I would choose a character and concentrate on learning him. There are builds online you can use to not get over whelmed at first by the shop.

I play an other MOBA but there is probably a lane that has two players for most of the match, you should concentrate on playing one of those two types of characters so you and your son can maximise play time together, most likely the tank would be the better choice (more forgiving, easier to learn, support character so your son gets to be the hero).

I’d rather work 8 hours awake and have the lucid dreaming just add to my leisure time tbh. Seems a waste to unlock the dreamworld just to be office drones in it.

There’s different ways to automate it. There was a thread a while back where someone outlined their system. He kept the free Spotify account and had a script that checked it every week for his new recommended playlists, then it would download it automatically. He used an other software to host the library.

Google literally considers itself an ad company. They have a huge framework meant to profit off of ads shown on other products and platforms. They sell data as a service to better target consumers for advertisement. It’s not comparable to a tv channel.

I’ve read memory of empire lately, which is a political intrigue in a Sci Fi setting. It’s centered around one city palace.

I second Lebowitz, the expanse and Ursula especially. Left hand of darkness is amazing.

If you enjoy project hail Mary and the generational aspect of 1000 years of solitude, you might enjoy children of time which has similar themes. It’s my current favorite.

Rainbows end, windup girl and scanner darkly are also great suggestions with no space travel.

Children of time is amazing imo. Love the concept and the characters.

It does feel like a lecture sometimes, even with stuff that is just difficult and not immoral.

It’s not always sex tourism. Of the people I was referring to, it was during a week-long fishing trip, the prostitution wasn’t the reason for the trip and only occupied a small part of it.

I think it’s gross regardless and I’d rather none of it was a reality, so you’ll have to find someone else to argue with.

The corporations already have all the data, users literally gave it to them by uploading it. Open source only has scrapped data. If you start regulating, you kill open source but the big players will literally just shrug it off.

Traditional artists already lost. It sucks but now we get to find out if the winner is all of society or only just Adobe and Shutterstock.

I’m the opposite. If someone does it at home, they probably do so regularly while a vacation is once every now and then. I’ve known a couple of normal people that did it on vacay, it’s just another facet of the party for them, letting down their hair etc. The ones I know that do it at home tho…yikes. But it’s all kind of gross regardless.

I do not think there’s much risk to hosting a forum talking about piracy, even less so when your forum is simply connected to it.

Im personally not a big fan of defederation. It just seems to split the user base, it’s extreme like cutting your arm off to avoid some poison ivy. In the end, it reduces the amount of users a post gets too and reduces the number of comments and general engagement. It has its place and I don’t think this was it.

It’s also annoying to have to create different accounts. I didn’t quit Reddit to start using 5 different mini reddits one at a time.

That being said, it’s really hard to care about.

I had my insurance company ask me for my phone number for security purposes. It was an old one I had since replaced and forgotten, so they read it out to me and asked me to confirm it.

The purchased service is internet. I should be able to use it how I want, including supplying it to other devices through my phone. This is the equivalent of Netflix not letting us cast onto tvs.

Not sure what you are defending here, this is clearly unethical and gross corporate behavior.

There is no open source future if all we have is the blender and nothing else

It depends for what kind of AI and but no, giving sources and building with just volunteer data is just not possible at our current technological level. I’m mostly talking about large llms because that’s what’s really at stake and they train on huge amounts of data. Like ALL of stack, GitHub, Reddit, etc. Just fine tuning them on a consumer level takes more than 50 000 question and answer pairs, that’s just one tiny superficial layer that’s added on top.

Grammerly should absolutely add an opt out option to gain consumers trust, but forcing the the whole industry to do so is a disaster.

If individuals can opt out, so will websites to “protect their users”. Then we get data hoarding, where stack and GitHub opt out of all open source options but sell it to the only ones that can now afford to build ais, Microsoft and google. it won’t include data of certain individuals, the few that opt out, but I’m guessing eventually the opt in will be directly into the terms of service of websites, you opt in or you fuck off.

How does anyone except corporations benefit from this kind of circus. In 10 years, AI will be doing most office work. Google isn’t dumb and wants that profit. They and openai have all the data, they can strong arm or buy what they are missing. Restricting and legislating only widens their moat.

Most of the data is scraped, it’s not up to the website. You can’t give a list of citation since it isn’t a search engine, it doesn’t know where the information comes from and it’s highly transformative, it melds information from hundreds if not thousand of different sources.

If it worked only with volunteer work, there would simply be not enough data.

Any law restricting data use in AI is only going to benefit corporations, there isn’t a solution for individual content creators. You can’t pay them for the drop in the bucket they add, thee logistics are insane. You can let them opt out, but then you need to do the same for whole websites which leads to a corporate hellscape where three companies own our whole economy since they are the only ones who can train ais.

What happens when every corporation and website closes their doors to AI? There isn’t any open source if we can’t use scrapped information from stack overflow, GitHub, Reddit etc.

Sure some users will opt out but most won’t. Every single website will restrict though and then they will sell it to google and Microsoft who will be the only companies able to build ais.

Models need vast amounts of data. Paying individual users isnt feasible, and like you said most of it can be scraped.

The only way I see this working is if scraped content is a no go and then you pay the website, publishing house, record company, etc which kills any open source solution and doesn’t really help any of the users or creators that much. It also paves the way for certain companies owning a lot of our economy as we move towards an AI driven society.

It’s definitely a hot mess but the way I see it, the more restrictive we are with it, the more gross monopolies we create for no real gains.

It’s because certain companies are stirring the pot and manipulating. They want people mad so they can put restrictions on training AI, to stifle the open source scene.
