Modders going out of their way to find voice actors who can accurately reproduce an out of budget voice actor sounds like a labor of love that would not scale without serious money.

Having a gaming pc with a modern-ish nvidia GPU (not hating on AMD, rocm is just painful right now) scales very nicely when you apply ML to the problem.

Scales to the budget of bored tinkering teenagers with a lot of compute from chasing gaming framerates, gaming put mini ML workstations in a lot of kid's bedrooms if you think about it.

As of right now it is pretty much turnkey as it is.

Also, darpa has real use-cases and those use-cases tend to be hard to solve ones, they aren't VCs looking for the next trend to vampire like a national security version of the TV show shark tank.

Granted, it is 2023, it is the govt, and it is tech/eng/sci holy trinity of profit so I wouldn't be shocked if I am off the mark with my assessment.

The Copyright Act does not expressly impose liability for contributory infringement. According to the U.S. Supreme Court, the "absence of such express language in the copyright statute does not preclude the imposition of liability for copyright infringements on certain parties who have not themselves engaged in the infringing activity.

One who knowingly induces, causes or materially contributes to copyright infringement, by another but who has not committed or participated in the infringing acts themselves, may be held liable as a contributory infringer if they had knowledge, or reason to know, of the infringement. See, e.g., Metro-Goldwyn-Mayer Studios Inc. v. Grokster, Ltd., 545 U.S. 913 (2005); Sony Corp. v. Universal City Studios, Inc., 464 U.S. 417 (1984).

IANAL. Considering Valve not only gives games a retail platform, has to approve games before sale, and takes a cut of that sale and assuming the reddit post isn't a lie then I am gonna guess Valve's probably well staffed legal dept decided not to take a seemingly iffy legal gamble on a game that probably wasn't going to rake in a ton of sales anyway.

I shall poke around the cli code.

Have you looked at the state of the bloody world? I measure outputs not methods.

That is a cherry picked qoute from Byron's Darkness, it would be very easy given a few centuries, the fact that it is a poem, the loss of historical context, several changes to linguistics followed by selective editing to interpret Byron was talking about the ancient astronaut nuke of 1816 and not the eruption of Mount Tambora. [2]

In fact there is only a single instance of the word volcano in the entire poem, drop that and it reads like fallout because basically it was.

Paypal's 2FA is a bit of a joke. IIRC (this was quite some time ago) when I went to initially setup 2FA SMS was the only option, eventually they added support for authenticators but you can just click get a text instead of the authenticator. Last time I checked there was no way to tell paypal to only accept OTPs from an authenticator.

The imperitive word that person on the forum post you quoted used is "hijacking" not intentionally and knowingly installing mining software.

If the FDA wants to audit kytch to ensure their software and hardware is compliant, by all means. I am however not going to trust mcdonalds or taylor to do that.

You have the police, some are corrupt, some are a bad fit for the job, some are lazy and stupid, and some are run-down and underpaid.

You have prosecutors making their careers on win/loss records and being tough on crime so they can make judge or DA. Ibid for politicians with tough on crime, drugs, etc.

You have the prison system which has become big business, exploiting prisoners, their families, the legal system, and taxpayers. They do nothing to offer a real chance at reform, are dangerous and breed more hardcore criminals and victims.

You have the media which at it's mildest still runs with "if it bleeds it leads", middle of the road "true crime" podcasts and series, and at it's most exploitive preys on scaring the shit out of people (nancy grace is a good example) that 'the bad men are coming for your daughters' and we have to absolutely destroy criminals at all costs.

Then there is the populace who under no circumstances will forgive or trust anyone (background checks, public offender lists, mugshots) who has been convicted of a crime (really in the US these days you don't even need to be convicted, just accused of certain crimes and it is a defacto life sentence).

I am not saying policing shouldn't be reformed but that is one small step in fixing a very large problem but it is a very convenient target to lay all the blame on, and it feels good and just because it is an easy answer that is popular because in the US we are really all culpable.
