Which they split the diff and call 55% in the strat guide to give you misguided hope. 😔
Yes, yes they did. It's actually a pretty fun watch.
It deals with the licensing fiasco that occurred when the game released.
Many companies saw the potential in the game's popularity and so an all out bidding war/competition for rights occurred between Soviet Government, Bulletproof, Holobyte, Mirrorsoft and most notably Nintendo.
Saw the clips. Not impressed.
Outside of it being a new clickbait trend the movies, the example they are using lose way more because they are totally changing the scene composition.
Consider the attention to detail and visuals in Akira. If they expanded the visuals to be portrait oriented they wouldn't have such drab, empty, uninspired art in the added space. Which is exactly what AI does in this instance. It makes the examples (Akira especially) look less compelling, less focused, and in the event it does have something decently render takes away from the true composition of the shit so it ruins the content of said shot.
My two cents.
"There's content out there that doesn't cater to my superiority as a single-white-male?! It must be the work of the devil!"
Seriously. The movie is killing it because people enjoy watching it.
It's almost like if you tell a bunch of delusional, disenfranchised people exactly what they want to hear for four+ years they tend to not see any faults in what you say or do.
Sorry guys, been using internet explorer; what's this about the year 2000?
I mean...
*gestures around at everything
"Sell me this pen"
"Okay." *takes pen "Write down your name."
"I need a pen."
"Exactly. Supply and demand."
I think that ease of use is the biggest hurdle at the moment. While yeah Mastodon has grown it's also improved quite a bit. The onboarding is much more streamlined versus six months ago.
Those barriers are getting better but are still there for Lemmy. Apps are starting to come which is fantastic but the users need to want to engage with the platform. Streamlined sign up, improved features and UI improvements will need to continue to evolve in order to grow the user base.
I think that to protect creators they either need to be transparent about all content used to train the AI (highly unlikely) or have a disclaimer of liability, wherein if original content has been used is training of AI then the Original Content creator who have standing for legal action.
The only other alternative would be to insure that the AI specifically avoid copyright or trademarked content going back to a certain date.

The new update is horrible. They are blocking critical comments and gaslighting users too.
Sadly it's not even close to the final nail. The largest reason being there isn't anything to take its place. While I love Lemmy, there are still too many hurdles and roadblocks to getting started compared to other social media platforms and all of those established ones are doing similar moves to Reddit's nonsense. But just like why Mastodon hasn't topple Twitter is that the ease of use and user base isn't there.
Until someone can offer the same(ish) experience that almost fully featured and super easy to get start. Most users won't break their habits. They only other way is to offer something that is better than the other platforms (since this can be wildly subjective) again ease of use and standardized features are incredibly important.
Will Twitter, Reddit and Facebook go the way of MySpace? I'm sure at some point. But only until something can truly replace or pull users.
