That’s what I use

Edit: I see you’re using linux though, I can’t really speak to its performance there as I only use it for windows

Don’t need a sidewalk, just walk on the lawns where the sidewalk should be! As a bonus you get great cardio running from the people who come out with a gun to protect their carefully manicured lawn from being tread on.

Yes but looking at publicly available shrek images is not what’s happening here, this is downloading every shrek movie

As far as the ethics of piracy, my stance is that The current model where we are essentially paying for someone to hit copy and paste is inherently broken and we need to move to a model based on commissions/grants etc where the artists are being paid to make the works, ideally through public funds.

As far as the current reality around the AI companies, that Arthas stand was one gamestop had a license to display in their store provided by Blizzard to promote their game. The copyrighted material you “trained on” was provided for piblic access. These companies aren’t training off of publicly available information, as I was saying, they’re torrenting the full copyrighted material in the exact same way a traditional pirate would, The only difference is what they’re doing with it afterwards.

Edit: I don’t know if there’s evidence of Midjourney’s developers doing it specifically but Meta absolutely has so it’s a pretty safe assumption.

I mean if you paid for a copy of wc3 to find out about Arthas then no, if you downloaded the game illegally then yes. These companies are often torrenting content just like we would just instead of consuming it directly they’re feeding it to their slop printers to train them. I’m all for piracy, including in this context, but if copyright is a going to be a thing and going to be enforced against individuals pirating treats to consume then it sure as shit should be enforced against the corporations pirating huge amounts of content to train their energy sucking crap factories lol

Looks like the last book came out a week before the first showing of the movie at a festival so it’s possible they could have been working with the creator but it definitely wasn’t out

I got to room 46 then looked stuff up for the later more arcane puzzles. I still have some stuff to unlock but waiting until someone finds the last envelope

Pointless because she merely says she is what starts a party, not that her presence is required for a party to continue once started.
