    California bill (AB 412) would effectively ban open-source generative AI

    It is a matter of balancing workloads and looking to remove pointless work (instead of looking to do it faster)

    JURASSIC WORLD 4: Rebirth Trailer 2

    Finally went to see it. In general it isn't a great movie, but I was in for a popcorn movie and it delivers. The cast is the best part, everybody seems like they were having fun. I like that the villain isn't just midlessly moustache twirling evil for the sake of being evil, just ammoral and...

    Not that old. My first time on the internet was in a museum for children (circa 1997) and all that existed was the Yahoo directory and the browser was Netscape.

    What do you use to stream on your TV?

    It's kind of my dream too. (I just want to carry my media on my phone not a NAS.) My biggest stumbling block is that I don't have a bluray drive. I'm little by little copying my CDs into high sampling wavs though.

    What do you use to stream on your TV?

    Roku all the way. I couldn't avoid Google tv when I bought a big 4k tv, but Roku is my preference.

    About how artists learn. (And how it differs from AI)

    Then learning it should be trivial and you don't need an arcane and complex piece of software trained on exabytes of pirated material and running on costly state of the art gpu clusters while spending tons of electricity and water for every art piece, right?/s n_n More seriously this idea of...

    About how artists learn. (And how it differs from AI)

    @Theory of Games I finally got to check names. The other book I wanted to suggest was Learning to Draw by Robert Kaupelis. It is kind of foundational for many art programs. Also you can check books by Andrew Loomis to get started.

    General video game discussion

    Speaking of this, I'm looking for cheapish indie games. I have about $10 in wallet. I've considered some classics that are cheap, but I can't buy them all and I want to try newer stuff.

    3) Businesses are made of shareholders (people with the money) and stakeholders (people who rely on the business) When the business fails, the stakeholders suffer while the shareholders remain unharmed or even make more money than before.

    About how artists learn. (And how it differs from AI)

    For the stages of development, read "Creative and Mental Growth" by Viktor Lowenfeld. For the effects of aphantasia in artists this video by wired is very explicative (They start to get to it around halfway through the video, but there are other artist testimonials across youtube) As for the...

    Disney sues Midjourney

    So far we only have one ruling (that training is transformative). We still have many pending cases and even the case where that ruling comes from is still open -for piracy-. And we don't know if that ruling will stand on appeal or if it will turn into precedent.

    Particularly because the copyright holder isn't selling more of them so they cause no monetary harm. (And given the track record, they won't)

    Though if I photocopy my own OG 5e PHB, bind it and use that copy in the table in order to preserve the original book (after all, WotC isn't making nor selling any more of them) that might be fair use.

    About how artists learn. (And how it differs from AI)

    Hello, I keep noticing a few misconceptions about the way artists (and ultimately all humans) learn to do art. How these misconceptions lead to oversimplification and then in turn to use those oversimplifications to conclude "that AI isn't that different from how artists do it", and "artists do...

    Without Copyright, there are no rights to sell. It is just whoever has the most money capturing our shared culture through driving everybody else out of business. Before copyright that is what happened. Copyright gives us a framework to contain the power of the media moguls. Yes believe it or...
