I don't disagree that there are ways to add protections. It'd require strict compliance still though or things could fall through the cracks. Even when using the classic placeholders things have been missed on occasion. The only 100% reliable way to avoid shipping any generative AI content is to never include it in the project.

Again, I don't think the usage here was bad. I think the reaction to one piece of generative AI art, which was replaced within a week, has been too severe. I'm just saying that if you really want to make sure you don't ship any of it, just don't ever include any. The old methods were perfectly fine, even if they made development look less pretty.

I always am, where it's possible. The issue is, how do you rehabilitate this person? They must recognize that what they did was wrong in order to change their behavior. They believe it was right, but just don't want to be held accountable. Fascism isn't really something that can be rehabilitated because it's fundamentally at odds with society.

Anyone who didn't notice it is blind. The channel became increasingly more click bait over the years. At this point I rarely watch their videos. It used to be really informative content, but now it's still vaguely informative but usually more entertainment.

They used it to create placeholders during development. It wasn't something they decided not to use before. It's just something that was meant to be replaced. Usually these placeholders are a missing texture image or just a magenta texture, but they used generative AI to create something that fit into the world. Because it fit they forgot to replace it.

Honestly, I'm not opposed to this usage. It's not like it's replacing an artist. No one was going to create a placeholder to be replaced. However, it is obvious to see that occasionally you'll forget to replace items with this technique, like we saw here. The old style of incredibly obvious placeholders were used for a reason; so that you can't forget to replace them. It's probably smart to keep doing this.

Yeah, I think it's a big issue with modern society that children aren't afraid of being eaten anymore! Make Eating Children Great Again!

You should finish Deathloop. I have two major issues with it, and the first is that it's too short. By the time you really get going you're about done. My second issue is there's only one correct solution. There's a lot of alternative solutions that allow you to accomplish different goals, but, for completing the game, there's only one path.

It's sad that Arkane made Prey (which is one of the best games ever made) and then Deathloop (which is a very good concept, if flawed), and then we're forced to make Redfall. I think they lost most of their talent over that, so I don't suspect we'll ever get anything like those again from that studio.

The good news is, as far as components go, RAM is fairly cheap... Oh no...

Also, it's not homophobic to say that homophobes being gay on their private lives, especially if they work to pass policy that makes it worse for gay people, are bad people. It isn't about them being gay. It's about them enjoying a thing while trying to punish others for enjoying that same thing.

That person is insane. These are working class people being harmed. They aren't irredeemable. They're just stupid and mislead. This is hopefully a wakeup call for them.

This is notably not soviet Russia.

I don't think you understand. It isn't celebrating that this is happening. It sucks that it's happening. However, it's good that it's made clear that it's because of Trump, so the people who voted for it can learn a lesson. It's bad that it's happening, but it's good they can learn from it.

To be very clear, in case this somehow wasn't, people losing their jobs is bad. People learning that voting for something to hurt others effects themselves is good. These are not mutually exclusive. They can (and often do) happen at the same time. We don't have to ignore the good just because there is also some bad. We can recognize both.

Yeah, me neither. I'm just clarifying that it's not like it's only available in one place. It's a feature of Lemmy that votes are public. I want to make sure everyone knows that. It's not just one rogue place that made it public. It's just how Lemmy functions.

 

I hope this isn't the case, but the timing of the movies is really good to get people into Dune. They'll need the books to fully understand the parallels though.

Hopefully Trump doesn't do the things we suspect he'll do based on what he's said, but, if he does, hopefully it's a moment humanity can learn from (again). Hopefully we come out of this and people stop trusting charismatic leaders. Dune may be more relevant than ever.
