I didn’t have any sympathy for her to begin with, but this kinda just seals the deal.

I’m sure the famously conservative theater community will be thrilled to take her back.

What gets me is it’s not just a group that’s anti-abortion, it’s one that specializes in really shitty emotional manipulation based on the tiniest sliver of truth, if any at all.

I don’t know how big she is and didn’t know anything about her before this whole affair, but is she trying to speedrun destroying her career? Because I think Kanye already won that speedrun and she should probably stop competing.

Welp, there goes any sympathy I had.

Most console game discs still have fully playable games on them. There might be patches to download, but if you don’t have an internet connection, most of the time you can still just insert a disc and play. Ones like this that don’t actually have a game (on console, not PC) are the exception.

The highest blank BDs available to consumers is 125gb. There are 150gb discs that have been used for movies and there are even 300gb, 500gb, and 1TB blurays available. I will never stop rallying for blurays they are the best way to watch movies in 4K.

The answer to all of your questions is yes. Not “yes, always” of course, but yes - people still want these things and still do these things.

Absolutely, I’d greatly prefer the game on the 3 discs versus download only. I disconnect from the internet whenever I get a new game to avoid the updates. I will not be buying MW2.

Opposite, my friend. I’m glad they don’t consider this important enough to drag it out just to keep people subscribed.

I haven’t really dived into the subject the way the author has - but it seems to me that a lot of the time characters aren’t described in so much detail that we know whether they’re thin or fat in the first place. We often get description of age, hair color, certain distinctive characteristics, but I can’t really say…

He released it. Himself. Before someone tried to use it as collateral to smear him. It’s his, no one is forcing us to watch it. It’s out there. The only thing he did is move it from his phone to the internet for us to see if we choose.

“‘I thought the issues I’m trying to address are so important… I wanted to have my issues talked about in some wayʼ”

I’d be ok if they were critical of his video! My beef was mostly the “no person... should ever” followed by “except for her, which is fine.” Pick a lane, ya know?

Definitely. You don’t destigmatize something by reinforcing that sometimes it’s gross.

The only thing we know so far in the US is that it’s not the AI - someone actually attempted it with AI (not just the monkey case) and the human authorship requirement stood. The Copyright Office specifically avoided every other question in their ruling, though (e.g. what constitutes sufficient human involvement).

Get ready for the apologists guys, you’ll eventually encounter some of them around.

I’m certainly into AI. I build them, I work on them. So fair bias maybe? But if you read anything else, at least read my last paragraph okay? The rest is a lot of musing on the difficulty of ‘stopping’ technology and my perception that isn’t even useful to pursue anyway.

I had to explain that you cannot compare and equate how the AI is doing it to an artist taking inspiration on the work of others, because these AIs (particular case of Dall-E, but many others operate in the very same way) are being trained with huge datasets that contains a whole ton of material which authors…

The guys that claim AI generated images as their own work are clearly commiting copyright infrigement and we should shun those, but I don’t think we should have a hate boner for AIs in general just because of them. 

The way I see it, this is like hating knives because someone got stabbed with it instead of hating the…
