BBC has presence and offices in the US, which are held liable for conduct within the US. IANAL, but I imagine legally speaking, you can even hold them liable for content hosted in the US on servers there, perhaps going as far as content that is served to the US. Suing them is just the beginning of the legal process to legally do with that liability as they wish, like removing their servers/access in the US.
I must admit, this is quite cool! I doubt I’ll be buying it, as I have no particular need for this kind of mobility enhancement, but I’m sure there are plenty of people who could greatly benefit from equipment like this. This collaboration has the potential to greatly boost sales, which down the road will mean more money and effort being put into this technology becoming more widely available.
And imagine getting this thing as part of your Collector’s Edition!

I had the opposite experience the other day. I believe learning a language has plenty of ups and down depending on the people around you.
I surely sounded incredibly like a newbie, but I was asked in English, and I managed to find words that made sense in the other language. I took it simply word by word, skipping grammatical correctness and not caring about how unnaturally the sentence was constructed, added a swear word as a substitute for a noun I didn’t know, and it all worked out! I was understood, and I was even indirectly praised by one present who didn’t speak English! That made me feel encouraged to learn more, so that I can continue to impress!
This is after a lot of demotivating events however, so that made the upswing just even more powerful!
They’re using Unreal Engine 5 for this one, iirc.
Yupp! I probably should’ve specified that I’ve seen the use in English, but it is indeed still in use in Icelandic! It stems from Old Norse, as a rune, iirc. Icelandic is the closest we have to Old Norse in today’s used languages.
I agree with the personalizing! I have a friend who wasn’t very good in English, so he masked it with leetspeak, and now that has simply become his style. It’s a bit of a hurdle getting used to it, but it’s rather intuitive, fortunately.
Thanks for chiming in!
I’m indeed curious whether it actually has an effect on the training, although my gut tells me that it’s very negligible.
Tbf, I can agree that the use of þ and/or ð could possibly make the written language a bit easier to translate into spoken (clear distinction between voiced and unvoiced). However, there are worse things about the English language that probably could need some addressing first, like thou, tough, though, thought, and thorough.
Ah, in that sense! I think it’s about is inefficient as the other reason honestly. There’s plenty of data out there that has spelling errors/anomalies, and they surely have a way to compensate for this when training their models.
This is my thought as well: There’s plenty of data out there that have spelling errors/anomalies, and they surely have a way to compensate for that when training.
Spot on the user I saw it from just now! Must be quite the active user then, as I keep bumping into comments using this character…
Ah, makes sense, kinda. Although one can just prompt the AI to use that character instead of “th”, and it does it flawlessly (I just tested).
Though the process is also something that is subject to external validation?
Say I’m learning to drive, but I keep failing the test. The goal/achievement is the end result; driver’s license. However my process of getting to that goal is sub-par compared to others, or “the average”. I’m stuck in the process itself, having many more lessons than others, but I have no apparent reason to struggle? Isn’t that infuriating?
I have to disagree a bit with the efficacy of this method.
I myself have been told that I’m very understanding for people who try and learn something new, or do something I already know how to. However when the roles are switched, I can’t help but to hold myself to a higher standard than I hold others, and I end up pissing on myself for having such a hard time doing something others seem to have such an easy time with. Personal example is learning a language: I’m such a slow learner, still being A1 after three years, while I have a friend who got to B1 in 9 months. And I keep thinking things like “why do I struggle so much retaining this simple information? I must be putting a weak effort into this…”, while my friends are like “Keep going! You’re doing great!”. I can’t help but consider it mocking, like “aw, it’s adorable that you try so hard, and are still a noob!”, even though that is something neither of us actually think.
It works well as a form of motivation though, albeit slightly toxic.
I try to compare myself with my previous self, but that I find near-impossible, for some reason.
Depends on the method, but a lot of normies find these pirate websites where you stream directly through a player on their website, and here they can serve ads, i.e. get money. Pirate Bay and the like also serves ads.
Both of these games are very well made, but they both cater to a special type of gamer.
Elden Ring being incredibly well designed as an introduction to souls-likes, it still has the mechanics and difficulty like most of From Software’s games, with slight variation. If you’re not a gamer who likes overcoming a challenge, the game is likely not for you.
Death Stranding I think is quite the unique game, but much thanks to its weirdness. It has a lot of curious elements to it, but its incredibly story heavy. With different difficulty options you can make it a very casual experience, but it can be quite slow at times still. If you don’t like several dozen hours of cutscenes, the game might not be for you.
This is something I’d love to have for the past decade or so, but as I’m now transitioning to Linux I hope to not have much of this problem anymore.
Nice of you to create this though, and I share your tiredness of settings being changed behind our backs…
I’m also curious about this. If there are any transparency reports, I’d love to read through that.
The Wikimedia Foundation are trying to implement some AI solutions (for helping humans, not write articles/information), which is likely quite costly, unless someone donates it. However, I imagine many others’ scrapers for AI are constantly demanding a lot from the Wikipedia servers since some years ago, probably resulting in increased costs. Hopefully the AI builders use a local copy of the torrent instead, but I fear they don’t…
I’m still happily donating though, as I think the Wikipedia Foundation are still doing a solid job, despite me not always agreeing with their decisions.
Isn’t it “snuck”, and not “sneaked”?
Anyhow, I’d agree with both parties: AI generated art can be considered a form of art, but not in the same league. Just like you have people who perform sports with “artificial enhancers” are separated from the naturals.
