we don’t know that denuvo ACTUALLY impacts sale numbers by convincing those mean old pirates to buy their game
But we do know it improves sales, that's why every game publisher that can afford it is using it. They have years of data to prove it. What do you have?
This same logic could be used to argue that the government forced people to get the covid vaccine.
Have you ever used cheats on single player games when that was still a thing developers put in games? I did, it was fun. That's why.
Reddit mods should be renamed spez's bitches.
I remember a similar case regarding Windows shipping with IE. Whatever happened with that?
Do you have an example of a technology that is more efficient than human labor, doesn't have those side effects and was successfully held back just to keep jobs?
I tried it on these platforms:
The union negotiations could include in the contract that AI generated actors are not allowed when SAG is involved.
Ok, but if they want to ban all forms of AI then we are no longer just talking about the morally reprehensible example of a studio buying an actor's likeness in perpetuity. They want AI gone even when it's used in a more sensible way which is understandable from their point of view but less so for the rest of us.
They want to pay for an actor’s likeness once then own it for a lifetime.
But isn't trying to forbid those kind of deals doomed to fail? What if the digital actor doesn't look like anybody? What if they scan actors from other countries?
I'm not arguing about the benefits of unionization, my question was about what happens when a machine becomes more efficient than a human worker. Do you think a union could have saved the switchboard operators? How is it any different from this scenario?
Regarding the AI dilemma I have two questions. How is it different from any other time in history when a worker was replaced by a machine, and given the lessons learned, isn't it futile to resist?
In that case the only people that can answer the question are the engineers from those platforms.
Yes, but if you tried to share that mp4 on other platforms it would be treated as a video, and that's why gifs are still relevant.
