Boltgun accomplishes exactly what it sets out to do. Great game. It gives me the same sort of power fantasy vibe that Space Hulk: Deathwing did but lets you actually move at the terrifying speed that a space marine should.

Recently, eh?
You consider the 1800’s recent? Because there were news articles reporting on the issue back then.
Here’s an article from 1896 for you to read over, provided you care about learning how you’re wrong.
It is clearly criminal already.
I’m reading a lot of “this can’t be true because I feel that it isn’t” in this reply. But I can’t go individually track down all the sources at the moment so I’ll give the benefit of the doubt for now.
Would you rather trust information from Forbes, the US Bureau of Labor Statistics, MassMutual Financial Group, or the Consumer Electronics Association?
Good, because that’s where nearly all their sources are from. Click the links. Leads right to the primary source.
At least read the article before dismissing it out of hand.
Be quiet, the adults are talking.
Fair points on the locally run AIs, I admit I don’t have experience with those and didn’t realize they were run differently. I defer to your knowledge there.
I disagree on the drawing point though. Nearly every artist learns their style by learning from other artists, in the same way that every programmer learns to code by reading other code. It IS different, but I don’t think it’s THAT different. It’s doing the exact same thing a human would do in order to create a piece of art, just faster, and automated. Instead of spending ten years to learn to paint in the style of Dali you can tell an AI to make an image in the style of Dali and it will do exactly what a human would - inspect every Dali painting, figure out the common grounds, and figure out how to replicate them. It isn’t illegal to do that, nor do I consider it immoral, UNLESS you are profiting from the resulting image. Personally I view it as a fair use of those resources.
The sticky situation arrives when we start to talk about how those AIs were trained though. I think the training sets are the biggest problem we have to solve with these. Train it fully on public domain works? Sure, do what you want with it, that’s why those works are in the public domain. But when you’re training your AI on copyrighted works and then make money on the result? Now that’s a problem.
two people using the same seed will be able to create the same image.
In my experience ONE person using the same seed will not be able to create the same image. I can feed an identical prompt into an AI artist 100 times and be handed 100 similar, but different pictures at the end. This may change as AI science evolves however.
so nothing stops me from saying “Hey, generate an image of Kirby”.
Every AI image creator has blacklisted words/tags for preventing copyright abuse or prevent creation of offensive images. Most AIs won’t draw you pictures of Disney characters (anymore). Many AIs won’t draw pictures of Jesus or public figures like politicians. No AI on the market will draw you a gory execution. The managers of the AI in question just have to implement a blacklist about it and they can stop you from running prompts for whatever they want.
There’s also nothing stopping you from sitting down at your desk and drawing a picture of Kirby with a pen. When you’re done, do you own that image?
I agree with you that AI art shouldn’t be copyrightable or at least, if it is, there should be some significant hoops to jump through. But I don’t think the arguments given here are good reasons why.
This has a very similar energy to the cuil decay copypasta
Yeah but will you run my program that escalates to admin in order to function?
The abortion issue in particular doesn’t center around racists, it centers around evangelicals. Zealots believe that an abortion is Against God and really, truly, honestly believe they are saving your immortal soul and that of your baby by forcing you to carry to term. People like that can’t be reasoned with because they honestly believe they are acting in the best interests of folks that require saving. “This is for your own good” kind of attitude.
Twitter isn’t losing users, it’s gaining them

According to every source I can find X/Twitter has lost around 32 million users and counting since the rebrand.
So where's all the folks coming out of the woodwork to tell us this isn't Technology news, then? They sure want to shit all over the comments whenever Musk is the subject, but here, in this nearly identical situation? Crickets, naturally. I've heard no other single piece of news out of this instance for five days other than the personal schedule of Sam Altman. It was good to hear about what happened once. Now we're on post 63 of the same news.
Don't get me wrong, I dislike Elongated Muskrat as much as the next guy. But there's an extremely vocal minority here that love to invade the comments on every post of anything he's done to cry about how that isn't technology news. I generally like to argue that yes, it is technology news that Twitter has refactored how their verification mark works, or that advertisers are pulling out due to offensively alt-right content being promoted by Muskrat. I also think this situation with Altman is legitimate technology news, I just like to point out hypocrisy when I see it.
They want exactly the one on the website except with every measurement multiplied by 0.893, corner angles that would make Escher blush, and also they want it to stand 4 feet tall with no legs.
Get to work.
I find it hard to believe that a website the size of Truth Social (i.e. pretty small… They have a total of 2 million users, a generous 15% of them might be active. It isn't Twitter) managed to rack up $73 million in costs over a single year of operation.
I see two possibilities. Either whoever is hosting them is charging them a stupendously exorbitant amount of money to keep their website online, because they hate them or because they know they have Trump & Co in a vise and can charge whatever they want; or else a lot of "operating costs" look like the inside of various pockets. Perhaps both. Probably both, now that I think about it, though I suspect the latter quite a bit more.
Australia, Ireland, New Zealand, Malta, Northern Ireland and Scotland all have ranked choice vote. Slovenia had it previously but regressed to FPTP in 2021.

Fuck that, trace nutrients from cow titties are goddamn delicious and I will not be shamed into drinking the sad calcium-water wannabe that is 2% or skim milk. I will drink my whole milk loud and proud, fuck the fat content. My bones are smiling at me, Imperials, can you say the same?
This is the same guy who is in an interracial marriage and voted to illegalize interracial marriage. He literally can't be trusted with anything.
Which you won’t hear about until after all the existing data has been scraped off the servers. The company, if bought, will be bought for the value of their data stores and whatever corporation purchases them will specifically want to keep the news quiet until after they’ve gotten their value out of the data store. Therefore this is a non-starter as you may as well just hand the info to Dropbox today.
