    World of Warcraft: Season of Discovery

    I got trolled for saying this after only playing for a couple nights and the trolls were right. Honestly, Lone Wolf alliance has a pretty good community.

    In an ideal world, every consenting content producer gets their work trained into these models, contributions above a certain percentile threshold get attributed, and everyone gets compensated anytime their content is used. In the world we're heading for, Woke OpenAI owns the entire internet...

    That's just your lack of reading comprehension, I already covered this in that same post: The href shows where the content came from, and links to where you can go find it. It therefore serves as both a reference and an attribution. The img src is a reference to the cache on some CDN...

    That's all anyone is asking, but it's not technically possible the way the technology is built. If you remove it from the training data it does not remove it from the model, aka the current version of the product. They would have to re-run the training and produce an entirely new model anytime...

    Yes. Many people, repeatedly, including many ongoing lawsuits. It is not technically feasible. They cannot remove the content from the model. Think of the model as a vast network of interconnected numbers. No one, not even the creators, understands how any given piece of content or any...

    Yes, thanks for losing the argument. Further, for all of these copywritten books, Google displays the copyright page of the books. It attributes the content to the original content producer. LLMs and Diffusion models do none of these things. They attempt to pass the copied content, stored...

    You're 100% demonstrably wrong. Our own forum threads do this all the time. Because of the storage limits on this website, much of the content of any of the picture and gif threads are linked from elsewhere, either to Imgur's backend, or Discord's CDNs, etc, or many other websites. That is...

    There is no valid legal argument that compressing the original content itself and storing it inside the model, aka OpenAI's product, qualifies as either Fair Use or Transformative Use.

    You are very obviously way out of your element here on a technical level, and your argument sucks on top of it. When you do a Google Image Search and are presented with the indexed images, you get this: So the image you're presented in the index is in fact pulled from the original source...

    You don't seem to get how this works. It is not browsing the web and grabbing a screencap from Dune for you. That screencap from Dune is stored inside the model from the training run; that math is part of the model's neural network and model weights, its knowledgebase. Therefore, they have...

    You have walked into my trap card. Google hyperlinks to material. Google does not present those images as their own product. Further, for 25+ years, robots.txt has allowed you to control how your content is indexed by search engines. Additionally, Google gives massive amounts of control to...

    I'm honestly not a great Constructed player, unless I've played dozens or hundreds of games with a deck. Draft, I'd put myself up with the best drafters in the world, especially in limited formats where 3-5 color decks are the norm.

    Every set on Arena now has a supplemental set of 'Arena Only' cards that can do things that paper cards can't really do easily, like conjure other cards, or perpetually alter cards even once they've changed zones, etc. They're very Hearthstone-inspired mechanics. But unlike paper cards, if...

    There were quite a few, but I tuned the shit out of this list specifically to ladder-grind. The thing about Alchemy is that it is filled with broken, Hearthstone-like cards, and tournament results/decklists are scarce with being Arena-only and mostly Arena Ladder-only. It's one of the few...

    Lots of cantrips and other shit. This was from an earlier iteration of the deck before I completely demolished the format. This was from Standard Alchemy, so regular Standard + the Arena-only Alchemy cards associated with those sets.

    I quit MTG cold turkey after breaking top #25 mythic with my Oracle of the Alpha/Clockmaker/Reality Chip deck. It's never going to get better than chaincasting the power 9 off the top of my deck. Call me when the Phyrexians come back.

    Sure it will, as long as they can still sell mounts and pets. Fortnite is a PvP game. LoL, CoD BR, etc, all PvP games. This idea is just a very large BR/DOTA mashup with a much longer session length.

    I didn't say 100% PvP. I said basically a giant game of DOTA. There would be creeps to kill, forts to take defend or take down, but also people to fight.

    I found it. They founded a company called Climax Online that was building a Warhammer Online. That project collapsed after they burned through a ton of money, never even made it into alpha. Mythic then bought the license and started over. The Warhammer Online released by EA/Mythic had no...

    They don't state the European copies sold after 2003, but the game was about equally popular in Europe as it was in the US, so let's just say around 1 to 1.2 million copies sold. It had roughly the same number of active players as Everquest in 2006, had 7 expansions, and despite Mythic...
