i don't know how you could watch a video of minnesotans strugging to protect their neighbours and entertain an idea like "I hope americans are ready to be hated". If you can't see yourself in their fight, draw strength from it, stand in solidarity, how can you possibly fight fascism anywhere else

seeing her describe the reality we are currently living through and get pushback by the interviewer is insane to me. bro really said "do you have specific information to support an allegation that huge."

I’ve seen a lot of exceptionally smart peers buy this idea without interrogating it. If these models could be trained solely on even medium sized data sets, the consumption race between the big players wouldn’t be happening.

I cannot stress this enough: this is not possible
in a literal technological sense: you cannot train an AI and expect even comprehensible results with under ~1 million pieces of data, nobody can supply all that with the variance needed. You can only achieve it through wanton scraping

Larian CEO says Divinity could have gen AI assets in it but only if the tools are trained on the studio's own data.
"If we use a GenAI model to create in-game assets, then it'll be trained on data we own."

The Free Speech Union commissioned a "security" report on us, so we tested their security. Turns out - it sucks.
We've now published the names of everyone who has donated to a FSU fundraiser, along with how much they gave and to which campaign.

they didn't need AI to make Silksong, it just needed some deeply insane guys to have a blank check for living expenses until their next thing was done, I think we should try doing more of that instead

The confusion and conflation of ‘generative ai that is built on stolen artwork’ and ‘machine learning, character behaviour modelling and proc gen’ is intentional on the part of the grifters peddling the former.
