The paper this article is based on is from 2009. I'd argue that's against rule 5.

I think it’s important to make note of the fact that they were banned on Reddit for good reason

Reddit is an echo chamber. Being banned there is not indicative of anything.

Are most ignoring the numerous examples of Reddit subs users inferred “likely won’t be a big deal” becoming obviously problematic down the line, with the inevitable ban/quarantine occuring with most upset it wasn’t dealt with from the start?

You've just explained how Reddit became an echo chamber which is the same road lemmy.world is taking.

we don’t know that denuvo ACTUALLY impacts sale numbers by convincing those mean old pirates to buy their game

But we do know it improves sales, that's why every game publisher that can afford it is using it. They have years of data to prove it. What do you have?

Have you ever used cheats on single player games when that was still a thing developers put in games? I did, it was fun. That's why.

Reddit mods should be renamed spez's bitches.

I remember a similar case regarding Windows shipping with IE. Whatever happened with that?

Do you have an example of a technology that is more efficient than human labor, doesn't have those side effects and was successfully held back just to keep jobs?

I like being able to say what I want without being banned by a power-tripping mod

There's currently nothing stopping a mod from creating a bot that deletes comments below certain threshold or that bans users for commenting on communities they don't approve like they did on Reddit. Only site policies can prevent that.

I tried it on these platforms:

• Twitter: it works
• Mastodon: it works
• tumblr: it works
• Reddit: it doesn't loop, video must be at least 2 seconds in length, not allowed in comments
• Discord: not autoplay, no loop
• Lemmy: no video hosting

The union negotiations could include in the contract that AI generated actors are not allowed when SAG is involved.

Ok, but if they want to ban all forms of AI then we are no longer just talking about the morally reprehensible example of a studio buying an actor's likeness in perpetuity. They want AI gone even when it's used in a more sensible way which is understandable from their point of view but less so for the rest of us.

They want to pay for an actor’s likeness once then own it for a lifetime.

But isn't trying to forbid those kind of deals doomed to fail? What if the digital actor doesn't look like anybody? What if they scan actors from other countries?

I'm not arguing about the benefits of unionization, my question was about what happens when a machine becomes more efficient than a human worker. Do you think a union could have saved the switchboard operators? How is it any different from this scenario?
