If you're speaking Spanish yes.

It's almost embarrassing how susceptible we are to these marketing campaigns.

Dunno about you, but I didn’t fall for it. I’m reminded of how they were “afraid” to release GPT-2 because of the “power” it had. Hype train!

Lack of information, lack of knowledge.

The “AI” “technology” is an easy excuse to create artificial information gap in the era of the interconnected.


I hate this comparison because you're comparing a well defined deterministic interface with LLM output, which is the exact opposite.

My mother in law did this. There are a lot of ignorant and uneducated people out there. They think "take this for pain" = "take more for more pain", popping one an hour not really understanding how insanely dangerous it is since acetaminophen has such a subtle effect until it's too late.

To add, the technology for stationary batteries (lithium phosphate) is cheaper, because you're no longer constrained by density/size.

I wish for multiple-decades old content the laws did allow for charging, that way more projects like this could be funded to keep alive old content.

Turtle WoW built off a 20 year old client with their own original content. After how many decades do you think it is acceptable for people to be allowed to mod and sell their own version of it? 75 years like with Disney? Would you feel that society would be worse off if people were allowed to sell modded N64 games?

For new developments, absolutely, but once something has been out for decades (plural), modifying and selling that isn't so unethical. Keep in mind that Turtle WoW built off and supported that original game client from over 20 years ago, they weren't just backporting a bunch of content from Blizzard's newer releases. It's the same as if someone wanted to sell a modded Super Nintendo game, society would not be worse off for this.

Yep, copyright used to last only 14-28 years.

It was fine then, and I believe that same term should be fine now.


Not only content, but countless bug fixes and new features (such as the guild bank). There's also a related project (SuperWoW) that injected a dll to fix and extend the client (which is still Blizzard's old original client).

The problem is that without a lot of human involvement (which is even more expensive), even the best still make a lot of mistakes.
