Because of social media. If you open youtube in a private browser window your stream is filled with alt right desinformation. Same with tiktok. Somehow social media stockholmed the population into blaming the left while right parties have been fucking up the Netherlands the last 20 year with their neo-liberal skullfuckery.

I assumed as much but the amount of nonsense I’ve seen about this topic has seriously blighted my trust in humanity.

Too bad about the UB crap. I love the flavor of Ixalan, I love Jurassic Park, but this UB shit just sucks.

It would be way easier to just not make UB crap. It also would help with not deluding an existing IP and prevent player fatigue. This is just corporate PR speak to try to calm invested player concerns, but ultimately as long as profits go up, they keep pushing with this bullshit until Magic The Gathering is dead.

Interesting. Since Unity acquired Weta we haven’t seen any Unity game stuff using that technology.

I understand that authors and artists in a more general sense are very, very concerned. The problem is that this has nothing to do with AI. If I were to generate a story based on their work, I simply cannot distribute it without legal repurcusions. Doesn’t matter if I used AI or not. The problem lies, once again, at the publishers. They can churn out copy after copy using AI and abuse the artist in that regard. Something similar is happening with DC Fables and it’s creator(who in a gigachad move just threw the entire IP into the public domain).So what we need is copyright reform. Artists deserve to be paid adequately for their work and should be protected from being ‘impersonated’ by publishers using whatever means, not strictly AI. All these ban AI discussions miss the underlying point completely, being copyright reform. AI just sped up the proces 100 times.

That’s ceo material.

Monster Hunter World/Rise. After mastering monsters it becomes a grind for parts.

Soy beans are delicious!

Worse, central bank issued digital money. https://www.reuters.com/technology/limited-support-central-bank-digital-currencies-global-investment-industry-2023-07-26/

Not behaving? Can’t buy or sell anymore. Reached your carbon limit for this month? Can’t pay for that steak anymore, buy some soy beans instead.

I think the main difference is how ubiquitous these wifi signals are and the fact that the signal is very homogeneous, allowing for the ai patterns to work on a large scale.

The first one that dies in a war is the truth. Every party tries to steer the narrative. It’s hard to keep a neutral stance. Fact is that Russia invaded a sovereign country under the false pretenses of ‘denazification’ and ‘military operation’. No Ukraine is not a shining beacon of democracy. Yes they were open for nato membership, yes US politics was heavily involved, and no their special treaty with Russia to not do so does not fucking matter because Russia already invaded Ukraine in 2014 making that treaty void. If Russia wants peace, all they need to do is leave Ukraine, super simple. We all know that won’t happen because Putin’s small dick ego can’t handle that.

Blocking opposition parties is not pretty. Not all opposition parties were blocked tough, only the ones with strong ties to Russia. source

However it’s not rhetoric. It’s cold hard history. Allowing a fascist dictator to invade a sovereign country led to WW2.

Untill you give me a source that states that the opposition isn’t able to function, I’m going to treat that part of your argument as blatant misinformation.

You know that postponing elections during a war is : a, fucking logical, because how to fuck are you going to get a representative vote if half of the country has fled or is on the frontline and b, their constitution says there can’t be elections during martial law. source Every fucking pro Russian troll arguments in this thread need to be ousted here before this place gets to be a Russian troll pit as well.

Amen. Now I only need to find out how the fediverse works.
