Insider trading applies to securities. Polymarket bets are not securities.

Manipulation violates Polymarket’s ToS, but that’s not criminal.

Now, it might meet the legal criteria for fraud, depending on what one does. But that’s a “maybe.” I’d say that is far easier to get away with than insider trading. EDIT: Especially when hopping jurisdictions (which is not so easy with securities).

It’s a little alarming that crypto payments alone are warranting this.

Actually, yeah.

It’s also gambling. But the potential for corruption is just on a whole other level; “gambling” is a euphemism for prediction markets.

I think it’s silly you’re getting downvoted over semantics; gambling has influenced outcomes, yes, technically, but it’s generally a self-contained game.

Yes, actually that would be great!

All this has happened so fast; it takes time to react I suppose.

The “failure mode” of AI editing is different though.

Humans (I guess) might mislabel something or take a bad shot. If they try to touch it up “traditionally” they could mess up the coloration at most.

But with AI editing, now you have to watch out for fine details you’d normally use for identification being completely, convincingly fabricated, as the article points out, with altruistic intent from the user (who’s just trying to submit data that looks alright)

The solution is global AI literacy; but that’s not going so well.

Lees points to the example of a false sighting of a red-winged blackbird in central Brazil, which is usually found in North America and had never been seen in this area of Brazil until the reported sighting. The bird was, in fact, an epaulet oriole – a common new world bird species – but the photographer had asked an AI platform to make the picture “look better”, which is when parts of the red-winged blackbird were added, resulting in the false sighting.

Yeah in hindsight I worded that a bit extremely.

It is basically Valheim with creatures though, its similar to many survival crafters (albeit well done).

And I’m speaking more from a “strict” business perspective here. Palworld is obviously courting Pokemon fans, but from Nintendo’s perspective, Palworld is in a different market; I doubt they’re actually losing any sales of Pokemon games to Palworld.

A lot of Pokemon are generic tropes, but some really are blatant ripoffs. I think it’s pretty scummy of Palworld, actually.

But.

If Nintendo don’t think they can prove a copyright violation, they shouldn’t try to get them with some tangential thing, especially those crazy software patents of all things.

This isn’t the smart way, though.

What the homelabbers do (at least before the RAM crisis) is buy Xeon/TR/EPYC boards on the cheap, and then run gaming GPUs for hybrid inference.

This is what I do. I run MiMo 2.5 at 8-10t/s on a 7800X3D/RTX 3090/128GB CPU RAM, more with Dflash. That’s a 300B model: it’s not even in the same class as Qwen 27B, which is what the dev in OP’s article is trying to run.

And this is small-time: setups with 4-8 memory channels can run stuff like Kimi or Deepseek Pro, even faster. Or they can run smaller LLMs with quantization types that are very fast on CPUs, and get crazy speeds.

…And besides, Qwen 27B can run fine on a 4080, with the right framework. It will fit in 16GB as an exl3.

Not that this isn’t a cool hardware hacking project.

…But it’s kind of the wrong approach. It’s about 2 years out of date, as MoEs are king in LLM land now. RAM is horrendously expensive, yes, but so are most used V100s, or used 3090s.

Grounded 1.

And while Pillars of Eternity isn’t my particular cup of tea, others swear by it.

I know the reception to Outer Worlds was “eh” (and I thought it was “eh”). And it was clearly supposed to be a New Vegas-like. But I think people forget Obsidian released 9 games and some great writing since Fallout 4 came out.

This whole thing is silly.

Palword isn’t a Pokemon competitor. It’s an Ark/Valheim-like on PC; it has nothing to do with the Switch, it’s nothing like Pokopia or most Pokemon games. Nintendo doesn’t sell PC games!

This would be akin to Skyrim being an Xbox exclusive, and BGS suing Stardew Valley for “dynamic NPCs” on the Switch version.

…Why? It’s not a competitor at all; what’s the business motivation?

Palworld marketing certainly leaned into the controversy, but honestly Nintendo is stupid for starting this, even from a pure business perspective.

Keep in mind this will disable plug-and-play for other devices one plugs in.

Which is excellent, from a security standpoint, but something to be cognizant of.

By default? Maybe.

But there are both global and granular Windows policies to tweak this. I disabled the device driver specifically, as I do like plug-and-play for other devices.

No, I just mean windows update will pull an LG “driver” and install it to your system automatically when it detects the display.

My dumb LG monitor from 2020 got the adware update.

If you run it on Windows, it has nothing to do with the monitor’s hardware. Windows Update will just install the driver to your system when it recognizes the display.

Samsung one-ups them though. The UI and remote are, somehow, even worse.

This has been going on forever, though. I had an Asus motherboard that literally installed adware, and an even older Sony laptop that topped it.

Same. I noticed earlier this month when I got a popup to install Mcafee, out of nowhere. I was mortified.

That won’t save you. It’ll still install the driver if its hooked to Windows.

Old monitors need it for absolutely nothing, like my 2020 LG. Every feature works out of the box, because it has to over display cables.

I think at most it adds an ICC profile, but it’s not matched to the panel anyway and you can just install that seperately.
