Scroll through the site, there are A LOT of assets from games, packaged by users. It's a nice subtrefuge, in practice it is a place to get ripped assets and the platform washes it's hands.

Again, I don't have any particularly strong issue with this, just with the pearl clutching regarding roblox downloading the data.

The paradox is that if the models are restricted, more exposed software will exist. I'm not convinced you can make a model that allows you to build secure software without it also being able to build exploits.

Sure, let's assume that is true now (I don't know and not on me to check really), but if half of consumption disappears, where will the earners earn from to continue that cycle? What if people stop paying their mortgages? Textbook recession where everyone is affected.

"Capital investments" are not a magic money source if the economy is tanked.

If all jobs are taken away for the sake of robot driven productivity, who will consume the products and services being offered that result in profit?!

(EDIT: I am not against AI at all, just trying to understand where this all leads)

So, determinism is the core of the issue for you?

I'm sorry but you can compare them in the sense that they're just computer programs that can be useful to you.

On the new moon, when the moon is between the earth and the sun, the light reflects back towards the sun, so you don't see it i.e. the moon is dark.

As for the full moon, the earth and sun are on the same side of the moon, so the sun is lighting the moon "from behind you" and you can see that.

I do understand the "invisible side effects" side. I do try to be conservative in what I do in signal listeners.

I do what I must in the atomic context, and trigger celery tasks for everything else.

The only part I don't really agree with, is the avoidance of app separation and signals. It's one of the cleanest ways to decouple your modules and keep some level of sanity in a medium-sized codebase. It comes down to deciding what parts really need to depend on others and be very explicit about that.

I generally end up with a few core apps with the main data objects that a lot of other "parallel" ones depend on, a bit "star shaped". And then a few "aggregator" apps that cover functionality that needs to work across multiple of these domains. I see it all as an extension of how you think about your data model.

Computer use itself is evolving as CLIs and APIs are important again to enable AI use. We'll certainly converge at a happy medium, CLIs, APIs and text for AI, and maybe some form of dynamic interface that the AI builds/adapts on the spot for the exact task you want to execute, on the environment you're at. And of course, good ol' purpose built tools/UIs as we do today, when it makes sense.

Would you be able to share a bit about your workflow? Have been meaning to try AI gen for game models, and would love to know how people are tackling this.

I think part of the issue is that these retailers are also customers of meta/google on the side of purchasing ads, and as a merchant you're highly encouraged to send as much data on your events as you can, or your conversion tracking can be "less accurate"and your campaigns are less efficient.

So it's less about "we're sending the data to $megacorp" and more about "I want the most bang for buck on my own campaigns" when the decision is made.

Using a different email certainly helps, though!

EDIT: highly encouraged by meta et. al! Whether this is a legitimate request to improve results or pure self-interest on the part of meta I don't know!

The issue is, even with all the browser protections, you still create an account anywhere or buy something an input your name/email address/shipping address, your "hashed data" immediately gets sent to meta/google as a conversion with "this guy bought a cat toy", and you start getting ads for cat related stuff everywhere.

They don't even need to "track" you properly for this stuff to work and it seems there's no way to escape it.
