Everything increases GDP. Increase in the number of car accidents? GDP increases. Companies suing each other over stupid bullshit? GDP increases. Recovering from massive weather events that just destroyed half your city? GDP increases. Cleaning up that oil spill? GDP increases.

All those circular investments by "AI" companies? GDP increases.

It's a bullshit number/concept.

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.

(Their post.)
