Oh yeah, absolutely. The fact that we own nothing these days is crazy.

I’m sorry, did you not want to play Ocarina of Time in the year of our lord 2046?
Just find better ways to achieve your goals.
Nah.
I would if it had any lasting power. I mean, can’t they just push out another eula update 6 months from now when this change is no longer useful to them?
Fuck arbitration, of course, I’m just not expecting this to really mean anything.
People should be allowed to smoke and gamble, too.
I still don’t think it’s good that they do that, though.
One of the aims of Stop Killing Games, as far as I’m aware, is the preservation of history, which seems like a very odd thing to be indignant about.
This comment reminds me of when Bitcoin became the world’s dominant currency.
Do you mean the voice of Mario…?
I do not want an AI voice to puppet his corpse for the next 150 years.
I also noticed that they were talking about sending arguments to a custom function? That’s like a day-one lesson if you already program. But this was something they couldn’t find in regular search?
Maybe I misunderstood something.
All right, I guess I’m here to collect then. We doin’ paypal or what?
Yes, but I imagine the roundabout is to maintain pressure.
I want Kamala to win but I also want her to fix the fucking gaza problem, and she can’t be allowed to forget that.
Okay, but think about the person who would vote for him because he’s powerful, won’t succumb to that prissy woke-ism, etc.
Like it or not, but people vote on vibes all the time, and thinking he’s a cool guy who will drain the swamp (by cutting welfare and social programs) is better for him than being kind of a smelly loser. It undercuts the strongman narrative that Republicans are selling.
I was equivocating singular words and entire sentences on purpose.
If you can recombine sentences in interesting ways, into paragraphs that are your own ideas, that isn’t plagiarism. Why would “people can’t construct unique sentences either” be a rebuttal if that’s not what plagiarsm is?
Instead it studies the prior work of humans, finds patterns and combines these in unique and novel ways.
You’re anthropomorphising.
LLMs are little clink-clink machines that produce the most typical output. That’s how they’re trained. Ten thousand inputs say this image is of a streetlight? That’s how it knows.
The fact an LLM knows what a Lord of Rings is at all means that Tolkien’s words, the images, the sounds, are all encoded in its weights somewhere. You can’t see them, it’s a black box, but they live there.
Could you say the same of the human brain? Sure. I know what a neuron is.
But, LLMs are not people.
All of that is besides the point, though. I was just floored by how cynical you could be about your own supposed craft.
A photograph of, say, a pretty flower is fantastic. As an enjoyer of art myself, I love it when people communicate things. People can share in the beauty that you saw. They can talk about it. Talk about how the colors and the framing make them feel. But if you’re view is that you’re not actually adding anything, you’re just doing more of what already exists, I really don’t know why you bother.
Nobody has seen every photo in the world.
Okay, assume someone has. Is your art meaningless, then? All of photography is just spectacle, and all the spectacles have been seen?
it doesn’t mean you can’t combine them in a unique ways
Okay, so you don’t believe new things can’t be unique. You just think that plagiarism is when one person uses the word ‘the’ and then a second person uses the word ‘the’.
Why do you find it such a depressing idea?
That art is dead? Through sheer saturation alone, no one has anything left to say? That watching the new Cinderella is line-by-line the same as watching the old Cinderella, and the money machine keeps this corpse moving along only because people are too stupid to realize they’re being sold books from a library? I really don’t know how you couldn’t.
This is like asking me why a polluted lake is sad.
the truth is a moving target somewhere in between.
Token guessing and… consciousness?
I’d argue it’s virtually impossible to write a sentence that has not been written before
I mean this sincerely: why bother getting excited about anything, then?
A new Marvel movie, a new game, a new book, a new song. If none of them are unique in any way, what is the point of it all? Why have generative AI go through this song and dance? Why have people do it? Why waste everyone’s time?
If the plagiarism engine is acceptable because it’s not possible to be unique anyway… I just, I don’t know how you go on living. It all sounds so unbelievably boring.
On a sinking boat, alone, in the middle of the ocean:
“We should really get a different boat.”
Thank you. I can’t believe no one’s thought of this.
Not with that attitude. “Is soon to be”?
They’ll say they aren’t for him, of course. But consequentially, they are.
My audiology is fine, I have a pretty big collection.
If you’ve got a better strategy than damaging plexiglass, why aren’t you doing anything? Get out there and prove them wrong, champ.
I don’t mean that as a dig, I mean seriously, go out there and do something. The world needs you.
