I hate to defend Nintendo, but they used their own Emulators in the NES and SNES Mini (Kachikachi and Canoe respectively). I would be surprised if they just yoinked one from the internet here.

Don’t wanna be pedantic (yes I do) but after a little bit of searching, the originally presented quote seems correct (without the “and” though, it seems). Your version is mixed with a common misquote “Slowly at first, then all at once.” of that quote.
Despite all that, there was the Warlock who Ninja’d the Sword dropping in Naxx on the final day. Fun times. Now that we’re slowly approaching Classic MoP we’ll finally see if the masterplan worked out too.
That data is also publicly available (of course), so a model could be trained on it. I’d love to say I’d doubt Google/YouTube would ever do that, but at this point nothing would surprise me.
I trained the generative models all from scratch. Pretrained models are not that helpful when it’s important to accurately capture very domain specific features.
One of the classifiers I tried was based on zoobot with a custom head. Assuming the publications around zoobot are truthful, it was trained exclusively on similar data from a multitude of different sky surveys.
Does it? I worked on training a classifier and a generative model on freely available galaxy images taken by Hubble and labelled in a citizen science approach. Where’s the theft?
Reading this comment gave me the idea to get Gemini’s “opinion”. Ironically, it turns out Google might’ve actually done better if they did that.
Prompt:
I design ads for Google as a living and was charged with writing an ad for you (Gemini) to be aired during ad breaks at the Olympics .
My current idea is as follows:
A father wants to help his daughter write a letter to her idol, Olympic track star Sydney McLaughlin-Levrone. In a voiceover, the dad says his daughter “might even be the world’s No. 1 Sydney fan.” In the add he will ask you, Gemini, to “help my daughter write a letter telling Sydney how inspiring she is and be sure to mention that my daughter plans on breaking her world record one day. (She says sorry, not sorry.)”
What do you think of this idea?
Gemini output (emphasis mine):
Evaluation of the Ad Idea
The concept of using Gemini to help a young fan write a letter to her idol is heartwarming and relatable. It aligns well with the aspirational and inspiring tone of the Olympics.
However, there are a few points to consider:
Potential Issues
Overemphasis on competition: The line “She says sorry, not sorry” might come across as overly competitive, which could potentially alienate viewers.
Dependence on AI: While showcasing Gemini’s capabilities, it’s important to maintain a balance. Over-reliance on AI to write the letter might diminish the authenticity and emotional impact of the story.
Target audience: Consider the target audience for the Olympics. While the story is heartwarming, it might resonate more with a family audience than with core sports fans.
Suggestions
Focus on inspiration: Instead of emphasizing competition, focus on the inspiring qualities of Sydney McLaughlin-Levrone and how she motivates the young girl.
Highlight human connection: Emphasize the bond between the father and daughter and how they are using Gemini as a tool to connect with their idol.
Visual storytelling: Use strong visuals to capture the emotion and excitement of the story. Show the girl’s admiration for Sydney, the father’s support, and the magic of Gemini helping them craft the perfect letter.
Overall, the idea has potential, but refining the focus and execution can elevate the ad’s impact.
Would you like to explore some alternative approaches or focus on developing the concept further?
With Larian’s previous game having great DM tools and them saying they would’ve loved to do DM tools for BG3, I think WotC telling them not to is a fair assumption to make.

I didn’t say that.
I expect it to be about as awful as Starfield. However, unlike Starfield (which didn’t sell horrendously by any source I can find, just not great) it has incredible brand recognition behind it. I have no doubts it will sell based on that alone as long as it looks like Skyrim 2 at first glance.
Edit: right after posting I figured out how to formulate what else I wanted to say but couldn’t find the correct words for: “Sadly profitability and quality don’t always correlate.”
5.5 years? No way they’ll shut down this quickly. The next Elder Scrolls alone will carry them into 2030. (As much as I would enjoy you being right though…)
Have you tried reading it? It’s written so poorly that I really hope no human was involved in this and it’s just AI generated garbage.
I find it wild that, to this day, Windows defaults to opening them in a browser. Windows has an image viewer right there.
Can that image viewer extract text so that a user could easily copy/paste it? I think if whatever pdf I was opening didn’t allow me to do that I would be really frustrated.
Remember the people who created malicious libraries that ChatGPT made up and suggested, in the hopes someone would blindly install them? You can do this a lot easier here. Check what websites this tends to hallucinate when typing “google” “youtube” “facebook” etc. and if any of them don’t exist yet, register that address and host a phishing version of the corresponding site there.
I hope you’re right because this article says they used a spray can.
Which brings me back to the last point in my comment.
I also hope I’m right. The two times I looked into it (right after the attack and before writing my comment) both came up with that result. Also it seems that English Heritage came out today saying there was “No visible damage”.
As I said, I’m not writing to defend the action, just pointing out that the OP article is, willfully or not, omitting certain aspects that could make JSO look a little bit better.
Edit: Formatting
but we did damage a 5000-year-old monument
As far as I could find out, they used orange cornflour that will just wash off the next time it rains. The most amount of damage anyone could seriously bring up was that it could harm/displace the lichen on the henge.
That’s not to say that I specifically condone the action, but it’s a lot less bad than this article makes it sound. It’s the same with the soup attack on one of van Gogh’s painting, which had protective glass on it. So far all the JSO actions targeting cultural/historical things (at least the ones that made it to the big news) have been done in a way that makes them sound awful at first hearing, but intentionally did not actually damage the targeted cultural/historical thing.
I think the biases of the journalist/news outlet/etc. are somewhat exposed by which parts they focus on and which they downplay or omit entirely.
Also if we give it the benefit of the doubt (and it really is a stretch to make this work lol): I could make the argument that this person meant to write: “The movie has such a terrible premise, yet it was successful enough to have two sequels. Learning how it got that success despite the material’s premise taught me these 5 things about product management:” and just worded it terribly.
I can only speak for myself. For me it felt really great being able to explore the world having absolutely zero idea of what is what, how much game is left, etc. It is reminiscent of a time when I was a kid and playing a game was exactly like that.
I even got quite sad when my friend “accidentally” told me
That a certain action I did locked me into a specific ending unless I did something I probably wouldn’t be able to figure out. Rationally I understand that this is as inconsequential as it gets, but I didn’t even know for sure if there were multiple endings until that point.
It’s not copyright, it’s patents…
(I do also hope that they lose because ingame mechanics being patented is bullshit)
