If I had a MILLION dollars I'd probably spend it all by hiring software
developers to create open source mods for The Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time.
But if I had a BILLION dollars you can bet your butt there wouldn't be any
starving kids in my country anymore. At least, until my money ran out, but
frankly it'd be well spent.

If I were a millionaire, I'd always be a millionaire, and so would my
children. I would save it, I would cherish it, and I would safeguard my
children and immediate family as best as money can do.

I realized the reason it's so difficult for me to get into a new video game is
because my perfect game existed at one point, but no longer, and all else
pales in comparison.
The make-believe games of children are without equal. They represent our inner
truth and desires, cast upon the canvas of our experience through the outputs
of imagination and physical exertion.
I'd spend my time as a child wandering through the forest with a stick in

sometimes I think about how much more productive I'd be if I had a code editor
that let me draw arrows and smiley faces and such alongside the code. Or if I
could position things strangely, like two functions side-by-side with boxes
drawn around them. Or diagrams or flowcharts or graphs or...
something that would output to raw txt format, but would present itself as an
image that could be edited.

true, but building a house will never cost 100$. Maybe 100,000$, and at that
point you could build but a few.
Meanwhile, they're throwing around millions of dollars. we're not measured on
the same scale as they are, and if we ever dip our toes into their end they
will bite them off.
If supply and demand were real laws that guided our economy, then wages would
have gone up after COVID, because so many people died. Housing would have
gotten cheaper, because fewer people were living in them. Food would have
gotten less expensive, because people were growing their own vegetables and
baking their own bread while they spent months isolating themselves. But alas.

Perhaps, potentially, people should pay for the original work, and then a
small sliver for the addition or modification? Why, I do believe that's how it
works now! Except, on the honor system, as people can download the mods for
free and pay (or not) through the creator's patreon page or whatever that they
definitely set up and which definitely shouldn't be able to levy a tax based
on "transaction fees" for a process which definitely should be handled by the
government, which claims to regulate our economy and provide the means by
which we engage with said economy through their de-facto nationalization of
the banks and other economic entities.
where was I going with this? oh yes software piracy is ethical so long as you

"oh but what if one artist has 1500 works and another has 15"
first of all, damn, good job. That's a lot of work.
second of all, what you should be doing is making a simple thing called a
STRUCT that stores DATA about each artist which lets you make decisions about
how to distribute dollars. The artist with 15 pieces simply has fewer data
points than the artist with 1500, but they are no less deserving of
compensation for their work when the AI generates something in their style, or
using their style as an inspiration.
"oh but just because a piece is similar to another piece doesn't mean the
first piece used the second piece as inspiration"
I don't care. It's not meant to be a perfect solution. I'm sure there's
problems with it, just like there are problems with anything that I, or anyone
else, has ever suggested at any point in time while living on this earth or
beyond. But it gets dollars into the hands of artists and I'm okay with that.

What he should have done is had the AI output the requested calculation as
JSON or something and use a calculator function call with the specified
arguments instead of trying to memorize every answer. But that requires more
functionality that has no reason to exist if your only goal is to be a tech

hello, I am an ant if @, but you can't touch me, because I am a law abiding
citizen.
I have to be, for I am loud.
... okay I stole a movie from the internet at least once.
also when I was 11 I walked out of a store with a keychain in my pocket. I
thought it had a nice texture so I was examining it and then my mom distracted
me and somehow it ended up in my pocket. That night will forever haunt me...
She wouldn't let me take it back...

this game is what we are missing
thank goodness for that
for if this is missing in our timeline
we'll be better off at last
we can have games, stories, and practice wars
but none of them are precious
precious implies worth
they are worth nothing but entertainment
no problem solving utility
nothing of value
save for perhaps the spatial awareness and strategization that comes
from being a part of such a deadly ba-lance.
anyway game time teehee just for me, don't worry about it I'll show
you why it's a HORRID THING
that won't be coming to our shores, no siree

if you beat them TOO hard, they go into hiding and sabotage you later.
if you don't strike hard enough, they'll overcome you.
the trick is in the balance. walking the line where they're forced to deploy
ALL of their assets while you manage to get through with All Things Sacred
intact.
I should probably post these things on a website instead of a forum for cuties
and nerds. Alas, free and open source protocols help ensure the message isn't
lost, obfuscated, or disappeared en route.
... they help, but nothing can offer guarantees.
