Putin orders conscription of 133,000 new soldiers to fight on the front line
  • I don't think you have an idea of how much of an information bubble Russia is in? In case you haven't noticed the "western" internet speaks almost universally English. Unless you're in some niche national community you're unlikely to see any other language. We're speaking English right now and that's not my first language. Last time I checked something like 1 in 20 Russians understand English and even less can actually speak it. The vast majority of the Russian population, despite having near full access to the internet, are locked in the Russian sphere of information. And their primary search tool, Yandex, is majority owned by the oligarchs.

    When you live in Russia you really have to go out of your way to escape the Russian propaganda. The vast majority of people in any country would never go to such lengths to get an broader view of a subject. Most probably wouldn't even understand they need a broader view than what their regular media feeds them.

  • Steven Spielberg is ‘a big PC Gamer’ — loves shooters, and insists on keyboard and mouse
  • For movement I would take something like a HOTAS over keyboard. For example in games with multiple movement speeds finding the right speed is rather cumbersome on keyboard because the key press is an on/off and not a scale.

    Similarly on keyboard movement is restricted to 8 directions. If you need to move in some other direction most people actually use a mouse to compensate for the lack of movement options because it's too cumbersome with a keyboard.

    There are benefits to using keyboards but there are places where you can use something better. Analogue input simply gives better movement options.

  • You’ve been a petulant child throughout this entire discussion- all because you don’t like my opinion.

    You got the amount of respect you showed. If I'm a "petulant child" it's because you were a "petulant child" before. And I didn't even know your opinion before you started chirping. This entire discussion exists solely because you don't like my opinion. You started this shit.

    Yet you have been free to walk away from it any time you wish. I even told you to take a hike a few times but you keep coming back to play the victim even further.

    You're the one who said goodbye and now keep coming back. Take your own advice moron.

    If you don’t like my words, don’t read them. Just like how I have all AI based bullshit communities filtered out so I don’t have to interact with it.

    If you don't like people talking back to you, don't start shit with people.

  • You really that oblivious to your own actions?

    • You butted yourself into this discussion by literally spamming me. Asshole behavior.
    • You then insulted me every chance you get. Asshole behavior.
    • You then act like I strawmanned your argument. Disrespectful behavior.
    • You literally said someone is not a musician if they're too lazy to play an instrument. Asshole behavior.
    • And your whole argument is about trying to dictate what is or isn't art which by nature is asshole behavior.

    Your decision to not argue with me has had no impact on you being an asshole, you were one before and you'll continue being one afterwards.

  • Artist is Suing Copyright Office For Refusing to Register His AI Image
  • What an asshole. You inserted yourself into this convo, in a fucking obnoxious way, insult me throughout and then you bitch out when you get called out. Yeah, fuck right off and don't bother me again unless you've got something actually worthwhile to say.

  • Artist is Suing Copyright Office For Refusing to Register His AI Image
  • I love how you strawman your own argument to pivot your point when you get called out. No I didn't consider only guitar, but I did the cut off point at electronic instruments like synthesizers, sequencers, samplers etc. because they often end up "hitting the spacebar to start the digital track". But you tell me, do you consider this music? because Aphex Twin was the first artist that came to my mind when you said what you said and he's pretty influential.

    Give it a rest man. You’re not an artist in my mind.

    I love how you think I'm defending myself here. I'm not an artist in my mind either, in fact I don't even do art. But unlike you I have enough respect for art to know that even if I personally don't enjoy something it doesn't stop it from being art.

  • Artist is Suing Copyright Office For Refusing to Register His AI Image
  • It takes zero art school knowledge to create art using AI.

    But it takes knowledge of art to know when a good image is generated vs any random image. The same way it takes knowledge of how to fertilize the soil, but it takes almost no farming knowledge to hop on a tractor and till the soil.

    What I’m doing is taking a huge shit on people who pretend to be artists by using AI. Actual artists won’t need to use AI because they have actual skill.

    Same with music. If you’re too fucking lazy to pick up a guitar and play- you’re not a musician.

    No, you're clearly taking a shit on all the artist, especially after that last point about music. You pretty much said some of the greatest and most influential artists in the last 50 years are not actually artists.

  • Artist is Suing Copyright Office For Refusing to Register His AI Image
  • Do you honestly think a farmer’s knowledge of crops, seasonal growth rates, harvesting times and techniques, using the right tools to promote growth, nitrogen/PH content of soil, and how to properly avoid blight is somehow the same thing as some kid knuckling a few adjectives into a computer and creating a pretty picture?

    That's all knowledge you need to produce crops and not fuck it up. By saying you can't "fuck up" AI art you're saying that the years of art school learning about composition and all other stuff is worthless because a talentless pleb like me has the same aristic vision as someone who spent their life studying art. Way to take a huge shit on all the artists.

  • Farmers aren't really farmers, the machine does most of the work. People who work in manufacturing aren't doing a real job, the assembly line does most of the work. Etc etc.

    So far all you've proven is that you're an asshole who takes things too far.

