Nine Parchments - Top down Magic slinging romp. Similar to the Majica series, but with less knowing how to do certain key-press combos.

Orcs Must Die 2 - 3rd person tower defense where you place traps and use spells and weapons to take down foes. Continues the story of the first game, which did not have multiplayer, unfortunately.

Children of Morta - Top down dungeon crawler. Take on the roles of a family trying to hunt down an ancient evil. Like the Belmont’s of Castlevania fame.

While, yes it is not copy and paste in the literal sense, it does still have the capacity to outright copy the style of an artist’s work that was used to train it.

If teaching another artist’s work is already frowned upon when trying to pass the trace off as one’s own work, then there’s little difference when a computer does it more convincingly.

Maybe a bit off tangent here, since I’m not even sure if this is strictly possible, but if a generative system was only trained off of, say, only Picasso’s work, would you be able to pass the outputs off as Picasso pieces? Or would they be considered the work of the person writing a prompt or built the AI? What if the artist wasn’t Picasso but someone still alive, would they get a cut of the profits?

The art isn’t being made btw so much as being copy and pasted in a way that might convince you it was new.

Since the AI cannot create a new style or genre on its own, without source material that already exists to train it, and that source material is often scraped up off of databases, often against the will and intent of the original creators, it is seen as theft.

Especially if the artists were in no way compensated.

the government aims to ensure that financial advisers “give advice that’s prudent, that’s loyal, that doesn’t invite overcharges, and doesn’t involve lying to people,” said Timothy D.

Not just taking away power, this will literally get people killed.

Most of those regulations that are hurting his theoretical efficiency were written in blood.

Fractally weird. No matter how or where you look at them they are just as weird as any other bit of them.

My trackball mice have had parts deteriorate at around the two year mark before. After this one breaks, usually the scrollwheel or the left click key, I’m switching to an opensource trackball system.

Especially when one of the loudest religions actively want to doom the world so that their sky daddy can show everyone else how right they were this whole time…

What do you expect from a suicidal death cult.

More like a show based off of a random super-soldier script they bought that they slapped the Halo logo on and hoped nobody would notice.

In that area, the prairie dog colonies are rife with the plague.

The phrase itself doesn’t matter, they are just listening for some indication of human speech at the start of the call.

If nothing is said, then the system believes that it is a machine doing the same thing.

Provided, of course, that their spam system doesn’t just starts playing a recorded message anyway.

Iirc, that’s usually a sign that the robot caller has found a machine on the other end, since most people first respond with some sort of greeting right off the bat.

Yes.

A knight on each size moves to an open field and grow to be 2x their original size.

It’d be funny if the officer pulled up the sovcit site, take a single look at the lunacy, and then asked if the driver wanted to open up a fraud investigation for sale of his fake paperwork.

They’ve grown day and happy working their post-covid skeleton crews to the bone.

Why would they want to alleviate that by paying for additional salaries?

Whelp, I’d say we had a good run, but, well…

Shit.

All of that productivity and communication and they still used a bedsheet as the background…
