There was a story about two teens in Germany recruited to a private discord through I think Roblox, a bellingcat podcast on use of games as recruitment mentioned it.
The act of helping in the game builds trust fast and speeds up the recruitment.
Luckily these two went to the police after the blackmail/encouragement/ conditioning escalated to performing real world violence.
How many others didn't? Or were pushed slower so they were more caught up?
Awful stuff. And we have the UK shutting down local biking forums and fedi servers to protect children.
It is bad. Host outside, have no one on staff from the uk.
If you want to try to comply there are resources around but it's a lot of paperwork
The draw from Skyrim and other ES games is wandering around and stumbling on cool stuff.
They both removed wandering by having you fly your ship to a planet, and removed the cool stuff by making the planets procgen.
It's good fun exploring the cities and space stations but then that's it. They designed out the entire game in favour of more procgen content.
I don't see how you can write the law such that it allows training ai on copyrighted data without making it possible to train a special llm on a single github instead of the entire universe, and essentially treat it as a full compression of the source.
Because once you can generate the GPL code from the lossy ai database trained on it the GPL protection is meaningless.
A different reason every day
If open source apps can't be copyrighted then the GPL is worthless and that will harm open source development much more
But Sam is talking about copyright and all your examples are patents
As a good virtue ethicist I walk away from the lever and live my virtuous life
Probably by trying to beat up Persians. Or some other city state. Or slaves. You know, virtuously
Aside from the unacceptable violence, the story here is far more complicated than that.
They were just impossible to work with.
I think PeopleMakeGames did a good YouTube video on it if you've not seen it.
But network rail don't run any trains