  • Stop Killing Games on track to not even reach the threshold to be brought up to the European Commission
  • There's also FAQ that on the initiative page but the video is more comprehensive (43 questions instead of the 17 on the site) because it's made after the initiative FAQ and goes more in-depth concerning the specific grievances people brought up. And I didn't expect anyone to listen to the whole video, the video is timestamped so you could find whatever specific grievance you might have.

  • 2024 is about 75% done. Let's recommend the best games of 2024, but with a twist: only the ones with no paid DLC!
  • I second Shadows of doubt. I haven't played the release version yet (I'm still building factories in Satisfactory) but I can give my most memorable detective work from early access. I was doing side jobs because my murder case had gone cold. I had a gig where I needed to find proof that the clients partner is having an affair. The information I got about the potential lover were some vague physical traits like eye color and shoe size. But the key information was that the lover's partner worked as Wait staff. So I

    1. went through every restaurant, bar, diner etc in the city.
    2. Got a list of every wait staff member.
    3. Found out where they live.
    4. Broke into their house.
    5. Found their partner information.
    6. Found the potential lover.
    7. Started looking for key evidence to tie them to the affair.

    The last step is where my gig ended up in a roadblock. I'm not 100% sure but I think it was bugged because I did everything I could come up with. I went through the clients partner personal stuff and found nothing. I went to their work and found nothing. I went through the lovers personal stuff and found nothing. I went to lovers work and found nothing. I even planted a tracker on both of them and followed them around to see if I missed something and I still found nothing. I even checked the mailboxes. So the key evidence was probably bugged and I couldn't find it.

    Despite that I haven't had such a unique experience in any other game. It's up there in my backlog waiting for me to return, but first the factory must grow.

  • PS5 Homescreen Now Replaces Unique Video Game Art With Annoying Ads You Can’t Turn Off
  • To be fair, Windows is getting worse every year as well and Linux isn't officially supported by most developers so you kinda need to compromise somewhere.

    I personally went with Linux because I got fed up with Windows bullshit and the games I can't play are mostly games I'm not really interested in playing in the first place.

  • Artist is Suing Copyright Office For Refusing to Register His AI Image
  • I think the statement “then photography took over” is doing a lot of work here. It’s incredibly inaccurate to say that photography took over as the primary means of visual creativity.

    I think my context there was pretty obvious so it's somewhat disingenuous to take it out of context. Photography has largely taken over portrait paintings. I think photography has also largely taken over scenic paintings. I never said it completely replaced painting, it became a tool in the hands of artists the same way AI art can become a tool.

    I think that most artists would still prefer to paint something that they can consider “their art”, over typing a sentence and getting back a result. Sure, it’s neat, but it will never be anything more than a novelty, or a shortcut to generic results. The process of creation is only really 50% the final result, and the process itself is an important aspect and not just a means to an end.

    And I think artist will use AI to come up ideas for their art and use the output as a canvas.

    Using AI just feels like a weird commodification of art - like using only pre-made Unity assets for a game and nothing else, and then having someone else make it for pennies.

    Because that's the current use of AI. It doesn't mean AI will stay this way.

    I’ve seen so many bizarre “AI artists” cropping up, especially online, who legitimately try to sell AI art online for hundreds of dollars.

    I'm not talking about those people and I've already mentioned elsewhere that their "work" can be considered questionable.

    I think the reasons people buy art can usually be put into three buckets: they appreciate the process that went behind it, they like the style of the artists or that painting in particular, or they find some meaning in it. If you wanted to buy AI art why not just prompt it yourself. What process, or artistic style, or meaning is even in AI art?

    Let's say the artist trains an AI model solely on their own previous art and then releases some of those AI generated images. The person who likes the style or a particular painting, do they care it was made by AI? Doubt it, because it's in the artists style. The person who appreciates the process that went behind it, is "I put my previous works into an AI model and the model generated this image based on what I imagined this image should be" really that much less impressive than "I imagined what this image should be and so I sat behind my drawing board and drew it"? As for meaning, the artist still chooses what to release. If they release something it must have a meaning. I think it would be extremely disrespectful towards an artist to claim the art they chose to release has no meaning.

    It’s not even like AI can be trained on an artist’s own works. It takes millions of samples to train AI, which a singular artist would never be able to produce. So, at some point, that model will have had to have stolen the content of its results from something.

    I thought we were talking about it from a philosophical point of view. I'm not about to predict the future and claim it could or couldn't be done, but let's say it could be done. Would that change your opinion?

    New mod, new winds

    Hello

    This community has been rather inactive for a long time and probably partly because the community creator and former mod was never active. There's also no strong CS community on lemmy so I decided to step up and hopefully shape this community into a healthy CS community, because I love CS and I don't want to go Reddit for my CS fix.

    Moving forward I will take a more active role in this community to post content for others to discuss. To focus the discussions I will start by creating megathreads for the bigger happenings in the community. For instance instead of having 20 posts about the HLTV top 20 players that will get little to no comments, I will create a HLTV top 20 megathread to get more a discussion going on.

    At least that's the plan, please do stick around and help me (by posting, commenting and upvoting) help you get this community up and running.
