...you have a link for that electric kitchen knife?

You say it's a copyright license, and I think that's exactly where I'm struggling with this. My understanding is that this is a license for something copyrighted or otherwise protected. Copyright protects things from their creation. A copyright license provides certain people action that would otherwise be denied by copyright. So are you saying that your understanding is that what we write here on Lemmy is copyrighted, with authors holding the rights? That would be helpful to know because that has not been my understanding of copyright (and I know country plays an important role here), so that would be interesting to look into.

I've started and stopped it a number of times over the past 20 years or so, and I'm finally playing it all the way through right now. At least one of those times was because I thought I HAD to fight Lavos through the bucket and thought I was expected to grind until I could defeat it lol. This time, I've found it really remarkable how tight it is and how well it still holds up today. Even though Sea of Stars came out last year, it feels like Chrono Trigger could have been released alongside it and it would only feel a bit more dated in some respects.

I don't know Rune well; got excited that there was a new group jumping in on cracking Denuvo. Looks like it's just a Denuvo-less version that got released, whether intentional or not. That'll work too!

Props to you for using strikethrough instead of deleting in your edit so the context still makes sense. I think you bring up an interesting point about competitive fps games. I imagine companies structure their development similar to games-as-a-service because they are essentially two flavors of the same thing, right? I had never really considered whether the growth of the competitive scene was part of the drive towards GaaS and away from tight single player experiences.

I think underlying all of this is that publishers want a guaranteed profit margin. That doesn't exist in art, of course, but they still want it. And if that means choosing what they think is a safe bet, they'll choose it. I think Bungie made GaaS look way easier than it actually is, and maybe the competitive scene contributed to that too. "Look at all the money these hero shooters are making, let's get a piece of that pie." Formulas just never quite work out that simply in real life.

Wait til he hears there will actually be 3 parts.

And yet, I believe LLMs are a natural evolutionary product of NLP and a powerful tool that is a necessary step forward for humanity. It is already capable of exceptionally quickly scaffolding out basic tasks. In it, I see the assumptions that all human knowledge is for all humans, rudimentary tasks are worth automating, and a truly creative idea is often seeded by information that already exists and thus creativity can be sparked by something that has access to all information.

I am not sure what we are defending by not developing them. Is it a capitalism issue of defending people's money so they can survive? Then that's a capitalism problem. Is it that we don't want to get exactly plagiarized by AI? That's certainly something companies are and need to continue taking into account. But researchers repeat research and come to the same conclusions all the time, so we're clearly comfortable with sharing ideas. Even in the Writer's Guild strikes in the States, both sides agreed that AI is helpful in script-writing, they just didn't want production companies to use it as leverage to pay them less or not give them credit for their part in the production.

Yeah, this is why I've urged so many people to shop around for a country like they do a job. See what country aligns with your values, with your goals, with benefits, etc. and start working to get there. You don't have to stay miserable if you feel like your country is not where you want it to be and you're not the one to help fix it.

Are you confusing what is democratic with what is supporting democracy? Democracy is just a system of government. A democratic country can nuke another democratic country and still be democratic. We could say they are not supporting democracy in other countries, but that's not what anyone is talking about here.

Yeah, I feel like we so easily forget that bigger does not mean better. If it's larger than what the development team is capable of touching by hand, then more often than not it's just empty or uninteresting space.

Lol, so is lemmygrad just full of trolls now? Guess it was inevitable.

Isn't the i7-7700k a kaby lake processor?
