Can you explain how you came to that conclusion?
The way I understand it, generative AI training is more like a single person analyzing art at impossibly fast speeds, then using said art as inspiration to create new art at impossibly fast speeds.
Is that a bad thing? It’s a different medium that can reach a much wider audience. I’d bet that at least 80% of people who enjoy the BBC miniseries have never heard of the radio program.
I don’t hate the movie for being different from the book; I hate it for being poorly written/directed and cringey.
Now, the BBC miniseries from the 80s - that is worth watching.
Ooh, I like all those descriptors! Definitely gonna check this show out. Thanks for sharing!
I love that you’re doing this! Super cool. I would like to throw my hat in for FFVII Remake. I started it on PS5 when it released, but I’ve since gotten rid of my console and am now an exclusive PC gamer. It’s got a platinum rating on ProtonDB, so I am ready.
As for anecdotes, well, I’ve introduced my 65+ year old parents to anime! We’ve been meeting once a week for the past month or so to watch Attack on Titan. It’s been great watching the show for a second time (so much foreshadowing!) and seeing my parents really get into it.
I don’t like sand
People are complex, and sure, some are just racist, but I don’t think it’s that simple.
Hatred isn’t nearly as powerful an emotion as fear. White people complaining about non-white main characters aren’t necessarily racist; it’s more likely, I think, that they’re afraid of losing the only consistent part of the white identity: being the “default” race.
It’s so important to learn regular household skills early on. My parents never taught me to do laundry, so even though I’ve been doing my own for decades, I still get a little anxious when I do, and often ask my wife to double-check before I start any loads.
I always get my preschool-aged kid to help (or just “help”) around the house whenever possible. If the prospect of helping Mom or Dad isn’t enough or if they’re especially helpful, I’ll occasionally throw in a small monetary reward (max of $3 for now). I try to remain as hands-off as possible in those moments, stepping in only as necessary to correct mistakes or do tasks too big for a little one. They’re still too young to do most chores solo, but they’ve developed enough confidence in things like cooking, cleaning, doing laundry, etc. that I’m certain they’ll have no issues when they’re of age.
If you really want a fresh experience and don’t wanna spend more time modding than actually playing, I cannot recommend more strongly Wabbajack. It’s a fully automated modlist installer with a huge gallery of available lists.
Some of the available modlists are foundational, giving you just the essentials (Engine tweaks, HD assets, community bug fixes, etc.), and some are total conversions, turning the game into a fully-realized modern third-person action game, with controls, animations, and graphics as good as any modern game.
It does everything for you, from installing Mod Organizer 2 to creating game launch shortcuts, and everything in between. All you have to do is log into Nexus (and whatever other mod sites your modlist of choice might use). It’s worth getting Nexus Premium at least temporarily to speed up the process.
Here is the Skyrim Special Edition modlist gallery.
Sounds like something an AI-loving Nazi would say!
Seriously, though, yes. This was exactly my first thought. There are plenty of reasons to be apprehensive about AI, but conflating it with Nazis is just blatant propaganda.
What an absurd, ignorant notion. Of course social media has a negative impact on developing minds, but forcing sites to display warnings would have zero positive impact. Browser extensions would immediately pop up to hide those warnings, and if anything, the presence of such warnings would increase kids’ use of social media, since the danger is something even adults had a hard time understanding and kids love to rebel against oppressive systems. The warnings would turn into memes.
The only answers to this problem are to break up and ban social media companies (not possible) or get parents to actually be parents and teach their kids about the pitfalls of social media.
Would that be so bad, though? The Nazi wastes money on a useless decorative blade and you get to take some money from a Nazi that might otherwise have gone to something worse.
That’s a quality dad joke. I’m glad you didn’t sit on it.
No, I said exactly what I mean. Go back and reread my comments, 'cause I’m not repeating myself again.
This might be helpful for you.
I’m not sure that widespread use of the platform is indicative of widespread love of the platform. People are entrenched, have sunk so much into it, and can’t find acceptable alternatives (cries in Fediverse). I’d guess that most people still using the platform do so out of necessity/ obligation while wishing for something better.
