Tja, deels eens. Maar ze is uiteindelijk in een zelfde soort positie als Rutte hiermee. Ze is uiteindelijk een diplomaat (en oud VN gezant voor het midden oosten en gaza), waar ze gestopt was omdat ze vanuit die functie er niet genoeg aan kon doen om vrede te bevorderen

Als Trump je de kans geeft om zijn kwaad te dempen, dan heb ik liever haar daar dan een of andere MAGA maloot die “platbombarderen” als enige optie aanraad.

Het ligt er allemaal een beetje aan of je gelooft of ze haar missie serieus neemt. Ze had ook kunnen wegstappen van de knoppen en het kwaad laten gebeuren zonder dat ze er deel van is, maar het lijkt er op dat ze probeert toch nog binnen dat kader het kwaad te verminderen.

Verraad vind ik daar een te sterk woord voor, militair ingrijpen om de VS en Israel dwingen te stoppen met hun genocide is niet bepaald praktisch ongeacht hoe moreel juist het zou zijn, zeker niet voor een alleenstaande diplomaat. Dus dan paden bewandelen die het kwaad verminderen zie ik zeker niet als dat kwaad helpen zonder concrete daden. Er waren in de tijd van de nazi’s ook saboteurs en dubbel agenten die voor de nazi’s werkten.

Realistically the artists working on it have a say into what graphics settings are allowed, and they already deal with the fact some people will need to run on very low settings, also affecting their ideal viewing conditions. If the newer DLSS really makes such sweeping changes they would either ask Nvidia for improvements, disable it, or heavily dissuade it.

But player autonomy is also important, so it’s a balancing act. If the players end up wanting it and you take it away from them, it still won’t make sense to strip it out at the end of the day.

This ten times. It’s why the online discourse around AI is often so one sided. Anyone walking into a room where people are all nodding along to the same shallow, unnuanced statements, and throwing stones at anyone that points that out or tries to share their own contradictory to the group’s experience, even doing so in complete good faith, isn’t going to engage for long. And so that discussion is never going to turn nuanced since all the people interested in that have been ousted.

And it sucks, because there are real harms in AI that must be guarded from for which we need widespread support. But the hostility and closed minded discussions just causes people to tune out and contrarily be more open minded towards AI as a response to the closed mindedness.

I’m kind of torn on this, because on the one side I can see the developer’s troubles. If they have 30 years of experience and they considered the impact of using it they will most likely know how to use it properly and ethically. Indeed many of the issues people have with AI are a kind of redirected anger, when really they are issues with capitalism, incompetency, or digital illiteracy. And the person posting the issue seems purely there to fan that flame rather than actually contribute. Something maintainers could use just as little as slop authored PRs.

But on the other hand, being open about the usage is a must. It’s the price to pay for going against the grain. If your ideals and means are pure, they should be defendable and scrutinizable to reasonable people, and there should be no issue with that in the long term. Hiding the usage will also make the good examples harder to point at, while it won’t stop the horde.

The thing is, many of these guidelines are related to finalized products fully created by AI. As in, the AI produced a written or drawn work at the end of it that on it’s own is the product (Eg. an article or an image). This will probably apply to code in some reasonable way, but at the end of the day there’s only so many ways to write code since it’s syntax and not as flexible language. It actually has to produce something that works.

If you were to compare code written by two people at two companies, doing a very similar project, you wouldn’t be surprised to find two pieces of code doing almost the same thing in the same syntax, barring naming changing. Neither will likely have violated the other’s copyright since simultaneous invention is a thing. And if they happened to have similar prior experiences, it’s even more likely.

Likewise, the way the code was incorporated into a project as a whole might constitute a human contribution sufficient, and perhaps even the more important contribution. You likely wouldn’t retain the copyright on the specific snippet, but rarely are small code snippets enough on their own to claim copyright over to begin with.

“Wow, don’t take things so seriously!”

It’s just an appeal to authority. There are plenty of silent majorities that are real, but often the arguments that built those silent majority are sound on their own and are much better to argue with, so there is no reason to point out a silent majority.

Like, not being a flat earther is a silent majority, because 99% of people don’t even think, talk or discuss such ideas, but you don’t need to rely on a silent majority to debunk it.

I mean, your post says “Forcing windows down Xbox gamers throats”. So people that are already in the locked down Xbox ecosystem, not people that already know that and avoid Xbox. Xbox is just Windows but locked down. It’s both Microsoft.

I completely agree people should just go for a PC, but if someone was buying Xbox already, they aren’t in the mindset. So if they’re going to buy Xbox anyways, having a device that’s not locked down to some console OS means they can switch at any time and rid themselves of Xbox, since it’s your device. To me that’s definitely an improvement over the status quo, even if other better options were already available.

The contracts for the Steam Machine were already locked in before RAM and GPU shortage even started, which means they will (like other consoles) be able to provide a reserved amount of devices at a fixed and lower price. But likewise, this also means that for any console that did not have contracts locked in before shit went down, will suffer massively from this. Thus looking at current prices for hardware isn’t indicative of how much prices will rise. Steam Machine could be the most affordable gaming device of the next decade.

But Valve also isn’t stupid. PC has the unique position where it has one of the longest backlogs of backwards compatible games and applications. Which means you don’t need top of the line hardware. People are still gaming on 10 year old PCs, so the hardware for those will be much more affordable and still be able to play most games. Especially indie games with their insane price to performance to quality ratios. If top line gaming on PC becomes economically unviable, it will simply move down a notch.

You realize PC != Windows, right? It’s Windows, Linux, Mac.

Windows might be the most used PC platform but game developer are well aware attaching their success to Windows is not the right move. And that’s exactly the kind of freedom PC gives that consoles do not.
