Machine learning is just gradient descent through a subset of algorithm-space

Whilst I’ve heard lots of talk that lunduke is getting increasingly politica, and I disagree quite strongly with his politics, I’ll have to agree with him here. IA did something unnecessarily risky (redistributing unauthorised copies of print books), which has more jeopardised their mission of archiving the internet.

I also agree with everyone here saying that current copyright laws are ridiculous (and not just because they are “outdated”, the Victorians had better copyright laws than we do). However, I think only the most radical overhaul of copyright law would condone what IA did, and that isn’t coming any time soon (If ever).

There’s a former apple designer on the team I think, which they’ve been leaning into hard to get the hype train rolling.

Functional bros rise up!

It’s a bit repetitive, but it’s not too bad.

Firstly, yes, lol Booty.

But I found the comments around Redfall interesting/concerning. Even if a studio gets promised independence in one of these giant mergers, they only have to fuck up once to get that taken away.

I’m not going to defend Redfall in any way, it actually does sound like a case of mismanagement. But I worry about the stifling of creativity that occurs when every studio is trying to play it safe to avoid becoming the next Bioware
