Good for her, but a lot of mothers are less enthusiastic of seeing their children like that

Why would it make revenge porn less of a thing? Why are so many people here convinced that as long people say it's "fake" it's not going to negatively affect them?

The mouth breathers will never go away. They might even use the excuse the other way around, that because someone could say just about everything is fake, then it might be real and the victim might be lying. Remember that blurry pictures of bigfoot were enough to fool a lot of people.

Hell, even others believe it is fake, wouldn't it still be humilliating?

Well, this very situation shows one can be as careful as they could and they might still have porn of themselves spread everywhere.

Oh I'm sure that must be a very nice thing to talk out with your mother or significant other.

"Don't worry they are plastering naked pictures of me everywhere, it's all fake"

Yeah, I agree. But being evocative of an idea is not illegal, unless the design is near indistinguishable or if they used files from Pokémon in the production of the Pals. Say, how many Superman copies are there? There are multiple stories out there whose main idea is "What if Superman was bad."

Meanwhile I see people going "Anubis is just Lucario" and I wonder why they think the Pokémon Company owns the idea of every single upright canid. It doesn't even have spikes or anything.

In this case it would probably be fought in Japan because both The Pokémon Company and Palworld's developer Pocketpair are from Japan.

It's jarring to see people are taking such pains over what's at worst a knockoff. Have they never played with knockoff toys?

How is it bad faith to point out the comparative scale of the companies involved? I don't think imitating Disney and imitating small independent artists ought to be treated the same way. One might argue this is "principles" but to me that's lacking perspective.

Comparing both games I think a few creatures like Cremis are on shaky ground, but even that might turn out to be fine.

What definitely won't go anywhere is people making mad collages to explain how a pal combines features of such plus such pokémon. They don't seem to realize that Pokémon doesn't own every possible combination of features from those creatures,

Which would be fine, frankly. With all the money Palworld got, they can aford to redesign some creatures. The number of them that actually look like imitations in practice is much smaller than critics make it to be.

And here's why being sarcastic was the right choice. Pointing out the witnessed practical material consequences of DRM is just being "emotional" because for whatever reason you think I'm not allowed to be upset about what I lost, which you have given no argument to prove it doesn't happen, or how to prevent or revert it.

Funny how you quoted every single line except this part

we can still access games that were abandoned by the developers just fine, as long as DRM doesn’t get in the way

Which points out that you can't simply scratch it to company neglect, when neglect alone doesn't take games away from customers. DRM does.

How forgetful of you to miss that part, after being so confused about what you might have glossed over.

Oh well, anyway goodbye.

I don't think you can completely anonymize data and still end up with useful results, because the AI will be faced with human inconsistency and biases regardless. Take away personally identifiable information and it might mysteriously start behaving harsher regarding certain locations, like, you know, districts where mostly black and poor people live.

We'd need to have a reckoning with our societal injustices before we can determine what data can be used for many purposes. Unfortunately many people who are responsible for these injustices are still there, and they will be the people who will determine if the AI output is serving their purpose or not.
