I know it’s dominant, but it just sucks. To go back to the previous analogy, Whatsapp should have a monopoly on communication as much as BMW should have a monopoly on transportation.
The main event here was pretty interesting, but I’d just like to say that
It asked me for my name and Whatsapp mobile number.
Why not just the mobile number. Do they also operate drive-ins that only accept BMWs?
I had low expectations before, but Starfield killed them completely. Starfield actually helped me get over worrying about TES6, because I just lost interest.
Didn’t think of that, good point.
The inbreeding could also affect larger decisions in sneaky ways, like how it wants to compose the image. It would be bad if the generator started to exaggerate and repeat some weird ai tropes.
I would expect some kind of small artifacting getting reinforced in the process, if the approved output images aren’t perfect.
That is not how it works. That’s not how it works at all.
That should be easy on windows, but user permissions might also be enough for whatever it does.
I guess it’s just normalized.
That’s a lot of money they have stolen there.
I didn’t read the text on the first page and thought it was an electric chair.

EU is way too large of a market to “lock out.” Didn’t happen with Apple, for example.
For subscription hell, we’re deeper into it than is healthy, but I don’t expect it to take over because of this. Steam, which is the biggest, most profitable platform out there doesn’t even offer a subscription and shouldn’t be hurt by this. For competitors, trying to suddenly force everyone into a subscription would lose a lot of business.
Edit: Anyway, doing nothing about it is a guaranteed bad outcome.
It’s not supposed to be a finished law at this point. The main take from the initiative is that digital games have a massive issue with anti-consumer practices, and that consumers demand something to be done about it.
How would this exactly backfire in your view?
This looks more like classic spambots than AI.
Nice going. Maybe EU can beat some sense into digital “ownership”.
The thought was that it’d be closer to that, than the 12 times larger suggestion.
And yeah, I was definitely only taking hosting costs into account, because every instance is maintained by volunteers. I was also only thinking about large instances that benefit from economies scale and smarter management.
I took a quick glance at that thread, will have a more thorough pass later.
I mean, I haven’t seen a “Giga Train” before. Maybe it is the world’s first.
with more than $1-2 per year. ;)
More than my own share for sure, regardless of the result of the other argument.
why don’t you wish that everyone did the same?
I do. But a paywall adds a considerable barrier to entry.
Others said it’s spyware, but they are also loan scammers.
I honestly don’t know what data this browser exfiltrates, or what else malicious it might do, but I don’t trust anyone this shady to run proprietary code on my devices. Scammers rarely respect any kind of boundaries.
