Sounds exactly like the person who is about to find out they are addicted

one is "take me one level up the hierarchy." They're often but not always the same.

Who expects this behavior? It doesn't make sense. You just want to go back where you were. Most file browsers I've used wanting to implement going up a level in hierarchy, have an arrow pointing up.

You can't avoid big corps training on your data if it's available, because "fair use".

But I hope this same 'fair use' will allow distilling of their private models into open weight models, so users are never locked in into any particular vendor. Giving back power to the user.

They can take it from the current 30% cut

The biggest contribution is still from the training set, whose original authors get 0 because of "fair use" in the copyright.

I work at FAANG, and leadership is successfully pushing the urge for speed by stablishing the new productivity expectations, and everyone is rushing as much as they can, as the productivity gain doesn't really match the expectations, and people overwork to make up for this difference. This works very well with internal competition and a quota system for performance ratings, with some extra fear due to the bad job market.

I feel this new world sucks. We have new technology that boosts the productivity of the individual engineer, and we could be doing MUCH better work, instead of just rushed slop to meet quotas.

I feel I'm just building my replacement, to bring the next level of profits to the c-suite. I just wish I wasn't burning out while doing so.

More than end-point, it's about harm throttling. Cigarettes will kill you, but there's only so many cigarettes you can smoke per day.

Limit gambling to symbolic amounts (maybe a monthly limit of the minimum salary in that country), and see how it goes.

You might even have gambling companies lobbying to increase the minimum salary!

License it GPL, and it will be fed to a model as training data to recreate it copyright free anyways.

Isn't such design something that is super easy to copy by AI anyways? Spend months working on it, and you'll just get lots of clones the next week.

There should be digital riots, where people team up to fight such abusive practices. Thinking of AdNauseam extension, but next level. Surely there should be a very simple and effective way to disrupt such practices when people organize. Is there any precedent for such thing?

This is super infuriating. I wish there was a way to offshore the effort and work needed to toggle each option off to the culprit website. Perhaps when website A presents you with such hostile prompts, take their contact email, and subscribe it with automation to each of the vendors. I'm just too tired of this shit.

"I'm building the foundation to course correct individuals and reintegrate them into society".

Every VP building the most cancerous product will think they are making the world a better place. It's just a matter of perspective.

The real test would have been to use some software that the author uses frequently, and see if there's any decrease in speed when removing all the icons. I'm pretty sure, even when not pleasant, they work as heavy visual cues to find the item quicker.

Icons are also very useful if you're trying to use software in a language that you're learning, becoming the common language bridge.

Yesterday twitter feed was showing me all sorts of people executing this idea fully end to end: creating endless stream of content, selling whatever product or idea, presented as fully human content. Of course with fake AI people, engaging in content to make it look real, and using hooks or sexualized content to make it grab more attention.

Im unsure what the final outcome out of this is, but it makes me sad that we're about to see an explosion of fake content on the internet indistinguishable from real people so soon, if not already, for pure profit, where everything is allowed.

The game is ported to switch, and it does run slow when you do big combos. You can feel it visually to the point that it's a bit annoying.

What's the general recommendation for when this is the case?

I wanted to take the time to thank you for the service you provide. itch.io is unvaluable to the indie community, and I'm perplexed when I see some devs complain about issues like this. Thabks for all your work.

This just reminded me that the GeForce Experience (which is recommended to use the recording functions, and keep updating the drivers), requires an account. And the software is unable to keep your account logged in. It's outrageous to pay so much for a graphics card to later have this experience.

When I'm on my phone and a website shows the ads popup, I open it in Brave, which just blocks everything. That's the current implementation of "do not track" settings.

What I always find funny about this, is that the popup is presented with "We value your privacy", followed by "allow us to share data with >500 partners".

I wished that such statements had some value greater than nil.

Most teams in Europe either don't care, or can't use the badging data to affect performance because whatever local laws. I'm glad that for once they didn't fully enforce policies worldwide because some VP in the US is butthurt that their reports don't want to show up at the office.

Are there any examples of white hat hackers or similar fighting against stuff like this? Too much cyber harm is done to benign businesses and people already, so I wonder if there's ever some "for a good cause".

I watched Office Space for the first time when I was a teenager many years ago. It's funny how much my perception of the movie changed and how much it resonates with my work now, specially since the last years. One difference is that I have 10 different managers, which makes me dissociate enough from work without the need of any hypnotist.

I discovered bouldering recently, which is the latest sport i found that feels more fun than a chore, so I find myself wanting to go more often than not.

Use your peers, friends and meetups to take any chance to try a new sport. I found that most sports I tried they are actually fun, and I had just ignored them.

Thanks a lot for sharing. I love your approach for smaller games with faster cadence, and that it worked as full time job. I know the market is tough, but I hope you can make it work as long as you want.

How did you do this transition? How did you feel about your decision before your game was featured? I've been thinking about this path, but I feel too hesitant to jump.

You get what you deserve if you don't block ads.

I hope you do great contributions to the cause if you are already at the point of victim blaming.

Not telling my friends that I love them.

I was 28 the first time a friend told me "I love you" in a pure friendship way (and while sober), and without being a part of a special situation. I've also done it afterwards, and because I had never told my friend i love them, it made the message even stronger.

It feels wrong that we don't do this more often.

That's still $20k above what they have to pay for the right of usage of the library. What donation amount above would you consider reasonable? Or how would you budget Spotify's donation accross all open source projects that they use?

You can dual-license to avoid comercial exploitation. Why then set an expectation on how much should be donated for complete open source projects?

I acknowledge I stretched a bit your comment. I meant it as a way to try to find the line on what's OK with these new AIs rather than ill-intended O:)

Regarding your point, I wonder how different is it to break the "terms of use" for fair right, vs breaking the "terms of obtaining" alltogether. They both are about jumping over owner's will, who has the full rights of the work.

I very much look forward to see how the ethics and law around these issues evolve.
