Why do people keep reading dystopias as instruction books?

Oh, I'm with you. I don't think anyone using Google VPN was using it because it protected their privacy on the Internet generally. At least I hope not.

Quoting the linked article:

The contract the Guild secured in September set a historic precedent: It is up to the writers whether and how they use generative AI as a tool to assist and complement—not replace—them. Ultimately, if generative AI is used, the contract stipulates that writers get full credit and compensation.

So, yeah. It's more about ensuring that a human person in the writers' guild gets credited as a writer, even if they or someone else uses an ai as a tool in the process.

Unless I'm mistaken, this was more about writers not wanting the studio to be able to say "we had an ai generated a script. We'll pay you a day to do a brief editing pass."

That's okay. Did you know it has sequels?

[–] Silentiea@lemm.ee 1 points 5 months ago

Just maybe don't chew those ones.

They have a high alcohol diet?

 

I'm not sure if this is me or if it's a feature request, but is there a way to have people's username show as their display name when they have one set? Or to display profile avatars on comments?

 

It's annoying to have to click "view all the comments" and then scroll to find where the one you were looking at is. The other thing I've done is click the permalink button to see it in a browser to find the context...
