Almost all of these make absolutely no sense, they sound like propaganda zingers, not actual reflections of reality. The housing crisis is the only thing you can reliably hold against Canada, but it's far from the only first-world coun

Porn also doesn't give you cancer. It's pretty transparent that the restrictions on it originate from hyper-religiosity and conservatism, rather than some genuine concern about public health.

That's a terrible idea. Why the insinuation that only very rich visitors are "high-quality", and that "low-end" tourists are icky and undesirable? I'm a university student, and I enjoy traveling by myself, as l

Right? Humans are more than capable of severely harming civilization at any point, but for some reason this AI narrative is so much more compelling than the boring old issues we're used to. I still don't get the reasoning - we hav

Why not? For a hypothetical example - if we assume that simulating a human is AGI, and we have some hypothetical space-age magic tech bruteforce the problem by simulating every neuron and connection in the brain... why would being "emb

I don't know about immediately . Even Ryujinx, another established Switch emulator that rivals Yuzu and used to be more popular than it, is still up with no news of an incoming lawsuit. This takedown will definitely lessen the number

Do the Win10 drivers not work? I'm pretty sure they should be almost completely interoperable - Windows 11 hasn't changed much under the hood.

Hence "relatively". Specialized is the more succinct way of describing it though, yes.

I think this would be a big issue for them if they specifically marketed it as "the Zelda fix" or insinuated that the only purpose of that update was to make this leaked game playable. Otherwise, they could just say that updates a

I don't think it's likely that software developers can be sued on the grounds of "some people use it for illegal activity". Can IP rights holders sue any torrent tracker on that basis? Not to mention that playing backups

I'm confused as to how or why the Yuzu team would be held liable for this. Is it their responsibility to ensure that people don't donate money to them if the timing of that donation coincides with an unrelated leak of Nintendo&#x2

GPUs are already relatively fixed-function though - they're already designed with only graphics goals in mind, which is why they're so efficient at them. The reason why they were so suitable for AI was kind of a happy coincidence,

Wait, which startup could possibly be threatening the entirety of Google?

I'm young, and talking about years like 1985 feels like talking about some other reality, but to me it still feels like the two years aren't comparable. Whenever I read about the history of computers and software in the 80s, it fe

I mean, object recognition was never an intended way of solving the problem. When you ask for a "frog" image, the model isn't just trying to randomly find a frog object, it slowly narrows down data to find an image that'

So, with the initial controversy, what exactly happened? Was Google inserting information that wasn't asked for into the user prompts? Or is the underlying model strongly biased towards certain outputs?

But when we talk about specifically harming one person, does it really matter if it's a thousand different generations of the same thing or 10 generations that were copied thousands of times? It is a technology that lowers the bar for

Yeah, the word "good" is doing the heavy lifting here - while it's not the only one that can do it, it has a very comfortable lead over all alternatives.

As far as I know, the Discord thing is only for doing early testing among their community. The full model releases are posted to Hugging Face.

What viable alternatives are there to Stable Diffusion? As far as I know, it's the only way to run good image generation locally, and that's probably a big consideration for any business dabbling in it.

I've never understood the argument about image generators being (relatively) fast. Does that mean that if you could Photoshop 10 images per second, we should've started clamping down on Photoshop? What exact speed is the cutoff ma

How are these two things related at all? When AI companies speak of safety, it's almost always about the "only including data a religious pastor would find safe, and filtering outputs" angle. How's the market and other i

For the US government to step in, they'd have to do something extremely dangerous (and refuse to share with the government). If we're talking about video generation, the benefits they have are financial, and the lack of accountabi

If you go full regulatory capture, you might as well name it "AI", The AI Company.

An AI video generator can't kill billions of people, for one. I'd prefer it if access wasn't limited to a single corporation that's accountable to no one and is incentivized to use it for their benefits only.

The last two claims always felt wrong to me, because they're assuming a society where these kinds of tools are easy to use and accessible to everyone , yet the society at large is completely oblivious to these tools and their capabili

Honestly, it feels a lot more straightforward to me, which is what I like - it's named after what it is, and isn't slathered in marketing grease, where every word is optimized to be the most average Joe-friendly. I'd take Cha
