True, and it was difficult even back then too. Thousands of people trying to "make it" on YouTube and only a few being successful relative to that. And they grew at a time where YouTube wasn't as strict about the content that can be monetized or promoted.

People complain that proprietary plugins only work with the open-source tool they they're contributing to, and your answer is to switch to another tool where the plugins are still unsupported? How does that make any sense or help?

You just went full retard.

OK, and how many people liked Daisy Ridley's character? Her toys sat on store shelves until they went on clearance, and they were even a tough sell after that. That's true for nearly every character in their trilogy.

Disney still doesn't understand Star Wars if their plan is use DOA characters to revive a series that has lost half its fan-base. They may be shooting for new fans, but clearly that didn't work too well the first time around.

I mean there isn't much character growth that can be written into a character who is already perfect and the best at everything.

Which part of the doll represents childhood memories and a love for beloved characters?

Right. But instead, he chose to walk away with $16+ million, and has since garnered an estimated $48 million for similar exploits. All of this from a country that he has no association with.

What a moron. He'll be living like a king somewhere and will never be able to go to the US. That stupid mofo, what has he done?!?!?

I can't imagine being sued for stealing someones gold in a video game by exploiting some bad coding to take it, completely hack free. That's all this is.

Non-competes are void everywhere in the US. What does anything have to do with California? I don't think people in the UK are going to apply for a work visa and move to the US solely to dodge their non-compete agreements. That's almost laughable.

What are you talking about? UK workers aren't going to try and find jobs in California, US.

If they were going to look for a job in the USA, then why would they limit that search to just California? The US FTC declared non-competes as unenforceable and void. That has little to do with CA. They're void everywhere in the US.

So what does being "Woke Clowns" have to do with anything? The UK is notoriously woke where this stuff is happening. I don't see how that could make any kind of argument against being woke. I don't see how this is even related.

Please, Gen X will ignore it since it'll just be a lecture full of Disney's political allegory.

Ok. And why do people hate it? Is it a result of a coin toss?

Can you really blame people for not even wanting to waste their money at this point? Those 99% who haven't watched it are probably assuming that it's similar to 99% of Disney's previous films and tv shows, which were utter garbage and filled with identity politics. Are you saying that this film is not filled with their political allegory? Because that's not what Disney or the actors have been telling everyone. That's why it's gotten such a huge negative reception.

And just because you like something, it doesn't mean that the other 99% will too. In fact that's Disney's problem. They produce content that is heavily catered toward a small political niche, and then they act surprised that only half or less of their potential audience watch it.

It's almost been a decade of this and they still act surprised with every flop.

What do you mean "unequal treatment that is easily shown"? Statistically, it's the complete opposite of what you say. If it's so easily shown, then why is it that nobody can ever show examples? They can only show edge cases, or just cry crocodile tears and play the victim.

Again, your post is proving my point. Crying victim while blaming a straw man as proof while informing me of who the real victims are. Just hilarious.

How about adding features that people want first? Who has requested this? You took away the ability to have a second row of icons on the taskbar and also the ability to have tool bars. These are very useful features that have existed for 25 years and for whatever reason you now think is useless.

Not everything needs to be added under menus upon menus. Adding 2-3 more clicks to get something done isn't productive. I'm not talking about just the taskbar here, but this seems to be the MS way. Add more red tape and hide things within menus upon menus to make them more difficult to find.

Ok, I'm done with my Windows 11 rant.

Yeah. How dare they use the same tactics that has practically always been abused by the left, especially over the last 15 years. That's not fair!

Your post even implies that YOU know who the "real" victims are while you're complaining about victim-hood. The irony in your comment is hilarious, and the fact that you're completely oblivious to it is icing on the cake.

I wish I can mod you up. But people don't like it when you don't swing against the right side of politics.

And this topic seems like a pow wow for a bunch of butthurt Musk haters.

Musk is running the country? I thought only people natively born in America can be president.

Oh, you mean he's currently working for the government? Ok, but if your employer tells you that you need to sell off all your assets because you're going to work for them, does that not seem idiotic to you?

And you think that it's all or nothing? Like they can't create a story or cut-scenes, but use AI to generate the gameplay? How do you know the levels would be endless? How do you know that restrictions can't be added in place? The article was about how it generated existing content.

The point is that you're interacting with a video, and AI is becoming better at generating videos. The "AI clone" of the game is not rendering via traditional graphics engines or even via a game engine. It's not performing physics or anything like that. Assets were also injected using images rather than being fully modeled.

They're showcasing the fact that their AI is taking user input in near-realtime and then generating an image that closely reflects what the real game's video had looked like. If you instruct an AI how a game should look and play, and can inject content via pictures instead of modeling them, then the production cost of a game would be quite significantly reduced.
