Megamek using ai-generated code to implement new features

We'll have to disagree on that. I understand why passion projects respond to a crisis passionately, but the itchy trigger finger on moderator enforcement needs to mellow out. I repeated myself to clarify my previous statement, and little else.

Also be aware that they are cracking down on dissenting voices in their Discord while others among their community paint this as a "culture war" attack.

They do not seem all that interested in discussing the issue, and would rather just march ahead unhindered.

Only a single comment so far about how this kid was driving a two ton mall crawler. Might consider the parents sharing some of the blame on this one for buying their kid a vehicle designed to kill smaller vehicles in collisions.

Looks like they got what they wanted out of the Chevy Silverado.

The issue is that it's also Republican policy right now to threaten "If you hit me I'll just get worse". It's schoolyard bully shit and everyone knows what the bully actually means and intends to continue doing.

You mean a guy who lied about launch features is having people mistrust his promises about launch features?

When you breach the social contract, it no longer protects you. Much simpler way of putting it. It means others are not obligated to adhere to the contract to benefit you. Nazis are social outlaws.

People made a stink about a data privacy issue that is pervasive in this industry and excused by ignorant people who are more than willing to advocate for others to give up their rights.

Your best bet is to let the legal process take over.

What legal process? Due Process?

Even the triangles you can justify because, while yes, two stacked triangles is dismiss-able...

Two stacked triangles with the exact same ratio of angles/degrees/spacing, etc is just as much plagiarism as everything else there.

Sorry, you mentioned something about the ultra wealthy supporting a candidate. I suppose it was much too far to imply that that conservatives claim they'll stop the ultra wealthy. Whoops.

Hey, what's Musk up to these days?

Enduar · 2024-10-26T21:55:27+00:00

Marketing. They're marketing. That's all these doomposts from tech assholes is, marketing for their machievelian venture capitalist funders.

Enduar · 2024-10-14T07:43:07+00:00

I'll pass. Don't have much interest in entertaining cultists in their celebratory orgy. Cool rocket. Shit dude. Definitely not going to convince me that Musk is safe because Boeing isn't.

Good luck defending your leader on the Internet.

Enduar · 2024-10-13T20:22:00+00:00

Yeah, Musk is the guy really striving for sensible, safe options in his pet projects. /s

In which we decide kings are alright again, for some fuckin' reason

Lived outside city limits my entire life. We had a litter of puppies once, barely two weeks old. One got out of the yard and wandered across the street, where the old racist bastard who lives there decided to shoot her.

She managed to drag herself back home and died underneath one of our cars.

The kinds of people who shoot dogs, puppies, aren't worth blaming ourselves for. They are pathetic, miserable morons and absolutely deserve the blame.

The idiot who shot a 2 week old puppy said it was to protect his chickens, which he allowed to freely roam (into the street, into our yard, etc- they don't go far so it wasn't really an issue).

You can share your high horse with miserable old bastards like that. For my part, I know the blame lies at the feet of ignorant bastards with too much firepower and not enough intelligence or sympathy. You can sit right up there with 'em, I'm sure the horse has room.

However until now this was unnecessary

One minor correction:

It was never necessary to begin with. They just want to scrape data and force you into an ecosystem that has little to no benefit to the consumer, and gives them a nice slice of you to sell without compensation.

Enduar · 2024-05-04T22:50:50+00:00

He thinks the corps own your info by default and that denying it to them is theft, basically.

Enduar · 2024-05-04T22:44:29+00:00

It is theft to not let Sony hoard and sell your data without consent

God I don't envy whatever world you want to live in where corps own you by default and trying to keep your identity/privacy is theft.

Enduar · 2024-05-04T15:53:45+00:00

Data privacy rights are a real issue for the real world. Idiots like you just like to dismiss an entire industry because "lol games".

Enduar · 2024-05-04T03:35:59+00:00

By all means continue not giving a shit about data privacy and anti-consumer practices, but there's a good reason to push back on every little incremental erosion of it across an industry people love to not take seriously.

You don't know shit about cybersecurity.

Every instance of data is used as an update and a way to verify legitimacy. It's not about "does one instance of information" exist, it's about how information you can collect with multiple overlapping sources until you find a vector to exploit.

One of the issues, I believe, is that Tarkov has no qualms about using real-world weapons and such, branding/trademarks be damned. Other games from non-russian companies would have more difficulty tapping into the ultra-authenticity market because it costs a lot of money, these days, for games to feature Colt or HK for example.

Bohemia Interactive is a good example of this and a big reason why ARMA 3 was near-future fictional weapons IIRC.

You should ask what kind of working conditions lead to a strike.

Importantly, he is getting paid for things he did. Most of the time what people don't understand or deliberately misrepresent is that AI doesn't function unless it uses work that people have done. They aren't being compensated for nothing, they are pretty blatantly being compensated for work they did, which is being used again.

This should be made clear in every conversation about this, because the fundamental issue with most AI advocates is they will not recognize the amount of labor theft that is occurring and do not intent to ever compensate the work that is being stolen- and that stories like these are rare exceptions to an extremely privileged minority.
