But if you don’t pre-order, they might run out of digital copies! /s

I thought China already accomplished this last year?

Ah a cutscene. Let me put my controller down, grab my drink an-

“PUSH ‘A’, MOTHERFUCKER! DO IT NOW! DO IT! Aww, you fucked it up. Way to go idiot! Why did you think you could relax for even a moment?”

Sounds like you’d love and hate Phoenix Wright.

Let me give you a hypothetical that’s close to reality. Say an artist gets very popular, but doesn’t want their art used to teach AI. Let’s even say there’s even legislation that prevents all this artist’s work from being used in AI.

Now what if someone else hires a bunch of cheap human artists to produce works in a style similar to the original artist, and then uses those works to feed the AI model? Would that still be stolen art? And if so, why? And if not, what is this extra degree of separation changing? The original artist is still not getting paid and the AI is still producing works based on their style.

And what if the human running the AI likes one of these “mistakes” and tells the AI to run with it?

That episode was fantastic. This whole season has been amazing actually. SNW has been an huge breath of fresh air after decades of awful Trek’s (Abrams movies, Discovery, Picard).

They haven’t been afraid to explore heavy topics. The episodes have returned to mostly episodic, with some long term character growth thrown in. That has always been the formula Star Trek needs. An occasional big story arc can be good, but you can’t make that the entire show.

It honestly feels like the show has the potential to be up there with TNG or DS9. And unlike those two, it’s good episodes aren’t surrounded by bad or mediocre filler. I know some people are upset about the shorter seasons compared to other Trek shows, but if they manage to keep the quality consistently high, I don’t have any issue with it.

XBox and Playstation: Hyper-realism! Low latency, higher frame rate! Games for serious adult gamers! FPS and Hack&Slash are the best genres ever!

Nintendo: We make fun games for fun people. Give us your money.

If it was always going to happen, now isn’t really a bad time. Sure, a month ago would have been better, but people still haven’t been here that long. If I wind up needing to migrate, and lose my current account, oh well. No big loss. I imagine others feel similar.
