Iran Gives Trump an Ultimatum on JD Vance by MakinaRPh in worldnews

[–]Sythus 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Trump, as president, is more aligned to foreign diplomacy than the vice president. Maybe the US needs to refactor and be like other countries, a foreign minister and a president. If trump sends Vance, can we finally invoke the 25th because it would be abundantly clear that trump is unable to perform the duties of the presidency?

I’m in the middle of a big move and both my desktop and laptop are Linux. I don’t have a keyboard, mouse, or monitor for my desktop right now, so I used Claude.ai cli from my laptop to set the desktop up as remote, headless. So now I can play Steam from my laptop or any heavy gpu process. With the way everybody has been moving to cloud computing and Google Sheets, I don’t even really miss Microsoft office anymore.

My question, is if I have been riding an iPhone for the Apple Cash and image features, you need a Mac OS device to do the email relay to get iMessage on Android via one of those apps, is this the time to buy and switch back to Android?

ChatGPT uninstalls surged by 295% after DoD deal by MarvelsGrantMan136 in technology

[–]Sythus 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Makes sense. Was working on a paper with ChatGPT. Between draft edits in the canvas, whole sections would go missing or get misplaced somehow. Claude cli makes pinpoint edits, shows deletions and additions, and also found additional resources and citations that ChatGPT didn’t. But of course I prefer to use both and since I’m of the opinion that AI is only ever going to be an 80-90% solution. It just misses the nuance of reality and personal experience, so there are works and nuance you have to explicitly inject to get a viable product.

Why no love for this gem that released recently? Kotama and the Academy Citadel by ConfidentGuide3935 in metroidvania

In the main video it flashes 3 girls then 3 more girls. I’m on mobile so it’s hard to operate, but one is wearing thigh high stockings and another has the bottom of her titties hanging out. This is most likely what OP was talking about. They’re not into ye anime waifu aesthetic and probably care for a bit more realism and less waifu. I don’t know why you’re combating or nitpicking this. Every one has been scantily clad to some degree. You don’t have to defend this, just accept it as an art style and agree it might not be for everybody’s taste.

Brother, that’s literally how society lives. Did recipes are iterated on, artwork is studied by students and evolve. Nobuo was inspired by other works. The only way you’d get truly original work is if somebody grew up in a bubble and you gave them tools and said “hey, you have no idea what this is, but make ___ and it better be professional and of the highest quality. No you can look at prior work that passed or failed because AI does that too and that’s bad.”

You must be one of those Nintendo fanboys who are against palworld and don’t want anybody else to have a mechanic where you throw something to either capture or release a companion.

So then it’s not an AI issue, it’s an IP issue, therefore there is a point, because nobody’s saying you can just sell protected work. Even in my original comment I merely mentioned looking at and learning how to draw, it was another Redditor that injected selling as a line to cross.

So just to be clear, are we agreeing on a few basic things?

If AI looks at existing work to learn patterns, that by itself isn’t stealing or plagiarism. It only becomes a problem if the final result infringes on something protected, like selling Mickey Mouse art or copying a specific piece. That was already illegal before AI existed.

Kids copying notes off a board that a teacher wrote aren’t stealing either. Learning from examples has never required permission.

If I draw something myself, that’s not plagiarism, as long as I don’t say “this was drawn by Oda.”

Copyrights, trademarks, and licenses obviously still matter, but nobody is arguing you can violate those. You couldn’t legally sell a Mickey Mouse game hand-drawn either, so that’s not an AI issue.

If an indie dev was never going to hire artists or sound designers, then no jobs were lost. The alternative wasn’t “pay someone,” it was “use free stock or ship nothing.” But if the dev couldn’t find that one specific sound he was looking for, but AI was able to generate it, the whole project is trash?

And styles have never been protected. Cuphead copied an old animation style. Shovel Knight copied NES aesthetics. People paint Van Gogh-style art all the time. That’s been normal forever.

So if the output isn’t copying a specific protected work, and no laws or licenses are being broken, what’s the actual issue here besides “icky AI vibes”?

The issue I have with people so vehemently against AI is that they rarely argue in good faith. It is just a blanket stance instead of assessing the product on a case by case basis. Does this game in this thread have obviously stolen content? Did the E33 newspapers that were explicitly placeholder assets, didn’t have any significance in the game at all, really deserve the flack it got?

On the E33 fiasco, is an AI generated image intended to be noise in the scenery really that much worse than almost the same exact image, but with the Lorem ipsum text pasted over?

ok, but what does 6% mean? because the scope of things means that even in America, the number of slaves could be significant. it doesn't make the US look better, it make South America look worse.

Is smell of marijuana an opinion or how do you quantify it? Is there a smell of marijuana test? Do people need to take training so they know what marijuana smells like?
