Rentlar,

I hope you’re right! My Blizzard/Starcraft boycot ends when that parasite of a CEO leaves.

Might be wishful thinking on my part but maybe Microsoft will better utilize their IPs.

Rentlar,

Talk about bad geopolitical takes. I had to endure a hell of a lot this last weekend at the (Canadian) Thanksgiving dinner table.

Rentlar,

🤷‍♀️

Rentlar,

Workers of Michigan. Now is the time to stand up and push back against industry lobbying. Raise your voice, write letters to your state government rep. Get petitions going, take part in activism with your peers. This is your chance to bring the American work culture and environment into something livable.

Rentlar,

I agree with your point overall in terms of AI not actually learning (I’d describe it as optimizing).

However, I will say that inferring from what is not said is a tricky one to apply generally, which you do in your reply by jumping to conclusions as follows:

The fact that they refused to reply hints that the reply would be against their best interests, either lying in a liable way or saying the truth and potentially ruining their investment.

This is dangerous, can be used disingenuously and I discourage using it in our discourse.

Rentlar,

Getting the money from being paid to influence for Dubai is probably pretty cool for them.

Rentlar,

I do particularly appreciate the method of being open and public about how negotiations are going because so often employers often announce their “super generous” offers by distorting the facts and narrative as they see fit, and media runs with that. Unions would be better off to engage their members in talk of what they want and how they are demanding it from their employers.

Rentlar,

They would want full control over the software and enforce their vision of having you pay forever to lease their shit.

Rentlar,

This is right! There’s a large group of artists that are making a living not by making things that use creative thought and artistic vision but for the soul-sucking sake of profitability. Think promotional flyer design, ad video filming, stock images and footage for corporate use.

These are the first places that AI will come for before any actual storylines/narratives that would require creativity can be consistently generate. So the bulk of what AI is replacing is the boring regurgitation work before the actual creative work.

Therefore, what’s really preventing creatives from pursuing what they love is not AI mimicking their work, but a society that rewards mindless profit-making bullshit than creativity.

Rentlar,

To anyone considering voting for Republicans: this is the party that repeatedly claims it’s for a “Small Government”.

Rentlar,

Two consecutive 4-day work weeks for people in BC, Canada. Our Thanksgiving is next week, very much looking forward to it.

Rentlar,

you could call it an indie game fad, echoing others, I dunno about “bubble”.

Rentlar,

Yes indeed, carbon offsets themselves are often just accounting trickery, equating things that are unequal.

A carbon pricing scheme/national market quota/cap-and-trade works somewhat, so long as the supply of permitted pollution is made to dwindle over time. It’s a good balance to give polluters time to make investment into less-polluting technology as the price of continuing the way things are is made more expensive, while rewarding firms that reduced their pollution, and being fair to consumers who aren’t one of the major sources of pollution.

Rentlar,

Excellent work compiling this as always.

Great to see the expenses are stable and the project has more than a year’s worth of funding to spare.

Rentlar,

May she rest in peace and vacate her seat.

We need proper governance in the US Senate, not geriatric puppets for either Democrats or Republicans (like you-know-which-lich)

There’s No Such Thing as an Ethical Museum (conversationalist.org)

At its core, an art museum is essentially a narrative of empire. If, as Napoleon quipped, history is a set of lies agreed upon, a museum is their physical manifestation. Aptly, the Met—the grandest, most august museum in a city that likes to think of itself as the center of the world—boasts all the baubles that connote...

Rentlar,

I have visited many museums not too long ago, to name a few:

  • The Kyoto Railway Museum (京都鉄道博物館)
  • The Verkehrshaus der Schweiz
  • The National Railway Museum York
  • The Deutsches Museum Verkehrszentrum
  • Train World
  • Spoorwegmuseum
  • Danmarks Jernbanemuseum
  • Museo del Ferrocarril de Madrid

I’m sure as the author says, these are all dirty opioid/oil money-funded, filled with religious fanaticism, stolen goods, and feminine objectification.

‘Call of Duty’ Doesn’t Just Depict Bad History—It’s Pro-War Propaganda (progressive.org)

I just started playing COD Black Ops Cold War because I got it through my PlayStation Plus subscription and wanted to try it out. I’ve previously played some others like Modern Warfare (1 and 2) and WWII. While it always felt a bit over the top and propaganda-ish, I really liked it for the blockbuster feeling and just turning...

Rentlar,

Duty Calls is the best game in the series

Rentlar,

Voters continue to see the 80-year-old Biden’s age as an issue, with 74 percent of voters saying they have major or moderate concerns that he doesn’t have the mental and physical capacity to be president, while 44 percent said the same of 77-year-old Trump.

Damn crazy to read this. I guess round numbers make the 3 year difference look more like 70-89.

The “Display Name” field is where you can set it to your user + pronouns. I changed mine here to show you as an example. Using Jerboa btw.

There may be a character length limit to a Display Name which is what is preventing you from appending yours to your username.

Rentlar,

Glad I could help you out.

Rentlar,

I reckon the hot dogs, pizza and other junk I’m having often are going to kill me faster than plastic is.

Rentlar,

So, taxing the rich and multinational companies fairly is a matter of national security, eh? Take note, all my favourite 3-letter agencies!

The Four Drives - A model for decision making

Here’s an interesting question for you, one that many people have asked themselves, asked their parents, teachers, and even asked their Gods: what makes people do what they do? And a lot of people have answered that question with their own interpretations of human nature. I’m sure you’ve heard many of them before: people...

Rentlar,

So to condense it:

<- What people feel

-> What I feel

^ What people want

v What I want

Rentlar,

The author of this opinion has a point, and that artist not getting ownership of works involving AI image generation is a consequence, but I like that it also discourages big studios from taking AI generated mishmash as a drop-in replacement for human produced artwork. If they used it some video generation program at this moment to replace strikers, there are grounds that the studios have no ownership of it.

Anyways, I think copyright law should be fully torn down and rebuilt to reasonable levels, so AI may be a good catalyst to achieve this vision of mine.
