How has he not been booted as CEO yet? If I was a shareholder I'd be pissed.
This doesn’t mean that Meta denies using shadow libraries, its argument is that using such data to train its LLM models constitutes fair use under U.S. copyright law.
Oh wow, I'm very much looking forward to this argument... "We believe pirating the copyrighted commercial works of others en masse to develop our own commercial product constitutes fair use... China bad!"
Regardless of what you think of him or his actions, it's pretty horrible that Hollywood can induce so much prolonged stress on the accused before charges are even faced in court that it results in this.
This reminds me of the time the Zoom CEO announced he wanted employees back in the office because remote work wasn't as effective. It's easy to assume the people running these companies are competent...
robots.txt is the perfect summary of the web era. A plain text file that politely asked web crawlers not to do certain things. Such an innocent time.
Wow, it's pretty wild they didn't even attempt to encrypt or protect this data, even if it is local to your machine. What a treasure trove for malware to sift through.
A new deal is being forged with 4chan instead.
The author had so many things to highlight that they didn't even mention "as of August 2024" being in the future, haha.
What a trainwreck. The fact it's giving anonymous Reddit comments and The Onion articles equal consideration with other sites is hilarious. If they're going to keep this, they need it to cite its sources at a bare minimum. Can't wait for this AI investor hype to die down.
I don't know about you, but if I must leak my private data like a sieve to use the internet, I'd much rather that data go to a government that isn't governing me!
Would love to see the same tests with an adblocker installed.
That's an antitrust case if ever I saw one.
I don't read reviews, I'm not on social media (except here) and I don't participate in online discussions about my games. At least that's the principle I try and live by, I'm only human. And running my own studio meant having to break those rules anyway. Oh well.
Truthfully, it doesn't bother me that much, and it gets easier the more it happens. Not everything is for everyone, and either people are respectful in their critique (which you can learn from to hopefully get better next time) or they're disrespectful (in which case you can pretty much ignore what they're saying as online trolling).
Also when you're at a bigger studio, your contribution to the game is much smaller anyway (1000s of devs), so you feel less personal about the feedback.
As I've gotten more experience, I actually feel like ANY type of feedback is good feedback - it means people are playing your game! There will always be a vocal minority wanting to rage and vent, and you can just take their volume level as an indicator of how well your game has captured your audience's attention.
