Yeah, pretty good reason, actually. It's not like indie devs are generally known to be swimming in pools of money.

[–] Kaligalis@lemmy.world 1 points 3 hours ago

Yes. With AI-using indie devs it's really just like with YouTube woodworkers who use a Festool Domino for their joinery. As long as they aren't actually sponsored by Festool in any way, they can still be independent.

If people can detect it as AI it shouldn't have passed the quality check. People will happily buy games from the most awful and immoral companies if they like the game.
Those indies don't get canceled for using AI - they get canceled for a lack of quality control.

This could poison the well for this category of wireless headphones. People will just assume that all AirPod wearers are glassholes.

Amazon is the shop, I go to when I can't find it literally anywhere else.
The search is dysfunctional. The shipping information assumes a Prime subscription. There is constantly some try-hard upsell-advertising. And Amazon is usually not even competitive on price. The emails don't even matter - I download the invoices.

Ad blocking is too important to depend on a browser vendor for it.
uBlock Origin kept updating basically just-in-time in the great YouTube ad war. No browser vendor can or even just tries to match that level of dedication and quality. Ad blocking needs to be pluggable - also because of SponsorBlock which is essential for YouTube.

Yeah, but it does run uBlock Origin, renders web pages just fine, can do WebRTC, and even has support for bookmarks and pinned tabs. What else do you want from a web browser?

Chrome's advantages were in the security and performance departments. But Firefox isn't that much worse.

[–] Kaligalis@lemmy.world 5 points 1 week ago

That's the only reason, I use it. And I knew Firefox would be the only one remaining when I switched to it the very moment, Chromium stopped supporting uBlock Origin.

That sounds a bit like it conflicts with the actual job of the LLM. And the resulting watermark would be way too fuzzy to be actually useful for flagging anything as AI-generated.
Are they just trying to check a box on some compliance checklist?

When other corps see that Facebook ads are unblockable they will copy the mechanism and uBlock Origin will become useless.

[–] Kaligalis@lemmy.world 4 points 1 week ago (2 children)

uBlock Origin really needs to find a way to define content-based rules for sites which use DOM randomization. After all, the ads still have places where they can go and ad content is structurally always very different from actual content.
If they let Facebook win, YouTube will do it next. And a year later, uBlock Origin will have stopped working on half the web.

Not really news. France has these problems every summer since decades. It's a common problem of river-cooled power plants. The obvious solution is to build them at the coast - like in Fukushima.
