The compression artifacts always led me to believe it was computer generated.

I mean, I sort of get why the developers say it’s Discord’s policy even if it’s a bit misleading.

Game developers don’t really want to moderate their own discord server and simply want to use the strictest automated filtering system available and this just happens to include phone number linking. The operators of the servers themselves do not have access to these phone numbers and they are only stored by discord directly to prevent spam.

I would personally prefer games to not have their communities tied to discord, akin to how forums were big deal for games back in the day, but even then they do need some kind of automated way to filter out all the crap. This is a problem with moderating any community, including a lemmy/kbin/mastodon, and I don’t blame them for simply picking the strictest option to ease the burden on the 1 or 2 people who are charged with managing these servers (especially if they are unpaid or volunteers, which is a whole other can of worms that shouldn’t happen…)

Until there’s evidence there’s basically no reason to treat this as news.

The ai is trained on recordings of his voice which they have not secured the rights to though. You can’t simply use any data you find on the street and use it professionally in any field.

An impression is a very different context. You’re vastly overestimating the independence of an AI model to equate it to human performance or impersonators.

Hey! It’s like they read my last comment in the shutdown announcement thread.

This is really the best move they can make at this point.

Crazy to me that they’d shut down instead of going open source and integrating with the fediverse. Doesn’t even seem like a good business move as offering hosting for other companies and professional groups seems like a good market opportunity in a world where businesses even dislike Twitter.

Edit: for example, offer gitlab like service but for social media.

If an intern gives you some song lyrics on demand, do they sue the parents?

Uh— what? That analogy makes no sense. AI is trained off actual lyrics, which is why companies who create these models are at risk (they don’t own the data they’re feeding into the model.)

Also your comment is completely mixing Trademark and Copyright examples. It has nothing to do with brand names and everything to do with intellectual property.

Companies need to stop ignoring copyright on data they don’t own and never have owned.

Do you have a source for this? That’s interesting but I can’t find the origin of this story.

Some of them are just too far invested to see the light. It’s actually pretty sad to see twitter addicts fail to migrate to any of the plethora of alternatives.

To be fair, I think his point is pretty clear: No ad based content means potentially no more “influencers” or content creators, but with the up side that the internet would become healthier. He’s basically acknowledging that his whole job is sustained by a business model that’s not entirely healthy for the internet despite being entirely dependent on it.

The “no moat” is the theme of this year’s internet and is the real reason why reddit introduced a fee for their API (despite not telling people that directly, in fear of looking greedy) and Twitter heavily rate limiting their content (to slow down AI scraping from their “competitors”)

The irony is that their obsession with keeping their current database private, they’ve essentially removed a large chunk of their existing userbase who are generating new content. They’re going to have to hope that AI can procedurally create new content for them and that (importantly) people are interested in reading non-humans talk about anything.
