I mean… It’s Las Vegas. You don’t go to Vegas expecting a vacation experience free from the perverse corruption of money.

The only difference is who pays you to do it 😁
I’m an tired of these mother fucking mambas in this mother fucking mall
Gorilla. No doubt in my mind. It’s a hell of a lot easier to keep track of where one gorilla is compared to 5 black snakes.
One gorilla will probably ignore me as long as I keep my distance. Keeping distance and even putting a wall or 3 between you and the gorilla is trivial in a place as large as a mall.
On the other hand, snakes might mostly ignore me, but since I don’t know where the fuckers are, it’s a lot easier to accidentally startle or threaten one.
My new best friend friend Coco isn’t coming through pipes, air ducts, holes in walls, etc. Big strong boi isn’t hiding in the corner of a closet waiting to bite me as I reach in to grab a snack.
I’d go to the food court, put out a cornucopia of food, make sure the gorilla sees me leave it there for them, bow respectfully and slink away, then spend the rest of the 24 hours clear on the opposite side of the mall.
This all assumes that the gorilla isn’t enraged for any particular reason or starving. But even if so, I think gorilla is the safer answer, just the evasion technique changes.
While you make a valid point here, mine was simply that once something is out there, it’s nearly impossible to remove. At a certain point, the nature of the internet is that you no longer control the data that you put out there. Not that you no longer own it and not that you shouldn’t have a say. Even though you initially consented, you can’t guarantee that any site will fulfill a request to delete.
Should authors and artists be fairly compensated for their work? Yes, absolutely. And yes, these AI generators should be built upon properly licensed works. But there’s something really tricky about these AI systems. The training data isn’t discrete once the model is built. You can’t just remove bits and pieces. The data is abstracted. The company would have to (and probably should have to) build a whole new model with only propeely licensed works. And they’d have to rebuild it every time a license agreement changed.
That technological design makes it all the more difficult both in terms of proving that unlicensed data was used and in terms of responding to requests to remove said data. You might be able to get a language model to reveal something solid that indicates where it got it’s information, but it isn’t simple or easy. And it’s even more difficult with visual works.
There’s an opportunity for the industry to legitimize here by creating a method to manage data within a model but they won’t do it without incentive like millions of dollars in copyright lawsuits.
Delete that comment you just posted from every Lemmy instance it was federated to.
This whole internet thing was a mistake because it can’t be controlled.
And in other parts of the world where it’s just a standard. I was surprised when I saw WhatsApp numbers on advertisements with the WhatsApp logo. Hard not to be on WhatsApp in those places.
Android is probably my biggest privacy hole right now. I’ve considered alternatives but none of them particularly appeal to me. I moved away from Gmail, Google Voice, Chrome/chromium, deleted Facebook, etc… But android has some deep tendrils.
What’s your take on Graphene?
They also don’t want to be sued, so yes, this is the lowest effort way to limit their liability.
Out of curiosity, is it just rights to use or ownership rights? Not saying the former is good, but it’s still better than the latter.
In many cases, its a CYA policy just so they don’t have to ask permission for every single image. Hopefully they’re the respectful type that will either remove or blur the student upon request.

I’ve reached the point that I cringe at the mention of arrow functions because so many people seem to always want to use arrow functions.
Like I’m looking up something on stack overflow and half the answers are arrow functions that are that way for no other reason than to use the fun little =>
As soon as I heard Unity was back pedaling, I thought “there’s part 2 of the plan”
1: release abusive payment scheme to see just how much push back they get. If push back is minimal or losses are acceptable, end here and enjoy the profit.
2: if push back is strong, implement the actual payment policy that is still a significant increase, but less significant than the one above. And wait until the controversy blows over, which it will.
Yes, lots of developers will leave, lots of developers will choose a different engine for their new games, but there are a ton that will decide that it isn’t feasible to switch engines and plenty that will just eat the added cost. The thing that remains to be seen is just how much damage Unity has done in terms of new projects choosing other engines over theirs.
Don’t you bring facts into this! We want to be outraged!
Being serious though, they ought to be investigating whether there were any changes in those sale orders. If they’ve been the same and unchanged for the last two years or some long period of time, I don’t think there’s a case. But if they’re was an adjustment a month or two ago, that would be very problematic.
One of my favorite youtube channels did a riff on this
I mean, being a combative dick to her is pretty much her aphrodisiac.
As someone who usually loves the Battlefield games, I get where you’re coming from. But for us, it’s disappointing that the current version of a game we enjoy is so disappointing. Tragic perhaps in terms of the game itself and its fans. The greedy suits at the top can f right off though.
Probably the closest thing you can get to in terms of a “privacy” credit card. Everything about a credit card is tied to you by their very nature. So it depends on what or who you want privacy from.
Someone else mentioned privacy.com which I also use - it’s good if you want to hide your transaction from the credit card company, or if you want to hide your identity from the merchant. But Privacy.com is more like a virtual debit card that connects to your bank account. Privacy.com still knows who you are.
