Doesn't matter. If your constitution literally states your government belief is that one race has the right to own another and you willing fight for that, then you're liable because you're working to uphold that belief.

I really want to play this but the last time I went to their purchase site I was afraid I was downloading malware and backed out.

I really should give it another go.

I keep going back to ONI to try and get into its endgame. But I quickly start getting kicked around in a back alley by the temperature stuff. Like trying to figure out colony-wide temperature control.

The factory must expand so the factory can expand so the factory can expand so the factory can expand so the factory..

Ah, I have fond memories of PS2. I slowly stopped playing when I started finding less and less coherent platoons working together. I'd join squads that were spread all over the map. It had so many fun things with it too, but somewhere along the way I started losing interest.

I'm addicted to urban fantasy right now so I definitely wish we could get another swing at The Secret World. I love hidden world things like a second society of cryptids beneath the mundane and I've been inlove with the setting for forever.

I know the devs were talking about a tv series but... nothing.

I've also always wanted to do a band of brothers style series but from a star wars' perspective where half the series is in the eyes of rebels and the other half in the eyes of the empire. But to slowly build up more gray morality - like the rebel soldiers have to struggle with committing acts that cause civilian casualties to push their objective. Or the stormtroopers slowly being broken from the imperial cult but still loyal to the concept of what it means for order.

Or like.. a band of brothers style series of a platoon of imperial guardsman in 40k. Just guys struggling to survive demons, aliens, and killer robots.

I'm taking the bait.

The art he prompted was drawn from and trained by art that wasn't his. The art was created by unsuspecting artists and then was blundered together like a frog until it created the image. He may have edited the image later on with a 3rd party program. But that's still altering art built from an amalgamation of others art.

And this isn't the same as line tracing or referencing other's art because that still requires the user to put pen to paper and wholly create something by hand. Or hand to digital modeling software. Something that actually takes hours of work and concentration. Not coming back to your PC to change the wording in your prompt and then walk away for an hour or whatever while it blends stuff together for you.

If the original creator of the art work should get the copyright then the thousands of artists who drew the original training material should get those copyrights.

This is the same problem with AI in other fields. It's drawn from the work of humans.

Moreover, I don't want to remove the human element from art ever.

Judging by my Age of Empire games... yes.

Boeing failure. They were supposed to return long ago.

Systemic racism in the US ment an inproportionate number of drafted service personnel were black as white draftees were able to get college deferments in higher numbers.

This boiled back down to the poorer economic situation of black peoples in the Civil rights era fighting for basic equality.

The draft also caused friction that increased fraggings as this racist treatment by educated white officers or NCOs were dealt with locally. Fragging was furthered by a disconnect between draftees who wanted to just survive and glory hounds who saw military service and War as some great adventure.

Yes, you see.. i want the taxes I pay to go to helping people. We could instead, say, stop giving as much to the DoD. We could raise taxes on corporations and close off shore loopholes.. you know, basic good governance.

I too was infantry. And muscle memory doesn't necessarily mean always being engaged to the process, it means being able to return to the necessary posture when needed.

It wasn't uncommon for us to rest our hands on our rifles too when we didn't need to be actively engaged in the current situation in any hostile fashion.
