Twitch also has them now for how many of someone’s consecutive streams you watch

Does pirating a show via streaming site circumvent this or does that get tracked too?

I’m size 5 men’s and have trouble finding shoes, can’t imagine searching for size 3

I didn’t know this was a feature. There wouldn’t happen to be a way to do this but only for the subscription tab? Because I want to stay updated on politics but specifically want my subscriptions to be sanitized of them for when I need a break from thinking about the state of the world for awhile

Peanut butter and spinach sandwich. Not too much spinach though

I want to try it just because it’s such good marketing

Ignoring the fact you havent made any factual arguments, would it be rude to point out your comment history in turn?

Even basic LLMs can take in context of your entire conversation history. Not that a braindead luddite would actually know anything about AI.

But ya know, keep being an insufferable cunt because people use a computer program you don’t like, like the fucking loser you are.

Yup, sure sounds like you have a master in AI and robotics when you have to harass people & call them insufferable cunts for disagreeing with the ethics behind what you apparently study. Obviously you’re definitely not morally grandstanding in the slightest.

Hope lying on the internet works out for you tho ✌️

Except that using art for training data isn’t remotely the same.e as trying to claim ownership of it. So this is a nonsense comparison as well. You’re the one relying on strawman arguments here.

So they’re profiting off of the works of others with no credit given, no financial compensation offered and no consent from the actual artists. What would you call that if not theft?

Its more accurate to compare it to say, someone watching a bunch of studio Ghibli films then using that as reference to draw their own ghibli styled art… which people do all the time and you guys don’t get mad at them for that.

Which is because they’re using a reference to create their own art. I’m not sure how you think machine learning works but I can tell you there is no actual “learning” involved. What it produces is a direct result of the data (stolen work) it’s trained on. If you genuinely think a machine is capable of producing original art you’re attributing human traits to AI in a way that shows you fundamentally misunderstand the capabilities of image generation models as well as all current AI.

I don’t use that opinion to go on a moral crusade.

Meanwhile two comments ago…

The same people saying shit like “if buying isn’t owning, piracy isn’t stealing” are calling training AI on publically available data “stealing”

If I was wrong on any topic I’d love to be enlightened as to why but your arguments so far have boiled down to insults, strawmans and “no, you’re actually doing the thing that you called me out for doing!” At the point that’s what you have to result to in order to “win” a debate I would be heavily considering if the opposing party has a point instead of doubling down on the third grade argument tactics. 👍 Have a lovely day

It’s the same logic as saying someone tracing another persons art and passing it off as their own to make money is theft because that’s essentially what they’re doing. Except they’re scraping the internet in order to feed millions of artists’ works without their consent to a machine that approximates what “art” is supposed to look like.

This is the same braindead logic as people saying downloading someone else’s NFT is stealing.

If someone stole an artist’s work and passed it off as an NFT as has happened many times that’s also an example of theft. I know that’s not the strawman you’re presenting but that is the actual NFT equivalent of what we’re discussing. But yes, conflate it with downloading an image so you can call me braindead instead of formulating an argument.

It’s fine if you personally enjoy slop, there’s plenty of it out there now. But if you’re gonna try to morally grandstand about it you may as well just say you don’t think artists deserve to be paid for their own work and be done with it.

Because obviously pirating games & shows for personal use does the same amount of harm as a corporate entity stealing the work of hundreds of thousands of writers and artists in order to turn a profit

I feel you tbh but be aware these aren’t normal or mentally healthy thoughts to be having even when things are this fucked

I don’t think it’s as much of an unpopular opinion as it is just a thing that happens. If the Sims community has taught me anything, diehard fans of a franchise will keep shelling out hundreds of dollars for new content even if it’s overpriced dogshit

Both, I’m sure I could make a new account if I wanted but I don’t want to contribute to their dumpster fire of a website anymore anyway

With the way they’re handling physical copies now I won’t be buying them at all, I prefer to own the games I pay for

Is this that “biological advantage” I hear so much about?

What’s the Firefox plugin?

Transition can refer to a lot of different things, not just medical transition. if you start to ask others to call you by different pronouns for example that’s a form of social transition even if you’ve only chosen to come out to a few people

edit: To clarify I’m not saying you need to have even done that step to be valid as a trans person, it’s just likely that no one would know you’re trans unless you’ve at least taken that step

Steins gate! It’s one of my favorite TV shows of all time

Maybe, it just seemed to me that she didn’t consider or know about the possibility of transitioning

Ruka is probably my favorite trans character in media for the fact she tried to alter time to “become a girl”. Someone just needed to let her know about the magic of estrogen
