Not everything done in the name of accesility makes it accessible to all, nor does accessibility have a necessary correlation with 'good design'.
That's not to say we should't strive for both and require accesible solutions, but let's not pretend putting lightswitches 40" from the floor or those bumpy concrete pads in grocery store parking lots are better for everyone.
Copyright fair use rules are tools designed to govern how humans use protected works in dervied works. AI is not human use, therefore the rules are only coincidentally correct for AI use where it even is.
They thought "Well, I guess this makes me one of those people for whom "Not talking about politics with Friends" becomes a core tenent to my personal philosophy."
I mean, I think there is a signifigant portion of video game players that could have told you Starfield and RedFall would underwhelm.. Bethesda players clearly want, nay are begging for more Elder Scrolls and Fallout main line games.
I know Bethesda wanted a new IP, but literally their audience was begging them to make the stuff they want to play faster and it seems like they ignored it, at their peril.
Agree on everything else, just salty at Bethesda for dropping the ball. I'd also add Valve to the list somewhere as another weird example because they make far too much money distributing games to have as strong an appetite for making them despite a pretty good track record (The hardware... maybe another story)
worth noting that without cell service, GPS can reliably give you time, lat, long and elevation. So if previously you had no actual map downloaded, or an old or out of date map, you'd just get a pretty accurate dot on an inaccurate map, or just raw coordinates.
I mean, except if they are clearly copying works they don't have copyright to, they are violating the law and effectively taking some amount of money out of the pocket of authors and rights holders. You can try and demand people use more "neutral" language to disucss copyright violations, but good luck.
I hope you never know the misfortune of having assets devalued by people that feel they don't need to operate within the boundaries of the rules.
When I worked at the George Eastman Museum many moons ago, the staff entrance had a distinct vinegar-like odor that I believe was from vinegar syndrome isolation storage for the film collection at some point in its history before the archive building was made in '89. That place has an AMAZING collection.
