Mom and Dad staring incredulously as family dinner takes a very unexpected turn.

I rent a place where I don’t have direct access to the main switch, so what I do is I just stop paying utilities until Vim closes :)

I haven’t been paying attention to Hyundai, what did they do?

Woo let the dogs out

Oh yeah no that was a typo, that budget is for Alan Wake 2 - its on the Alan Wake 2 wikipedia page, sourcing a Finnish newspaper at the time of writing this comment.

Alan Wake is pretty much the definition of a modern AA game, though, so that just plays into what he’s saying.

While Alan Wake 2 is super well executed, its development costs is dwarfed by modern triple A games that cost at least 10 times more to develop.

(Alan Wake 2 reported budget 50-70 million euro, compared to games like Assassin’s Creed Valhalla, Red Dead Redemption 2 or Cyberpunk 2077 which were all reported at ~500 million euro, while games like MW3 (2023) and GTA VI both have billion dollar+ budgets).

Every car is the same shape and only comes in one shade of brown. They are required to have large, graphic advertisements across the sides warning about the environmental impact.

I actually think that would be very effective. It would also make every city very depressing to live in. However, we could mitigate that by populating the streets with colorful plants and art.

Well, shit

It is surprising to you that one of the largest international news organizations in the middle east also covers news from spain? Why?

Why would he pay for something that’s free…?

Minimalist design really went from “maybe 38 different clickable links isn’t the most optimal way to get around this site, we should probably optimize how we use screen space” to “WE MUST GET RID OF USEFUL FEATURES SO WE CAN DISPLAY 5-8 MORE PIXELS OF WHITESPACE” in the span of a decade lol

He said “because of ballooning development costs”. Stardew valley is famously a one man labor of love, the opposite of ballooning development costs.

$14 pr sold copy is ridiculously high in this context, because development costs is only for one dude.

You’re comparing this guys runaway success with a company with several development teams, office spaces, marketing teams, accountants, probably janitors, security, etc, etc.

I’m not saying he is in the right, just pointing out that it is apples to oranges.

Europe uses cl, ml and dl. A can of coca Cola is 33 ml, a shot is 2 cl. Then you switch to litres at 0.5l.

We also use decilitre, but only in cooking, and I think most don’t think of it as 0.1 l, but rather just think of it as the size of a measuring cup, i.e. it has more in common with “1 cup of sugar” than with “0.5 liter of water” in terms of how you think about it. More abstract, if that makes sense.

Yes I am aware of that. However, I’m not sure how this has anything to do with the fact that it is also illegal to steal data, then continue to use said data to make profits after having been found out. The two are not connected in any logical way, which makes it hard for me to continue to address your concerns in a way that makes sense.

The way I see it, you’re either completely missing what we’re talking about, or you have some misunderstanding of what the AI language models actually are, and what they can do.

For the record, I’m in no way disagreeing with your views, or your statements that legal and ethical don’t always overlap. It is clear to me that you are open minded and well-intended, which I appreciate, and I hope you don’t take this the wrong way.

You seem to think the majority of LGBT+ positive material is somehow illegal to obtain. That is not the case. You can feed it as much LGBT+ positive material as you like, as long as you have legally obtained it. What you can’t do is train it on LGBT+ positive material that you’ve stolen from its original authors. Does that make more sense?

No, especially because it’s not the same thing at all. You’re talking about the output, we’re talking about the input.

The training data was illegally obtained. That’s all that matters here. They can train it on fart jokes or Trump propaganda, it doesn’t really matter, as long as the Trump propaganda in question was legally obtained by whoever trained the model.

Whether we should then allow chatbots to generate harmful content, and how we will regulate that by limiting acceptable training data, is a much more complex issue that can be discussed separately. To address your specific example, it would make the most sense that the chatbot is guided towards a viewpoint that aligns with its intended userbase. This just means that certain chatbots might be more or less willing to discuss certain topics. In the same way that an AI for children probably shouldn’t be able to discuss certain topics, a chatbot that’s made for use in highly religious area, where homosexuality is very taboo, would most likely not be willing to discuss gay marriage at all, rather than being made intentionally homophobic.

If there’s something illegal in your dish, you throw it out. It’s not a question. I don’t care that you spent a lot of time and money on it. “I spent a lot of time preparing the circumstances leading to this crime” is not an excuse, neither is “if I have to face consequences for committing this crime, I might lose money”.
