Wilmot Works It Out - much simpler than Wilmot’s Warehouse, an extremely enjoyable puzzle game.

Of course I did!

With a #$ump this size You gotta flush twice

News news news, it may also be using a game controller to translate user input into character actions.

I thought we, as a society, were over this ridiculous “drinking from jars” phase.

Here’s one face I wish I could block. Searching any video game topic on YouTube always pops his drama filled mug in the results.

Persona 5 Reloaded!

The one where the zoom animation plays several times in quick succession? Yea, I get that bug too. Very annoying.

Lol, of course, right after I put my deck on eBay

All this assumes the top selling list is automatically generated based on sales data and not human-curated like most “top/trending” lists on many platforms.

Truly, a lineup worthy of all these Billions of dollars spent in acquisitions and thousands of lives fucked with layoffs.

It always looked good, just played poorly.

I totally expect this will be the last title before it gets closed.

Thanks! …and bummer. I’m not a fan of this iteration. Liked the crazy, almost photoreal style of earlier ones. The minimalist to-the-point aesthetic of 2020 one feels too utilitarian to me.

I don’t get it. Is it a new graphics update for the original game or for 1/3 of the original trilogy? Is it a new timesheet for current trackmania? Is it a new title?

I loved the original dessert, it was easily my favorite of the first environments.

Lovely, but I’d like to note this happened 7 years ago in 2017 :)

Probably some kind of exoskeleton. This thing is heavy.

Feels to me like some folks just want to give due warning to help others from throwing money away. I don’t think most are being negative for negativity’s sake - but I may just be too optimistic about the state of the discourse.

SSKTJL (just rolls of the tongue, doesn’t it) is actually a prime game for Denuvo - I bet it has a very high percentage of people kinda-curious about it but knowing they won’t ever pay a penny for the hot garbage it is. I’d imagine very high piracy on it.

(just to be clear, I don’t applaud or approve of adding Denuvo to anything, especially sneaking it in, just thinking out loud)

How is Cities: Skylines 2 these days? I remember it had a pretty iffy launch. Curious whether it’s mostly fixed yet, or still something to wait on.

“metadata” is such a pretty word. How about “recipe” instead? It stores all information necessary to reproduce work verbatim or grab any aspect of it.

The legal issue of copyright is a tricky one, especially in the US where copyright is often being weaponized by corporations. The gist of it is: The training model itself was an academic endeavor and therefore falls under a fair use. Companies like StabilityAI or OpenAI then used these datasets and monetized products built on them, which in my understanding skims gray zone of being legal.

If these private for-profit companies simply took the same data and built their own, identical dataset they would be liable to pay the authors for use of their work in commercial product. They go around it by using the existing model, originally created for research and not commercial use.

Lemmy is full of open source and FOSS enthusiasts, I’m sure someone can explain it better than I do.

All in all I don’t argue about the legality of AI, but as a professional creative I highlight ethical (plagiarism) risks that are beginning to arise in majority of the models. We all know Joker, Marvel superheroes, popular Disney and WB cartoon characters - and can spot when “our” generations cross the line of copying someone else’s work. But how many of us are familiar with Polish album cover art, Brazilian posters, Chinese film superheroes or Turkish logos? How sure can we be that the work “we” produced using AI is truly original and not a perfect copy of someone else’s work? Does our ignorance excuse this second-hand plagiarism? Or should the companies releasing AI models stop adding features and fix that broken foundation first?
