Extra named NPCs was what I was hoping for. I understand why they didn’t because it would of been a huge change and I’m sure some of the fan base would have been very vocal about it.

I would have loved if they shipped it with mod support and maybe a oblivion+ version with official mods built by their teams like added npcs and other extras.

I played oblivion when it first came out but I put a lot more hours in to skyrim. I do think they could have improved the game a bit more. I’ve only been in the capital yet but it felt brutally empty, with all the npcs having the same path/walking speed and so few of them.

I think a bit of decorations and a few new npcs would have gone a long way. I wished they would have worked on the AI a bit more. Taverns don’t have bards and little ambiance, walking into one is disappointing and ends up with all the npcs in a clump moving at a snails pace because all their walking paths overlap at the same time when they spawn it. It was the same in the original but it’s also 2025.

The waterfront could have really used a bit more shacks. The arena posters just slapped onto walls bother me as well.

Thankfully, I imagine mods will fix all this so I’m optimistic overall.

When you see quotes in headlines, it’s because someone said those exact words. Journalist don’t use the sarcastic “quotes”.

The laws that apply to a person’s likeness in your example don’t apply to an art style.

Currently, it isn’t clear if consent is required for style. It’s highly transformative but we will only know after the lawsuits are finished and any new law is put in place. Depends on location as well I’m guessing.

It’s basically fanart being banned but worse, and everybody is cheering for the copyright industry winning and censoring us again.

I wonder if we’ll run out of styles in a few years or if it will only apply to the ones with lawyers and lots of money behind them.

Admin only isn’t public tbh.

Article since it’s behind a paywall.

We need public voting or this will only get worse. It’s currently way too easy to manipulate everyone’s feed.

3d printed material is porous, so it will eventually fill with water and start leaking, but not a lot. You can solve this various ways though, just something to take into account.

Hard to gett a feel for what you want to build but there might be better solutions. The joints will be an other weak point. When assembling them though, I’ve heard using a candle or something similar to soften up the plastic a bit before fitting them together really helps.

That’s fair. We can also expect proper moderation from social media sites. I’m okay with a light touch but It shouldn’t be floating around if you get what I mean.

Banning the tech, banning generated cp on the internet or banning it at home?

I’m a big advocate of AI and don’t personally want any kind of banning or censorship of the tools.

I don’t think it should be published on any kind of image sharing sites. I don’t hold people publishing it in high regard and I’m not against some kind of consequence. I generally view prison as unproductive though.

At home, I’m not sure. People imo can do what they want behind closed doors. I don’t want any kind of surveillance but I don’t know how I would react if it got brought up at a trial, as a kind of proof if the allegations have something to do with that theme (child molestation).

I also don’t think we need much of a reason to ban it on the web.

Kids will do things if they see other children doing it in pictures and videos. It’s easier to normalize sexual behavior with cp then without.

Although that’s true, such material can easily be used to groom children which is where I think the real danger lies.

I really wish they had excluded children in the datasets.

You can’t really put a stop to it anymore but I don’t think it should be something that’s normalized and accepted just because there isn’t a direct victim anymore. We are also talking about distribution here and not something being done in private at home.

We first use the DE-COP membership inference attack (Duarte et al. 2024) to determine whether a particular data sample was part of a target model’s training set. This works by quizzing an LLM with a multiple choice test to see whether it can identify original human-authored O’Reilly book paragraphs from machine-generated paraphrased alternatives that we present it with. If the model frequently correctly identifies the actual (human-generated) booktext (for books published during the model’s training period) then this likely indicates priormodel recognition (training) of that text.

I’m almost certain OpenAI trained on copyrighted content but this proves nothing other then it’s ability to distinguish between human and machine written text.

It isn’t. I’d even say that simply completing puzzles is far from AGI, even if the puzzles are complex.

I’m mostly talking about being able to train on copyrighted content. This is on me though, I got mixed up. That’s what I meant in my first comment.

If you think someone can train a model on legally obtained data (Google images, YouTube, internet archive), then that is fair.

Personally, I think using pirated or at least bought content that is ripped (Netflix, DVDs) should be exempt (for everyone obviously, not just OpenAI.) Some data is already behind huge mega corps like record labels, Hollywood, publishing houses, etc. OpenAI can afford the cost but the little guys will be screwed when it comes to SOTA.

It’s also worth noting that most current lawsuits are aimed at how the data is used and not how it’s sourced if I’m not mistaken. The laws coming from these lawsuits won’t be used to bolster anti-piracy laws but copyright laws instead, targeting fair use and transformative clauses imo.

It’s sadly already happening in regards to stack.

Mostly youtube, reddit and image search. I guess I could just record a Netflix stream if I needed the whole movie. I guess recording a Netflix stream is pirating? Probably easier with a torrent.

What does it matters? I don’t think pirating is unethical especially when it’s not even redistribution but transformative. Openai has never stopped me from pirating or even asked me to stop. Not sure what you mean with “no one else”.

You ever ask yourself if the memes made from movie scenes used pirated media?

What pirate bay is doing isn’t exactly transformative. I pirate most of my media and can’t say I’m not for better copyright laws and a better treatment of pirate bay, I just think the situations are different.

I don’t think saying “if pirate bay is illegal, so should training ai without compensations” is exactly fair. (I wish the actual people contributing could be compensated, but how it’s set up, we would be giving a few companies a monopoly while compensating mostly data aggregators.)

Reforms don’t have to be pro-corporate slop.

Sadly, the media and most of the population is practically begging for it. When you couple that with the pressure exerted by record companies, publishing houses, etc, it is clear those are the reforms we get if any.

In our current society, little people can get away with it. I can take whatever style I want and train a model on it. There’s already many ghibli ressources in the open source scene, and a lot of them date from 2 years ago.

This whole situation is rage bait to manipulate the population into cheering for new copyright laws so politicians get little push back when they start writing pro-corporate laws regarding AI.
