The final art will still be based on the AI (read: stolen) art.

You’re making assumptions both of the developers’ workflow, and of their AI models.

Because it’s not a big deal, and IGA are technopuritans who can no longer be taken seriously.

anyone could read the code and understand how it works

“Anyone” is doing some heavy lifting here.

How does this stop AI scrapers?

Which is why we have serifs, so you can tell the difference between I and l.

Welcome to Lemmy, where everything is wrongthink.

Search engines haven’t worked reliably for several years now, the top results for almost any search are from social media pages that you can’t even read without an account. The Internet is broken.

I hope he’s doing well. Thanks to the code he started, I’m on the Fediverse in the first place.

DEI isn’t intended to be “colorblind”, it explicitly suggests that employers give consideration to applicants from disparaged demographics, who may have otherwise been ignored during the application process. It doesn’t, however, imply hiring quotas; there is no such thing as “a DEI hire”.

Many people seem to confuse DEI for Affirmative Action, as evidenced above. This article explains the differences pretty succinctly: https://natlawreview.com/article/dei-diversity-equity-and-inclusion-v-affirmative-action-they-are-not-same

While Affirmative Action is often seen as a legal and policy-driven approach, DEI is more about cultural transformation and ongoing efforts to create a supportive and inclusive workplace. Both are crucial for building a fair and equitable society, but they operate on different levels and address different aspects of inequality. DEI initiatives, though can impact hiring, focus on the workplace and people in it. The intent is to embrace the collective, minimize bias and treat others in a respectful and understanding manner.

Rocks are woke now.

Neither of those are DEI.

I feel like you may not understand what DEI actually is. What, precisely, do you think a “DEI hire” is?

So Roblox is the only of those companies that can handle proper region failover if us-east-1 shits the bed?

Either that, or the reports stopped coming in since it’s a school day.

Why?

A lot of the affected services seem to be partially functional right now. It looks like the AWS network that went offline is one managing real-time analytics data, mostly.

It’s not necessarily about competition, it’s about visibility. If I create something and I want to share it with people, that means I want people to see it. It doesn’t necessarily mean “I want people to see this more than other posts”, just “I’d rather not be posting into the void”.

For instance, I make YouTube Shorts for a game I play. I don’t post them on Lemmy anymore, because the Lemmy community for the game only has 60 subscribers, most of whom aren’t even active accounts anymore. The highest-upvoted thread in the community has 47 votes, the second-highest only has 9. This translates to effectively nobody on Lemmy seeing the videos I made, because this small, slow-paced community’s posts get drowned out by everything else.

It’s a signal-to-noise issue. There are some smaller communities I’d like to keep an eye on, but the posts from those communities get drowned out by the more active ones. I miss a lot of posts that I would have liked to have seen because of this.

Whatever you do, you shouldn’t accidentally spill saltwater on it. That could destroy a very expensive piece of spying equipment, and would be a terrible, tragic accident that could interfere with the advance of nazism.

Good idea! How do I get past the boarded-up doors, though?

Remember: ICE are not people.
