You insert it rectally and then honk, obviously.
The ship hasn’t sailed; the more countries you let do that, the more problematic the precedent becomes. This isn’t a binary thing.

How dare you!! Here’s why you need to be vegan right now by the way grumble grumble grumble
My point being I see no reason why Kickstarter can’t be for kickstarting the rapid scaling of a free, available-to-all project when it can be for rampant, unadulterated scams. This is easily within the spirit if not the letter of Kickstarter, unlike the scams which fit the letter but not the spirit.
That’s my point: Kickstarter and IndieGoGo is filled with extraordinarily obvious scams, yet this person’s trying to act like there’a some sanctity to the semantics rather than the spirit of them.
Yeah, no, not at all. I’d feel intensely uncomfortable using Sup for anything when something like Signal exists. The network effect issue is the exact same on both platforms, so why am I going to take the most trusted communication application and protocol in the world and choose Sup which is the work of a single dev with no obvious background in cybersec, let alone the kind of math necessary to properly understand encryption?
That toaster is what AI is. If it’s machine learning, it’s AI. If I make a toilet that uses a shitty-ass single-layer perceptron to decide when to flush, that’s an AI-powered toilet even if it’s a worthless piece of crap. You can be disenchanted with it as a gimmick all you want (I am too), but it falls under AI the same way it has since the 1950s. The marketing way of referring to things you just showed me entirely comports with the academic one provided what the label says is true.
Oh no, someone is tarnishing the sacred name of a kickstarter campaign by checks notes raising money to scale up a project that can benefit everyone (thus kickstarting the scaling effort) instead of selling a $250 plastic brick that generates far-infrared waves using no electricity in order to “stabilise” your car’s battery which you velcro the brick on top of (okay, that one was an IndieGoGo, but same difference).
What you’re saying expressly isn’t true. Academically, deep learning is considered a subset of machine learning is considered a subset of artificial intelligence.
Would you like the textbooks from 10 years ago on this exact subject that I’m referencing? The term AI hasn’t been co-opted; you might’ve simply been thinking of general artificial intelligence, because “pretty much any form of machine learning” has been called AI since the dawn of machine learning – because it is.
Word of mouth provided by pirates is still great for the AAA games industry, regardless of what they’ll tell you, and only helps perpetuate these bad practices you’re pirating to get away from. 99.9% of users are unwilling to pirate games, and thus when you reference them, say you played or enjoyed them, talk about pirating them, etc., it’s essentially just free advertising for those games to people who would in all likelihood just purchase them if they wanted them.
Meanwhile, playing indie games gives those devs some cash flow to keep developing and gives free, word of mouth advertising to other people through references, recommendations, etc. The more successful indie games with good practices are, the better the games industry as a whole. It’s not a zero-sum game, but there is some tradeoff involved.
Why pirate shitty AAA games when you can spend your time getting a better experience by supporting indie devs financially and in word of mouth?
“Here’s my angry, unpopular, barely coherent diatribe apropos of nothing about this large and diverse group of people definitely being angry and hostile.”
There isn’t a meaningful difference; gachas are just a subset of lootboxes, and anybody claiming otherwise is a player lying to themselves or is a game publisher defending themselves from these predatory practices.
Technology has slowed down, but there’s also diminishing returns for what you can do with a game’s graphics etc.
You can think of sampling audio. If I have a bit depth of 1, and I upgrade that to 16, it’s going to sound a hell of a lot more like an improvement than if I were to upgrade from 48 to 64.
“Greatest?” No. “Most popular for desktop users?” Yes.
The discoverers themselves refer to it as a backdoor, so frankly I don’t know what you’re on about accusing this article of misrepresenting their findings.
