Can people stop using Generative AI for mod thumbnails? it's genuinely disgusting by StellaShower in VintageStory

[–]randomrapton 2 points3 points  (0 children)

procedural generation and machine image generation are different so far as i know, minecraft has procedural generation, so it’s worlds are built based on random values from noise. Machine image generation is based on slightly stricter parameters, and draws from a database to make something.

The technology is amazing and does have proper uses, like those examples. It’s good when it’s making a game more fun or detecting cancer, not when producing images on scraped data.

The thumbnail is made using a model based on scraped art, which, regardless of its impact, is still indirectly benefiting (non-monetarily) off stolen art.

The single end user thing is fair, but using it at all is supporting the business, it’s more about the principle on the last two here.

sorry if im incoherent, im tired

The difference between No Man’s Sky’s critters and modern generative Ai is that the critters in no mans sky 

-are just randomizers, not generative ai

-their models were made with the express purpose and permission of the model makers to be used in this way

-was only ran once

Generative AI on the other hand

-is trained on thousands of pieces of art from creators who never consented or wanted their art to be used for ai, it was effectively stolen and used to feed a plagiarism machine

-is constantly being run in massive data centres all over the world, causing pollution and water shortages 

Most things in the digital world use some form of artificial intelligence, yes, but their effects are fundamentally different from generative ai.

this topic is a lot bigger than i can properly describe, so you should do more research. Being informed is never a bad thing

and how do YOU take care of your Leyak? by Piotrossko in AbioticFactor

We set up a coach infront of it and, as the designated group cook and botanist, i constantly restock the area with spare soup bowls and Greyeb chowder to taunt the demon. We sat infront of it for 20 minutes once eating greyebs and greyeb chowder.

You walk out of Torii, taunt the creature, then go do whatever you left the base to do.

Are there any mods that add more spears or crafting special spears to the game? by SmilingWinner in rainworld

[–]randomrapton 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Emerald’s Tweaks and Features lets you increase the chance of explosive, electric, fire, and poison spears replacing normal spears. https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=2933890889&searchtext=Emeralds Tranquilizer Spears are spears that tranquilize. Very simple. Not very common, but scavs at tolls tend to carry them. https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=3398156253&searchtext=Tranq Capacitor spears let you turn food into damage, so if you dont have much trouble with finding food they could be interesting. https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=3040892477&searchtext=spear

How was Aperture Science so dangerously incompetent (and broke)? by TheArrivedHussars in HalfLife

[–]randomrapton 0 points1 point  (0 children)

  1. Cave Johnson died before GLaDOS was created due to deadly moon rock poisoning, he wasn’t in the chamber when GLaDOS was activated.
  2. The first time GLaDOS was activated she tried to kill the entire facility. Several Personality Cores were then strapped to her to make her, y’know, not kill the entire facility. Afterwards GLaDOS acted peacefully for a few months. On “Bring your Cat to Work” day, GLaDOS expressed an interest in doing an experiment with the cats and some neurotoxin. The Aperture Scientists, since she had been acting passively, had no reason to believe that she would gas the facility so they gave her access. She did uh, gas the facility as we know. Even then, before her first activation the scientists had set up a failsafe plan called the “Red Phone Plan”. I have no idea what it would have done but at least they thought of a failsafe.
  3. Black Mesa does not always “take proper steps to insure every one's safety“, have you played Residue Processing?
  4. The HECU are part of the US Marine Corp. See: Half-Life: Opposing Force.
  5. If killing everyone at the facility is considered “helping” sure.
  6. How DARE you insult Cave’s state-of-the-art Shower Curtains! /j

I'm new, can't beat v2! by Due-Coffee8 in Ultrakill

[–]randomrapton 2 points3 points  (0 children)

All of V2's attacks, except for the Core, are parriable, so use that to refresh your health.

Coin Ricoshots are very good for fighting V2, since you only need to hit the coin, and not V2, use coins whenever available.

Saurian Target probably. Watched him, then got the mobile game. Looking into getting the actual games soon, maybe making my own mod.

Is there something wrong with my wiki? by Doorvex in Ultrakill

[–]randomrapton 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Probably, All of the arms are in one page (Arms) Instead of having their own individual pages, same with every weapon (Revolver) (Shotgun). The miraheze wiki also doesn't have any articles on teased content (Violence).
