SAG can try it's best to boycott or otherwise coerce the studios into not using AI, but it's not going anywhere and it's getting better fast. It's really just another tool that can be used to make movies and human-actors will still have a place. Of course, at the end of the day, this is all just entertainment and that's always been a cut-throat business anyway.

It's a beautiful game. It's turn-based as well, which is not at all like the prior two BGs or NWN or IWD. Those games you could pause, issue out some commands and unpause. BG3, entirely turn-based combat.

I'm not saying this to down it, just that it's definitely a more strategic game versus all the other ones.

Also, every single "teammate" you meet, will immediately start hitting on you, regardless of your Cha score or gender. I guess you have to be mean to the individual characters to get them to be less flirtatious . The whole sexualization portion of the game was really odd to me, to be honest. Still, very well made game.

Is your Google broken? The EFF has an entire tagged section on exactly that.

Since we all know you're not going to bother checking, I'll give the tl;dr: They're quite opposed to it.

Or a wallet.
Or a phone.
Or nothing at all.

Yeah, there are racists involved here, but they're blue, not black.

It's an "honest mistake" by the AI; it's gross negligence by the lawyer, for completely failing to do his actual job and confirm what his research tools spit out.

More to the point - "Hallucination" is an awful description and doesn't mean what most people think it does. If you force a human to answer a question regardless of certainty, you'd get the exact same behavior. High-confidence answers are easy; small medium-confidence details are likely to be in the ballpark but maybe a bit off; at the bottom of the barrel, however, you're going to get responses that amount to little more than works of plausible fiction.

I'm not saying this as an AI apologist, but this is a human problem. No human would read Harry Potter and think we could easily settle all court cases IRL with liberal use of veritaserum. For a lawyer to file a motion to do so means that lawyer needs a new and exciting career in fast food preparation.

A company openly engaging in extortion should have its charter revoked and its CEO behind bars.

If Buckmaster has proof of that exchange, the rest of this is all just a colorful backstory.

No. Natalie Portman naked and petrified you incessant newb.

I believe this is the point where the investors get told, "It's OK. We're gonna make it up in volume."

OpenAI was remotely watching his work as he used their tool, and when they determined his stuff was interesting, they grabbed it and published first. They basically piggybacked on the work of a mathematician, for 99 percent of a marathon, and then used their massive compute advantage to sprint the last 100 yards to take the first place medal. Absolutely. No. Surprise. Too bad for the guy - ouch hard life lesson.

Yes, but the models are getting smaller and better. If you have never played with local models, you just don't understand why Anthropic and co are worried. The local models are making big strides. Each year they get better and more efficient. I can't wait to see what I can run next year compared to what I can run today.

It's like Apple being mad a Microsoft for stealing "their" idea for the desktop even though Apple got it from Xerox. There's a great scene at the end of Pirates of Silicone Valley that sums that up nicely and more elegantly then I did.

Considering the output of these models can't be copyright, I don't see how they have any legal standing to say you can't use it how you see fit. People are even paying to get that output, so boo to anthropic for people using the output they paid for. That's more then anthropic did to get started.

If you have a 8gb nvidia card, you can educate yourself very easily on AI models. Here are a few links that talk about and explain some of this. It should be enough to get you started.

This last link is to a Dell computer that I thought would be pretty sweet if I was really into local AI a lot more. I mentioned it in couple other posts but here's the actual link.

Oh, and I was wrong on it's price. It's price range is about $5,400 to $8,200, depending on the how much storage you want. Given that Nvidia 5090 32gb graphics card alone will cost you around $6,700 off new egg. It's batshit stupid and it makes that Dell with 128gb unified memory look amazing when you realize what they does over the 32gb of vram the stand alone card.

Just depends on your use case, but I can't see many gamers spending $6,700 on a graphics card.

It's hard to get upset when China is stealing from a handful of companies that themselves stole stuff to get where they are today. Just makes them all look like deceitful assholes. There are no good guys here.

Thus if they don't care about the law, I don't care about the law. You don't get to break the law to build your business then turn around and tell everyone, "but you have to follow the law" Yeah, fuck you, I won't.

If they don't play by the rules, why should we? I say, distill away everyone. At the rate local models are coming along, we won't need these big companies anyway. You'll just run if off open source free as in beer software.
