And you can absolutely trust that tons of executives will definitely not understand this distinction and will use AI even in areas where it's actively harmful.

Agreed. I keep waffling on my feelings about it. It definitely doesn't feel like our laws properly handle the scale that LLMs can take advantage of 'fair use'. It also feels like yet another way to centralize and consolidate wealth, this time not money, but rather art and literary wealth in the hands of a few.

I already see artists that used to get commissions now replaced by endless AI pictures generated via a Lora specifically aping their style. If it was a human copying you, they'd still be limited by the amount they could produce. But an AI can spit out millions of images all in the style you perfected. Which feels wrong.

Google says no, you don't need one.

Also no golden parachute to pay out

Feasible for a non-profit however

Both sides are twisting words. Pirating truly isn't stealing, but rather closer to unauthorized use. The word 'steal' is used because they want to imply that it's the same thing as taking a physical thing that can be lost. It engenders a certain feeling that they're wanting to invoke. Stealing sounds worse than unauthorized use. Doesn't mean it's not wrong to do, but it isn't the sort of wrong that they're implying.

Things I need a storefront/launcher to provide me:

  • Reviews
  • Wish list
  • Beta/Alternate build installations
  • Friend list, chat, game invite functions
  • Mod browser
  • Refund policy
  • Excellent search and discovery tools

Nice to have:

  • Forum for guides/support
  • Game sharing
  • Ability to move game files

If all you want is to launch a game, why keep the 'launcher' at all? Games used to just... start. No separate program needed.

I don't actively use it, but I don't see the point in deleting my account? My HOA is only on a Facebook group, so it's the only place I can go to check for updates on some stuff (typically trash day getting moved, neighborhood pool stuff, etc). That's the only use. My understanding is that Facebook tracks me even without an account so doesn't really seem like I'm gaining anything other than good feelings by deleting my account.

It's not like I've gone out of my way to delete my old Myspace or xanga accounts either, I just stop using them.

Famously the music for that famous 'you wouldn't download a car' anti piracy disclaimer was stolen and used without permission from the creator.

Some ideas are so bad you make sure they never get released

Nobody worshipping Satan is this crazy. This is definitely 'Ted is Jesus's cousin' sort of vibes
