Do people actually pay for Paramount+? I figured people just got it for free with Walmart+.

Now the question is who did it better, 8-bit guy or Technology Connections?

AI generated csam is still csam.

Idk, with real people the determination on if someone is underage is based on their age and not their physical appearance. There are people who look unnaturally young that could legally do porn, and underage people who look much older but aren't allowed. It's not about their appearance, but how old they are.

With drawn or AI-generated CSAM, how would you draw that line of what's fine and what's a major crime with lifelong repercussions? There's not an actual age to use, the images aren't real, so how do you determine the legal age? Do you do a physical developmental point scale and pick a value that's developed enough? Do you have a committee where they just say "yeah, looks kinda young to me" and convict someone for child pornography?

To be clear I'm not trying to defend these people, but it seems like trying to determine what counts legal/non-legal for fake images seems like a legal nightmare. I'm sure there are cases where this would be more clear cut (if they ai generate with a specific age, trying to do deep fakes of a specific person, etc), but a lot of it seems really murky when you try to imagine how to actually prosecute over it.

That was a common issue for me on an older build of steamOS, but I almost never have any issues with it anymore. Sorry to hear you're still having issues with it.

Assuming it still works, you can always startup desktop mode nested within game mode, and that will have it running through Wayland.

What dock issue are you having?

That does sound super annoying. There's actually a Decky plugin that will let you delete the shader cache, might be worth using for the easier game-mode access.

Elden Ring just updated a day ago for the DLC, and it introduced multiple issues. If you haven't played a lot of sessions in the past day you probably wouldn't have noticed the issue.

What storage issue are you talking about?

Finally. It was announced in 2017, and then development was restarted in 2019.

I hope it will be worth the wait.

Other people are making good counter arguments, so I'm just going to address one bit:

You can also look at how despite charging a 12% platform fee, Epic Games Store does not sell games 18% cheaper.

Epic hasn't been running their game store for very long, and they've been operating it at a loss to secure market share. They lose hundreds of millions of dollars a year on their store. This is mostly due to them buying exclusive rights to games, but my point is that the EGS is not a successful, self sustaining business. Epic taking a 12% cut doesn't mean that 12% is enough money, because their whole business model is about losing money to attract users.

You also have to remember that the storefront cut is an upfront cost with an unclear long-term cost. Valve is promising to always host the game and cover the bandwidth for every future download and update, no matter how many updates or how many times someone downloads it. Not to mention that they also will host mods, provide matchmaking, video streaming, and many other benefits.

No, the version they released isn't the full parameter set, and it's leading to really bad results in a lot of prompts. You get dramatically better results using their API version, so the full sd3 model is good, but the version we have is not.

Here's an example of SD3 API version:

And here's the same prompt on the local weights version they released:

People think stability AI censored NSFW content in the released model, which has crippled its ability to understand a lot of poses and how anatomy works in general.

For more examples of the issues with SD3, I'd recommend checking this reddit thread.
