@Nadeshot Because AI in art has become a hardline topic that has an all or nothing stance. Art was previously a profession that was highly gatekept, political, and status signaling. If a computer can do it, the mystique goes away, and so does the social status.

Genuine question, why are people mad about this? I’m really not even trying to be dismissive or sarcastic here. Why in the world would anyone be mad about this?

Despite the maps being huge, despite the convoluted rules, despite the weird mashup of mechanics that didn't mesh well together...the biggest problem is that the game ended up being distilled down to rushing the sword and whoever gets it probably wins the game, with mandatory 'do nothing' phases for the first part of the game. That's not a fun gameplay loop.

@Flyordie209 I agree with you that we should have a national ID system, should be free at time of service, that solves basically the entire problem.

@SimpinAintEZ95 Without these cases being resolved in legislation they won't get resolved. When Missouri passed their voter ID law, the secretary of state of Missouri promised free documentation to any resident born in the USA who needed it and then never funded the program.

1. There's always a mandatory cost to vote - whether it's time, bus fare, or even the baseline investment you need to be politically aware. 2. We're looking at the number of people who: have no ID or birth certificate, but would like one, and for whom the cost is prohibitive. That number is vanishingly small. The goal of any policy is not simply to give everyone everything all the time, the goal is to balance policies so they don't negatively impact too many people while also maintaining some sense of functionality. Even when these edge cases exist, it's better to resolve them when they pop up rather than avoid policy altogether because it allows people to hold the policy hostage like what you're attempting to do right now.

@SimpinAintEZ95 @ThumblessGod @linusgsebastian @eevblog How many Amish and Mennonites etc live in the USA and may not have any birth certificate but still want to vote as is their right to do so? That number is close to 1m alone. 400-450k of that is Amish. You can't impose a poll tax. Imposing a mandatory cost to vote is a poll tax.

@Flyordie209 @ThumblessGod @linusgsebastian @eevblog We're approaching a limit where you're suggesting we avoid a common sense policy because it may impact 10s of people. The bucket of people who were born in a very remote hospital, have absolutely no form of ID, and no money to obtain one?

@ZacksJerryRig It's harder to arrest illegal immigrants because they're undocumented. Until you control for that this is meaningless.

I'm just gunna leave this here. Aparently US citizens commit twice as many violent felonies as undocumented immigrants. This report came from the great red state of TEXAS. Sure. Deport illegals. But if reducing violent crime is actually your goal we might wanna start at home. 🤷‍♂️

@Gabe_The_Joker @joel_krahn @brandon75355213 @ryangrim If I were an illegal immigrant actively wanted by DHS? Yeah I think I'd have some idea of what they were arresting me for, you don't need to be a rocket scientist to figure that out.

Trump has unilaterally repealed the Second Amendment and Americans bearing arms -- or merely having them legally in their cars -- can now be executed on the street, apparently.

@CryptoGeorgist @pydsigner @cremieuxrecueil You would be shocked at how many people will automatically assume a number with 3 decimal positions is automatically larger than one with only 2. 1.234 must be larger than 1.34 because it's got more numbers.

@HarryEmdenfuqs @Dialoguealways @IamSean90 @TheOmniLiberal I don't know how you're not understanding this. Voting for and/or supporting a politician does not mean you support or agree with every single thing they do, otherwise nobody would ever vote. So you call out the behavior you don't like. If you disagree - you are in fact retarded.

Show me where I said I was "surprised?" I said I don't like it, & offered a better alternative. I don't like how you cowardly use the bad Orange man, as a built in excuse for celebrating the murder of your perceived enemies, but it doesn't surprise me when you do it either
Destiny | Steven Bonnell II@TheOmniLiberal

I just don't understand where these people have been at for the last 10 years? Trump has never shown decorum on literally fucking ANYTHING, the idea that they're surprised now that he's not...??? Have you seen any media at all in the last decade???

@AkshayJS_TRM @Cybren @notesfrom641 @cmuratori @supertommy That's literally not copying, the image generated is new and unique, it just takes certain elements of an amalgamation of images it's been trained on. It's a digitized process of what every artist has done for millennia, just more efficient.

@Cybren @notesfrom641 @cmuratori @supertommy If they used an LLM or genAI they were depending on a machine that directly needs those images in its training data for token inference. That's copying. Artists don't need billions of images to be artists.

