So people are morons?

Serif (which owns Affinity) was just bought out by Canva, so it’s only a moment of time before they are enshittified unfortunately.

Nice list, definitely gonna download some of these demos.

The Alters looks really cool, and What the Car seems like a fun time.

Probably the ones outlined here, which you should be aware of, given there are statements from you included in the article: https://docs.beehaw.org/docs/important-questions-decisions-and-reflections/beehaw-lemmy-and-a-vision-of-the-fediverse/

They are probably using the default installed theme, which doesn’t have scalable icons so everything is horribly pixelated. Not sure why it’s still the default, but as you said it’s pretty easy to change.

Because YouTube and Twitch are notorious for reducing ad payments or demontising creators. Have you forgotten about the adpocalypse already? Patreon also increased their fees with very little notice in 2019.

It’d honestly be an idiotic move to not take a video sponsor if they’re offered, because that is guaranteed and likely upfront, supplemental income to support the creation of videos.

Nebula is collectively creator owned, so it’s the only one of those that won’t fuck over creators for more money, but as I said, not a lot of people are paying for subscriptions. It’s small, the per-creator payouts are probably even less than Youtube.

And finally, the real answer: Man’s gotta eat. Simple.

All of that considered, I didn’t even see the sponsor ads you’re complaining about because I have Sponsorblock skip them automatically.

Well you can watch it ad free on Nebula, as linked in the video description. I honestly can’t hate on him for that decision, he needs to eat as much as the rest of us, and unless we’re paying for a Nebula subscription, video sponsors are the only way to do that.

It’s naive to think AI is going to disrupt the status quo from the rich. It’s just going to make the rich richer. Just look at who owns the AI.

It’s not weird at all, he owns a car company.

It’s gonna get a lot worse before then.

Wow, thats a game changer.

Does it have a copy image to clipboard option?

By current legal definitions

Yeah, definitions that were written before this technology existed. I don’t base my opinions on what is legal, legality nothing more than rules determined by those in power.

Instead, I base them on what is ethical, and the consumption of material by LLMs and other AIs without the express permission of its creator is unethical.

An LLM isn’t human and shouldn’t be treated the same as a human. It’s as foolish as corporate personhood.

This technology takes human creativity and output to a whole new level,

No, it doesn’t. There’s nothing “human” or “creative” about the output of AI.

Bethesda can’t innovate.

Unless it is explicity specified in a contract, no you wouldn’t. Most people don’t.

Well that’s not how it works with AI generated text or images. OpenAI can’t copyright anything ChatGPT produces no more than anyone else can.

Are drugs made this way unpatentable, like AI generated images or text aren’t copyrightable?

I am aware of that, but those rules were written before technology like this was conceivable.
