Reply to comment by gurenkagurenda in AI Art Just Got Slapped With A Crucial And Devasting Legal Blow by Skullpt-Art

I expect that the CO will leave all issues regarding the boundaries of what is copyrighted and what is not to the litigants in much the same way that patent 'quality' issues are left to litigants. So really, not much is changing other than the strengthening of the idea that non-persons cannot be the author of copyrightable works.

Generations of law students will write on to their law reviews by rehashing this issue. Yecch.

Reply to comment by SidewaysFancyPrance in PC GPU Shipments Drop 35% Year-over-Year in Q4 2022: Report by Stiven_Crysis

I don't think its sustainable. Okay fewer units, higher margin, same profits right? But a few years down the road, fewer units meant fewer customers, right?

Fewer customers for them also means fewer customers buying PC games.

Which means less incentive and funding to the publishers and developers of PC games.

Which means a reduction in the quality and/or quantity of PC games.

Which reduces the incentive to pay the bloated prices to stay in PC gaming.

Which means fewer units shipped.

I think that having a drastic reduction in GPU sales should be a cause for alarm for the entire PC gaming industry and beyond. Maybe its just because of the glut of used cards. Maybe its the prices. Probably both and other reasons all together.

I think that if the number of units shipped stays deflated, they're gonna have some major problems.

nVidia stock over the last year is up 65%, they seem to know what they're doing. The same thing was said when the 3000 series was massively over MSRP, didn't affect nVidia if anything it actually helped them get even bigger profits.

You say the market has been unfriendly for 10 years, in the last 5 years nVidia stock went up 300%, back in 2012 nVidia stock was around $3 now it's sitting at $236.90, they're doing fine.

I heard it described this way once: IT is not a value creator, it is a value multiplier. That works in both directions. Shit IT can eliminate the most productive employee's contributions, & the proper wizarding department can automate a ton of hair pulling to let your employees do what they do best.
