I’m not as up to date (like at all lol) with specifically open source ai. Is it any better then corporate ai? Including data center-like resources use? or otherwise?

RetroGaming@lemmy.world•3D Franchises that went 2D | Game SackEnglish
2·3 days agoRayman and Sonic are some interesting case studies for this type of thing.
Sonic started with 2d when it was at its original peak(SNES.genesis) then dived into 3d in its peak with the Saturn and Dreamcast and ps2 Gamecube, Xbox. and now with the switch Sonic dived back into 2d with games like Sonic mania, and some mobile games, wile still delivering 3d. Sonic has a lot of boht 3d and 2d games from that ip.
Rayman is similarly interesting but what is interesting about it particularly was the first game was 2d but was (for 2d game standards) made for more modern hardware, the ps1/ Atari Jaguar. In the case of Rayman, hardware limitations weren’t as much of an issue you can actually view the 2d genre as a genre. Then it dived into 3d with the second and third game. but then interestingly, for their ps3/Xbox 360 and Wii/wii u. Rayman games they again made a 2d game for modern hardware. You could play 2d for the genre itself not strictly because of hardware limitations. Rayman is probally one of the better games to fairly compare 2d and 3d games in the same IP.
Both of these are platformers however. not fighting games or others particularly.

Technology@lemmy.world•‘You Will Not Speak on Flock Tonight’: County Commissioner Refuses to Let Residents Opposing Flock Speak at MeetingEnglish
3·3 days agoWhy can’t people talk about flock in a public forum? They claim its because there’s lots of them. I think it’s because they just don’t want to hear what people think about it. Some kind of ai spy tracking agenda.

Wear clothing worn by a smaller percent. This could reduce the chance of false accusations if you truly are innocent. I mean in this specific case it probally could.

Technology@lemmy.world•New York Becomes First State to Ban Bots That Scrape News SitesEnglish
71·6 days agoRealistically what good would it do once you already had scraped the pattern of news sites it’s already over. All this is doing in actuality is preventing new start ups from competing in the ai space. so really this is the fastest enshitification world record of a medium. Whether you like or hate ai this is actually an enshitification of it. ( I hate ai.)

Technology@lemmy.world•New plans to stop children taking, sharing or viewing nude imagesEnglish
3·6 days agoThis is literally impossible even with ai and a dangerous bill for big tech. While for smaller Fediverse Communities it’s much much easier to moderate that type of content since
a. we don’t have to rely on a corporation to provide the tools we need.
b. you would only be responsible (I think) for content on your own local feeds. However if you are responsible for federated content appealing as well, might want to federate with servers with some type of user verification (not id verification) but like verifying your use purpose of a server they are joining. and defederate from other servers that are not moderating their local feeds.

Technology@lemmy.world•UK’s Starmer gives Apple, Google 3 months to stop children sending nude imagesEnglish
18·6 days agoThe idea is good but even with ai measures minors can easily fake an ai face id verification. I don’t think it’s possible to prevent 100% of cases.
But hopefully if this actual results in the ai tech improving at preventing a over whelming majority of kids faking their ages it would be extremely rare. If not… the amount of fines tech companies might risk facing could potentially bankrupt them if too many kept sneeking past the ai and the gov acted against Google for that. the fines for that type of content isn’t usually a small matter.

1·14 days agoAs much as they (alt right/conservatives) talk about being censored. I don’t think any u.s democrat elected official has ever went this far against their networks, as much as they disliked their views. This doesn’t look good.

Fuck Cars@lemmy.world•‘Heartbreaking’: 2-year-old girl dies after being hit by car on beachEnglish
1·14 days agoThis wouldn’t happen with public transit. At the very least it is much much less likely.
I feel like cars should be either heavily restricted at beaches or banned. If someone is at a beach playing in the sand and normal beach activities and a car could cause this type of distress. If not banned there should at the least be a more clearly visible parking lot seperated from the beach.


I actually want to find out how Google will get out of this one. Without any type of lobbying. Even in the u.s ai search promp resualts are technically considered Googles own speech and they are legally responsible. Sadly no one in government seems interested in enforcing ai and even where there is there is this push to take the power from the states to regulate ai.
