Soyjak: Pizza toppings are gross! I just eat the materials raw!
Chad: Eat what you want, how you want.
Edit: I just realized, this isn't political enough for some people (non-Italians). Imagine Pizza is a metaphor for cannibalism. There, it's now political.
No, they can make money without stealing. They just choose to steal and lie about it either way. It's the worst kind of justification.
The investors are predominantly made up of the Rationalist Society. It doesn't matter whether or not AI "makes money". It matters that the development is steered as quickly as possible towards an end product of producing as much propaganda as possible.
The bottom line barely even matters in the bigger picture. If you're paying someone to make propaganda, and the best way to do that is to steal from the masses, then they'll do it regardless of whether or not the business model is "profitable" or not.
The lines drawn for AI are drawn by people who want to use it for misinformation and control. The justifications make it seem like the lines were drawn around a monetary system. No, that's wrong.
Who cares about profitability when people are paying you under the table to run a mass crime ring.
Linux is the future.
Failing company? Invest into a propaganda program. People will definitely see the value in these shit brands going forward.
Calling it "stealing comments" is an interesting way of rewording for what is obviously bot spam.
Someone once told me the dub for Mushoku Tensei was better than the sub. That person was a liar.
Also, that anime is incredibly weird.
You're wrong on point #1. This isn't being done per Sam Altman for commercial purposes. It's being done per Microsoft in an attempt to remove the OpenAI board completely. Facebook recently shutdown its AI Ethics division.
All of this is happening in conjunction with each other. Large corporations are trying to privatize AI and using key personnel in the industry to make it seem like a good thing. This wasn't just Sam Altman. Whoever drafted the letter demanding the board steps down is working with Microsoft to do this.
More than likely, that group went around spreading doomsday to the other employees in an attempt to scare them into fleeing the company.
Sam Altman is just a pawn.
Oof... Yeah this.
When you have a corporation that acts as a stand in for the law, something very wrong has happened.
-youtube is something I'll use more often I think.
It really is amazing how many tutorials there are for something as simple as "what is the hotkey for x".
It is annoying. Not gonna lie.
They'll just murder a bunch of people and then be turned off after having been shown to be ~~ineffective~~ too dangerous.
It's not like AI is reliable at this point. Way too many people are actively ignoring experts pointing this fact out and instead obsessing over Skynet or w/e made up sci-fi BS.
Rather than be used for war, they'll be used for threats of violence and propaganda. It's not a new problem. It's just a new version of that same problem.
Gas giants are more like the Sun than the Earth. You cannot really stand on them for instance as they don't really have a terrain in which to do so. They are primarily gaseous, which is why they are called gas giants.
Also, having a floating city on a gas giant makes no sense either. It's similar to suggesting that a star could have a floating city hovering directly above its atmosphere. That's not possible IRL, and it's confusing for a science-fiction video game to have that kind of element while striving for realism.
Overall, I feel more confused by the idea that people think this makes sense than to yell "confidently incorrect". Interesting though.
Edit: I'm sorry for the lack of tl; dr. There's a general drop off of quality, weird social media garbage, a lot of systemic problems, etc. What I'm trying to say here is hard to summarize
Aside from the fact that it's mass produced garbage, I can actually say that I'm old enough to have experienced a period of anime where the production values, writing, and dialogue weren't exactly terrible.
I think a good example of my gripe with anime today is watching something like Fate Zero and then following that up with Heaven's Feel. The distinct drop in quality between those 2 adaptations is pretty stark.
The original Yu-Gi-Oh anime was absolutely wild. It's dumb in a uniquely entertaining fashion. There were so many sequels that were produced for Yu-Gi-Oh and every single one of them was completely terrible.
Watching Tenchi Muyo's OVA part 1 and part 2 was fairly enjoyable. Part 3 is so much worse for seemingly no good reason.
The third Tenchi Muyo film was abjectly terrible. It's quite possibly one of the worst films that has ever been made.
FLCL season 1 was legendary. Season 2 and 3 were substantially worse.
The new Evangelion films weren't exactly great.
Even as far back as Pokemon season 1, that season was pretty okay. Almost everything past the first 2 seasons were.... really bad....
There have been some bad adaptions for Berserk that have been mentioned from time to time.
Dragonball Super is weird. Nobody really seems to like Super. Even people who watch Super regularly treat it as some kind of Frankenstein monster.
Gundam has been pretty consistently not good for well over a decade. Gundam Wing was pretty insane. It started off with some super questionable writing and poor voice acting, and then it ended off being probably the best thing Gundam has ever been. And everything that followed was.... not very good...
Naruto was followed by Boruto. It's pretty bad. A large chunk of the 2nd half of Naruto was just not good.
I've seen people defend Hunter X Hunter's Chimera Ant arc so brazenly. And still, it's genuinely not good. Which is amazing, because almost everything prior to that arc was crazy good.
To be fair, a lot of these problems stem from the fact that the work being adapted is also consistently worse. It's not just anime. A lot of this coincides with the same drop in quality in the manga industry as well.
The nearly universal drop in quality across the anime and manga industries has been... frustrating...
Even more frustrating is the overwhelming number of fake reviews, shilling, bot spam, etc that are meant to hide negative reviews about anime and pretty much anything involving Japanese media.
The amount of weird shit that gets posted to review sites and social media in order to hide the general negativity towards the anime industry is just gross and weird.
Another poster, Ace T'Ken, brought up a lot of specifics about the problems with anime in general. It's a pretty good write-up, imo.
My take is, I think that these problems are more "noticeable" in modern anime. But, almost all anime have these kinds of problems to one degree or another, new and old.
It's pretty systemic. I still think that these issues became a lot more noticeable coinciding with a general drop in quality across the whole industry.
I would like to say, it's not like I dislike anime "inherently". But, there's just so much bad anime.
