I’m taking the bait.

The art he prompted was drawn from and trained by art that wasn’t his. The art was created by unsuspecting artists and then was blundered together like a frog until it created the image. He may have edited the image later on with a 3rd party program. But that’s still altering art built from an amalgamation of others art.

And this isn’t the same as line tracing or referencing other’s art because that still requires the user to put pen to paper and wholly create something by hand. Or hand to digital modeling software. Something that actually takes hours of work and concentration. Not coming back to your PC to change the wording in your prompt and then walk away for an hour or whatever while it blends stuff together for you.

If the original creator of the art work should get the copyright then the thousands of artists who drew the original training material should get those copyrights.

This is the same problem with AI in other fields. It’s drawn from the work of humans.

Moreover, I don’t want to remove the human element from art ever.

Systemic racism in the US ment an inproportionate number of drafted service personnel were black as white draftees were able to get college deferments in higher numbers.

This boiled back down to the poorer economic situation of black peoples in the Civil rights era fighting for basic equality.

The draft also caused friction that increased fraggings as this racist treatment by educated white officers or NCOs were dealt with locally. Fragging was furthered by a disconnect between draftees who wanted to just survive and glory hounds who saw military service and War as some great adventure.

Now if we could cleanse the junk and joke guides as well somehow…

Pirates kind of had a workers compensation program as I’ve been told.

Loss of certain body parts was payable with the amount varying by which part was affected.

The navy manual for troubleshooting equipment in the field includes “lift 3-6 inches and drop”

I think the difference is that helldivers 2 never required me to log into anything except my steam account to play until only recently.

Just be cause the game says it may require it, but it’s not enforces from day 1, doesn’t change that feeling of having the rug pulled.

People don’t have a problem with needing an account, they have a problem with suddenly needing to have an account if they purchased and played it without one.

I have many negative options of this show. Ultimately, while Lucy was…okay… Norm and chet had my favorite dynamic and didn’t act like complete morons most of the time.

They seemed to have set out with the intention of making the BoS a slapstick comedy rayher than a serious player consisting of intelligent humans. Especially Knight Titus and Maximus felt like horribly written characters.

I understand them going for humor but… I feel the slapstick nature of it really took away my enjoyment of it.

While fallout has had humor in it, I felt it was backseat to the actual atmosphere of its story of surviving the wasteland. In the series, slapstick seems to be all it is.

Also I don’t understand why they added the thing about ghouls.

Same, largely. I love the look and feel of everything but…

I dunno. I just struggle to remain engaged in it. And I can’t decide on a char build either for some reason.

My friend group all said they stopped at the part where you rescue a certain somebody from a BD den, too. Which they said it just felt meh.

I’m slowly trying to force myself through it.

Personally, I’d like to see a bit more adjustment in ship abilities.

It feels like they’ve got active abilities on every ship you have to press to get them using their full potential. Even if they have adjusted the length and timer of the cool down, It doesn’t feel very good to me that way.

Red alert 3 kinda killed me because every unit had an alternate mode or active ability I had to use and target on enemies. If you weren’t constantly toggling abilities on all units or making use of these targeted abilities you were going to get rolled.

I’m hoping we can move some of these abilities over into researchable passives. It feels like adding all these activatables is ment to increase the skill ceiling for competitive gaming, which I can also see how that may be beneficial.

I can see them replacing artists to Ai generate art assets like in-game posters, promotive material, concept art… AI will have its uses, but I see them using it to fire the low hanging fruit like artists.

One game already replaced the voice actors for AI except when they needed a character to grunt. It’s all downhill from here for a bit.

I get specifically pissed at all the AI generated answers.

When you call someone an NPC, my initial reaction is to respect you less and be more onguard to what other silly things you’re going to say.

You were doing great in the first paragraph, then shot yourself in the foot in the second.

I hate the “watch twitch for rewards!” ones. Because your twitch streamers may be playing content you haven’t gotten to yet. So you take the risk of putting it on in the background and hoping it still counts and the page hasn’t for some reason stopped counting your progress or risk checking it and maybe getting spoiled on something.

I’m hoping for hungryartists to show up.

Depending on how broad we are talking…

I’m Human Resources. Many would be glad we’re gone, but Human Resources are there to do many tasks people take for granted such as setting up benefits (retirement, health, life, etc), to vetting and hiring, and mediating between managers and employees. Often times, these require extensive knowledge on how to navigate labyrinthian laws that sometimes change regularly and less-than-friendly benefit companies.

More specifically, I’m a workers compensation specialist within HR. My job is being a subject matter expert and a liason between the employees and an underfunded, understaffed, stretched to the limits Workers Compensation program that is struggling under the weight of a massive worker population with little in funding being provided to it. I anticipate the needs of the work comp program to try to ease the burden of the workers falling into a denial-appeal cycle.

To be fair… society would march on without us. There’d be this horrible adjustment period for the workforce where managers who may be industry specialized (Like a manager of nurses isn’t really trained to handle most HR functions) have to pick up new skills. And for a while you’ll probably see a lot of people not being enrolled, disenrolled, tracked, vetted, etc as people figure it out.

Overall, you’d probably see a lot of unions/angry workers and it would probably hasten a long a massive amount of protests and strikes. Human Resources in the private sector acts like a buffer in some ways. Correcting issues individually before they become systemic.

Wait, wasn’t that wormtongue

Even if that was true, at least they make the effort.

Yesterday there was that article on here about the NLRB reviving rules in a huge win for unions by forcing recognition of unions if an employer fires unionizing employees prior to the vote by the employees.

That NLRB action wouldn’t have occurred under a conservative push.

When I’m in a discord channel and hear someone begin eating because they’re on voice activated…

Or they’re talking while also eating…

I feel the urge to strangle through my computer screen.

If I go 2 days without coffee, my head starts to kill me. Definitely an addiction.
