Huge result here - the idea that social platforms can be defective products that cause harm is going to send shockwaves through an industry that has claimed essentially blanket protection from liability by saying everything is speech

I saw someone describe DLSS5 as "Incel Shading" and I am furious at how good a joke that is.

Blader @LocalBtnMasher X.com I dont understand why Breath of the Wild has a score of 97, while Crimson Desert, a game with a bigger world and more mechanics, has 78?

NEW: A hobbyist has created Nearby Glasses, an app that warns you if someone close by is wearing smart glasses. 404 Media spoke to the creator who said he was inspired by our coverage that uncovers how men are wearing Meta's Ray-Bans to covertly film massage parlor workers.

Hackers Expose Age-Verification Software Powering Surveillance Web Three hacktivists tried to find a workaround to Discord’s age-verification software. Instead, they found its frontend exposed to the open internet.

Discord was going to use age verification that literally pipes your information straight to the fascist US government, until hackers exposed it.

What the hell...

This is straight-up cartoon villain shit.

Predator: Badlands is, hands-down, the best Star Wars movie I've watched in years.

“Earth is a pleasure cruise for 1000 people and we're all just the staff.”

Someone has sure already made this observation but the fact they can convert all those empty warehouses into prison camps means they could have converted them into housing, community centers, job training centers or, hell, libraries or schools all along. It’s always a matter of will not resources.

It’s so funny to think about the fact that there’s people out there deferring every life decision to this

But necessary.

My stance on game pricing is that we need to tax the rich

Let's make racists afraid again.

Internal White House meetings going on, like, "Hopefully the racism will distract from the pedophilia which will distract from the killings which will distract from the pedophilia again which will distract from the economy which will distract from the pedophilia a third time"

I'd like to add that like in all industries, when we stop understanding how our tools work, we become entirely dependent on the corporate entities that own the mold. We are trading the ability to build and repair for the convenience of being permanent tenants in someone else's infrastructure/subs.

Ok, I think I know the cause for confusion here. When you originally said "there is a huge difference between X and Y" I interpreted it as "GenAI is ok in some scenarios (code, tweening) but not in others (generating art)", which triggered me a bit. Sorry about that.

What the hell are you talking about? My point is that: if you're using a tool that relies on models trained on massive amounts of content (legally or illegally collected), you're using GenAI. My *only* point is that it doesn't matter if it's for art, music, code, localization, etc. It's all GenAI.

Were they made using tools that relied on AI models that were trained on thousands/millions of examples both from the public domain as well as from copyrighted content? If so, yeah.

A cartoon made in response to an Elon Musk tweet that reads “Whoever said “money can’t buy happiness” really knew what they were talking about 😔” The black and white cartoon shows Musk standing against the wind. There is a distant expression on his face and a single tear being blown from his left eye. He wraps his arms around himself, trying to keep warm. The world is so cruel to him. Punishing him for the meagre crime of hoarding massive amounts of wealth and showing no empathy for the vulnerable. Also, he uses his platform to boost racism, misogyny, and white supremacy but seriously guys who would hold that against a fella? Next to him a caption reads “Being a shit person is ruining my life”

The Struggles Of Elon Musk 😔

It’s all GenAI. The model only knows how to generate the in-between frames or that line of code *because* it was trained on stolen content.

My rule of thumb is: if you had any LLM-generated content in your game, at any point during the production process, your game used GenAI. That includes using code provided by Copilot or suggested during a chat with any model. AI summaries differ, imo, because you didn’t *actively* generate them.
