Friendly reminder that Duolingo was initially concieved to trick people into translating articles for free, which they later used as training data for MTL algorithms. Duolingo's primary purpose has NEVER been about teaching you a language, even from the start! slate.com/technology/2...

If it doesn’t charge users and, so far, doesn’t serve them any ads, how does Duolingo make money? It tricks you into working as an unpaid translation service. At the end of some lessons, Duolingo will ask you if you want to practice by translating a real-world document. Which will turn out to be, say, a BuzzFeed article. By melding together enough stabs at this task from high-level Duolingo users, the app can render a surprisingly accurate translation. Which is worth good money. So far, Duolingo has contracts with BuzzFeed and CNN to translate stories from English into languages such as Spanish, French, and Portuguese. This service is already earning Duolingo hundreds of thousands of dollars a year, but von Ahn predicts he will be adding a raft of new clients soon. “The language translations market is huge,” he says. “It’s a $30 billion per year market.”

I always be pointing at the sign that says: THE MORE HIGH-FIDELITY A GAME IS AND THE MORE COMPLEX ITS TASKS ARE, THE MORE OVERT HANDHOLDING IT WILL SLAM YOU WITH, SORRY. THAT'S VISUAL DESIGN, BABY youtu.be/W8cRaFjIn5Q?...

A post on r/gaming:

Why can't modern games shut up?

Playing Resonance: A Plague Tale Legacy, and while I enjoy the game in general, it does not give me a minute of silence. There is constantly, and I mean really constantly, someone talking. Either the protagonist or one of the companions. Not even something interesting, just what I see, what I do or what I have to do. "Hurry", "Be careful", "This looks interesting", ...

It got so bad in the later chapters I had to mute it in the menu.

Why can't the game give me a minute to enjoy the scenery or let the world speak for itself. Do people really enjoy this?

Power Morphicon is operated by shitty people, has harassers and domestic abusers as part of their volunteer staff that they refuse to distance themselves from, invites actors and influencers who have done awful things to people, and on top of all that the event isn't even well-operated. Fuck PMC.

It will never stop being funny to me that the street fighter subreddit has a much better, well reasoned ai policy vis a vis literally all universities.

Hi, thanks for posting! We do appreciate you thinking of us even though we have to moderate.

Our stance on all AI generated content (Images, Video, Voiceovers, and whatever else LLM based AI gets up to in the future):

At best, they are approximations of street fighter characters as the AI has no clue what it is trying to create. Because of this, there is no street fighter content so they are not allowed. (rule 1)

Also, they aren't allowed per our source rule. As AI sources cannot be tracked, we must assume that they use uncredited sources in the learning data. (rule 5)

Finally, AI images, video, text, and voiceovers are barely any different than posting a screenshot of a google search. The level of effort is so low that we consider it spam (rule 3).

Because of these reasons, AI art and other AI content is not allowed.

If you would like to contact the moderators about this removal, you can do so here.

Storyboard artists, often closest and most integral to realizing a director's vision, are a relatively cheap part of the process. Often their role is disparaged, or not even understood. And yet one of the main goals of AI in film production seems to be to replicate what they do.

It’s insane to me that porn addiction has more traction than gambling addiction considering that gambling advertised everywhere and the apps are designed to constantly send you notifications. Porn, on the other hand, is incredibly restricted and needs to be sought out

i think it's smart that the Wikipedia page for Chips and Dip opens with a "Rationale" section. a lot of people are flabbergasted to find out about this concept and need some grounding before they get into the history

Rationale

Usually the chips served are not flavored, or flavored only mildly, and the dip serves as a condiment. Serving them separately allows for simultaneous consumption, while also allowing for the eater to control the amount of dip according to their preference. When made from purchased processed foods, the dish is an easy finger food, as each item requires almost no further preparation. Not to mention, there is a large amount of combinatorial possibility inherent to the choice of dip being paired to the chip chosen.
