I joined feddit.nl because it has the least amount of blocked servers. If I don't like a community I block it myself. The minute it starts behaving like lemmy.world I'm out.

There are two Linux paradigms that I consider stupid. One is the use of centralized software repositories managed by the distro instead of individual developer maintained installers. The other one is file system case sensibility. They already admitted defeat on the first one with the rise of containerised applications. I wonder how much longer they'll keep the charade on the second one.

Everything is a neo-nazi hand sign.

Stress = I don't have a clue what's wrong with you

I was playing a Souls game while checking some info from Fandom on my phone. Unbeknownst to me the site was eating all my mobile data because of a live twitch stream playing on a muted and invisible player. Fuck those fuckers.

Bill Maher and Drew Barrymore knew. They didn't mind going back to work if the negotiations stalled for a long time but when they discovered the strike was close to ending they realized it was stupid to take such a PR hit just to save a few days of shooting.

I'm curious. How do you train such AI without being raided by the authorities?

Bud light wasn't canceled, it was boycotted.

In some cases it took people 2 to 4 days to release a working version without Denuvo

2 to 4 days? How about months and counting? Not to mention many Denuvo protected games are only playable through Switch emulation, something that might end soon.

I'd be surprised if there WASN'T reliable data that confirms a significant loss in sales if they launched without Denuvo.

Here's a video of someone actually building something like that to play a chess match.

You're putting too much importance into this matter. If this is distressing you should let it go and think about something else.

Dude, chill. Even if you're right, having a meltdown on github doesn't help anybody. Go outside and take a breath.

What I'd really like to have is a tool that lists blocked communities. That information is not as public as defederated instances.

If he meant specific countries, why did he not say so?

The tweet from Musk that this article refers to is a response to another tweet that did mention specific countries, ie: Japan, US, China, Singapore, UK, Italy and South Korea. Half of them are primarily non white.

But sure, the guy who grew up in apartheid South Africa with a father who exploited black workers in an emerald mine and whose car company has repeatedly had problems with racism, the guy who once said that U.S. media and schools were racist against white and Asian people isn’t even a little bit racist.

He may very well be a racist, but this article makes a piss poor job to demonstrate the donation was influenced by racism.

That's a leap of logic. You are saying that since the human population is not collapsing on a global scale, the decline of population of particular countries is not a problem at all and you somehow associate a donation made by Musk to address this issue with racism. Even the author of the article admits she doesn't know exactly what the money is being used for:

The specificities of what Musk’s $10 million will accomplish remain unclear, beyond Bloomberg’s report that PWI will use it to research fertility, economic growth, and the future of the human population.

What Musk, and hopefully not you, is worried about is the decline in white people being born.

What's the source of this claim? It certainly isn't this article that doesn't provide any proof besides wild speculations.

It works for me.

I suspect with a creative enough prompt you will likely be able to claim copyright and author ship over the works.

It seems that's not the case, no matter how much effort or time you expend on the prompts. This is from the Copyright Office:

The Office does not question Ms. Kashtanova’s contention that she expended significant time and effort working with Midjourney. But that effort does not make her the “author” of Midjourney images under copyright law. Courts have rejected the argument that “sweat of the brow” can be a basis for copyright protection in otherwise unprotectable material.18 The Office “will not consider the amount of time, effort, or expense required to create the work” because they “have no bearing on whether a work possesses the minimum creative spark required by the Copyright Act and the Constitution.”

Here's another key factor:

Because of the significant distance between what a user may direct Midjourney to create and the visual material Midjourney actually produces, Midjourney users lack sufficient control over generated images to be treated as the “master mind” behind them. The fact that Midjourney’s specific output cannot be predicted by users makes Midjourney different for copyright purposes than other tools used by artists.

This only applies to an image generated with AI prompts that isn't significantly altered by an artist.

Here's the Copyright Office's response for anyone interested.
