OpenAI recently updated ChatGPT to be able to reproduce images in a specific style, and a lot of people posted Ghibli-style versions. So all of a sudden, it’s a big deal.

The future is great!

They’re still a corporate entity, and they still want access to markets to make money.

Sure, I just mean, look how long BOTW has been sold - it will be a fraction of that length of time before Switches cease being sold. Mostly I was pointing to the system refresh as not only a chance to reissue BOTW, but to reset pricing expectations.

There will be a future where BOTW S2-edition is still being sold and the Switch is not. From them on, BOTW will be a $90 game, since it will be the only way to get it.

Pretty soon you won’t be able to buy a Switch, once manufacturing ceases.

Nintendo famously never discounts. But this is actually Nintendo’s way of not only never discounting, but increasing the price over time.

Sure, he’s not credited much, but his reputation for Shoeys is legendary.

I had Breath of the Wild on Wii U with DLC and actually called Nintendo to try to get it transferred to the Switch or reimbursed. They outright refused, and said they were different products and I needed to buy it again.

My guess is they’ll demand we pay again.

Her Hitler hairdo is making me feel ill.

The IA doesn’t have funds to pay what they’re demanding, so if there’s a settlement, it’ll be other concessions.

They’re going to burn down part of the IA library, aren’t they.

Also 2016, that was a big one.

The great taste of Ovaltine, of course!

“Free TV” means “TV paid for with your time and attention.”

Know what else pays you for your time and attention? Your job. We can quibble about how hard work it is to watch ads, but that is what’s happening: you’re just working, bartering and using up irreplaceable portions of your life with inevitable unavoidable ads, when you use these free TV services.

The same with Google’s recent Doom demo, this is just for headlines and nothing else. Non-deterministic AI generation is antithetical to what a game is, unless it’s an art game focused on the very fact it’s non-deterministic.

For example I played Super Mario Bros. and notice now if there’s even a 5ms delay in the controls. It’s instantly frustrating that my actions are non-deterministic in that small way. You need the game world to be persistent and reliable, and there is an extremely efficient way to do that right now, with code.

Making AI generate it is a parlor trick that is doubly worse - both unreliable and far more expensive to generate.

There are enemies in the demo. Like Superhot, they don’t attack until you move and the AI redraws.

Yep. “My draconian DRM loosened the straight jacket a little.”

Yayyy.

Thanks, I didn’t see this, there was a different embedded FAQ that didn’t have the specific Q & A below.

But, if anything, it seems to confirm the ad itself is just legitimately clicked from the user’s IP address and hidden from the user, and that there is code execution protection, but not that there is any privacy protection? It’s still very ambiguous.

How does AdNauseam “click Ads”?

AdNauseam ‘clicks’ Ads by issuing an HTTP request to the URL to which they lead. In current versions the is done via an XMLHttpRequest (or AJAX request) issued in a background process. This lightweight request signals a ‘click’ on the server responsible for the Ad, but does so without opening any additional windows or pages on your computer. Further it allows AdNauseam to safely receive and discard the resulting response data, rather than executing it in the browser, thus preventing a range of potential security problems (ransomware, rogue Javascript or Flash code, XSS-attacks, etc.) caused by malfunctioning or malicious Ads. Although it is completely safe, AdNauseam’s clicking behaviour can be de-activated in the settings panel.

Yeah, I can’t find an answer whether the “click” is behind some obfuscation, or if the “click every ad” is the obfuscation step itself by attempting to poison the data. The latter may work but yes, may actually increase tracking. Wish that answer wasn’t so hard to find on their site.

Everybody identifiable in that image honestly should sue Elon Musk for defamation. It’s likely an open-and-shut case. He should feel some pain every time he makes these accusations.

The woman left the house before 13News arrived. She returned just after noon accompanied by a lawyer. The group of ten or so investigators left a few minutes later.

So the FBI were in there, the woman left and came back with a lawyer, and then almost immediately the FBI left. Boy, that doesn’t sound at all like they were conducting an illegal search.

“Whoops, we pushed to prod and have no backups. Sorrryyyy!”
