Copyright violations ≠ conversion. Those are two completely different sets of laws. If you’re going to argue that legal definitions back you up, at least make sure you know what they are?

No, it’s a status symbol. iPhone users look down upon the green bubbles, or so they say.

LLM is a form of AI, specifically the text AIs like ChatGPT that have suddenly made “AI” a dinner table term. AI in some form or another is almost definitely being used in your device - even for things like filling in gaps in low-quality voice calls, and probably has been for a while. But the problem is that unlike those “old” AIs, LLMs require some significant power to run, so running them on phones will probably require meaningful trade-offs. But the increased security is also a meaningful benefit.

I think they mean gamesindustry.biz

Where did you read that? I can bet it wasn’t the TOS, because that’s not in there. The TOS allows Adobe to review anything you create with its products using manual or automated means, and maybe restricted to normal screening for CSAM and such (although it’s really ambiguous about what they’ll actually do with it).

ChatGPT makes you a 10x developer, so using it for one year is like ten years of experience ^/s

Indie studios do in fact exist. I haven’t bought a game from a major publisher since… uhh… well, I guess I bought Portal for $1 last year, does Valve still count as a major publisher?

As a former 4-Her myself, the 4-H extension office in our region is run by a state university, but the clubs themselves are community-organized. Also, many clubs in our area were general, so you could do any topic covered by the extension office and be a part of the club.

Modern drugs cost tens of millions of dollars to develop at a minimum, and can easily reach into the billions.

I’m not really convinced. I haven’t seen anything outside the capabilities of a talented individual, and such an exploit would be worth a lot of money, so the motivation is there.

It’s really not though? The Chinese government has a 1% stake in ByteDance. Meanwhile ~60% is foreign investors – believed to be mostly American.

Because it’s fake, it’s a joke about that GitHub troll a couple weeks ago

The difficulty of sending patches or reporting issues to the Linux kernel is a feature for them, as it keeps less-experienced devs from wasting maintainer’s time with garbage requests. For most projects it’s a bug.

This isn’t KYC, it’s “prove you’re a human”.

Then why are 2012 and 2016 included? It’s extremely confusing to have a line graph over time where intervals of time are missing, even if you clearly call attention to it, which they don’t here.

Likely only Reddit can say. I don’t think Reddit was ever trying to make money off Community Points directly (in contrast to their NFTs), but rather to boost engagement. Whether or not it did, and by enough to offset the costs of starting and maintaining the system, we’ll likely never know.

Make their birthday a magic number

It’s called the “US Patent and Trademark Office”, so they must be basically the same thing, right‽

R uses paste0() for some reason
