Comment Does Firefox sell your personal data? (Score 4, Informative) 142

They explicitly removed this:

Does Firefox sell your personal data?

Nope. Never have, never will. And we protect you from many of the advertisers who do. Firefox products are designed to protect your privacy. That’s a promise.

So regardless of the legalese & its interpretation, this kinda sums up what they want to do...

Citation?

This is from Wikipedia:

The film began as a 45-minute 16mm student project with a final budget of six thousand dollars.

which references 2 books.

I think it's just poorly worded in the article. They "created a spaceship tale for a graduation project", and it was "[m]ade for $60,000 by film school students", but these are not the same film. The student film cost $6k, the publicly released one was $60k.

Comment What exactly is "AI Tech" and "AI Tools"? (Score 2) 27

Valve aren't defining "AI technology" (at least in their post), so it could be almost anything. I suspect they may be targetting the "Generative AI" fad, but they don't say so directly.

Any kind of content (art/code/sound/etc) created with the help of AI tools during development.

That's almost everything these days depending on how you define it.

Without knowing what kind of AI & the scope, the disclosure seems mostly useless.

Comment Don't need "AI" (Score 5, Interesting) 120

The company I worked for in the mid-to-late 90s was doing source-to-source transformation of COBOL which retained the semantics (mainly COBOL I and II to COBOL 370, but there were some COBOL to Java experiments as well). In fact we licensed these tools to IBM at the time.

You don't need "AI" to do this, you just need proper semantic tools.
