aren’t going to have the accumulated experiences of US veterans

Oh man, this dinner is going to be so good when I have 100 chefs making it.

Yes, defensively shooting the man running away. Of course.

Using an Aux cable I have to crank my stereo up to be able to hear it even with my phone set to max volume. It doesn’t have an output level that’s a reasonable volume.

And the output from the phone is so quiet even with my phone at Max volume I have to crank my stereo up on order to hear it. Switching input from Aux to anything else without lowering the volume first is what’s going to damage my hearing.

So it would be effective at preventing your site from being used as training data.

Not surprising. I had to remove my credit card information from Amazon because I kept getting automatically signed up for Prime without my consent.

“you have no bills, no job, no agency, no control. You are carried around to familiar and unfamiliar places at random whether you want to or not. Large unfamiliar creatures are constantly around you. You cannot communicate with your captors handlers, they only react when you scream.”

They are not going to charge them. They are just going to disappear.

Okay, but the original post is how Grok is taking pictures of children and removing their clothes. That’s not cartoons and not fictional people, so I don’t know why the conversation is being shifted this far away from the actual issue at hand here.

The issue with child porn is how you specify victim. One could argue easily available pornographic images of fake children increases the market and desire for pornographic images of real children and as such can result in more victims. Especially if someone can argue that images of real victims are “fake and AI generated.”

In regards to X and Grok however, my understanding is it is taking images of real children and producing naked images of those children. So there are real victims and Tim Sweeny is saying that shouldn’t be censored.

Making porn of actual people without their consent regardless of age is not a thought crime. For children, that’s obviously fucked up. For adults it’s directly impacting their reputation. It’s not a victimless crime.

That is also drawing a certain arrangement of lines and colours, and an example of “free speech” that you don’t think should be absolute.

It’s a negligible cost. Evidenced by the fact that despite a significant number of “new users” just collecting the free games and not spending any money, EGS continues to give away free games.

Clearly padding the number of users is worth it to them more than the ‘cost’ of those users claiming a free license on their account. Otherwise they would stop doing it.

I’ve never launched a rocket and he’s launched more than Kerbal Space Agency.

I thought you were talking about Stardew and was wondering how much of the game I was still missing out on.

You’re still being an “active user” that they can use to pad their numbers and entice investors.

If you want to hurt Epic the best way to do it is to not log into their system at all.

Epic pays a flat rate to make the game free, not per download.

Yar me hearty 🏴‍☠️

Borderlands 3 launching as an Epic exclusive saved me from making the mistake of purchasing it. By the time is was available elsewhere reviews were pretty universal on it not being worthwhile.

And when you went to investors you would just tell them you’ve increased your customers by 170% and leave out the part that they aren’t buying anything. You might try to make more money from investors than you’re losing in free books.

The developers get paid a flat rate for allowing their game to be free, not per download. You are not sending the developer any money and allowing epic to inflate their user numbers (up 167% !!!) to investors.

Look at that, ICE looking for nails that aren’t sticking up:
