I totally agree. However, when looking at the bigger picture I think Microsoft wouldn’t want to be so dependend on Epic after spending so much money on their game service, Bethesda and Activision/Blizzard. I don’t expect them to actively consider switching engines and I don’t think it would solve all that many problems anyway.

On top of all of this, those efforts to tame and control outputs from the developer side could be abused to simply appease investors or totalitarian markets. So we might see a Disneyfication like we‘re seeing on other platforms like Youtube with their horrendous filters, spawning ridiculous terms like „unlifed“. And just imagine the level of censorship we‘d see if they ever try to get into the Chinese market because clearly, the ‚non‘ in non-profit is becoming more and more silent.

I think you misunderstand something. The same thing many AI enthusiasts and critics often choose to not understand. Regenerative AIs aren‘t just born from plain code and they don’t just imitate. They use a ton of data as reference points. It’s literally in the name of the technology.

You could claim „well maybe they used different voices and mixed them together“ but that is highly unlikely, given how much of a wild west approach most regenerative AI services have. it‘s more likely they used protected property here in a way it was not intended to be used. In which case SJ does indeed have a legal case here.

The creators are known to lean towards tankie rhetotic and I‘ve read they chose .ml because of Marx and Lenin before. That rose concerns from the beginning so it‘s hardly surprising a moderator there would do this. It is very concerning nonetheless and threatens to throw the creators‘ work into jeopardy because at that point you might as well use twixxer or whatever it‘s called now.

That is fair and I don‘t even agree with all of his conclusions there, but the arguments and evidence he brings forward are helpful enough to draw own conclusions and the comments help a lot as swell. I personally think the little SpaceX criticism he sprinkled into the video are spot on as well, but that might not be the case with other videos of his. It‘s definitely Elon‘s company with the least bs when it comes to delivering. So I can see how one could falsely predict failures there and be surprised later.

Pretty much the entire Autism community dismisses him because it’s ridiculous and he’s using it as an excuse to be, well, freaking evil. He knew people woul eat up that crap and they did. He can say he diagnosed himself all he wants, I see it for what it is: Just another of his countless lies.

You were the one who brought up your brother, compared him to Elon Musk and say how his Autism was so bad for you. And depressingly enough the first response you got was the classic: “Oh autists hide behind their diagnoses and that’s so messed up” rhetoric that makes it even harder for neurodervse people to simply, well, exist.

If I may forward you to this video which did a decent enough job at exposing Elon’s claims regarding Aspergers as very questionable to say the least. It’s not 100% spot on, but we’re dealing with Elon Musk here. He contradicts himself so often you’re bound to slip at some point when trying to analyse him. There are, however, some helpful additions in the comments from people with own experiences, that give some more context on what High functioning Autism really means.

Let me also remind you that a hand full of traits, however pronounced they may be, isn’t nearly enough to even suggest a diagnosis. There’s dozens of common traits of high functioning Autism. So inevitably most people will meet some criterias. What’s more important is what boxes they don’t check and that’s a very long list for Elon. And I’m the last person to try to seriously diagnose Elon, but Aspergers isn’t it, chief.

I don’t diagnose people based on what I read in the news.

Where did you get the idea that Elon has autism then? Judging from your comment, diagnosing people by what the news say is quite literally what you do.

Go ahead and try living a year with him

Oh please stop playing victim.

Lol, look at you Mr. Armchair psychologist

Likewise.

Interesting anecdote but Elon doesn‘t even have autism. He only claimed it once for buzz years ago. And if you really dived into the topic just once you‘d realise he evidently doesn‘t check nearly enough boxes to even be considered neurodiverse. Of course he never showed an official diagnose either. I‘m pretty tired of this narrative. This fuels ableism by strongly misrepresenting a minority. Reading your comment, I actually wonder what the other side of the story about your brother looks like.

Besides, all that Russian propaganda of „German energy policies bad“ has done nothing but spreading discord and allowing France to fuel their economy with ukrainan blood because „French energy policies are so based!!1“. Their nuclear power plants are already failing left and right due to low water levels and they want to build more as if this situation won’t get worse year by year. What’s the point of emission free power plants when they just stand around for lack of cooling water? All the while their gas imports from Russia explode to new heights, fueling Putin‘s war machine.
