I really want absolutely no part of people who don't understand code using LLMs to submit things they don't understand. That's a disaster waiting to happen at best.

If you don't understand every line you're submitting completely, you should not be submitting code. It absolutely does need to be restricted to people who know what they're doing.

They see no issue paying now.

When there's no content left they'll eventually notice it's a shit deal.

The soldered components are because space.

The framework is fine, but it's an entirely different class of product that's not even sort of in the same neighborhood of portability, and doesn't compete at much else either. The only way you're getting your money's worth is if you actually do use it and its bad display for a bunch of generations.

People are buying Apple laptops because they're by far the best at what they are, to the point that there isn't a single competitor that's not laughable to compare to it.

lol it actually is what I wanted it to be.

It's a mechanically reasonably modern (it feels very comparable to Deus Ex or Cyberpunk gunplay/stealth wise, with better perk/level-up design) Bethesda RPG. You have to fly around more because it's set in space and most of space is empty, but there are still a lot of places to go and it's easy to get sucked down a rabbit hole.

My complaints are pretty mild. I'd like some kind of speeder for the empty "run a mile" bits, I miss the aimless wandering of terrestrial maps and kind of wish there had been some places set up to feel like that, and I occasionally see issues with texture loading. But it's the game the direct said it was going to be, and I'm personally very happy with it (though if it could get cleaned up enough to run a little better on my steam deck I wouldn't complain).

M1 is just a synonym for Apple Silicon at this point.

It could also be affected by the lowest entry point on M2 being higher than M1 was, but I'm pretty sure there isn't any "M1 is better than M2" energy happening.

There isn't another viable option with just the performance/battery life combination, before even considering the excellent build quality, etc. Repairability has a major cost to space. They're in direct conflict. You can't do the form factor and have user repairable parts.

Buy a giant, bulky laptop that still can't match the performance for a full day of use if you want, but there isn't anything even in the same space as the Apple Silicon MacBooks, let alone competitive in that space.

Yeah the matching donations was the obvious answer. It's honestly a decent way to do charity as a company (obviously bigger ticket contributions are good, too), because it rewards them for their choices by increasing their value, and your contributions are going places that have some support behind them from your employees. Finding worthwhile causes that don't get money has value, but it's really hard and expensive to do.

That doesn't feel legal. They're blatantly using their market position to suppress competition for the sole purpose of suppressing competition.

Fuck Facebook as much as them, but if you're going to cheat that hard you're supposed to at least give yourself some kind of plausible deniability, like Google's "we're not trying to monopolize spying on users; we're trying to protect user privacy and prevent bots from harassing websites" to push their DRM shit.

Seeing how other pictures are framed is exactly identical to seeing how other stories are written.

If they've seen prior art, yes, they are. It's literally not possible to be exposed to the history of art and not have everything you output be derivative in some manner.

Processing and learning from copyrighted material is not restricted by current copyright law in any way. It cannot be infringement, and shouldn't be able to be infringement.

There is literally not one single piece of art that is not derived from prior art in the past thousand years. There is no theoretical possibility for any human exposed to human culture to make a work that is not derived from prior work. It can't be done.

Derivative work is not copyright infringement. Straight up copying someone else's work directly and distributing that is.

It's complete and utter nonsense and they're bad people for writing it. The complexity of the AI does not matter and if it did, they're setting themselves up to lose again in the very near future when companies make shit arbitrarily complex to meet their unhinged fake definitions.

But none of it matters because literally no part of this in any way violates copyright law. Processing data is not and does not in any way resemble copyright infringement.
