Of your 3 first examples, 2 are terrible and the other is forgetful, while all of them are good movies, they're terrible sequels. I have seen Predator 2, but all I remember is that it's set in a city; Aliens is clearly a cash grab that undermines the first movie, it switched from Terror to Action, and it's essentially the same reason that Colonial Marines is worse than Isolation; Terminator 2 is my personal pet peeve, because it completely destroys the first movie plot. How does time work in Terminator? Easy, it's cyclical, meaning you can't change the past. But Terminator 2 introduces the concept that the past can be changed, but if the past can be changed then there is an original timeline without any time travel, and if that's the case John doesn't exist there, and if he doesn't exist the terminator doesn't go back and Reese doesn't go after him and John is never born. The only way Terminator makes sense is if Reese always went back, which means the past can't be changed.
The quote needs a bit of context, to get the full weight, but essentially when asked what to do with his body after his death, Diogenes would reply with statements like "throw me in the forest without a burial". People would be agast and ask him about vultures, wolves and other animals that might eat him, so he would say Just give me a stick to chase them away which is the quote I wanted.
Quick correction, Castilian and Spanish are he same thing. It's not an old dialect or an old language. Spain has lots of languages, and the renaming of Castilian to Spanish was a "recent" (last 100 years) attempt from a dictator to delegitimize all of the other languages (also prohibiting them from being taught in schools or being used officially).
Also I strongly dislike the use of dialects here, although there are many different accents the language remains the same. If we start to call Mexican or Argentinians Spanish into dialects we might as well call Texan or Californian English as dialects as well, since they're equally different.
Also, also, Mexico (the largest Spanish speaking country by population is in North America), not sure why you only mentioned South and Central.
That being said, yes, the Faun speaks very formally. It's not necessarily archaic, but the sort of language one might expect in a court room. But yeah, that used to be the colloquial Spanish a while back.
Then there's nothing I can tell you. You haven't even finished the game tutorial. I just found a video on YouTube of someone playing, the tutorial is around 20 minutes, after that you get into the game proper, once you get to the ship that's when the game starts.
It does, it's not a very large spoiler, so if you want to I can let you know. But without spoiling anything, I can tell you it's very close to what you're describing.
Obvious spoilers for people who're still playing, but: Push through what exactly? Have you gotten to the main game loop? Do you know what's the mechanic I'm hinting at on my original answer? Does 22minutes mean anything to you?
I'm going to assume yes (if not, push through until this makes sense). Now you have a whole solar system to explore. One thing that I didn't noticed at the beginning and made me frustrated, there's a computer on your ship, you have log entries there, sometimes reading those logs might give you a push onto what to explore next. That being said, this game is all about exploration, every planet has interesting things to explore, I'm not going to spoil too much, but it's all about exploring and figuring out stuff, if you're getting bored you don't know what to do, if you're getting frustrated you might be trying to solve a problem without all of the puzzle pieces, go out, explotó other places and you might find something that helps you.
There's a game where the best way to experience it is to go blind and discover everything, I think you might enjoy it, it's called Outer Wilds, and it's one of the best games I've ever played.
No, you are changing the rules: it is not my credit card number, it is a mathematical representation. It isnt my art, it is a conglomeration of all art.
Again, the credit card number was to show you that both the math is math and the information is free are terrible arguments, which you clearly understood despite trying to avoid accepting it.
I am 100 percent behind the idea that if you make a drawing, it is yours. Not mine. But if I sketch a similar one based on yours because I saw it, this new result is mine.
Let me introduce you to a new word plagiarism, copying someone else's art is not acceptable.
The information is free, the original is also intact.
Again, give me your credit card number, if information is free you should have no issue with this. But you do, because you clearly recognize that information can have value.
Also, a AI made art is not going to stop someone from buying from some one else.
Except it does, go chat with any artist out there and you will be told how their commission work dropped, how they were fired, and even if they themselves were not affected they certainly know someone who has.
I buy from artists I know that have something so say. A different artist AI or not has no influence on my purchase from the ones I like.
You are you, but someone writing a book and in need of a cover, someone wanting concept art for a game, someone with a YouTube channel in need of a logo/avatar, or many other examples don't care about what the artist have to say, they just need a piece of art to be a part of the thing they're trying to sell. Artists can't live by selling art to the random person who might like what they have to say, the vast majority of artists make a living doing commission work or hired at a company to produce art for them. Now the art that these people have produced has been misappropriated and used in ways which they gave no consent for, and that way is making them lose on jobs and affecting their livelihood.
You're either a troll or just plain stupid, regardless it's clear to me that it's pointless keeping this up. We've gone in circles around everything, you claim information should be free but refuse to give away your information, that math is math but refuse to tell me numbers that have meaning to you, that digital artists are not artists but refuse to elaborate. You clearly don't know any artist in real life, but I hope whatever it is you do for a living is the next thing LLMs starts to imitate, maybe then you will understand that the society we live in doesn't care about the quality of the thing, but rather the cost and speed.
The credit card was to make you understand that even though no one owns math that doesn't mean that all information should be free. You're refusing to tell me your credit card numbers or even what you do for a living, this proving that you're either a hypocrite or don't truly believe that ALL information should be free.
Someone paying for art from someone who's not an artist is definitely a loss for the artist who would have gotten hired instead. The fact that you're even refusing to acknowledge this simple fact proves just how up your own ass you are.
