Is that the stink of microtransactions and datamined personal information??
The only way I can see MS making money on this is to introduce microtransactions in one form or another.
Of course, there is also the little thing of getting players to sign up to MS to play CoD on the cheap.
Here is a significant difference, to me and Mozart both: an AI will remember every song it has learned (albeit in a statistical form), and it will know millions and millions of songs that it can draw on.
There are savants that can remember every piece of music verbatim, something an AI can't since it only has a statistical model of what notes usually come in what order.
The interesting thing about statistics is that it's data and data are considered "discoverable facts" which can never be "original works" or copyrightable (although how you format and present them can be copyrightable).
And that leads to a possible legal conclusion many think is correct, deriving data from copyrighted works isn't infringement.
In the end, I think the whole thing will be decided by the interests that has the deepest pockets, not the creators.
I'll point out that the West has never had a commitment to a single moral narrative but there has been times when some narratives was in the majority.
And moral narratives can be objectively evil when you look at them from the outside, to wit: slavery, witch-hunts, lobotomizing of undesirables, taking land/resources from natives and more - all considered morally correct within the society practicing those things.
The simplest definition of evil I know of, that also have a ton of caveats, is this: Intentionally harming others, directly or indirectly through action or inaction.
The primary caveat is that not everyone will agree on what harm is, which means we are back at square one for defining evil in absolute terms.
You haven't thought this through, have you?
Why is my site dedicated to fluffy cats full of gun-nuts and why am I not allowed to remove their posts about the best ammo to kill stray cats with?
Define evil material in absolute terms that everyone can agree on.
So a law that decides how speech must be moderated, plus it limits the speech of a service provider.
Seems a bit unconstitutional to me.
If you want to propose a law it can't dictate how to moderate speech, what can be said or who can associate with who, because that goes against the first amendment.
So you want a law that dictates what can be said where?
Ever heard of the first amendment?
At best, the intent of hate speech is to marginalize and silence others, at worst it's about permanently silencing others.
Free speech has no room for hate speech because allowing hate speech to flourish means many will avoid speaking up since they feel intimidated.
There's a reason that Poppers paradox was written in 1945 which it says "unlimited tolerance must lead to the disappearance of tolerance... We must therefore claim, in the name of tolerance, the right not to tolerate intolerance".
It's the same with free speech and hate speech, either you support freedom of speech without accepting hate speech, or you support the idea that it's okay to silence others through hate speech and intimidation.
Anyone has the right to speak their mind but they can't force themselves and their speech on other people.
Do you really think that all personal information collected are from services that have an EULA/TOS a consumer must agree to? That's a bit naÃve thinking.
Why stop there? Do it for every company collecting personal information that sells it on or transfers it to other companies.
Ron DeSantis said in 2021 that Social media platforms have morphed into the town square, this when he signed the "stop the censorship" bill.
Does this new bill then mean that there's an age-limit on town squares?
No, hacking someone's computer directly means that they hacked the computer [i]first[/i] to get access to the apex binary which they claim they didn't.
If we take their claim at face value, that they hacked the running apex-binary, one likely vector for that could be an unknown vulnerability in the spectator mode or in the chat for example.
I can get to all the settings in Win 10 by clicking one icon.
It's easy and anyone can set it up in 30 seconds. Create a new folder on your desktop and name it: GodMode.{ED7BA470-8E54-465E-825C-99712043E01C}
That'll create a shortcut that list ALL settings in one window.
Enjoy!
But these days, converting from AC to DC and back can be done much more efficiently than even a few decades ago. It's still complicated and a pain in the ass, but for long distances DC is more efficient. AC introduces skin effect, along with higher peak voltages and currents for a given amount of power delivered.
Plus, you don't have to deal with propagating skewed power-factors taking up capacity in the grid.
Everything should be made as simple as possible, but not simpler. -- Albert Einstein
