• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Valve dev counters calls to scrap Steam AI disclosures, says it's a "technology relying on cultural laundering, IP infringement, and slopification"⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨day⁩ ago⁩:

  The thing is that it’s kind of voluntary. Game developers could have use AI to develop the game and if they wouldn’t want to disclose it no one would know.

  Unless the use of AI is the very crappy “AI art” that’s easy to notice the rest of uses would be very hard or actually impossible to figure it out to audit the legitimacy of the tag.

  And this will end like r/art where the mods deleted a post accusing the artist of using AI when it was not AI and the final mod answer was “change your art style so it doesn’t look like AI”. A brutal witch-hunt in the end.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Is it completely impossible to do age verification without compromising privacy?⁩ ⁨⁨4⁩ ⁨days⁩ ago⁩:

  It’s possible with certificates and 2fa issued by a government, which already have all your data, that would only verify that you are over 18.

  We already have that in Spain, sort of. We have a government app where you have a digital id stored and you can make it create a verify qr that only shows if the user is over 18 or under 18, no more data. The qr only last 5 minutes active.

  It is necessary? Not for internet access. That’s a duty of the one paying for internet in the household, not the government.

  I walk by some neighborhood bars, that are cheap and still some people go everyday like the Simpsons.

  Videogames are better. I’ve come to recognize some of the “local drunks” that are there every day, they do be like Barney from the Simpsons. It seems a little depressing looking at them destroying themselves with booze.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨The Video-Game Industry Has a Problem: There Are Too Many Games⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  How is having more options a problem?

  I’m playing games that came out 10 hears ago, and I have a backlog of many years and I couldn’t be happier with it.

  It’s better than no having anything to play.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨So...how the fuck do I trust *anything*?⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  The trick is that you don’t need trust to enjoy life. You can enjoy the mental challenge of trying to find out the truth. But sometimes all you got is the vague knowle that they are lying to you, and you have to make do with that.

  Focus on your pyramid of needs, and keep going. And try to see it more as a game or a hobby than your purpose on life if you don’t want it to destroy you.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨So...how the fuck do I trust *anything*?⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  I feel there is a curve there. A stranger seems bad, once you know them they seem good, once you really know they you understand they are bad again.

  There is a lot of facade in people’s relationships that can hide the true faces of people as soon as you get close to them.

  The classical example is the group of people going together to a party and having fun all together but when they return to their homes they start gossiping and thrashing on each other on their backs.

  Sometimes I think that the deranged behavior we use to see online is more true to the true nature of people than in-person social iterations. As Oscar Wilde said, people are the most true to themselves when they are behind a mask.

  At the end of the day the world is full of misery. And this misery is caused by people. People whose close friends and family surely can swear on how “good people” they are.

  I suppose some people could feel comfort in the facade. Believing is real and letting it soothe you. But maybe OP has reach a level of awareness of the truth in human nature that they will just see through that facade and won’t be able to feel comfort in the play.

  I’m not into crypto. But how can it being stolen just by reading some file in the computer? Isn’t the private key encrypted with some really secure password? It was stolen while the private key was being used?

  We should know if the gf is selling herself as a second hand sale or if it’s a recurring economic activity. If so, she should register in VAT and collect it.

  I found out that some female streaming voices give me some asmr. And overall can be more pleasant to hear. And less prone to have “youtube accent”. I take that as a win.

  Go with what sounds cooler to you. As they are really no different, and each person could give you a definition of the slight differences they believe they have.

  I go with bi, because it sounds cooler to me and because it was the term most used when I was younger so I grew into it, but that’s it.

  All the personal attacks were completely out of place. So that person is out of the debate for me.

  You were polite so I will answer to you.

  First. Pay per access is no-go. Art is publicly release, pay or not pay access for things that are costless to copy is unrestricted. This already happens, piracy exist and cannot made go away. It’s just its legalization.

  Second. Once pay per access is abolished. It’s more important to focus in pay for work or pay for release. Focusing more on making the artist a person who is being patronize for doing their art rather than a salesperson.

  Once we have this idea of patronizing, instead of private labels we could focus more on cooperative labels, taking out investors and useless middlemen. People could paid for some artist or some label (which will be exclusively conformed by artist) in order for them to keep making their thing. Some labels could be actually public labels, this already exist to some degree when some state pays for art to be made, just expanding it.

  Now that we changed the model in a model were people give their money before they get to see the final product we should put some protections in place to avoid scams and then we are golden.

  It’s not so complicated really. Many systems already exist. The history is the same as with everything else capitalism and rich capitalists are in a dominant position so they make any change for the better harder.

  So is a world without murder. That doesn’t mean that we should defend murderers doesn’t it?

  A world where gay people had equal rights surely was an utopia on the year 1800s, look how far have we come. Thanks to people that though that a better word is, indeed, possible.

  Why wouldn’t we strive for a better way of doing things? Why defend faulty systems that we know they are bad just because those are the systems currently in place?

  I do believe we can be better.

  And if not… Piracy it is.
