conciselyverbose

I support linking the original site as a general rule, but I don't think GamingOnLinux is blog spam. He curates information from a variety of places, provides a quick accessible summary, and very clearly links back to the article he's referencing.

In this specific case, his table of specs is far more readable and accessible than the obnoxious advertising product page is.

A. I don't actually feel bad for anyone because if you're involved in NFTs in any way, you're begging to be scammed. There is no legitimate use for NFTs.

B. This seems like blatant illegal fraud. You can't just advertise "get this cut of all transactions forever" to get people to join, then say "just kidding" once they include their "art" in your shitty scam. They're entitled to their shitty cut of your shitty transaction, and you can't hand wave it away by pointing to fine print when you sold the product very clearly making that claim.

"AI" isn't intelligent, but that has literally zero relevance.

Seeing copyrighted material and forming takeaways does not in any way resemble copyright infringement. It's not the fact that a human is doing so that matters. It's the fact that no sort of analysis constitutes copying or copyright infringement.

Electronic copies are copies. Copying the story is a copy. You need a license to copy someone's work. You unconditionally do not need a license to learn from it and use that knowledge for any purpose you wish. There are no laws that could possibly be interpreted to require this.

Derivative works are copies using substantial portions of someone else's original work. You need a license to adapt a book into a movie because you're copying their whole story, characters, etc. You don't need a license to tell a similar story from a similar idea because you are not. Literally everything that has been created in the past 10,000 years is built on the ideas of others. Everything is a derivative work if you think learning from an article is. You're allowed to summarize copyrighted material and present your own interpretation of it to others. You're allowed to do so commercially. It isn't copying.

The New York Times owns their articles. They own their specific packaging of the facts inside. They don't and unconditionally can't own the facts themselves. Nothing they own is being copied. Having files in memory is not copyright infringement. It's the literally guaranteed result of publishing anything digitally.

There is nothing that OpenAI is doing that any law in existence even loosely implies might need a license.

I could maybe see a memory issue leading to general instability like that.

Valve support has been really good, leaning towards very generous interpretation of the warranty from everything I've seen, so an issue on a brand new product should be resolved pretty easily.

You probably don't have to, but it might save you hassle to try reinstalling steam OS. This is the first guide I found if you have access to a Windows PC. If you have Linux/Mac I can find you the alternative way to write the USB if needed. Sometimes that will clean everything up, even on new units.

Fair use isn't relevant.

Copyright law does not prevent learning from copyrighted material. There is no potential infringement for fair use to be applied to. Nothing is being copied and shared.

If they're suing, they're doing it because they think they can manipulate a ruling that does not in any way follow the law and because the benefit if they can do so is huge, not because any intelligent rational human being can read the law and possibly interpret anything as infringement. It's not ambiguous in any way. There can't be infringement if you don't distribute someone else's work.

Neither are infringement. Artists attempting to bully platforms into not training on them doesn't change the fact that training on information would be black and white fair use if it didn't have absolutely nothing in common with copyright infringement. Learning from copyrighted material is not distributing it.

If the court doesn't just ignore the law, which has nothing that could theoretically be interpreted to support the idea that training is infringement in any way, this case will be the precedent that sets AI training free.

And you, as an individual, should want that. Breaking the ability to learn from prior art is still literally guaranteed to disenfranchise the overwhelming majority of creators in all formats, because there are massive IP holders who have the data sets to build generative AI and produce unlimited "free" content, while no individual will be able to do the same because they'll have nothing to train on. If you think Disney has a monopoly now, wait until they can train AI on 100 years of 95% of TV and movies and no one else can make AI.

I like the look of this. Is there any way to control it through your phone (eg through a locally hosted server and a QR code to connect to the page) or an easy way to hook in and send the control signals so I could make crappy version of a page myself?

Did you purchase on steam or somewhere else? The people I've seen reporting issues bought it via GOG for the most part.

It works basically correctly for me. Performance isn't great. I did have issues right after launch that were resolved with the developer>remove proton files (I think?) option and restarting the install process.

That's why I mentioned languages, too. I'm not saying that it's bad that more people can access it in their native language, just that a lot of games include it by default when they're not going to be used.

It's possible BG3 is an exception, but a lot of publishers pretty clearly just don't care how much space they take up (and I kind of think a few of the GAAS nonsense see more space as a positive so they can monopolize users's time even more by limiting the number of other games they have). I really wish that Valve had pushed for an alternative "trim the fat" branch that defaulted to less, less heavy assets and let you choose what else you needed for Steam Deck verification (over, say 10 GB, so you only really needed to do it for modernish AAA type games). I think it could have made a difference because the cost isn't high to do.

Yeah you can get SATA m.2 drives.

It genuinely doesn't take meaningful work.

They already do all the relevant categorization for what can get loaded when with graphics settings and presets. It's basically flipping a switch.
