we do so via a large-scale (over 3, 600 distinct users) 13-month real-world user study and post-study survey

results indicate that the website context directly influences (with statistically significant differences) solving time between pass- word recovery and account creation.

We explore the cost and security of reCAPTCHAv2 and conclude that it has an immense cost and no security. Overall, we believe that this study’s results prompt a natural conclusion: reCAPTCHAv2 and similar reCAPTCHA technology should be deprecated.

I read one news about a community ban, and that was about calls to violence and doxxing over days, resulting in a temporary community ban. Not merely talking about Elon. I don't think that would be handled much differently on any other decent platform.

Have there been other instances of bans?

I wonder how many software devs and admins now weigh their morals. And how many reject to implement or not.

going on the main project

Sounds more like they're just making sure the plugin is compatible on release of GIMP 3.0. It's still a [separate] plugin.

Ah, sorry, I must have missed that when skimming.

"creating and bringing value requires secrecy"

or maybe stuff leaks and finds interest because it's questionable in the first place

Is it open source? Another article I read earlier said R1 is open weight, not open source. This article only says the org uses open source practices. No other mention of "open".

I'm surprised there's not an evident fork yet.

Real issues and contributions aside; creating one plugin is not contributing to Wordpress core/itself. And if they make good money over many years, I would agree that that alone is not a proportional or very significant contribution.

The plugin was evidently significant. But doesn't necessarily indicate overall contributions or proportionality.

btw, I love your avatar :D

I don't see any mention of an ML assistant?

Sorry about that.

As a side note; An '/s', used to indicate sarcasm, would have made it clear to me that it is a joke.

and then modify these using neutral prompts to meet a business goal (e.g., “increase the likelihood of us selling our product”).

Doesn't seem much different from pushing/pressuring a human to meet a business goal like that.

If it was intended as a joke, I don't see what would indicate it as such.

There are comments and people that like to spin this story. So I assume that's what the comment was. Meaning what it's saying.

I do ask when things are unclear or to open up the other party to elaborate on their views or meanings. I don't know what I could have asked here though.

I took no [personal] offense. I replied because I did not want to let that outlandish, divisive, conspiracy claim stand without any refute or criticism.

All I hope for is that the Controller fits well in my long thin hands - like the fat Steam Controller does.

With the right joystick in place, it's certainly a product I may buy. The Steam Controller trackpad was not a sufficient alternative for joystick input when most games designed input with the right joystick in mind. Aiming and camera control with a variable and non-tactile deadzone and input default of trackpad camera controls has always been annoying to me.

Not like you think it is. It's not a small exclusive club where they do what they want in a planned manner and only to their own gain and amusement.

What do you think about no preservations from 100 years ago? 1000? 2000?

We could certainly continue to live and evolve and make the same mistakes again without such history. But it gives us historic context, fills our curiosity, and allows us to analyze long term developments.

Video games are a cultural good. Like music. Music was, is, and remains part of our culture. It enriches us. It's useful for entertainment, for creativity, for curiosity, and to share culture and interests with one another.

I imagine preservation fulfills our innate desire to collect and preserve what we gained. Loss of what we find meaningful or influential sparks negative emotions.
