The Writers Strike - Ep. 103 of Intentionally Blank 

Haha. Nice.

😂

Awesome Lolz

That would not surprise me

Honestly I thought he had already received it

It's as long awaited as DiCaprio's oscar

He can arrange letters in symmetrical patterns, and he even makes up fancy new glyphs.

Thank you

Thank you.

this is hilarious to me that this is necessary.

Depends on how lively social life is in the river. Even with moderate population of birds and fish, can't imagine pasta not being eaten long before it would theoretically dissolve.

Reminds me of this homer quote: In theory communism works.

So the writers can hold the jobs of innocent people hostage.

@@tennesseeponderer3146 They are simply exercising the power that executives normally hold and use on a daily basis to suppress wages.

See my other reply, but color blind is kind of an outdated term. True color blindness (literally cannot see color) is called achromatopsia and is connected to profound visual dysfunction. What most "color blind" people have is really color deficiency. These people can see in color (not grayscale) but have difficulty distinguishing between certain shades depending on which color receptors (cones) are present and/or damaged. Color deficient people generally have otherwise normal vision.

@@danielcreviston9867 don't know why you said all that... Literally changes nothing, but okay I guess. Thanks for elaborating further?

@@Squiggly6942 You commented on my comment to just to tell me what I said changes nothing? Classy.

@@danielcreviston9867 brother, you are delusional. You replied to my comment. This is the reply thread under MY original comment... Are you okay?

Who gets to determine fair wages

But you can see them looking at each other...

I recall their being at least one famous movie example where they managed to get all three, but for the life of me can't remember what it was.

I believe it was Hot Fuzz? Cinema wins said it was in his video on the movie. Shot in three months, budget of 12 million, and well, we all get to decide if it was high quality :) But the important thing is that it’s the exception that proves the rule.

Who’s to say the non guild member doesn’t do a better job writing

@@tennesseeponderer3146 a friend of mine named “what happened during the 2008 writer’s guild strike” told me so

@@Pablo360able you assume that the 2008 writers and the writers of today are of equal quality. This assumpation is generally false, but I will give you that there is no reason to assume the scabs will be any better...

@@oahtobar1355 I assure you, there was as much bad writing leading up to the 2008 strike as there was leading up to this one. Didn't mean the scabs weren't a noticeable downgrade.

Been rewatching DS9 - I thought the same thing. I'm pretty sure Garak would go in on a good heist in the right circumstances

Brandon does love DS9, so I wouldn't put it past him to be making that joke here. I can't tell if he did it intentionally or not though

Garek might make Bashir a suit made of fruit roll ups.

Unfortunately that's not how an AI works. It doesn't go looking for specifics it can crib, it slurps up the dataset and takes the aggregate of what it finds. It can't point to any one source in its answers, because it's reading literally all of them.

By that logic any writer would have to list all influences for their writing, if it wouldn’t count as plagiarizing if a human did it it shouldn’t if an AI does the same thing.

@@tennesseeponderer3146 1)AI aren’t people. It is a tool. We’re not talking about sentient life. 2) People get in trouble if their creations are too close to their inspirations. If AI is making the creative process more efficient, then it should also be audited just as efficiently to make sure it doesn’t cross the line of plagiarism. 3) I’m more forgiving of people with passion for creativity than a literally soulless algorithm designed to put those creative people out of work.

​@@calebmarmon1310 3 is incorrect, AI wasn’t made to do that, even if people use it to do that, it was not made for that purpose. ChatGPT was made as a "research preview" for instance. I know using true facts is difficult, I struggle with it too, but it is simply a must. As for 2, the auditing can occur on finalized products, we don’t need to know what influences an AI has, we only need to know if it is plagiarizing another work or not. This can simply be done by looking at what the AI output is and comparing it to any potential originals, no citation necessary. I agree with 1 in isolation, but it is used to refute the idea that the same process to vet human work should be different than the one used to vet AI work. This is the fundamental issue here and it really seems to me that people are afraid of a dead dragon. Plagiarism is already illegal; no specialized process needs to exist for AI work. In 2 it is stated that "AI should also be audited just as efficiently as normal works", but in the original comment it is stated there is an ethical obligation for EXTRA regulations on AI work that normal artist don’t have to deal with. There is no need to cite inspirations, only direct quotes. If anything, the internet facilitates more plagiarism, piracy, and IP theft, on its own than AI could ever dream of doing. The internet nigh single-handedly reshaped the music industry through piracy and that happened quite some time ago now. Nevermind how unfathomably easy it is, without any AI involvement, to right-click on an art piece hit "copy image" repost that image on Instagram or something and say, "here's a quick sketch I drew, now donate to my patreon." The only thing I can think of AI making worse is accidental plagiarism where the prompter doesn’t know that the output is too similar to an already existing piece.

Kratos found the Spaghetti Monster. He flies no more.

No, just lazy or uninterested in continuing their books.

Hahaha, was looking for this comment. Turns out they just went on strike and forgot to tell anyone!
