Is Micro.Blog actually federated with ActivityPub? The site says it supports cross-posting to Mastodon, which sounds like it's more of a post mirroring service than an actually federated instance. I couldn't find much more clarification on their About page.
Not at all. I think it's fascinating. The technology behind it is incredible and getting better every day. While I don't consider any AI-generated images to be "masterpieces" by any stretch of the imagination, they're interesting to study.
If the voice doesn't match the account owner, it doesn't give out any personal info. If you use somebody else's Assistant, you can only get general search results or media payback, typically.
I've been seeing a ton of these sites spamming up Google's search results lately. It's super frustrating, and makes it so much harder to find things that I'm looking for. Luckily, uBlock Origin is good about blocking these pages if I accidentally click on one, but still, this is absurd.
Destiny has so many amazingly designed weapons. Thorn, Malfeasance, Winterbite, Touch of Malice, all the Ikelos weapons, Conditional Finally, Deathbringer, Eyes of Tomorrow, Gjallarhorn... Weapon artists at Bungie are on another level.
Similar situation for me, as well. My company's taken a turn that's very successful for the C-suites, but more and more stressful for the rest of us and I'm becoming majorly burnt out.
If you wanna be rebellious around Christmas, all you gotta do is serve somebody a coffee in a red paper cup.
But that aside, both "Christmas" and "Xmas" are equally religious. The X in "Xmas" is actually meant to be the initial for Christ's name in Greek (Χριστός), so it's still ultimately the same thing as saying "Christmas".
Yeah, Japan had a massive tech boom in the 80s and 90s, but then just kinda stopped growing that field. It's still there and still a strong industry in Japan, but the cultural tech hype isn't there anymore, it seems.
Maybe you do. Maybe you don't. It's hard to tell, since so few developers ever actually release their fan projects in the first place, so there's not a lot of noteworthy cases to draw precedent from.
But at the very least, you'll end up with a finished product under your belt. You'll have experienced the entire process of designing, developing, and releasing a video game. That's legitimate experience that you can put on your resume, even if you are sued for it. But an incomplete project that got shutdown before ever seeing the light of day is worthless to a developer who may want to pursue a future in software.
Like most current demonstrations of AI, it's just a tech demo. All it's really meant to do is show off its capabilities. This wasn't meant to be taken as somebody's true artistic vision or something.
Another reminder of the age-old lesson: If you're working on a fan project that involves another company/person's IP, keep it a secret until you're ready to release it. So many cool fan projects get shut down because they get impatient and show off their work so early that they get C&D'd before they ever get a chance to come close to finishing their project.
If you're in line at Burger King, your life's already in kind of a dystopian place as it is. Clearly, several things have gone wrong for you to end up here.
She might as well have told all of Us.