Because you neither paid, nor credited, nor even acknowledged the artists whose work you're now implicitly using. This is pretty simple. If you go out and buy a bunch of art books and you look through those to get ideas, the people who made the art books get the money one-for-one for every studio that ever buys those books. If you go to someone's portfolio page on the internet and get some ideas, you now know who that person is and maybe you really like what they did. Maybe you might hire them to do concept art for your game someday. If you ask a generative AI to generate ideas for you, you pay Google, OpenAI, Midjourney, etc., and that's it. The artists who made everything that goes into it get nothing. They do not get money. They do not get exposure. They do not even get the bare minimum acknowledgement from you that they even existed. I am glad players are angry about generative AI. I hope they get even more angry. Artists that contribute art to a creative process deserve better treatment than this. If you like generative AI as a tool, advocate for a properly licensed, properly attributed version of it first. If instead you choose to use generative AI and ignore the ethical issues, you more than deserve the backlash.
Swen Vincke @where?@LarAtLarian

Holy fuck guys we’re not "pushing hard" for or replacing concept artists with AI. We have a team of 72 artists of which 23 are concept artists and we are hiring more. The art they create is original and I’m very proud of what they do. I was asked explicitly about concept art and our use of Gen AI. I answered that we use it to explore things. I didn’t say we use it to develop concept art. The artists do that. And they are indeed world class artists. We use AI tools to explore references, just like we use google and art books. At the very early ideation stages we use it as a rough outline for composition which we replace with original concept art. There is no comparison. I talked about how we use ML here if you would like to know more: gamespot.com/articles/baldu… We've hired creatives for their talent, not for their ability to do what a machine suggests, but they can experiment with these tools to make their lives easier.

@SimpinAintEZ95 @IamSean90 Calling out a specific Trump comment as “crossing the line” only makes sense if the speaker genuinely believes that this comment is out of character, which it fucking isn't moron. The condemnation just functions as reputation management, not an ethical statement

You can act like it's brilliant that a guy with a long history of low impulse control, found an excuse that you were dumb enough to repeat for why he doesn't have to be responsible for his own behavior. But it isn't fooling me. Steven's doing what he would regardless
Jessiah@thepondering_

No, @TheOmniLiberal's point is that the sitting president should be held to a higher moral standard than anybody and the Left isn't obligated to pretend otherwise just so right-wing dipshits like you can feel better about backing morally inferior candidates while knowing better

@Dialoguealways @IamSean90 @TheOmniLiberal But the specific people were talking about are calling Trump out for what he said. They can't physically stop him, can't throw him in jail for being a meanie. They're also calling out Destiny for his words. There's no contradiction there

@SimpinAintEZ95 @IamSean90 @TheOmniLiberal It doesn't have to excuse or justify anything, but what it does mean is that the president of the United States sets the tone for discourse in a country. If we as a country allow the president to have whatever discourse he wants, why would we regulate the words of a streamer?

@HarryEmdenfuqs @IamSean90 You can support a politician while criticizing some actions they take. Trump said something and Sean publicly called it out - that's exactly what you should do when a politician you support says something you disagree with.

@Dialoguealways @IamSean90 @TheOmniLiberal That just means Trump's bad behavior has more of an impact, but it doesn't excuse or justify the same behavior from a figure with less influence. Also Caleb does hold Trump to the standard which is why he publicly called Trump out for saying something egregious.

@IamSean90 It isn't an "excuse" to say that if you don't hold the president of the United States to a standard you expect a streamer to be held to you might just be dishonest. @TheOmniLiberal isn't one or two misunderstandings away from a world war. Trump is.

@rc_1137 @kirawontmiss @NBABoards This reply is so impossibly stupid that I think you're doing it on purpose. Even if you invest half of both options in a conservative ETF, the immediate $500k vs $2000/mo is such a large gap that the annuity investment never catches up. Not after 10 years, not after 100.

@drgreen_17 @kirawontmiss @NBABoards The lump sum is so much larger that your annuity investments literally never catch up to it. $500k invested now vs $2000/mo - they never equalize, the lump sum investment actually widens the gap over time.

“How would you feel if you hadn’t eaten breakfast today?” “It's somewhat of an impossible dichotomy, because I did eat breakfast today”
Eric Daugherty@EricLDaugh

🚨 LMFAO! Elon Musk gives the most ELON answer to "what would you do if you started over with $1,000?" "It's somewhat of an impossible dichotomy, because civilization would have had to have been destroyed or something, in which case $1,000 is not going to solve your problems." "And if civilization hasn't melted, then I could probably just tell people to give me money, which I've done before." 🤣🔥 @elonmusk "A lot of things would have to go wrong for that to be the case. It's like, am I just emerging from prison, perhaps, with a stipend? All my companies have been confiscated." "I mean, it would take armageddon, which hopefully that doesn't happen, like Ragnarok next level, and I lost." "I mean, it's impossible for someone to have this amount of knowledge, all the knowledge that I have, and then be dropped down to a low resource amount." "Because the reality is that either something truly catastrophic has happened, like civilization has melted, or I will be able to ask people to just give me money, and with the promise that I will have a high return, which is what I'm able to do right now. Like if you give me a dollar, you will get back much more than a dollar."
