Apparently the dude's also made such predictions as "PC gaming is dead" in 2006, "office meetings will be taking place in Second Life," and "all games will need Metaverse integration." So, y'know, his belief all games will use generative AI is a great sign.

Funny it's only the EXECUTIVES who keep saying "AI" is inevitable and will be in everything. When it's developers, coders, writers, artists, independent creators, and smaller studios run by those people, they're somehow shockingly AGAINST using plagiarismbots that can't code, write, or draw.

I cannot stop laughing. This is so indicative of what's wrong with these AI people and how they view art
He ran into a wall where the "make art" button wasn't satisfying because it wasn't actually making good enough art, and instead of trying new things he just requests a stronger button

Apparently P*ypal now asks for customer opinions on accounts sending invoices.
If you are paying an invoice to a nsfw artist, do NOT mention NSFW in any way, keep it blank even. you risk both your account and the artists.

Do I know anyone in the Sacramento area with room to spare? Northern California? I'm from the Bay Area originally, and have connections there that can help me find work. I'm handy, always eager to help, and a conscientious house guest.

They're doing a bit of sleight of hand with the phrase "sex trafficking", as they always do.
Also noteworthy is that they apparently never turn anyone over to authorities or out anyone to communities. The company who knows everything also does nothing.

Fitting that they think anything under 18 is okay... 🤦🏼♂️
Meta had 17-strikes policy for sex trafficking posts, lawsuit alleges
An ex-Meta employee testified that the tech company allowed 17 strikes before it suspended accounts for sex trafficking, court documents say.

You artists. If any of you has something they would love to see as a feature in a helper app for artists, let me know.
For those that don't know yet. I'm building an app for artists, like myself, to do all sorts of things for reference and color study. I'm still early building all kind of different tools.

Remember your favorite creator possibly might be struggling with imposter syndrome and doubt and this timeline sucks.. so if you find yourself thinking “wow I really relate to this persons work” or that persons work gives you joy, you should probably tell them. It’s a hard time to be a creative.

Yes, they are the criminal ones and they need to stop acting like they can just put whatever into shitty ToS and make that law. Contract parts that are illegal in the first place are not applicable! That’s not new, either!
I will say this until I’m blue in the face. They are practicing therapy without a license. And that ChatGPT never posted a suicide phone number, instead encouraged him by telling him where to find bullets/ guns is criminal. And every executive who is profiting off of this should be charged.

"It is against the TOS to be talked into suicide by our LLM" is possibly the most evil tech bro thing I've ever read
Additionally, OpenAI argues its not liable because Raine, by using ChatGPT for self-harm, broke its terms of service

I once asked a bookseller at a large indie store how many people would have to buy a book for it to get the attention of the store buyer and cause an additional order and they said: Three.
I see some book piracy discourse, and, to make a positive argument in favor of buying books, your marginal ability to influence what books get published and support the careers of writers you like is massive compared to most other forms of media.
