The problem is that copyright law is never used by the small artists to protect their work, it’s only used by big corporations to put down the small artists, fuck with each other and find loop holes to abuse of it.
There’s what it should be for and what it’s actually used for.
It can eventually help disabled people move, see, hear and talk.
For everyday people, this will replace phones and computers completely. We will be able to project a private screen on any surface, even mid air. We will be thinking the words instead of saying them during phonecalls.
Movies and games are going to be so immersive it’s probably going to cause some serious societal issues. Larping is going to become big I’m guessing.
That’s just the surface stuff that’s easy to think of. It gets even nuttier if you think about recording and downloading dreams and memories, some of the really sci Fi stuff. The possibilities are literally endless. Obviously though, there’s a way to go, it’s still in its infancy.
Children that grow up in an apartheid state don’t need to be taught who their oppressor is. Having your childhood filled with corpses of friends, family and classmates already does that.
Don’t get me wrong, I’m not volunteering but eventually it will be safe.
Theres definitely barriers to overcome but to go with your analogy, I drive a car everyday on the highway even though a malfunction or even just an other user being stupid can easily lead to my death. That’s just to get to work or see friends. I could imagine myself braving worse to get to use full dive vr.
But you couldn’t pay me to get into one of those death traps when cars were first invented though. I’m eager but I will definitely wait a while before jumping in.
I would choose a character and concentrate on learning him. There are builds online you can use to not get over whelmed at first by the shop.
I play an other MOBA but there is probably a lane that has two players for most of the match, you should concentrate on playing one of those two types of characters so you and your son can maximise play time together, most likely the tank would be the better choice (more forgiving, easier to learn, support character so your son gets to be the hero).
This is some really cool tech and I’m happy the trials are starting. It’s a shame having it attached to Elon is ruining the perception of it, I’m hoping other companies get in the game soon.
Both are unacceptable but clearly Israel is more so. In a hostage situation, you don’t bomb the neighborhood. I’d also like to point out that nobody is really defending Hamas, which is more acceptable is missing the point entirely.
Israel has serious military advantage, they can basically force a cease fire at any time. They aren’t under threat and tbh, probably let the events that started all this happen for causus belli.
The article talks about a mostly symbolic UN vote that was vetoed by the US at the request of Israel. They don’t want a ceasefire, they don’t want their hostages back, they don’t want a solution.
They just want to keep bombing.
You clearly can’t grasp the real complicated scenario so he gave you a simplified version to make it easier to understand.
Anyone with even an ounce of empathy understands why Israel bombing children is always unacceptable. Nobody should need to explain it to you really
If Apple and Nike get in on this, we’ve got all the points
Google literally considers itself an ad company. They have a huge framework meant to profit off of ads shown on other products and platforms. They sell data as a service to better target consumers for advertisement. It’s not comparable to a tv channel.
Shipping was sabotaged and it just doesn’t make sense to buy local. The item is more expensive and there’s a 30 to 60 dollar shipping fee tagged on. It’s usually the same made in china quality.
For work related stuff, I bypass both and get straight from China.
I don’t like it but the gov didn’t step in and basically handed half our economy to Amazon. At the height of it, they decided to sell our national shipping service so prices went up (I’m in Canada btw).
In a perfect world, amazon would get the boot and we would have a government owned drop shipping infrastructure. Until that happens, I’m not ready to pay 3x the price for simple items just to keep a dead dream alive. Local got snuffed when it comes to consumer goods.
I’ve read memory of empire lately, which is a political intrigue in a Sci Fi setting. It’s centered around one city palace.
I second Lebowitz, the expanse and Ursula especially. Left hand of darkness is amazing.
If you enjoy project hail Mary and the generational aspect of 1000 years of solitude, you might enjoy children of time which has similar themes. It’s my current favorite.
Rainbows end, windup girl and scanner darkly are also great suggestions with no space travel.
Children of time is amazing imo. Love the concept and the characters.
It does feel like a lecture sometimes, even with stuff that is just difficult and not immoral.
It’s not always sex tourism. Of the people I was referring to, it was during a week-long fishing trip, the prostitution wasn’t the reason for the trip and only occupied a small part of it.
I think it’s gross regardless and I’d rather none of it was a reality, so you’ll have to find someone else to argue with.
I’m the opposite. If someone does it at home, they probably do so regularly while a vacation is once every now and then. I’ve known a couple of normal people that did it on vacay, it’s just another facet of the party for them, letting down their hair etc. The ones I know that do it at home tho…yikes. But it’s all kind of gross regardless.
Check out fusion 360. There is a free version for personal use, you have to search for it on their website since they hide it.
There is no open source future if all we have is the blender and nothing else
It depends for what kind of AI and but no, giving sources and building with just volunteer data is just not possible at our current technological level. I’m mostly talking about large llms because that’s what’s really at stake and they train on huge amounts of data. Like ALL of stack, GitHub, Reddit, etc. Just fine tuning them on a consumer level takes more than 50 000 question and answer pairs, that’s just one tiny superficial layer that’s added on top.
Grammerly should absolutely add an opt out option to gain consumers trust, but forcing the the whole industry to do so is a disaster.
If individuals can opt out, so will websites to “protect their users”. Then we get data hoarding, where stack and GitHub opt out of all open source options but sell it to the only ones that can now afford to build ais, Microsoft and google. it won’t include data of certain individuals, the few that opt out, but I’m guessing eventually the opt in will be directly into the terms of service of websites, you opt in or you fuck off.
How does anyone except corporations benefit from this kind of circus. In 10 years, AI will be doing most office work. Google isn’t dumb and wants that profit. They and openai have all the data, they can strong arm or buy what they are missing. Restricting and legislating only widens their moat.
90% of datasets are created with chatgpt, this is nothing new or a faux pas like is implied in the article. It is against the terms of service but it’s also largely considered unenforceable. Openai can ban your account for it I guess (they never do) but they can’t sue over this or anything of the sort.
