I also don’t quite understand how an image recognition software can interpret images at all if it “wasn’t actually given any photos of real people dying”, just the captions to those images.

Yeah I don’t really get it either. “We made a robot who can only say curse words, and all it does is curse!”

How so? Are there games Kotaku’s not reviewing for the sake of this one that you feel are of more significant mainstream interest? Or does the existence of an article about a game you don’t care about constitute a “retreat” from other types of games?

in case there is any doubt as to where I stand on this—and I may write about it at more length later—I think this whole thing is a TERRIBLE idea

This is just another example of Valve punting away all responsibility.

“I will not start a witch hunt against people who have different political views,” [TauronSS] continues. 

There needs to be more civil, rational discussions than ever before. We need to be able to be less ‘butt-hurt’ at everything and listen to the other side for once. You can disagree, and that’s perfectly fine, but there needs to be communication.

I want to know what happened to the person who recommended this sentence, too. Persky was following the recommendation of some agency when he imposed this sentence. Persky had the discretion to reject the recommendation, and should have, and so I am happy with the recall. But if some agency person is running around…

Also, judicial independence is kind of a farce to begin with in a system of elected judges...and I say that as a lawyer.

I haven’t seen O8, but the premise here sounds awful. Why a diamond heist? Where are they going to sell a $150m necklace? They prob wouldn’t net half that. In O11, the guys walked away with giant duffel bags of cash. Leave it to Hollywood to have to women getting paid much less than their male peers.

The decision is narrow, not the vote. They only ruled on the small portion of the case that decided that the court in Colorado introduced bias into their ruling by not remaining neutral on the subject of the baker’s religious beliefs. They “invalidated” his beliefs more or less, and SCOTUS said “no you can’t do that”.…

This is not really a problem with Spotify specifically. This is a problem with the music industry. Unless you are an 18 year old pop star in a tiny skirt whose every move is dictated by your label, you’re going to find that the vast majority of the artists who are getting active support and being promoted to streaming…

Yeah! I want my publications to worry about maintaining access and not pissing industry people off more than anything else. That’s what leads to good content /s

He was also brave enough to wait until Mariel Hemingway was 18 before he tried to seduce her. Not only a hero, but a perfect gentleman.

Guys, he only abused one child. Like, he could have abused so many more but didn’t. He’s practically a hero.

I give a flying fuck not only because it’s the epitome of sexist double standards but also because when we ignore men like Clinton, we pave the way for men like Trump and then we wonder how we got here.

Let’s talk about the guy who’s dead rather than the guy who’s alive and well, and still gets invited to Democratic events?

I mean... did anyone expect him to have a *good* take on this?

This is a big part of the reason that I just can’t play competitive online games like Overwatch anymore — voice chat is necessary to succeed in those games, but all it takes for it to degenerate into a full-on shitshow is for a woman or a child(!) to say something. And god help you if you urge common courtesy or…

I don’t think your neckbearded 4chan dwelling strawman is to blame in this case.
