Based Serious Sam 4 meme

Seems like I’ve entertained you enough on that front. And thanks for confirming what I said literally at the beginning lmfao.

Get blocked, and get fucked.

Based on what? You brought up stealing information like it’s a bad thing, I pointed out that information shouldn’t be legally restricted from use when it costs nothing to be used.

Artworks are not “information”, and you surely can access em, viewing and downloading and all.

You are telling me that I am not allowed to recreate them, unless I use the exact same specific tool that the original artist used

The idea was to “use the tools artists are using” but you managed to reinterpret it as “you can only use the one single tool the artist uses”. :V

I presume I’m also not allowed to take any art classes that the original artists wouldn’t have been exposed to either right? Why can’t I recreate the painting using chalk? Or ASCII art? Why do you get to decide how I can recreate it?

No one is saying thay you cannot recreate it, I’m just stating the matter of fact that you aren’t recreating anything when you enter a prompt on a text box.

You want to be treated like an artist and not a thief? Put in the effort. It is simple as that.

Same as every Photoshop and After Effects tool based on algorithms right?

Or more precisely, what’s different about being assisted by advanced computational photometry algorithms that you need a PhD to comprehend, and being assisted by advanced machine learning algorithms that you need a PhD to comprehend?

See above, entering prompt on a text box is NOT the same as using the tools given on a drawing/photo editing program.

Also there are lots of tutorials on how to use these so called “PhD requiring tools” out there lol. Once again, put in the effort.

And if I send that image to a friend and make them spill their lunch laughing, and then they don’t send it to anyone and that’s the end of its effect, what harm have I caused the world?

I’m sure we weren’t talking about private sharings before. Moving the goalposts much?

What if I don’t use AI but use photoshop and different digital tools and complex algorithms to make that meme? Why is that different from AI?

Simple, it is focusing on ONE specific artwork, instead of millions. Oh, and also it is more energy efficient.

Why should those artists be able to prevent me from recreating their art?

Information should not be hoarded, and capitalist systems of restrictions and ownership are the wrong way to manage it.

Lmfao no one is “hoarding” “information” in the case of drawings. You want to recreate their art so damn much? You absolutely can! Here is the actual tool you need to do so!

And btw, you aren’t “recreating” anything when you input a few words into your “eyy-ayy”. You aren’t spending any effort to do so, it is all computer’s doing. So you cannot claim it as “yours”. Full stop.

The fact that AI is exposing what a lie IP is, is not AI’s fault as a technology.

I’m sure these fanart makers that your “eyy-ayy” is so eager to steal from were really owning those IPs. So did those people who were drawing original stuff. Fair use is a myth, wake up sheeple!11!!! Lmfao.

Epic Crap Store having one less exclusive is always good to hear about.

Me when I steal from thousands of artists for anime ass looking eyy-ayy image I worked so hard to find the right prompt for (those capitalists were hoarding information and now I, clearly the good guy in this scenario, am freeing em)

It is so funny to see that AIBros are exactly like Creeptobros/NFTBros of their time. Saying that “you’re gonna miss out”, “you’re luddites” and all that jazz. So what’s next? They gonna tell me “have fun staying poor” too? Lmfao.

Just like the former, they are completely okay with stealing from others, cuz they are literally worthless without the data they have hoarded outta so many people.

They should keep going, so that more people will see them for what they truly are. :P

Its something happened waaay back during the technical preview days. Just like with this instance, the workaround was to rename the installer executable.

And I think you should update to OpenShell at least.

This looks promising. I always yearned for Foobar2000 to be on Linux natively.

However layout editor part is quite confusing (adding widgets seem to add them not where I want them at), and I couldn’t get it to play any music, as both drag and drop to a playlist and open file option in the menu causes the program to crash. Plugins didn’t load at all until I manually copied them to the places fooyin was looking for, though I wonder if this is an AUR package issue or not.

I’ll keep using DeaDBeeF despite some complaints I have with it for the time being, and will keep a close eye on this one.

Remember the days when Microsoft would block ClassicShell the same way they did StartAllBack here, on Win10?

Pepperridge farm remembers :V

The reason it is so shit is that because there is NO moderation whatsoever (nor there is any care for having it, as there wouldn’t be cases like someone that had done ban evasion twice still being active on the forums otherwise). And I think I can safely say that it is just like the same as other social media:

More heated and stupid arguments = more page clicks and views = more ad revenue (Michael definitely inserts some ads into the forums, like come on now)

I have absolutely no regrets using adblockers on there (or internet-wide), and Michael has the GALL to call his subscription service “Premium”… unbeknownst to him that a golden coated excrement is in the end… still a piece of excrement. :V

seen as a signal of independence from politics

Lol. Lmao even.

Of course, yet I still somehow suck at it :V

So people are catching up to the fact that the thing everyone loves to call “AI” is nothing more than just a phone autocorrect on steroids, as the pieces of electronics that can only execute a set of commands in order isn’t going to develop a consciousness like the term implies; and the very same Crypto/NFTbros have been moved onto it so that they can have some new thing to hype as well as in the case of the latter group, can continue stealing from artists?

Good.

Gabriel Ultrakill:

Np at all! Glad I could help!

If you’re using the proprietary drivers: Absolutely nothing will change for you.

If you’re using the Nouveau/NVK drivers: Soon the OpenGL driver will be entirely replaced by Zink, which implements OpenGL over Vulkan (think DXVK, but for OpenGL); as the aforementioned driver is in a quite broken state, and nothing short of a complete rewrite can “revive” it.

Sooo… if you’re already able to use NVK, you’ll keep using NVK, but this time you can utilise it for OpenGL applications as well.

Them going Ooblets-lite on their QA section makes me not wanna give it a shot, even with the Linux port.

This but P-1 isn’t P rank either

Sadly it cannot yet. The engine immediately crashes upon starting it up. Current focus is more on getting Unreal Tournament v436 and Unreal Gold v226 (and Deus Ex whenever it gets some attention) running.
