Is it really not true? How many companies have been training their models using art straight out of the Internet while completely disregarding their creative licences or asking anyone for permission? How many times haven't people got a result from a GenAI model that broke IP rights, or looked extremely similar to an already existing piece of art, and would probably get people sued? And how many of these models have been made available for commercial purposes?

The only logical conclusion is that GenAI steals art because it has been constantly "fed" with stolen art.

Actually interesting article

They explained what they're trying to do, but they didn't explain the how, and that annoyed me. Why do we have to wait for the countdown to know actual relevant information about this project?

They probably did, but you pretty much need to pay the guys behind the Guiness book for them to give you the record (there's a form where you can apply for certain records for free, but it's commonly disregarded by the Guiness guys afaik)

This is so funny

Ah yes, please do complain about it in a community that has nothing to do with it!

The article is way longer than it should be

Yeah, you can't pop on a PS2 disk into a PS5 and have the game running as if it were a PS2, that's not what's happening. They are instead giving two downloadable PS2 games to PS Plus Premium subscribers that can run on the PS5 via the "magic" we call emulation. Something similar has already happened in the PS4, where they sold PS2 games digitally. What is being discussed here is that the emulator (the program that allows PS2 games to run on other hardware) that is being used on the PS5 isn't good and doesn't have much effort put into.

Side note: there are two important factors on whether or not it would be possible to put PS2 discs on a PS5 and play them directly. The first one is whether or not the PS5's disk drive supports DVDs (PS2's disc format). Fortunalely, this checks out. The other factor is Sony's willingness to make the PS5 recognize PS2 discs and play them via emulation. It's not like Sony would make any money with such efforts, so don't expect them to do this anytime soon.

This is a clickbait article that summarises this article, which is itself inspired by this podcast episode.

So cool
So connected

They look like magic balls
