Didn’t think of that, good point.
The inbreeding could also affect larger decisions in sneaky ways, like how it wants to compose the image. It would be bad if the generator started to exaggerate and repeat some weird ai tropes.

I would expect some kind of small artifacting getting reinforced in the process, if the approved output images aren’t perfect.
That is not how it works. That’s not how it works at all.
That should be easy on windows, but user permissions might also be enough for whatever it does.
I guess it’s just normalized.
That’s a lot of money they have stolen there.
EU is way too large of a market to “lock out.” Didn’t happen with Apple, for example.
For subscription hell, we’re deeper into it than is healthy, but I don’t expect it to take over because of this. Steam, which is the biggest, most profitable platform out there doesn’t even offer a subscription and shouldn’t be hurt by this. For competitors, trying to suddenly force everyone into a subscription would lose a lot of business.
Edit: Anyway, doing nothing about it is a guaranteed bad outcome.
It’s not supposed to be a finished law at this point. The main take from the initiative is that digital games have a massive issue with anti-consumer practices, and that consumers demand something to be done about it.
How would this exactly backfire in your view?
Most of HMD’s efforts, like that “repairable” phone are a joke. I’m not particularly impressed with this either, but it seems that the pogo pins provide standard USB, which could enable some fun hacks.
This looks more like classic spambots than AI.
Nice going. Maybe EU can beat some sense into digital “ownership”.
The thought was that it’d be closer to that, than the 12 times larger suggestion.
And yeah, I was definitely only taking hosting costs into account, because every instance is maintained by volunteers. I was also only thinking about large instances that benefit from economies scale and smarter management.
I took a quick glance at that thread, will have a more thorough pass later.
with more than $1-2 per year. ;)
More than my own share for sure, regardless of the result of the other argument.
why don’t you wish that everyone did the same?
I do. But a paywall adds a considerable barrier to entry.
Well, at this point I would like to point out that I religiously avoid paying anything to hostile services, and that I do support the small independent instance I’m on.
Well, I guess it’s priorities. Destroying Big Tech would be pretty nice, but I’m really just here for the community.
Per user? There are instances running on like $10/mo virtual servers with maybe the same amount spent on storage.
I actually kind of enjoy the “scrappy diy effort niche” thing.
I think a dollar or two per year would suffice if all users paid it.
They absolutely shouldn’t be able to, but companies are constantly pushing the boundaries and seem to be getting away with their bullshit bullshit depressingly often.
I had low expectations before, but Starfield killed them completely. Starfield actually helped me get over worrying about TES6, because I just lost interest.
