If AI is only a "parrot" as you say, then why should there be worries about extinction from AI?

You should look closer who is making those claims that "AI" is an extinction threat to humanity. It isn't researchers that look into ethics and safety (not to be confused with "AI safety" as part of "Alignment"). It is the people building the models and investors. Why are they building and investing in things that would kill us?

AI doomers try to 1. Make "AI"/LLMs appear way more powerful than they actually are. 2. Distract from actual threats and issues with LLMs/"AI". Because they are societal, ethical, about copyright and how it is not a trustworthy system at all. Cause admitting to those makes it a really hard sell.

I just hope Anno gets out of this in a good state. 1800 is probably the best one, if I ignore my nostalgia for 1602.

To me that is the problem and why I'll probably cancel with this price hike. I don't want more. I got YT Premium for YouTube, mostly to support creators, cause fuck watching Ads. But I have to pay for Music, Podcasts and whatever other garbage they try to stuff in there. It was the same with Prime. I don't want to watch your stupid series, I just want free shipping, twitch prime and occasionally an old movie.

Sorry for the rant but these stupid subscription "bundles" are so annoying. The whole ecosystem is becoming shittier every year.

I mean steam doesn't care what you executable you start for a game. So they could just run any other program instead. Doesn't feel like any real new tbh

Not sure how Japanese law has anything to do with this. I'm pretty sure under US law (the one that ultimately matters for streaming) leaves all the rights of recorded videos of the game with the right holders of the game. That you're allow to record/stream games at all has no legal precedent, it's just a wise business decision by publisher to not forbid it (anymore).

And legality aside. As a dev I wouldn't want racist or bigoted streamers to show my game and make money off of my work. Same with leakers. Sure for a big company I don't care but if someone leaked an indie devs work, we would consider it a dick move as well.

Unless I'm missing something, the post is plain wrong in some parts. You can't POST to a Cross-Site API because the browser will send a CORS preflight first before sending the real request. The only way around that are iirc form submits, for that you need csrf protection.

Also the CORS proxy statement is wrong if I don't misunderstand their point. They don't break security because they are obviously not the cookie domain. They're the proxy domain so the browser will never send cookies to it.

Anyways, don't trust the post or me. Just read https://owasp.org/ for web security advice.

It is literally just Nvidia Encoder. So hardware encoding on Nvidia GPUs. What codes are supported depends on the GPU
