  • I'm trying, but it's hard to stay motivated when the information on a lot of local areas I visit are so damn old.

    There are entire areas where it looks like it acquired the data 5-10 years ago from some other mapping software (Google, Bing, something else), and hasn't updated since. It didn't have all of my street information for my neighborhood area, so I started there first. I didn't really mind it too much, because, hey, Google didn't have it filled in several years ago, either. I started using Vespucci and drew out some of the houses and streets.

    But, as soon as I expand out, there are strip malls with really outdated information. StreetComplete tries to ask me questions about these places that were replaced long ago, and it doesn't have the tools to allow me to carve out sections of the strip mall, since it only thinks there are two shops, but there's now 8-10 shops. So, I go back to Vespucci and try to fill it out, but I only have so much time before I'm going to some other location, and I don't really have the time to draw out even the map details in the place where I'm parked. I feel like I'm the only one that bothers and the entire city is out-of-date. It's overwhelming.

    If bots somehow got this information back then, then why can't it pull this data now? Certain sections and entire cities desperately need a refresh.

  • I remember seeing JonTron videos back in 2011, well before the 2015 gamergate era. Even back then he’d make offhand remarks about how tough it was being White, how badly women treat men, etc.

    You seem to mistake cause and effect. JonTron was an racist and misogynistic asshole because that's who he was. He wasn't doing that because he was trying to tap into some kind of audience as a trick.

    And he has been largely forgotten because of his behavior and image. People ditched him and moved on. GameGrumps cut him out a long time ago.

    “removed” didn’t really become a right-wing attack in the gaming and movie spheres until pretty recently.

    Even before that, there was this whole corporate removedness marketing trope that really drove the concept into the ground, like Popular Movie But Female and adopting it as a business strategy. It's like kids all running with this popular meme, only for parents to sudden adopt it and it's not cool any more. So, right-wing spheres to pick it off of the ground, dust it off, and just carry that energy forward, which is unfortunately what they are good at. Leftists are shit at messaging. Like, really really shit at messaging.

    And now, you can't even tell if people are being critical of "removedness" as a right-wing attack or as a response to corporate synergy marketing bullshit. Because the latter might actually be a good argument, but it's so abused that most just now assume the former.

  • Let's not forget that Russia was playing both sides. As soon as GamerGate started, a bunch of games "journalists" all posted garbage articles like this, in the same day, pushing this shitty "gamers are now dead" message, fanning the flames even further and basically just pissing everybody off.

    Sorry, I'm a gamer. I'm still alive, even ten years later. Gamers ain't dead.

    And then CNN, MSNBC, Fox News, and the rest all ran with it to treat it like a horse race, which is exactly what the Russian experiment was trying to achieve.

    Articles like this sound a lot like that garbage back then. Stirring shit in the wrong directions without proper context or thought, using dubious connection points.

  • I don’t inhabit those spaces, so I’m only going off the biggest names.

    Obviously. The list you rattled off looks like you did a Google or YouTube search on "gaming influencer" and picked a few random names. Don't spout off uneducated opinions about subjects you don't know anything about.

    Rich people tend to lean right. Is this the lesson you're trying to illustrate here?

  • Konami is no longer a video games company any more. They lost that title when they kicked Kojima out and decided to fully embrace pachinko games.

  • The poor already don't have copyright laws, and the rich continue to have their safeguards. This is already how it is.

    What? You think those laws on the books are for you? No. Only the rich get to enforce those copyright laws.

    It's even worse than saying there's no copyright laws, because the poor think they have them.

  • This is a big part of why fair use is in such a bad state right now: no predictability in how courts will rule on it as a defense, plus no way to keep you out of courts in the first place.

    That's not completely true. Fair Use has four declarations that you must pass, so there's at least some definition to how it would play out in the courts. But, it's not a definitive rule of law, so yeah it's not going to keep you out of the courts.

  • that is technically transformative, but most likely not enough to justify fair use.

    Right, but it's pretty obvious that the transformation for AI is very transformative, and it's lossy at that. After the training, you can't just duplicate the image it was trained from, even if it was asked a thousand times.
