Carjacking is going to mean something completely different with those Samsung car robots out in the wild.
Also, imagine going home after a vacation and your house is just gone. (Yes I can see that they prepared the ground first, and I think your neighbor’s house driving down the street would raise some flags)
But seriously, this is really impressive. Great job Samsung and Shanghai Construction No 2!
Any clue if it’s open source? That seems like a good opportunity to spread it further and maybe get external support for an Android port.
I can’t wait to see some Final Fantasy cards in standard now.
To be clear, not because I like FF or UB. I actually get pretty annoyed by UB. I just want to see some new decks get played.
Counterspell feels like one of those cards that you’d think is legal but for some reason it’s not. With Historic’s current power level, it makes way more sense for it to be there now than when it was added to Arena with Strixhaven.
I’d love to see WOTC take the hammer to standard. It’d make it more fun for me at least.
I think my list is at minimum Monstrous Rage, Cori Steel-Cutter, Manifold Mouse, Stormchaser’s Talent. Following that:
Decks I think will rise are the bounce deck, hopefully a goblin deck for red (instead of the BS we have now), maybe jeskai prowess(?), jeskai control, dimir control, and some reanimator strategies that weren’t as viable before. Boros tokens coming back could be interesting too.
The latest round of “stuff I wasn’t informed would be installed for me” included enough software to switch me to Linux. I’m still dual booting during the transition, but moving fully over when I can.
I honestly used to love Windows too. Windows 10 was great, and 11 had problems but was still very usable on the happy path and came with some great improvements over time. These days, it’s just so full of bloatware. I just want my damn computer to be mine, and I’d hope an OS license that retails for $200 would be enough to get them to stop advertising to me and shoving shit down my throat but I guess not.
Word and Powerpoint are good too, but there’s some real competition there these days. I haven’t needed those on my personal PC in years though, so that’s never been a problem for me, and it’ll continue to not be a problem as long as that software continues to require a subscription.
Insert “good bot” comment here
You can see if a friend can run an inferencing server for you. Maybe someone you know can run Open WebUI or something?
AI at Microsoft has not been optional for months.
This is org-specific and role-specific, but it’s becoming more and more pushed onto people (as is evident by this article).
when they need to find someone’s department
This information is both present in most internal communication tools (org chart), and in the internal directory. Hopefully your friend found it.
Everything else sounds horrible, and I hope your friend is doing better now.
(Sauce: “I know a guy”)
Quoting the analysis in the ruling:
Authors also complain that the print-to-digital format change was itself an infringement not abridged as a fair use (Opp. 15, 25).
In other words, part of what is being ruled is whether digitizing the books was fair use. Reinforcing that:
Recall that Anthropic purchased millions of print books for its central library… [further down past stuff about pirated copies] Anthropic purchased millions of print copies to “build a research library” (Opp. Exh. 22 at 145, 148). It destroyed each print copy while replacing it with a digital copy for use in its library (not for sharing nor sale outside the company). As to these copies, Authors do not complain that Anthropic failed to pay to acquire a library copy. Authors only complain that Anthropic changed each copy’s format from print to digital (see Opp. 15, 25 & n.15).
Bold text is me. Italics are the ruling.
Further down:
Was scanning the print copies to create digital replacements transformative? [skipping each party’s arguments]
Here, for reasons narrower than Anthropic offers, the mere format change was fair use.
The judge ruled that the digitization is fair use.
Notably, the question about fair use is important because of what the work is being used for. These are being used in a commercial setting to make money, not in a private setting. Additionally, as the works were inputs into the LLM, it is related to the judge’s decision on whether using them to train the LLM is fair use.
Naturally the pirated works are another story, but this article is about the destruction of the physical copies, which only happened for works they purchased. Pirating for LLMs is unacceptable, but that isn’t the question here.
The ruling does go on to indicate that Anthropic might have been able to get away with not destroying the originals, but destroying them meant that the format change was “more clearly transformative” as a result, and questions around fair use are largely up to the judge’s opinion on four factors (purpose of use, nature of the work, amount of work used, and effect of use on the market).
The print original was destroyed. One replaced the other. And, there is no evidence that the new, digital copy was shown, shared, or sold outside the company. [The question about LLM use is earlier in the ruling] This use was even more clearly transformative than those in Texaco, Google, and Sony Betamax (where the number of copies went up by at least one), and, of course, more transformative than those uses rejected in Napster (where the number went up by “millions” of copies shared for free with others).
… Anthropic already had purchased permanent library copies (print ones). It did not create new copies to share or sell outside.
TL;DR: Destroying the original had an effect on the judge’s decision and increased the transformativeness of digitizing the books. They might have been fine without doing it, but the judge admitted that it was relevant to the question of fair use.
The books were purchased and destroyed to digitize them. There is nothing wrong with digitizing a work. The books were destroyed because duplicating a work without permission is illegal, but destroying the original means that there is only one copy in the end still.
The LLM training is the problem. This is not.
I never really got into commander either, but the bracket system makes it more appealing to me at least. No need to worry that someone’s just going to go off turn 2 when going against a sand tribal deck, a madness deck, and a mono green control deck.
Either way, standard always interested me the most, but they absolutely shafted standard so now if I play it’s basically just brawl these days because of the matchmaker.
Draft is fun as well, just expensive to get into :(
If everything got updated like this, then that’s an awesome change. What made Aero so nice was that it didn’t interfere with legibility, while Glass threw legibility out the window. Striving for a proper foreground to background contrast ratio should be the bare minimim for a company like Apple, and this improves that significantly.
Beans is insane, but rotation might fix that deck. Overlord Beans will still be a deck, but you lose Leyline Binding, and Ride’s End isn’t close to being a replacement.
I could see Beans being banned, but I think I would be willing to see what it does post-rotation first.
Omniscience is strong but gets bodied by GY hate. It’s just too hard to run counters to decks other than aggro because while Omniscience wins on turn 4, these aggro decks win on turn 3 (or practically win, just short a burn spell). I don’t think it needs anything done to it. It also isn’t really new to have a fast combo deck. The consistency is the main issue, and I’d rather see Ephara’s Dispersal banned before Omniscience or Abuelo’s Awakening. If standard slows down enough for a control deck to exist, it’ll naturally push Omniscience combo down the tier list.
WOTC tried too hard to sell cards and ended up breaking standard to the point that no new sets can even make an impact anymore. I know they won’t fix it if the previous B&R says anything, but IMO they need to go full Eldraine on this format and ban a ton of cards before it’ll be fixed.
What’s wrong with 3.13?
Converting CSV to JSON is probably just a matter of translating column names to property and wrapping them all in a list. But if that’s the case, it may be worth opening an issue on FreeTube to have the docs and code updated.
It’s the EFF. They’re not neutral. They advocate for stuff - that’s their whole thing.
My guess is white. We already have blue and green as far as I remember, leaving white, red, and black.
Reprint of Extinction Event?
Combat trick token? I doubt it does direct damage, but a combat trick (like tap+sac for +1/+0 until end of turn) seems possible.
Definitely an Eldrazi card. New Emrakul?
So a Sliver.
Edit since I got a chance to read the rest:
New scissors card?
Crucible of Worlds reprint would fit really well here.
… Warp X, where X is ??? I’m guessing.
Llurgoyf card probably, especially since it’s an elemental. Probably 2-3 mana?
