I see, that's fair.

I mean this respectfully, but that wasn't an actual answer.

The idea is that we automate everything and the more we do the more we pass that productivity/efficiency down to people via UBI/wellfare/less working hours and when we hit star trek levels people are free run in fields, paint or just goon all day if they want to.

But we're doing the opposite, creating bullshit jobs to keep busy and pretend capitalism is working while starving and driving to extinction everyone who is not significantly wealthy while elite brag about driving innovation and the future of mankind.

Out of legit curiosity, how many models do you know trained exclusively on public domain data, which are actually useful?

Because it's not about the kids.

The UK, or any government, could instead use the money for OSA to create a protocol/mandate that phone and net providers need to adhere to, which enables parents to restrict to adult content. Heck, phone-only sims and adult traffic control administered via "parent accounts" would deal with almost the entire problem seeing how most young people use phones for internet access anyways instead of laptops and desktops.

But it's not about the kids. It's about control and having an excuse to abolish privacy.

More options is always better. I may be wrong, but I would much rather use an SDK as-intended and fine tune my integration with an external dependency (FSR or otherwise) rather than to connect my software to a DLL, which I understand is more like a static, pre-built blob.

Upscaling and Framegen is a crutch unfortunately that enables studios to focus on "photorealism" that pushes sales instead of proper optimization and gameplay that many games care about. And I blame suits of course that make decisions not my fellow engineers who follow the company line.

I don't like that this is the state of game graphics either but I would much rather it be an open technology than a proprietary, vendor-lock, black box tech like nvidia tends to do.

really puts me off the idea of incest

... wha-?

I will be starting MCC Halo 3 soon, BUT I'm getting impression I will have to put a stop at some point.

Private platforms have every right to ban you, even if they just don't like you or your political beliefs. Censorship is mostly happening by the government and systematic media.

And that is why federated platforms are so important. If most people don't wanna see someone's bullshit they can ban him. And he has the right to run his own instance.

Note that I'm not defending Tate here. Many of his words and actions are actually harmful or hateful and he deserves to be arrested.

But there's a line between "illegal/harmful" and "unlikeable" which we need to remember.

Isn't that what's called Astroturfing? Been happening for years sadly, I'm sure of it.

Spamming, scams, and many forms of white collar crime are a result of people either getting desperate for a decent living or being greedy and wanting infinitely more than others have.

If you take out these two possibilities guess what gets almost entirely extinct.
