I’m just this guy. You know?

I just updated through Ninite and it went to 8.8.9.
I don’t hunt. I don’t even own a gun, but I know a lot of hunters. My office has random rifles lying around on a regular basis, and every inch of the conference room is full of various heads. I don’t think any of those hunters would like that attitude either. They are pretty careful about what they hunt.

I have been reading the Far Side for 40something years… I’ve probably seen this comic hundreds of times at least while looking through the books. I just realized that the kids didn’t break the window.
I always wondered why there could be a shortage of coal and fossil fuel since it should be constantly made on various layers. Then I looked it up. Seems like that is all there will be in any quantity, especially for coal but also for fossil fuel though I have seen less about whether more fuel is being made by the biomass that falls in the ocean… I can’t find that information on a quick search when I’m supposed to be doing cad drawings right now … heh.


I would legitimately watch robot boxing.
I think that is coal. Almost all the coal in the world was made between 300 and 360 million years ago, between the times that the right plants showed up for coal production and the bacteria showed up to break them down too fast.
Fossil Fuel comes from dead plankton and algae, much older and more plentiful than this poor fellow and his colleagues. He isn’t going to achieve his aspirations.


Last time I played KOPNP2, I saw that you could pay for some stuff, but I never paid for anything. There was a lot of grinding, so maybe they purposefully slowed progress to make paying more tempting. I guess I didn’t finish the game, but I did get pretty far. That is very disappointing of them, though. (UPDATE: I just tried to play the game, and it put a big banner saying I have to upgrade and stops me from continuing my game, I went to the play store to upgrade, and the game is no longer “compatible” with my phone despite me playing for months before… So it is an even bigger problem than in game transactions)


Haven’t played Unciv, but the other two are ones I went long runs of addiction to. I would add Slay the Spire, Knights of Pen and Paper and Merge Maestro to that list.


Even so, if you commission a picture of Iron Man or if you generate a picture of Iron Man… both are going to be covered under trademark without any need to differentiate the two.

So you are saying that the person who made the recipe had no input to the process of cooking the resultant food? Nobody claims they “drew” something when they design an AI prompt. When you see a Frank Lloyd Write building do you say, "Nah he didn’t build that, he just made some plans. A contractor built it. Frank Lloyd Write isn’t an artist, he is just a prompt writer. "


It is more like writing a recipee down and giving it to a chef who uses their skill to interpret the recipe and make a new dish. The dish doesn’t belong wholly to the chef, despite the skill nearly wholly residing with the chef. The person who wrote the recipee isn’t a chef, but they are involved in making the dish that was their idea.
I’m not anti-AI at all, but their LLM definitely isn’t ready for the top of a google search as if it is real information. Of course, posting promoted search results at the top of the searches as if it was a real result already devalued them. They at least need the LLM result to be an opt-in option with caveats. I would probably opt-in but I would like off to be the default.
