Same here. Sounds pretty sustainable to me!

Of course the most productive comment is the least upvoted one. EDIT: After thinking about it, maybe it’s best to add an explanation to bare links.

Are you beginning to see things more clearly now?

It’s double speak. The translation is “We are evil and if you say something about what you see, we will silence you.”.

Sure, it’s advantageous in the short-term. I think this is where we misunderstand each other. What I’m trying to say is that under normal circumstances, individuals aren’t maximizing their output. They are just living as part of the community, following the unwritten rules and benefiting from that. (In the prisoner’s dilemma, this would be choice A).

If this is how everyone would act in their daily life, you would see crime, theft and abuse on an unimaginable level. No, people don’t always do what benefits them “at every individual point”. We are social creatures, acting as a community where the individuals benefit from working together. Although this has been successfully undermined by capitalism and other hierarchies.

This whole concept is also called, the Prisoner’s Dilemma, one of my favorite thought experiments because it shows how being rational can result in everyone being worse off.

Yes. The “tragedy of the commons” is a myth.

Without any limits, individual cattle owners have an incentive to overgraze the land, destroying its value to everybody.

This is factually false, because the land will be destroyed and individuals don’t benefit, not even in the short term. Commons work great (see open source software), but capitalism and power structures abuse and destroy them for short-term profit.

What do you think the authors of the video don’t understand? You must have some insights if you say you understand AI better then everyone criticizing it.

Possible unfree licenses for artwork

I’d still consider the game open source, even if the art is copyrighted.

Dwarf Fortress

Is there an open source version? It’s a great game (also try the steam edition if you check it out), but I thought it was closed-source.

osu! is an amazing rhythm game. Try osu!lazer, it’s the new client: https://osu.ppy.sh/home/download

I also like Pioneers and Endless Sky, both space sims.

This might not count, but both Lichess, a chess website, and OGS, a Go website are open source.

There is also Mindustry, but I haven’t played it.

Isn’t this treating the symptoms, not the cause? The real problem here seems to be that militaries and bad actors are killing people they obviously shouldn’t, but it feels like the article just accepts that as something that “downstream users” do.

I’m all for responsible software use, but I think the issue lies deeper than software licensing.

Makes sense. I never used Photoshop, so I don’t know how it compares. It’s been good enough for my needs so far.

If you’re still looking, try Krita, it’s a polished and powerful open source image manipulation program.

I don’t see how rejecting 18th century-style factories or exploitative neural networks is a bad thing. We should have the option of saying “no” to the ideas of capitalists looking for a quick buck. There was an insightful blog post about that but I can’t find it right now…

violations could bring fines worth up to 6 percent of their global revenue – which could amount to billions – or even a ban from the EU.

Not too shabby! Seems like the laws at least have some teeth.
