  The AI label needs to be present if the finished product contains AI generated assets. So AI generated code, or AI generated art.

  In the example above you grey boxed in AI but then replaced all the assets with ones that humans made. There is no distinction there between doing that and just having literal grey boxes.

  You couldn’t require an AI label in that scenario because it would be utterly unenforceable. How would a developer prove if they did or did not use AI for temporary art?

  So yes you can draw a line. Does the finished product contain AI generated assets. You don’t like that definition because you’re being pedantic but your pedantry interpretation isn’t enforceable, so it’s useless.

  Emmet has been around since 2015. So it was definitely not LLM backed.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Indie game developers have a new sales pitch: being ‘AI free’⁩ ⁨⁨4⁩ ⁨hours⁩ ago⁩:

  No because AI replaces a human role.

  Code completion does not replace a human role, that’s like saying that spell check is AI.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Indie game developers have a new sales pitch: being ‘AI free’⁩ ⁨⁨20⁩ ⁨hours⁩ ago⁩:

  Since you would never see it that’s pretty much irrelevant. Clearly this is about AI generated art and AI generated assets

  Whether or not you use AI to grey box something is a pointless distinction given the fact that there’s no way to prove it one way or the other.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Indie game developers have a new sales pitch: being ‘AI free’⁩ ⁨⁨20⁩ ⁨hours⁩ ago⁩:

  I’m sure everyone has always explained this to you given the number of downfalls but algorithms aren’t equal to AI.

  Ever since the evolution of AI people seem to have lost the ability to recall things prior to 2019.

  So why do patients have to pay the fee, why doesn’t the hospital have some system where they go oh yeah, this person with this registration plate has been admitted, leave them alone?

  Why is it on the patient who may very well have a lot more going on than simple pain to arrange matters.

  Because if I had overstayed my 3-hour limit I would have absolutely been charged. They use the excuse of needing to keep spaces open as an excuse to charge people. It’s nothing more than exploitative.

  It gets somewhat retconned in the TV series though where he’s basically just this political genius who secretly runs everything.

  The TV show is a lot better than it has any right to be, it’s a shame it only got one season.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Might not be efficient, but at least it... Uhhh, wait, what good does it provide again?⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨day⁩ ago⁩:

  This is nice to be confused with shit porn. Which is just not very good.

  And I want none of this healthy diet and exercise BS from the nutritionists either. I want to peel or an injection not salad.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨OnLy tWo eLemEnTs⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨day⁩ ago⁩:

  There’s virtually no helium 3 on Earth, but that’s not because we’re using it up, it’s because there was essentially never any really to begin with.

  The moon has helium 3 on its surface so naturally that leads to the idea of mining the moon for the material. But there are no actual serious plans to do so, for one thing nobody knows how you would actually go about doing that. Besides there’s practically no market for it, it’s used in some fusion research but only a tiny quantity is required and that can be supplied with domestic supplies more or less forever, since it’s possible to manufacture it from normal helium.

  Well yeah of course it’s optional already. If you don’t want that then you just don’t buy those games.

  You didn’t specify which South.

  It’s not a 4K capable graphics card though it’s a 1080p capable graphics card that they’re saying is 4K because of the existence of AI upscaling which I think is a cheat. So you’re already overestimating the cards capability.

  It depends on how many Valve I’ve already manufactured. If they were smart they’ll be quietly manufacturing these and only just now announced it. You don’t announce a product until you’ve got some units sitting in a warehouse somewhere, or else a competitor might see the opportunity to make things difficult for you.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨days⁩ ago⁩:

  Unequivalent PC would have a full fat non-mobile graphics card. They keep trying to claim it’ll do 60 FPS at 4K with AI upscaling. Which is the same as saying it’ll do 60 FPS at 1080p.

  This would be a compelling product as a console, the PC capable parts are a nice bonus but no one’s going to be buying this to be their primary computer unless they are going to replace a potato

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨days⁩ ago⁩:

  I suspect it’s because of the uncertainty over tariffs. Ironically making manufacturing in the US less appetising for businesses.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨days⁩ ago⁩:

  I’d like it to cost $1.50 but it won’t. The minimum reasonable price this comes in at is around $500 you would have to be really unaware to expect it to be less than that

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨days⁩ ago⁩:

  99% of people won’t care though they just want to be able to play stardew valley on their big TV.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨days⁩ ago⁩:

  $1,000 is not entry level.

  If you go on any website and look at entry level PCs they’re all around $600 to $800.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Silly goose⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨days⁩ ago⁩:

  No contest isn’t a dismissal. It’s just means that you are not pleading guilty, but are accepting the courts ruling.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Silly goose⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨days⁩ ago⁩:

  I’ve never understood how it can even be legal for hospitals to have parking fees for patients. It’s not like you became ill simply to take advantage of the parking situation so why are they charging people?

  I had to go to hospital because of a seven tendon. Which I thought would probably be a quick fix but they were complications so it took forever and I had to get my girlfriend who had known for about 2 weeks at this point to move the car too long to stay. I did not consider ever the possibility that the parking people would just be reasonable

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨days⁩ ago⁩:

  I don’t know why people keep insisting that the current prices are relevant. These products have been manufactured for months now, so we need to be looking at old prices not current market value.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨days⁩ ago⁩:

  I didn’t use prices from last week I used prices from last year because that’s when Steam would have actually made their devices. Manufacturing of the steam machine and the steam frame is rumoured to have occurred around 2023-2024, should the Trump shenanigans shouldn’t have affected things too much.

  That’s not to say that somehow much the devices will cost it’s just how much it would have cost to build. How much profit they’re going to try and make on them is an unknown. With the steam deck they aim for $100 profit margin, but who knows with this device. The steam frame is also an unknown because it’s a weird configuration.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨days⁩ ago⁩:

  A PC of similar performance is about $550 so I don’t get what they’re saying about it not been priced like a console. That’s about exactly what a Series S would cost.

  It’ll just be that a lot of password systems insist on a number in a special character.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Top 200 Most Common Passwords | NordPass⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨days⁩ ago⁩:

  There was a post on here a while ago about the most popular four digit PIN numbers. I think the top five were

  And 1701

  We’re are all so original

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Top 200 Most Common Passwords | NordPass⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨days⁩ ago⁩:

  For the longest time the admin password for the router at work was PasswordReset.124, the useless penetration testers didn’t even pick up on it.

  I’ve changed it to something actually random and then, following established industry standard security practises, somebody else has gone and written it on a post-it note, and stuck it to the router. So we’re all fine now.

  I’m extremely tempted to “hack” the network and bring it down only to be the hero that brings it back up after a few hours of non-productivity. But I feel like if they found out that might be a firing offence.

  Looks like it’s from formula 1, which is more of an emotional hothouse than your average high school.

  So apparently the way it works is that you either have no money at all, or a Ferrari for every day of the week, and there’s no possible in between?

  What if I just have top of the range Mercedes money, will I be happy then?
