- Comment on Meta staff torrented nearly 82TB of pirated books for AI training — court records reveal copyright violations 3 weeks ago:
If Meta gets away with this or gets off lightly, I’d love for this to set a future legal precedent for future piracy cases.
Unless they just straight up want to say “Piracy and copyright laws only apply to poor people” in a court of law.
- Comment on Crysis 4 is on hold as developer Crytek announces layoffs 3 weeks ago:
The Crysis games have been dead to me since Crysis 2. Crysis 1 is still a blast to play even today.
- Comment on Instagram is training AI on your data. It’s nearly impossible to opt out 8 months ago:
Forgive me for the pessimism, but I sincerely doubt that they honour any opt-outs. Meta has shown time and time again that they’d rather just pay fines as business expenses instead of abiding by law(s).
- Comment on Car makers BMW, Jaguar Land Rover (JLR) and Volkswagen (VW) used parts made by supplier with links to Chinese forced labour, U.S. probe says 9 months ago:
This. Numerous industries in the US make use of forced prison labour.
- Comment on Minister suggests Canada is considering tariffs on Chinese EVs following U.S. move 9 months ago:
Goddamn, I wish we could act like our own independent country for once instead of just puppeting whatever the US does.
- Comment on [deleted] 9 months ago:
Appeasing shareholders and investors.
- Comment on GamesIndustry.biz: Microsoft's mystifying mismanagement 9 months ago:
Microsoft has so many spinning plates up in the air right now and they have no idea how to handle them all. Eventually they’re all going to come crashing down and smash on the floor and it’s not going to be pretty.
- Comment on Microsoft closes Tango Gameworks, Arkane Austin and others 9 months ago:
Most of the beloved Arkane team had left long before the closure.
- Comment on Bethesda Celebrates 30th Anniversary of The Elder Scrolls, Provides Small Development Update on The Elder Scrolls VI 11 months ago:
I do not have hope that this developer will make another good game let alone one that respects the TES IP or in any way lives up to expectations.
- Comment on VW vehicles to converse with drivers via ChatGPT by mid-year 1 year ago:
I don’t know if this is hilarious or pathetically sad. AI has become the current “must have” craze in the tech world and it’s baffling watching every company try and find a way to shoehorn some form of it into their products and then try and justify its existence.
Cerence Chat Pro from technology partner Cerence Inc. is the foundation of the new function, which offers a uniquely intelligent, *automotive-grade *ChatGPT integration.
Why the hell would I want this?
- Comment on This app lets restaurants and coffee shops charge to use the bathroom 1 year ago:
Cool. I’ll just piss along the exterior wall of your building then or on the fence at the back of your parking lot.
