I’m not buying GTA6, and I wouldn’t care if R* burned to the ground.
I’m more like I’m not buying GTA6 for more than 15€ after less than a year of patching, and I wouldn’t care if R* burned to the ground.
Here’s a thread to discuss at great length the thing I’m sick of seeing discussed.
I sometimes correct zoomers if something is actually high key.
The distinction of using pre-existing CSAM is notable because law enforcement and child protection organizations frequently give those illegal materials a kind of digital fingerprint – known as a hash – which allows them to track images and videos when they appear online. In this case, attorneys for the plaintiff stated that the Canadian Centre for Child Protection used images’ fingerprints to identify AI-generated CSAM on X that depicted their client.
How does that work? Are there hashes of child sex abuse images somehow reproduced by LLM? Surely the new images don’t have the same hashes. Guardian is not really being clear here.
edit: Ars’ is less badly written: “This is the first case to accuse xAI of training on CSAM, and the complaint does not go into great detail on that claim. Previously, Ars reported on a controversial dataset that was later scrubbed after researchers found CSAM in the training data, but there’s no indication xAI trained on that data. In a press release from lawyers representing Doe, it explained that Doe’s images were included in a CSAM Hash List maintained by NCMEC, and “that same material” allegedly “was part of the dataset xAI used to build Grok’s image and video generating capabilities.” The complaint similarly only alleged that “CSAM depicting Plaintiff with its longstanding well-known hash values has been used as a part of the dataset used by xAI.””
The answer is always the human centipede
Following that logic, pirating software is quite all right, no one is stupid enough to believe someone loses if they make a copy.
Absolutely what I’m doing
Devs are also contending with the issue because they pivot from any originality to make safe games in a popular genre du jour and then cynically overmonetize it. Chuds are a loud minority, but other gamers also haven’t bought Marathon, it’s not just online negativity that’s the problem because that has never impacted sales to any significant degree. It’s just that games are well enshittified and have become a bad value proposition and also everyone has libraries full of better games from times they were a better value proposition and also indie publishers have sprung that are doing a great job and prioritizing fun / quality.
Shit, I like gaming, especially since Linux became the default platform, but with a library of 1.5k+ titles in my family group, I’d have to be stupid to buy fucking GTAVI day one from the CEO that hates both games and me personally.
It’s reddit with blackjack and tankies, to paraphrase Bender