Then don't commission digital art, completely your prerogative, but the artist that does digital art is an artist, the person prompting an LLM is not. If you use digital art to make a profit you should have the rights for it, and a person who prompted an LLM can't because they don't own the training data, nor any derivation from it.
For the music, go and record chunks from several different music to see if you won't get the same result, which is essentially what an LLM is doing with other people's art.
If someone grabbed the numbers of your credit card and used it to buy stuff, would you report it stolen? Or you would think that since you still have your card nothing got stolen? Same thing here.
And when did we mention anything about person B? Where is this person? How does this affect them in any way?
Pay attention, person B is the artist who's not getting hired/commissioned and/or whose data was used to generate the image. Which is why I said I have no issue with personal use, the artist wouldn't have gotten hired to draw an artifact that I will show for 5 seconds to my RPG players, no harm no foul. However if I was running the game on YouTube, or otherwise earning money from it then I should pay for it or not use it.
When I learned to play guitar did I steal the chords? I certainly learned to play other peoples songs, did I steal those too? I am now influenced by those songs, did I suddenly take away someones livelyhood?
If you recorded and sold those songs you would have quickly found out that there are copyrighted. This is the same case, we're talking about someone profiting from it, not using for personal use.
In any case, so if I understand your argument: if the data was trained on publicly available data, you wouldn't care.
If it was trained using data that the creators gave explicit permission for it to be used in that way then no, I wouldn't have any issue with it. But publicly available data to view does not equate publicly available data to train a model, same as it wouldn't allow you to print it and sell copies. Displaying something publicly doesn't give you ownership of it.
Like I said many times, the training data is stolen, if someone stole your personal data and impersonates you they're committing an immoral act, this is exactly the same thing. Person A does the immoral act of using stolen data from person B to generate images directly harming person's B livelihood, the fact that a person C is willing to pay for it is completely pointless.
You really are bad at making arguments.
No, you're really bad at understanding them. You yourself made the argument that math is math and can't be owned nor stolen, by that standard numbers are numbers and can't be owned or stolen either. Stop to think things through before making blanket statements.
Regardless of the immoral act, your argument is wrong. A third party willing to pay has no bearing on the morality of an act, doesn't matter how much you try to escape this.
You didn't replied what you do for a living, I'm sure you didn't because you know that there's a very high chance I can show you you don't truly believe that all knowledge must be free. Let me ask you other question then, what's your credit card numbers, expiration date and code, it's just numbers, by your own logic you shouldn't have any claim to own them, therefore you should be okay to share them. The fact that you won't is proof you understand that even if numbers can't be owned, the information numbers convey is a different story.
And no, the companies are not claiming to own math, but to own the algorithm, the math on which those are based is (in general) public knowledge, and even in the cases where it's not, like you said, math is math, others might have discovered it individually. Multiple of those companies might be using the same math independently without realizing it.
I don't consider jaywalking immoral, so no, not the same.
Regardless of the seriousness of the immoral act, my point is the same, person A's immoral act that affects person B doesn't become OK because person C is willing to pay for it. Which is your argument, I'm pointing out how ridiculous an argument it is by using something you should easily consider immoral, and not in any way suggesting that generating images for profit should be penalized in the same manner or that is equally immoral, just that your logic does not apply to immoral acts.
I strongly suspect you do believe that in the world we live in ideas can be owned, let me ask you, what do you do for a living? Because if ideas can't be owned, intellectual work shouldn't be remunerated, as you can simply grab whatever is produced without paying the person and it wouldn't be theft.
Yes, math is math, no one is claiming to own the math behind LLMs, but that math is applied to training data that does have an owner. You might as well claim you didn't kill the person you shot, physics and biology did. The immoral act is the stealing of the training data, and any byproduct of that is fruit of the poisoned tree.
It's the same argument you're making, that morality doesn't matter as long as there are paying customers, if morality doesn't matter because there are paying customers for AI stolen art, why does it matter for child pornography? Either morality matters or it doesn't.
I mean, calories in/out is real, you can't get fat if you're eating less than what you're spending. On the other hand you definitely can thin up eating more calories than you spend by for example going into ketosis where calories don't matter all that much.
All of that being said, calories in/out is not the whole picture, like you mentioned there are plenty of other stuff that might make it so that two people eating the same and exercising the same amount get drastically opposite results. At the end of the day our bodies have a calorie budget they're trying to stick to, eating less (or actually eating better) is the solution, exercising helps but not in increasing your calorie budget, only in directing your budget to be more healthy.
Don't mix up optimistic nihilism with moral wrongness, you can be "nothing matters let's have a good time" while at the same time wanting everyone else to also have a good time.
Of your 3 first examples, 2 are terrible and the other is forgetful, while all of them are good movies, they're terrible sequels. I have seen Predator 2, but all I remember is that it's set in a city; Aliens is clearly a cash grab that undermines the first movie, it switched from Terror to Action, and it's essentially the same reason that Colonial Marines is worse than Isolation; Terminator 2 is my personal pet peeve, because it completely destroys the first movie plot. How does time work in Terminator? Easy, it's cyclical, meaning you can't change the past. But Terminator 2 introduces the concept that the past can be changed, but if the past can be changed then there is an original timeline without any time travel, and if that's the case John doesn't exist there, and if he doesn't exist the terminator doesn't go back and Reese doesn't go after him and John is never born. The only way Terminator makes sense is if Reese always went back, which means the past can't be changed.
