The Guild’s core proposal is this: AI-generated material can't replace a human writer. AI-generated material cannot qualify as source material for adaptation in any way. AI-generated work can be used as research material, just as a Wikipedia article could, but because of the unclear nature of the sources that go into its output and how the output is generated, it has no place as an "author" in the world of copyright. AI outputs are not, in the Guild's opinion, copyrightable.
That means that if a studio wants to use an AI-generated script, there can be no credited author and no copyright. In a world where studios jealously guard the rights to their work, that's a major poison pill.
I think this would be a decent compromise. It feels like the core of the AI art fight is really who can make money off of it.
“My fear is that our industry will be diminished to such a point that very few of us can make a living,” Ortiz says, anticipating that artists will be tasked with simply editing AI-generated images, rather than creating.
This feels very prescient. Maybe there will be laws passed to compensate artists for feeding their work to an AI, but there's no way companies will avoid using AI to do the heavy lifting.
I've got several ikea glass water bottles because i tend to forget where they are. They're pretty simply made (glass bottle, plastic cap, silicone ring) and therefore easy to clean.
Everyone is part of the server they signed up with. Federation allows everyone to see each other's posts, filtered through your own server.
If another server defederates yours, their users essentially can't see your (new) comments/posts. But you can see most of theirs.
It is not necessarily a 2 way street. Continuing the example, your server can choose whether or not to defederate back. If it does defederate, you'll no longer see any new comments/posts from the other server.
Sounds like something medical? Like depression or sleep apnea as someone else mentioned. It's hard to enjoy life when you don't have the energy to engage with it.
Maybe AAA games just don't need to be as large or sprawling. Release one full campaign with everything you need included in the price. Then if it does well offer dlc.
As the article points out, balder's gate was early access for 3 years, sold at full price, and still has bugs. It's not an exception to the rule, larian just delivered a good product that had good source material behind it.
For me, it's definitely option 2. I really like the way Dark Souls handles it, where the armor sets looks the same on both genders, and everyone can be as tart or as modest as they like.
Maybe there's a case to be made for a setting in BG3 that pixelates the naughty bits, but looking through youtube comments on BG3 romance scenes (for science!), most people seem to think the nudity is funny more than anything else. The few complaints about nudity really seem to be about the fact that they have to look at a dick/gay couple, which i don't have too much sympathy for.
AI needs constant data to stay up to date, so i think it's still worth it.
Personally I've found a happy medium between total privacy and convenience.
