I mean, isn't that how trademark is supposed to work? I'm no expert or anything but the original creator hadn't used the trademark in over ten years and ostensibly had no intention to do so. He also didn't respond to the notice of opposition.

Seems to me the courts did the right thing in letting gametech have the trademark if they intended to use it.

That's not to say that I support them making a shitty Cryptobro game but them obtaining the trademark by itself doesn't really seem shady to me.

Even if this was just an "innocent" slip up it's not like what he said wouldn't have been racist otherwise. The dude is defending the false claims about Haitian immigrants. It's still racist.

I just watched a video on Ulillillia like yesterday. I wonder what his Doom looks like.

I honestly got the impression that it was some half baked idea from some boneheaded executive that didn't have any idea how they were even going to put it into practice anyway.

Wouldn't be surprised if they just couldn't figure out how to get it working without major issues.

Is the guy even all that smart? Like I realize he's probably not like genuinely stupid. But every time I've seen him talk he doesn't sound any more intelligent than a stoner cashier at Rite Aid.

Maybe because there's usually not even a perceptible difference in visual quality between the two and a very noticeable performance difference.

This process is akin to how humans learn by reading widely and absorbing styles and techniques, rather than memorizing and reproducing exact passages.

Machine learning algorithms are not people and are not ingesting these works the same way a person does. This argument is brought up all the time and just doesn't ring true. You're defending the unethical use of copyrighted works by a giant corporation with a metaphor that doesn't have any bearing on reality; in an age where artists are already shamefully undervalued. Creating art is a human process with the express intent of it being enjoyed by other humans. Having an algorithm do it is removing the most important part of art; the humanity.

Could only improve things honestly.

My Durge run has been pretty fun. Cut off Gail's hand when he was reaching out of that rock and never had to deal with him again. So that was cool.
