I can’t imagine who would hire him. He fucked Unity badly.

Or at least require a decent font.

Artists, construction workers, administrative clerks, police and video game developers all develop their neural networks in the same way, a method simulated by ANNs.

This is not, “foreign to most artists,” it’s just that most artists have no idea what the mechanism of learning is.

The method by which you provide input to the network for training isn’t the same thing as learning.

There are valid concerns with regard to bidet use. They do result in aerosolized particulates in greater number than results from wiping, which means you are literally breathing more feces.

Is it enough to be problematic? Probably not, but that may also depend on how aggressively/frequently you use them.

AI/LLMs can train on whatever they want but when then these LLMs are used for commercial reasons to make money, an argument can be made that the copyrighted material has been used in a money making endeavour.

And does this apply equally to all artists who have seen any of my work? Can I start charging all artists born after 1990, for training their neural networks on my work?

Learning is not and has never been considered a financial transaction.

As someone who has worked extensively with the homeless, I’ve seen quite a few examples of where supposedly anti-homeless takes have been attempts to inject more nuance into discussions than simply being pro- or anti-homeless, both of which are practically meaningless positions.

There are four stanzas to the Star Spangled Banner (the US national anthem) and what you typically here at sporting events is only the first.

Bonus fun fact, the fourth stanza contains the line that, in the 1860s became the shorter, “In God We Trust,” motto on coinage that eventually became the national motto of the US in the 1950s (which was also when it was added to paper money). That original line from the fourth stanza was, “And this be our motto - ‘In God is our trust.’”

I didn’t believe it so I looked it up… but Smithsonian says it’s even longer, 50 years!
