sorry about the delay, apparently I’m only getting notified of new messages 10 hours later, even though I’ve been on since.

Valve’s reaction to this news in relation to Steam Machine: Fuck.

Granted that is millions of new potential steam game players.

The PS5 security keys got leaked, until they make a new hardware revision (can’t be fixed with software) every existing ps5 (and maybe pro) just became fully open.

The PS5 base security keys got leaked, it’s going to be a full fledge PC once the modders get to work. Might be the cheapest way to get ram now hah.

That is hilarious. At that point if I was annoyed enough, I’d do something like hang a picture in the house taking a dig at Wikipedia and then the interview could mention that and now it could be in the article about the house taking a dig at them.

So, not really.

Frozen 2 came out in 2019. 1.45b in 2019 is roughly 1.83 billion.

Records will always eventually be broken because of inflation as long as movies do well.

Do we need to do it in Zimbabwe dollars?

I wonder how that would go in court, I wonder if it’s been tried before? I could see an argument that if that was the intention and how they made money via gained followers, even indirectly, maybe it wouldn’t be fair use.

Edit: Like if they gain followers reposting grok modified images, and then they also show sponsored ads to their followers, now they are benefiting commercially by gaining followers via modified grok images. That might not be fair use, assuming the modified item was fair use to begin with otherwise.

May I introduce you to Fair Use Doctrine.

I wasn’t going to log in to verify either lol.

Even if that’s the case, it will come down to fair use policy which will allow quite a lot.

If the specific instance of sharing isn’t fair use and Twitter allows it, then sue them, someone will. Reddit for example though is just littered with modified images and they’ve been fine. Same with Lemmy.

Edit: If someone starts trying to make money off modified images via Grok, then that becomes a much easier case to win.

new tool could be used to modify others’ works without their consent.

This specific part is kinda stupid.

Nothing was ever preventing anyone from modifying an artists work. Its incredibly common. No one needs consent to modify anything.

To distrubute something that isn’t yours that doesn’t fall under fair use, absolutely. But modifying without consent is a joke.

Some people have relationships like that with their longtime family Dr, I never have though, nor do I even have one right now.

I think its worth pointing out that needing a vaccine is different than getting and benefiting from a vaccine.

Seasonal Flu and Covid vaccines are still beneficial, so while you don’t need any, if there is a way to beat the phobia, you can still benefit.

It’s not likely that anyone is going to offer you something like Xanax or Ativan for a yearly flu shot, but maybe your Dr would knowing your circumstances, and that could be a slow process to maybe beating it by getting some successful years behind you using that method?

I’ve had some really bad experiences in the past as well including passing out and nausea. Luckily at least for smaller needles like vaccines/dental work I no longer suffer from that. I still lay down if blood is being drawn.

It took a long time, but I think the dentist giving me some sedatives for the needles helped me get more comfortable with it since I knew they helped, and eventually, I was able to try without and it was hard but it did help, and it just got easier from there.

It still sucks, but it’s manageable now.

If you struggle at the dentist like I did, maybe that’s an option if you need work done and a path forward.

It’s a shame that’s not an option typically offered for other needles. I bet it could help people get vaccines if it was offered.

Give it another week and the ram for the steam machine will cost more than the whole steam machine the day it was announced.

Military is a good example.

First people who were gay were removed.

Then don’t ask don’t tell.

Then it was okay.

Now it’s not and they’re being removed and many outed themselves once it was okay.

One day, you’re not a terrorist. Then on Sept 22 2025 you are because you don’t support fascism.

Sometimes it’s explicitly called out for that reason ya. Can’t say all the time though.

But it’s my religious markings from my officially recognized religion/church.

Time to start wearing face paint / face tattoos that fuck with facial recognition.

when they have absolutely nothing to do with AI other than their poorly chosen marketing name

I worked somewhere once where they had an algorithm that placed items according to rules it was given, and it would output variations based on the rules to give the user some output options to work with. Think A or B could go here, and the different outcomes based on if you started with A or B.

It was pretty complex, but ultimately it was just a deterministic outcome of many possible deterministic outcomes based off the rules and what you started with.

They marketed that shit as AI.

It infuriated me.

No machine learning, no neural nets, no reinforcement learning, or learning of any kind, just placing things based off rules.

And don’t get me wrong, it was good, just not AI.

Hopefully there are people still working on non-llm type general AI, because i don’t think we’re ever going to get there with LLMs. The architecture just seems wrong to ever get there, and even Altman has said they probably can’t solve hallucinations. We can probably go very far down this road and get them pretty good, but it’s the wrong road if you want a real AI.
