Blessed relief from the spider venom , jellyfish stings, croc bites.

It provides fertilizer but needs “some food”.

How much food and what is it?

Typically for aquariums you have to feed these things fertilizer so it seems odd

Oh dear no I’m repying to agree. It is all good.

It’s a lazy Sunday and while I have a dozen better things to do trying to make clear posts about ai in a place where people will agree intelligently is a nice waste of time.

The soul thing is very poor ground to argue on yes which is why I immediately spent the time to make a different one :)

At very best it’s an intuitive understanding of “procedural oatmeal” where the brain spots patterns in the output so quickly it becomes tired of the art and loses interest.

But I think that’s being generous and I think of lot of the time it’s a purely to stake a position based on identity and a challenge to that identity.

It’s not any of those reasons, it’s because it can only exist by being trained on human authored art and in many cases you can extract a decentish copy of the original if you can specify enough tags that piece was labelled with.

The ai model is a lossy database of art and using them to launder copyright violations should be illegal, is immorally stealing from the creator, and chills future artists by taking away the revenue they need while learning. This leads to ai model art having not enough future work to train on and the stagnation of the human experience as making beautiful things is not profitable enough, or doesn’t give the profit to those with power.

Thanks for writing this up, sounds even worse than I’d have guessed from the title.

There was definitely a problem at first (when musk bought twitter) on mastodon with people buying a server instance for the black community, and then not actually blocking all the standard bad servers.

Basically giving them a server full of targets to harass.

I guess you could say setting up an instance and maintaining a blue sky block list is sort of similar, you’re taking it on yourself to see all the horrible stuff, even seeking it out, to protect others.

The blue sky approach lets people use multiple Blocklists though and masto just has the one of the server you’re on and your personal one. Lots of room for improvement.

The playing time isn’t sustainable either

I did just hear libsoftiktok joined and got banned pdq too.

Great news honestly, I thought they were dumping all this on custom Blocklist but if they’re also moderating themselves it really makes me consider making an account.

But isn’t the aim for their blocking to be so good they can serve Nazis and antifa on the same platform without them conflicting?

Is that really much better than twitter the nazi bar?

There were rumours about one for rimworld but I’m not sure if it was real or on steam.

I’m torn, because this is useless, but also I’d quite like them up high on a platform for everyone to point and laugh at.

it’s up to us commenters to back you up.
Totally worth reading, just great internet creativity

Did they also mistranslate the Chinese women commenting on trailers that the studio is gross and don’t want women playing their game?

It’s honestly tragic, if you read that article it’s primarily about the Chinese game industry culture with one game and studio used as an example because it’s a supposedly a AAA game to rival western studios.

We’re being asked to believe ign has slandered a large Chinese studio, entirely made up, and kept the article up regardless. It just doesn’t hold water. Harrassing some poor women off social media and writing long comments about everything being made up is easy, but ign are still standing by the article six months after it was published.

There are so many outlandish claims in this comment with basically nothing backing it up

This 100%

I deleted my reply because it was too much but the original ign article on wukong is very tame. I can’t see why they’re so worked up to harass the author off the internet.

Some days beehaw not having downvotes is a real issue.

With the number of trackers on most sites you usually get a performance boost with an extension vetting each network call

I was about to start mouth foaming, but got to the end of the name distant worlds:universe

If anyone is giving these a go make absolutely certain you’re not buying distant worlds 2 by mistake.

Star ruler as an disappointment is fair, but have you tried the totally different and now open sourced StarRuler2?

It’s a much better game, much tighter with a definite progress path for colonies shipping things to each other (later used by slipstream which is more pure management and might not fit your list)

It’s free, it’s worth a try I promise it’s very different to SR

He probably found it very hard to make any accounts on computers
