This is a neat idea, but I feel like you’re missing the key thing that DAW recordings (and even soundcloud playback) have, which is the ability to see the song structure and anticipate what is coming (the drop etc). If you can come up with

I assumed that they are able to buy the displays at some kind of wholesale/discounted price?

Ok but how mixed and mashed does it need to be before it’s not considered derivative? And how do you know that the thing the AI generated isn’t a clone?

What’s the problem with Ashish Jha? I’ve never heard of him (I’m Canadian), but just searched his named and found almost entirely people praising him (ex. this article from a week ago https://www.washingtonpost.com/opinions&

Yeah that’s exactly it. Then they’re making money from their work still, and maybe even have an incentive to create new work for AIs to train on.

If you take a photograph of someone else’s copyrighted work, that doesn’t make it a new piece. For example, look at how Valve is rejecting games that use AI generated art: https://twitter.com/simoncarless/status/16

So I agree those are at least somewhat better from a moral point of view, but people still can’t use those as justification to keep using other models like Midjourney or Stable Diffusion. Now back to the morality of the Getty and Adobe mode

This is a bit more like if Mr. Ford had stolen all their horseshoes and melted them down to create the metal for his cars.

Being “inevitable” does not preclude something from being immoral. Technologies and economies can be immoral too. The idea that all technological progress is inherently good is bizarre. As for AI art specifically, the problem isn’t really t

by MattRix 3y ago
There are many reasons, but two of the biggest are that AI art can’t be copyrighted, and that using AI art is immoral. You may disagree with the second point but the fact is that it’s a very common viewpoint. To me it’s especially clear tha

They don’t cause anything even close to the number of issues that cars cause. I hope my city turns as many insured car drivers into uninsured ebikers as possible.

Of course not!

Not sure how that’s proof of anything? Traditional bikes are not dangerous to other road users, why would enforcement need to be super strict?
406.
by MattRix 3y ago
I think just about everyone agrees that e-bikes need regulations with strong enforcement. We just don’t agree that they also require training, licensing and insurance. However bad you think e-bikes are, the fact remains that cars are worse.
407.
by MattRix 3y ago
I never said they should be unregulated! There should still be laws that ebike users have to follow (just like regular bike users do), and police should enforce those laws as strictly as possible so that most people comply to them. You can

This has nothing to do with pilots, it has to do with ebikes. They are completely different contexts.

by MattRix 3y ago
If it led to replacing bikes with ebikes, then you’d be correct… but not if it replaces cars with ebikes (which is what it actually does, as the article confirms).
410.
by MattRix 3y ago
Requiring things like licenses and insurance would be a great way to drasticially reduce the uptake of ebikes, which seems like a horrible idea. I think this is a situation where your proposes solution (which I don’t think would be effectiv

Just look up the margins on Tesla’s cars vs EVs from other manufacturers. For example, Tesla’s net profit margin in Q1 2023 was 13%, meanwhile Ford is hoping that their electric vehicle division can get to 8% net profit by 2026 (they curren

Not a big fan of Tesla myself, but surely if they figure out self driving that’ll make their cars relevant for the forseeable future? On top of that they seem to be able to make cars cheaper and more quickly than most of the incumbents.

Tech is only a small part of what I’m talking about. I mean more that the standards have risen significantly as far as the quality of art style and polish, and the sophistication of gameplay and metagame depth.

by MattRix 3y ago
It probably is, but because games are such a new medium, the rate it’s advancing (not just in terms of tech, but also in design and audience expectations) is quite rapid. It means if you work on a single game for a few years, by the time yo

As someone who has been working as an indie game dev for the past 13 years, I think you’ve got a pretty unrealistic view of the situation. You can’t just make a “good game” anymore. The tastes of the market get more demanding over time. To

Indie is about whether some other company is controlling what you make. This means you can make an indie game even if it is published by another studio (like with Valheim).

There’s a lot to pick apart here. How much money do you think Apple spent on their VR product vs Meta? Sure Apple’s is better, but it also costs SEVEN times more. Do you really think Apple’s will sell more units any time soon? Meta has alre
