Reads just fine to me. Why do you say that?

Specifically 2nd hand sales that take place on their marketplace, which is Valve's own cash store. Players can still do items-for-items trades for free and that powers a lot of third party markets where there is no Valve cut.

That would hardly be a bad thing in my opinion, given that Fortnite looks fantastic

If you think that's extreme, wait until you hear my stance that code shouldn't be something that you can own (and can therefore "steal") to begin with.

All of that together still hardly changes things. Even if we're very generous and say that you managed to spend an unrealistic 16 hours a week on one topic in university (unrealistic as you are rarely doing only one class in uni), that

How do you figure? I think it's fairly obvious where the distinction is from stealing (the original owner no longer has their property) and copying (the original owner still has their property). The murder analogy you laid out doesn&#x

It's telling that a criticism of objective externalities (they are less space efficient and more dangerous) is perceived by you as a personal slight. The only one making this a personal matter is you, yet you accuse others of doing so.

It's weird how this phrase has come to mean "potentially vaguely unethical"

The front page almost always had at least a few articles about some cryptocurrency for months just this last year.

This was flimsy all the way through, but loses all credibility when this part rolls around: > It risks poisoning the well of collective thought, and of our ability to think at all. ... To place all of our trust in the dreams of badly pr

I mean, sure, that's more or less how a company operates. You make a new product, you charge for it, you advertise it. What's the big issue? This all seems pretty standard.

This was a much more entertaining read than the link the OP, in my opinion. I didn't realize official court documents could have such an attitude. The guy that wrote this fuckin hates the complainants and it shows, hahaha

Except that there is demonstrable evidence that indicates GPT actually does have some level of understanding via internalized world models (of Othello in this case, not chess, but the idea is the same): https://thegradient.pub&#x

Yes, it is fair to assume that and in cases like these it will continue to be for the perceivable future. The AI does not stand to gain anything by about lying about a simple puzzle game, and neither does the CEO. Even if the CEO somehow di

It's been a long time since I've seen anything from his channel, but I recall that he would put out blog posts explaining the processes shown in the videos too.

I wonder how/when we'll fix this. Arbitrary needs built into us because it was advantageous a bajillion years ago that only serve to make us unhappy now seem like the kind of thing that we could do without. My money's on brai

I'd imagine it would be similar to how the (former) doctor who kicked off the anti-vaccine thing had his Ph.D. revoked, which involved a whole board of his peers reviewing his claims and actions and determining that he caused irredeema

I tried to ask it if Goku could beat a quadrillion bees in a fight and it said it couldn't tell me because that would be encouraging violence. I think it would be great if it would just tell me instead

I'm more than okay with a little unfairness if it means stupid garbage rules like that can be removed, even retroactively. If I had to suffer through emailing source code back and forth with my collaborators because version control was

Something simpler like this casts a much wider net in terms of who it can attract, and I recall another similar technical manga like this one going viral, so this was probably made to try and recapture that success.

The Switch is already said to be unhackable with purely software-side methods by the big names in the scene. I guess we'll find out with time if that's really true, but the current homebrew scene for it really only exists thanks t

Isn't the crime of false advertising in the failure to deliver what was claimed, and not the claim itself? You can very well falsely advertise your product however you like provided you don't actually sell it to anyone, because on
