Obi Wan cut the limbs off a few aliens in the first half of A New Hope. Slavery is shown with Princess Leia in the third instalment of OT. There are more women in the same scene with basically no clothes that make you think they aren't "just" slaves. And I almost forgot, Han gets tortured in Ep 5 as well
Like, the hell are you smoking lol
I mean, in Lion King and Land Before Time do:
- people get slaughtered?
- limbs get cut?
- younglings get slayed?
- there is slavery
- there is a fascist regime
If yes, then yes they aren't light-hearted movies. You consider SW a light hearted movie just cause you haven't put much of a thought behind what things really are, but SW isn't light hearted at all lol. Unless, that is, for you that stuff is light hearted, but then I dunno what you may consider not light hearted
This alongside most eastern members, so it clearly is more than just a "next election" move; surely that plays a part, as always, but the problem is objective and is there.
Ukraine economy is guaranteed by both EU and US, so they don't need to trade their grain in Europe.
From the article:
On Wednesday, Zelenskiy used his speech to the UN general assembly to accuse the countries of hypocrisy and acting in Russia’s interests. “It’s alarming to see how some in Europe play out solidarity in a political theatre – making a thriller from the grain,” he said. “They may seem to play their own role but in fact they are helping set the stage to a Moscow actor.”
Accusing people that have been handing out resources to your country to be Moscow's shill is gaslighting and, frankly, pathetic.
Why should we ban AI, a really useful technology, also for co-collaboration within the Arts, just because some people will make money with it? Art has been constant copypaste remixing anyhow.
I said ban for creative works, at least for commercial use, which is a very little part of what can be done with AI; and maybe personal informations processing though, cause you know... privacy
Why would anyone read GOT in space when they can just read GOT? The people opting for GOT in space will most likely already have read GOT anyhow
Because it won't be called GoT: space edition, it will be a rip-off of GoT with the same overarching story and characters but in a scifi/whatever setting. And yes, it already happens: many TV series on Netflix are a rip off of other successful series (most of the time produced by Netflix), which flood the platform; it happens with every single successful serie. You can find dozens if not more of the same, fucking, TV serie with a different name but with the same old jokes, characters, plot point and sometime style.
Why do people watch them anyway? For the same reason cable TV is so trash: cheap entertainment works, no matter how shitty it is; it happens with anime/manga/light novels too.
And yes, it is shitty. But at least it takes time to write and produce that crap, while with AI it will be immediate and cheap. Cheap and immediate means they will produce so much crap, finding quality stuff will be nigh impossible since it will cost much much more to produce with less earnings than garbage.
It will never surpass the original
I think you don't watch, play games et similia... originality is a luxury nowadays. Why do you think Netflix cancels every single serie that isn't a hit in the first few months? Cause they can. It is cheaper and lucrative to cancel what doesn't work and re-iterate on the same shitty formula until the crap sticks on the wall. And it works, they do it, and they do it now.
Also copyright should never forbid someone to write in the style of someone else. How would you even proove it?
It's already happening. Before, humans used to do the exact same. Why is it be different now with AI? It's just more and faster imo.
This is quite easy actually, while it's hard for technical things. Taking inspiration doesn't mean copying. Modern "AI" doesn't think, which means anything it does is a copy.
We are already reaching, if we aren't already, a Fahrenheit 451 level of entertainment, "AI" will surely put the final nail on the coffin.
"AI" are a beautiful thing, but in our current society, where profits is everything and people are nothing but a number, they are the scariest shit ever
It is likely that we will reach a point where these ML things will recognise patterns across creative works, see what sell and use them to make similar stories using those same patterns.
Which is clear they will sell more since they will be cheaper, faster to make thus flooding the market with engaging-but-unoriginal stories.
Imagine: a GOT in space, a GOT in fantasy, a mix between Star Wars and GOT, and so on. And they will always sell cause GoT is engaging, but none will be original but a soulless copy of the original GoT (for which Martin won’t see a buck).
Tbf, i think it would be better to ban this kind of “AI” - like ChatGPT, or the ones for the art et similia - from “producing” creative work - at least creative work to be sold - but capitalism gotta capitalise I guess.
EDIT: to be fair right now the main concern is about copyrighted creative work, but probably it’s the easier to ascertain if it’s been copied or not: take for example programming code, there are very few ways to know if a copyrighted code has been used and it will probably show how copyright is SO dumb and fallacious for technical and whatnot fields
in the original trilogy billions of people were killed, tortured, enslaved and all of that; in the prequel trilogy, it’s just as bad… Star Wars was never “light hearted”, just silly at times
2 millions troopers died on Death Star!
They are scared for the future, not the present. And considering the growth speed, it’s a warranted fear
Yeah, it’s obvious this is about the grain (or)deal. It’s so unnerving of Ukraine to pull this shit tbf, and kinda dumb too since it’s quite obvious that pissing off people who are giving you resources isn’t very smart - to say the least
In the app settings, appearance tab we have an accent colour option. There we can pick a css colour for the accents, which colours some icons etc.
If only they released it for PCs as well
It would be great if we could add a custom accent color (for example, I’d like to use the hex #f45)
The code: 43PMC-XM2J6-X33Y9-CPC6X-9KJK*
The missing letter is a character and not a number
As in, I won’t have to select in which drive I should install the games et similia, or move the games from the internal storage to the external and vice versa just to play
The title itself is a recipe for disaster. Also this is a semi rant.
Yesterday I was informed that I will have the honour to implement the core functionality - which is an interface layer to use the driver of a very expensive hardware shit - of the software I’ve been working on as a frontend dev.
There are two possibilities for the language: C++ or C#. The one that was proposed/imposed is C#, which I know nothing of, while at least I have some hobbyist experience with C++; when asked if I could take some time to familiarise myself with C# I was basically laughed in the face, saying I will learn on the field and at least some of them have some experience with it.
Should I insist to go with C++, or is that an even worse idea in an already fucked up situation?
The other day I asked for an analysis or at least an UML diagram since we are having quite some troubles and my boss looked disgusted at me for asking such a question. I’m not a professional backend developer, so I don’t know how it works professionally
I wonder if we will be able to save the web app to the dock, and we will receive the notifications etc just like a normal app
Is Musk competing with Zuck for the worst branding ever?
My feed is filled with dumb “advices”, so called “professionals” that post the most entry level stuff and all sorts of shit that if I were a recruiter I would stay away from these people
Even a setting that just redirects to m.lemmy.world would be good
Hi everyone! Yesterday I bought Hearts of Iron 4 on Steam but it didn't run at all on wayland. I tried using Proton Experimental, Proton GE latest, Proton 8.0.2 but none worked (even though on ProtonDB people say it works with proton 8.0.2). Then I switched to Xorg (which I never use and I would like not to), and it suddenly worked... is there a way to play it on Wayland or is it just Xorg?
Using:
- archlinux (everything updated)
- mesa latest from the stable repository
- wine-staging
- RX 6900XT
- Gnome 44
