I have never heard a convincing argument that any piracy is ethically or morally wrong: no one is being deprived of anything. You have to manually construct a scenario where someone is about to pay an independent artist for their work and then decides to use a copy instead, and even then I think it’s hard to argue any actual harms.
They’re all in bed together.
No, we’re at the point where the people pushing these laws do understand how the Internet works, and they want to control all of it.
I think you’re both interpreting the original quote in different ways. It was the obvious choice only because it was popular, but it wasn’t popular because it was the best at reviving old hardware. There were many better options for squeezing performance out of old systems, and they would have been more “obvious choices” than Ubuntu for anyone with any knowledge of the Linux ecosystem.
You have had your head in the sand for decades if you legitimately think no one treats Apple products like status symbols.
Lmao wtf are we doing
Except they’re not surviving, are they? They’re being harvested for semantic associations and then destroyed.
Anthropic could easily offset the PR blow by offering a free digital library of all the works they’re destroying, but of course that would require them to actually pay a fair price to the owners.
I do love this game and IMO it’s the best of the -shock games (system & bio), at least for gameplay.
Another one I feel bad downvoting! It’s not got the same gritty technopunk feeling as the Descent games, but gameplay and visuals are just as good if not better.
Hyperrogue
Yeah and many of them are using AI to do it.
Given your genre flexibility, there is nearly infinite music out there from well before the was any question about it being human-made. You could easily listen to songs you’ve never heard back to back for the rest of your life without coming close to running out of old music.
For modern stuff you’ve basically got to see video of them performing live to be sure.
Do you mean without steam input? My understanding is that the internals default to sending mouse & keyboard inputs which get translated to controller output in software. I’m sure someone will write an open source driver to get it working without Steam at some point, but if you don’t mind running games through Steam then it’s already working.
It’s still pretty trash. Every update adds new boring activities but the core gameplay loops still get old quickly and the game is an endlessly scaling grind to nowhere. It’s “redemption story” is drastically overrated.
But why can’t you just remove it? It being mounted into the studs isn’t any different than any other spot, it’s just more secure.
Yeah I fuckin love eating a whole stick of butter straight
I quite enjoyed the show but season 4 was a massive turd that should be skipped.
That is literally because they don’t have the missile range. I also assume they have far less warheads stockpiled.
Whole lotta ifs and assumptions. “A high enough level of information processing” is meaningless if we don’t have any idea what sort of information processing could lead to consciousness, because it clearly isn’t just raw throughput.
AGI definitionally improves itself, which implies awareness of itself and intention. Those are a huge amount of how we define consciousness.
