  • Industry murmurs suggest Sony will no longer release PS5 exclusives on PC — New leadership might be willing to forgo PC revenue to fortify console platform

    Jump

  • Valve's Steam Deck is produced on a small scale and is only sold directly by Valve and their global sales numbers are lower compared to even even this years sales numbers of other consoles, which is considered to be the worst year for XBOX ever.

    On top of that, new Steam Machine "console" will be sold as a PC and at PC pricing without them subsidizing raw hardware cost. It's simply unsustainable.

  • It's a market with a well defined celling. It always competes against raw hardware cost and you can only subsidize it for so long before you run out money or shareholder confidence.

    I don't think the new high console prices will be sustainable business model going forward.

  • Valve scale is negligible at least for now. They are very far from being a real competitor.

  • Open source license that doesn’t allow your code to be used for AI data training?

    Jump

  • Not sure if you are specifically talking to me, but yeah I do find it strange.

    All the recent lawsuits between tech companies and publishers and people somehow became defenders of publshers when those fuckers are the same people that are exploiting creative people in the first place. Creative people are not the beneficiaries of all these settlements that are happening.

    I think it's all the anger of self-published creators with following who convincing people that they are being destroyed and those people are blindly directing that anger at tech companies not fully understanding the situation.

    Rethinking Legal Workflows with AI Tools

    Jump

  • More and more lawyers are getting sactioned by courts because of these tools as new regulations and strict usage limits are starting to be implemented. Paper trail is critical in legal work and these tools often produce none or obfuscate it which makes the work inadmissible in court.

  • Open source license that doesn’t allow your code to be used for AI data training?

    Jump

  • There are various licenses that do that, but by definition they are not open source. Those two things are mutually exclusive.

  • Spanish Court Orders ProtonVPN and NordVPN to Block Pirate Football Streams

    Jump

  • Of course. Companies have to comply with valid orders, but not every order is legally valid. In this case, neither of the VPN companies were ever valid parties over which court established jurisdiction, making the ruling technically void.

    Outside of that, in Proton case specifically, all foreign orders have to be recognised by a Swiss court to become enforceable. It's one of the claimed reasons for them incorporating the company in Switzerland in the first place.

  • State censorship shapes how Chinese chatbots respond to sensitive political topics, study suggests

    Jump

  • <...> but this is absolutely valued research imo.

    How is stating the obvious for a millionth time which is already backed by multiple other studies of any value? Studies are not free and this is just a waste of money.

  • State censorship shapes how Chinese chatbots respond to sensitive political topics, study suggests

    Jump

  • This is just another study that proves Chinese censorship regarding LLMs. There's ample evidence.

    Right, it's well known that authoritarian China censors what they consider "sensitive topics". So instead of another study that states what is established by their laws which anyone can read, a more useful study would be comparison of how different authoritarian countries approach the same issue.

    There is also ample evidence of US government by private or public pressure making US companies to self-censor their models around political or "national security" topics.

  • State censorship shapes how Chinese chatbots respond to sensitive political topics, study suggests

    Jump

  • I don't think these type of comparisons achieve anything of value. It really feels like the study is trying to prove the desired result instead of trying to prove a blind hypethesis.

    More realistic comparison would be US-developed models answers for levels of censorship related to United States politics vs China-developed models answers for levels of censorship related to Chinese politics.

  • European Commission =/ Spain business court

  • Spanish Court Orders ProtonVPN and NordVPN to Block Pirate Football Streams

    Jump

  • Not true. Business courts only have jurisdiction over companies domiciled in Spain or wider-EU under certain circumstances. Neither ProtonVPN nor NordVPN are domiciled in Spain or EU.

    But even if we ignore that, the fact that the order issused inaudita parte is another procedural grounds to void the order.

  • Spanish Court Orders ProtonVPN and NordVPN to Block Pirate Football Streams

    Jump

  • The order is unenforcable. Spanish courts have no jurisdiction over companies registered in other countries. It's one of the most basic legal concepts, for order to be valid court must have jurisdiction over all parties.
