Just today someone said to me with full confidence “but that’s not what ChatGPT told me, and they’ve always been right”

I think they eventually figured out mass doxxing isn’t such a good idea

Two headsets ago I bought a G933 from Logitech, mainly because it had an AUX input on the USB-dongle which I thought was pretty neat, but that one had big unnecessary RBG strips on the sides of the earpiece. The most ridiculous usage of RGB I had seen till date. But I programmed an interface between CSGO and the RGB on the headset to indicate my health so the people watching from behind us at a lan could see it.

Anyway, I’ve always preferred white LED’s and RGB can rarely replicate pure white.

Eta when?

At what point does human creative expression become a sentient being?

Exactly! When you pay for a service you own the copyright, like having a photoshop license. I meant in other situations where it’s free or provided as research tools to engineers under a company.

The existing legal precedence

I know that’s how law works, but there is no precedent for AI at this scale and will only get worse. What if AI gains full sentience? Are they a legally recognised person? Do they have rights and do they not own the copyright themselves? All very good questions with no precedent in law.

Oh yeah I was just showing an example! There is much more to it then just commercial, but it’s a very quick way get the attention of businesses. Whether it be direct or indirect.

I’ll compare it with the recent takedown of the Switch emulator Yuzu. It’s my understanding they actively solicited donations and piracy, both of which could be seen as commercial activities. Which in a project of that scale the latter was their downfall, meanwhile Ryujinx is still up and running. But we’ll see if that remains true.

Really? Even if your artwork isn’t used in a commercial way?

Not necessarily, if a model is public domain, there could still be a lot of proprietary elements used in interpreting that model and actually running it. If you own the hardware and generate something using AI, I’d say the copyright goes to you. You use AI as the brush to paint your painting and the painting belongs to you, but if a company allows you to use their canvas and their painting tools, it should go to them.

Great articles, first is one of the best I’ve read about the implications of fair use. I argue that because of the broadness of human knowledge that is interpreted through these models, everyone is entitled to have unrestricted access to them (not the servers or algorithms used, the models). I’ll dub it “the library of the digital age” argument.

“Publicly available data” - I wonder if that includes Disney’s catalogue? Or Nintendo’s IP? I think they are veeery selective about their “Publicly available data”, it also implies the only requirement for such training data is that it is publicly available, which almost every piece of media ever? How an AI model isn’t public domain by default baffles me.

Found the LLM

I bet you there’s a linguist out there who would celebrate this, and another who’s rolling in his grave

Oh for sure, the UX is horrible, but I find the UI quite pretty. Could definitely use better playlist managegement, this could be the same interface more geared towards music managing.

Those aren’t Spotify screenshots? I am very impressed.

Nothing warranted your hostility? Anyway, the post (not the comment obviously) is asking how much impact coins have on the game. Answer? A lot, the exact number is not known but general consensus is 0.5-1% per coin, which on an average laptime of 35 seconds, could save you 1.7-3.5 seconds per lap. If you’ve ever played a racing game, that is the very definition of dramatic, grinding some time trails will even reveal that fact to you.

If you still haven’t noticed the dramatic difference 10 coins makes even in multiplayer, that’s a skill issue on your side.

And then maybe, if you get good, you’ll notice some coins have less importance than others, but in general go for the coins, they will help you gather momentum and dramatically increase your chance of winning.

Time trials are not the same as head-to-head racing

Time trail just demonstrates the effect for you if you look at the splits. Having 10 coins is a major advantage and will increase your chances of, grabbing the lead and staying first. Every time you have a larger amount of coins will ensure that even if you get hit, you still have more coins than the person behind you. Literally being the difference between getting an overtake opportunity again or falling further behind.

are the people who keep hold of 10 coins in multiplayer games always the ones who win?

That is a very different question from your post, Mariokart is an arcade racer with a lot of RNG, no-one can guarantee a win with that much RNG. What you can do is increase your chances dramatically.
