It's a person independent neopronoun

Cute, but no it's not

Its a nickname, your username shortened. That's a proper noun whether you pretend to use it otherwise elsewhere or not, as context is important in communication

I do like the trolling effort though so keep on keeping on

What do you call it then? Because that's what's happening here

Unless "drag" refers to someone/thing else entirely, which context heavily implies otherwise

Another way to word this might be "Platform with 8,000,000 monthly streamers/listeners pays less than platform of 1,000 subscribers to view pictures."

Think about it for a minute and it becomes pretty clear that shouldn't be surprising at all

You subscribe directly to someone on Onlyfans, you subscribe to Spotify as a whole and your listening habits help split the bill. If both are ~10 bucks a month of course one is going to make you more money than the other

Especially if they're a lesser known artist. Even if they're getting listened to, if the same people listen to 3x as much swift or whatever that will impact the lesser known persons earnings

This article is a dog shit way to bring attention to Spotifys issues, simple as

an argument that was never made

It says 0 scandals right there in the post

Just because the other guy also has scandals doesn't mean she has 0

But disclaimers, who read those?

Everyone who visits the page and reads "create your own character and customize their voice, tone, and skin color!" The guy was talking to Daenaerys from GoT ffs, that doesn't even take a disclaimer

And if LLMs can't be moderated/controlled then there needs to be laws

Not cant, it's hard. Also, the entire point of this specific one is to not have those limits so it can be used for specific purposes. This is made clear to anyone who can read, which is required to even use the chatbot service

The only law we need here are the ones already on the books. Parent was aware there was an issue and did nothing at all to stop it. Could have been drugs, porn, shady people they knew IRL, whatever, doesn't matter

But how feasible is it to have a recording of every single time any high school brit lit class put on Shakespear?

significantly less so than video games, which are digital files that are at least for a while all stored on a companies servers

But, again, is a copy of the state of WoW on October 25th 2024 all that important when you consider that what really matter are the players

You wouldn't be copying a specific date, you'd be copying a game version. Opinions on how granular it should go vary, but in a game like FFXIV for example I'd say every major number patch. I'd quote like to go back and remember how things looked, felt, and we're back then even without the players, which are the least important part of preserving that game world to me

Which gets back to the argument of preserving the games themselves (which I think has a lot of merit) versus preserving the culture around them. And people tend to conflate the two because they think "we are preserving culture" gives them a stronger argument.

Ah, I think I get what's happening here: video games are culture. Youre misinterpreting it as meaning "the culture around games" but we mean it literally as "a work of art/part of culture", like "high culture art" or similar phrases. People preserve paintings, why not games? Both are culture

Because they are very different problems. And conflating the two is how you end up losing masters because "there are VHSes with it on it".

You're the only person conflating them

Issue I see with character.ai is that it seem to be unmoderated

Its entire fucking point is that it's an unrestricted AI for replaying purposes, it makes this very clear, and is clearly for a valid purpose

Why the Frick do sexual undertones or overtones come even up in non-age restricted models?

Because AI is hard to control still, maybe forever?

They, the provider of that site, deserve the full front of this lawsuit

Lol, no. I don't love companies, but if they deserve a lawsuit despite the clear disclaimers on their site and that parents inability to parent then I fucking hate our legal system

Shit mom aware her kid had mental issues did nothing to actually try to help, wants to blame anything but herself. Too bad, so sad, I'd say do better next time but this isn't that kind of game

Giving your vote to an independent or worse not voting at all, just gives more of a chance for Trump to win the election

If you don't live in one of the 7 states that matter in an election then you can vote your morality, safe in the knowledge that the EC will ignore your input, anyway

Inb4 some dipshit mentions down ballots when we're talking about the fucking presidential election

Oh shit this is hat immersive game pack shit?

Yeah, it's garbage, don't fucking use it. FFXIV did a whole thing back in end Walker and it just ruins audio

Meanwhile my 5.1 setup works with most games out of the box, and universal HRTF works better than IG on the 6 pairs of phones I've tested it on on 2 different fucking Games

Scam software

can be replaced by a broom in 90% of cases

only need a vacuum cleaner if you have a carpet

Or a rug, or cloth furniture like a couch, or drapes/curtains, underneath the fridge and other spots a broom just doesn't fit, inside cupboards, probably more places that aren't coming straight to mind

Oh: keyboards!
