The sheer irony of their AI policy being written by AI is almost hilarious. Also archive link I guess: https://archive.is/vtio4

It's made me very skeptical of new sources and sites I don't have any prior experience with. If I don't know the author has been writing for a while now, then I'll probably take their work with a grain of salt until I id

If you're really concerned about legality, then I guess homebrew games do exist for the console: https://itch.io/c/1537684/snes-homebrew https://www.reddit.com/r/snes/comments/j

Things also get more complicated here by how many Pokemon don't have just one evolutionary line, but multiple, and that said lines diverge based on various external factors. Eevee is obviously the most famous one, since based on what e

Because a lot of them are built for the sole purpose of using AI for something, no matter whether that thing needs AI to begin with or (in many cases) needs to exist at all. It's the issue most trending tech has, where the majority of

Oh this is definitely another big part of it. Signing up for any streaming service is a complete pain, especially if you're trying to set it up on a TV or something. Every time someone non-technical has tried to set up Disney+ or HBO o

Honestly, I'm not at all surprised. In many ways, YouTube (and other content creation platforms in general) are just a better deal for many people than traditional forms of entertainment. The thing with traditional media is that it&#x2

Sadly this seems to be a worldwide phenomenon. Almost all the right wing populist parties in different countries seem to be heavily connected to MAGA and co in the US, and want to try and push the same things in their own countries. And eve

Eh, I question the list here. Why? Because they're all startup founder focused sites and communities. Unless your product or service is aimed at other founders, or a techie focused audience in general, that's not where your custom

I've always wondered what the people in these videos/making these videos think of this extra traffic from articles, sites and subreddits like this. Do they ever randomly go on YouTube, then freak out when they see a ton of notific

Gonna be a bit controversial here, and say that sometimes the opposite can happen. That someone becoming successful can give them the confidence to share ideas they wouldn't have shared otherwise, and give ideas that people would have

Sure. And I'd say the culture of the country and expectations there probably play a part even between places with similar income levels. For example, someone with a very entrepreneurial mindset is probably going to want to be born in t

This. People seem way too keen to assume every questionable decision or random mistake is part of some super complex 4D chess game, while the real answer is probably a whole lot more mundane. They write like this because that's how a l

Technically speaking? Sure, most of the companies I've worked at aren't exactly doing rocket science. Creating media websites and doing work for clients as a marketing company are things that have a very low barrier to entry. The

Depends on what you're using AI for. Programming purposes? Most people aren't too bothered by that all things considered. Making assets like art and music? Yeah, people really dislike that, and there's a huge stigma against g

I mean it makes sense. Keep in mind that: 1. There's a lot of competition in many elite fields, and a decent percentage in both groups aren't going to make it anyway. 2. Being good at something as a child doesn't mean that&#x

It's interesting to hear this, because my machines have basically never been locked down. Okay, in some companies that's because the company had us use our own PCs, so they didn't bother to do anything to restrict what they w

Is convenience stores only selling Coke or Pepsi an American thing? Because over here in the UK, every shop I've seen that sells soft drinks sells both brands at the same time. Probably alongside a bunch of others. Then again, the bran

As someone who refuses to upgrade from Windows 10, it's because all the new and invasive features that 11 adds are things I refuse to go anywhere near. I don't need ads in my operating system, I don't need a system to track e

Not even just regular Joe, a lot of the things large companies get away with would lead to far harsher consequences for small or medium sized ones. Any normal company spying on people's devices at the scale of Facebook, selling dodgy g

Let's not forget the frustrations of an online system disabling the ability to select anything other than 'all' the text in a paragraph/text area/whatever. So many times I've needed simplify the data provided b

Kinda torn on this to be honest. On the one hand, it's pretty clear that whatever moderation is being done on app stores like the App Store or Play Store is clearly not enough to handle the scams and frauds and fake apps found there. T

Yeah, and it's kinda depressing how hard it is to get people to accept that. Every community and group seems to operate under the assumption that anyone who's not 'successful' is too lazy or selfish to deserve it, and th

Seems like it's been taken down now, as have all URLs used for this scam. Hopefully it took less than 8 hours to do this, but hey, at least GitHub eventually did something.

I've always wondered why we don't see any platforms just remove the media while leaving the metadata, comments, ratings, etc intact. Like, is there some legal requirement that the idea itself has to be hard to find, or is it okay

I think there's definitely an argument to be made that Google needs YouTube downloaders to work in some capacity, since a lot of their biggest and most profitable creators rely on them. Think news outlets/streamers/YouTubers

100%. These large social media companies are very capricious about what counts as breaking their rules, will kill your reach at the drop of a hat and will fold under the slightest bit of pressure from someone richer/better connected th

Yep. It's why the only way most people get their hacked YouTube channels back is by begging the Team YouTube account on Twitter for help, and hoping enough people bother the staff there that something actually gets fixed. If you'r

For me personally, the two main factors that made me buy a home (and avoid renting anything when not required) are stability and control. Renting leaves those up to a third party, ownership means you're the master of your own domain. T

100% this. Way too many developers and companies release projects under licenses that allow for others to use it, then complain that they're using as it allowed by the license. If you don't want people to use your product to build
