I’m not advocating for 90/100%+ fines per se, but agree with the sentiment that companies that engage in shady/disgusting business practices like this should receive major penalties with the workforce protected. It’s f.cked up that we can find ourselves advocating for lower penalties simply to protect the workforce…

Don’t conflate process with work. There are many, many crafts or trades whose process lend itself to the result. This is even applied to life philosophy in the form of “Not about the destination, but the journey.” AI is contributing to a 1-button world where we magically get what we request, right away. Everything…

An absolutely lazy, uncaring take. As if art simply exists to ‘move’ or serve some others interest and isn’t the old form of self expression. All of the great artworks and styles developed over the centuries are not only expressions of their creators, but of those times. You can’t appreciate traditional artwork (99%…

Expect a rise in commercialized, generic artwork in the coming years as this becomes more mainstay. The unfortunately false equivalency that advocates keep making about AI is that it’s a tool. It’s truly not — it’s shaping up to be the closest thing to magic we have as a person will get whatever final result/answer…

“Its is so lame, and has always been lame. Its not offensive its weak and stupid.”

Yeah everyone! Is that all you got?! If you’re going to sling racial slurs at whites, at least make em sting!...I don’t know what’s worse, the downplaying of an ugly expression like a racial slur or the revelation that white people don’t…

It’s because they’re called MAN cannons and not something gender neutral...

Derp. Right, it’s just about UX and it’s only a single click when we’re talking about UX...Nevermind that you need an account with all these launchers and have to agree to each of their respective ToA/Privacy policies...and that most are DRM....or that it’s plainly obvious publishers just don’t want to payout a…

The inability for people to not see the difference between Steam or GoG and the other IP only launchers is mind-boggling.

BOOOOOOOOO!!!

It’s definitely weird to ambiguously refer to her as “Twitch Streamer” in the headline and not “Twitch Stream, Adriana Chechik...” If this is her career now, cool, but she’s not a nobody.

The Batman Who Laughs and D&D costumes are so sick. Also can’t believe someone literally went as a Guardian from BotW lmao.

I think MW2 is an egregious instance because the game places the player so deliberately in that situation. Shooting is the primary ‘fun factor’ and mode of interaction in shooters after all so, to BigBig’s sentiment, what are you not going to shoot them?

In general though, I’ve found that shooting ‘innocents’ is…

I literally thought you were kidding with this summary.

“I was paid a shockingly low total of £3000 total for the first game. A little more for the second.”

Idk, September was literally a few weeks ago. She’s a pornstar before anything else professionally. The streaming/couching bit was actually news to me. Seems almost incorrect to not say ‘former pornstar’ or even just use her name in the main headline given how famous she is.

“Note: What the person in this article did is terrible, but that’s because they’re a terrible person and not because AI art is inherently terrible”

Last time I was in a casino, my friend and I were playing Blackjack. Eventually he called for a “hit” on a 17 or 18 and everyone at the table started losing their shit and questioning him. He looked at them with a confused look and then said

“I’m gambling!”

Try harder straw man!

Or maybe it’s b/c they shutdown servers for OW1 the day before OW2 and now everyone is flooding the servers.
