That kind of depends how you define autonomy. Whichever way, I’m not sure I get how “virtual” is a better descriptor for implying a lack of it than “artificial” is.

Also by “we don’t actually know how it works” do you mean that we can’t explain why a particular “decision” was made by an AI, or do you mean that we don’t know how AI works in general? If it’s the first that’s generally true, if it’s the second I disagree (we know a lot, but still have a lot to learn).

I don’t understand the desire to argue against the terms being used here when it fits both the common and academic usages of “AI”

This is true, but it shouldn’t be :(

Dropped a bombshell? More like dropped some water in the ocean. This is obvious to anyone not burying their head in the sand.

AAAAAAA

Just to make an argument that at a glance that single image looks like Minecraft?

Yup, that’s the reason. OP had said that the textures weren’t even similar iirc. Arguing against that doesn’t mean I was arguing against their overall conclusion about the DMCA being invalid. Probably should have phrased it less confrontationally.

Well, yeah. I’m not arguing that they actually copied Minecraft. I’m arguing that they ended up in a visually similar place. Which it doesn’t seem you disagree with?

My point is that it can be true that the screenshot looks like Minecraft without the game actually being an MC ripoff.

And as an aside, Terraria being a 2d game has different considerations for their visuals. You’re basically getting xray vision into each block. The sides of terraria blocks do have grass, but unlike in MC or Allumeria you can also see the dirt inside the block.

I get your point, but there are some pretty specific similarities, notably:

• Grass texture sides having exposed dirt
• Clumps of pumpkin blocks as a forest-generating feature
• Single-block tree trunks with a clump of leaves on top
• Minecraft-like terrain generation and texturing

All of which are featured prominently in the screenshot. There are differences-- taller trees, more small vegetation, different grass block color variation, colored and differently-modeled leaves-- but it’s more similar than other voxel-based games I’m familiar with. Maybe I don’t play many mc-likes, but other voxel games like Fractal Block World, Teardown, that foresty one with the tiny voxels (forgot the name), Lucid Blocks (the other voxel game by this same creator(!!) about a liminal world), and even Hypixel have more notable differences than this screenshot does. Maybe there’s more to the game that’s different, but this particular screenshot looks like lightly modded MC.

None in particular, but I don’t have experience with triple-A games enough to know about this artstyle

I’m not arguing about whether the copyright claim is legit. I’m saying that claiming the picture in the post doesn’t look like MC is a questionable opinion at best.

Hmm. Based?

It looks like Minecraft bro turn off your reality distortion field

Well damn Jackie I can’t control the weather!

I really appreciate posts like this. Thank you for making Lemmy a better place!

Misinfo, we can’t do this lmao

There’s only one reality, some people are just more wrong about what they think it is. Let me know if you are seriously arguing for “alternative truth” so I can block you now and save us both the trouble.

The rest of your worldview seems poorly thought out as well. The logical endpoint of a society which must tolerate everything is true anarchy. We created rules and societal structure to avoid that because it SUCKS. You cannot collaborate effectively without rules and the backdrop of a functioning society. You must spend an incredible amount of energy being vigilant, defending yourself from the world, and verifying things. You cannot trust anything that you do not completely understand AND trust the source of, and you’re less likely to understand things without knowledge sharing. People who are physicslly unable to contribute, who are arbitrarily deemed “weird”, or who do not wish to harm others suffer massive disadvantages. Again… not worth it.

Saying that I should not be intolerant of intolerance is not only practically unsustainable, it’s also hypocritical. You are yourself being intolerant of my intolerance, the very thing you are arguing against myself doing. In fact, if you are against intolerance wholesale, shouldn’t you agree with me that whoever is being intolerant in the first place is wrong?

i invoke fallacies because they are part of reality. the vast majority of human beings operate with cognitive and logical fallacies, there are inherent aspects of every single person.

It’s called a fallacy because it’s a thought trap. It’s something so obviously paradoxical and self-defeating that honestly, if you want to continue running into them at full speed and insisting you’re right anyways by waving your hand and saying abacadabra, I don’t see the point of replying further. Suspicions confirmed, goodbye and good luck.

Just because you can draw a similarity between two methods of thinking doesn’t man they’re equally valid/invalid. You have to compare it to reality. You’re also invoking the tolerance of intolerance fallacy here.

“They charge developers too much!”

So you should be able to undercut them, right? Right?

Android has this too, if you enable it in the settings.

“We sent them a letter and so we’re demanding a right to do it.”

That’s LITERALLY what they did lmao
