And yet there are still issues with Steam having a de facto monopoly on game distribution that often get overlooked.

Steam’s standard revenue share model takes a 30% cut of all game sales, a figure that has become industry standard but is increasingly scrutinized. For a game priced at $20, developers only see $14 before accounting for taxes and other expenses. This split can have profound implications for indie studios operating on tight budgets.

I am definitely impressed by what it can do, but what real world demand does it fulfil? You know, apart from misinformation campaigns and the like. There may be some use cases, but enough to justify the huge investments?

The difference between an AI image that is hard to spot and nearly impossible to spot is another 20 min of work in post.

Yeah, I don’t doubt it, but you still need human labour. Not anyone can simply fake a photo on a level that’s believable.

Most of these images have really shitty resolution as well. Can’t they generate higher res stuff or would inconsistencies otherwise be more obvious?

Kalai: Korrekt: Es gibt bisher keine Quantencomputer, die in der Lage sind, unsere heute üblichen Verschlüsselungsmethoden zu knacken. Aber das könnte schon in fünf Jahren anders aussehen

Also ist der Titel wohl Clickbait und ein Zitat, das so wahrscheinlich gar nicht geäußert wurde?

Here is some useful information on the topic. They will basically puke one way or another. Cat grass only helps them do it in a more controlled manner? Idk. I give malt paste to my cat. It seems to help with the hairballs and she doesn’t throw up because of it.

but Mexicans loved him

Yes, all Mexicans love Speedy Gonzales. It’s a little known fact that 27 years ago the Mexican government exiled every person who didn’t love Speedy Gonzalez. A lot of them settled in the Pittsburgh area and tried to rebuild their lives from scratch when back in nineteen ninety eight the undertaker threw mankind off hell in a cell and plummeted sixteen feet through an announcers table.

Basiert dies auf einer wahren Begebenheit?

I think you might mistake the weirdly drawn blue trunk for a hood. The person driving also seems to be sitting front left, indicating the right direction of travel.

Warum served (dient) mein schnitzel low key als Saddam Hussein hiding spot?

FIFY. It’s still a mess and barely recognizable as German, but I catch myself doing something similar if I only remember the English word.

Irgendwie kommt dieses starke rot nur manchmal auf Fotos zum Vorschein. Es ist eigentlich eher ein dunkles Orange:

Aber das Licht stand anscheinend gut und die Kamera-App hat dann nachträglich wohl den Kontrast noch etwas hochgedreht.

As I understand it the ban in France seems to specifically target real brands. So you can still show people drinking but you’re not allowed to show the logo of e.g. Heineken.

Is this a good regulation? I don’t know, but it might not be as arbitrary as the other comment suggested.

Yes, alcoholism isn’t real and if it were we shouldn’t make it easier for people who try to quit.

I’d also think it would be better to create rules and regulations that are as clear cut as possible and almost impossible to circumvent.

Go after billboards first. I can turn off the TV and avoid websites that have too many ads. I should be able to ignore advertisements in the public space. Clear size limits, don’t allow structures that will only be used for this specific purpose, etc.
