I've noticed a similar trend on YouTube and Bandcamp too. Sadly, I personally know a few people who are engaged in those activities in my business school class.

The usage of generative AI has significantly lowered the barrier to entry for the creative industry, leading to an influx of AI generated products that are easily consumable and can be used to generate revenue.

Until the platforms begin to regulate AI art, which I don't see why they would, we can expect to see more of them in the near future.

With sufficient education, awareness, and incentives. I don't see why not.

There's already a massive shift in the hospitality industry with paper straws and bio-decompositable cutlery, saving the world from a tremendous amount of plastic.

It really depends on the level of seniority.

If you are applying for a junior role, I don't know much about Europe, but in India the defence and security sector often have internship programmes for university students.

Alternatively, same as all other jobs, keep your eye open and make sure your CV and cover letter is catered towards the job.

You don't need to be a misanthrope to work in defence and security. Despite the bad PR, it's comforting knowing that your work is making the world a safer place.

Seconded, there's no tangible nor financial benefit to him for releasing the information to the world. Also: how would publishing the data "make the world a better place"?

At the same time it'll incur a non trivial amount of reputational and professional risk.

I often draw the line between adventure/action-rpg (Zelda, Diablo, etc.) with traditional RPG based on the reliance of in-game character skills vs player skills.

In a traditional RPG, a character with sufficient stats are bound to succeed more often, whereas in an action game it really depends on the skill of the player.

I'm not trolling, and I'm sorry if it came off that way. As someone not living in the states, I simply had more faith in the US Justice system compared to say, Russia.

I'm sorry if I offended anyone.

Potentially because it is owned by a Chinese firm. To my knowledge, China has a very diverse and relaxed law around data privacy.

It has been established that this is a standard pattern for most image processing services to prevent abuse though...

I completely understand that it might not be for you, but in business school we were taught that engagement metrics is key to growth, and account creation is a good indicator of engagement.

Te Reo is often considered a taonga due to its value in the heritage and identity of the Māori people of New Zealand.

Te Reo names are often gifted by Iwis or individuals with sufficient Mana. As a Tangata Whenua Inia, I was strongly recommended to avoid using Te Reo names in business due to cultural reasons.

Even if they copied OP's code, depending on the FOSS license it might not be illegal.

As someone who grew up in India, this practice is actually quite common and not exactly frowned up. When you have multiple products that perform similar functions, whoever can sell them the best will gain market dominance.

OP did not pursue the monetization path chosen by his competitor and lost out only on potential income, this might be a good lesson in entrepreneurship and IP management.

Having clear requirements, good communications with key stakeholders and empower the enginees.

I feel like we are moving towards a service/subscription based economy. Which definitely makes some media more accessible and equitable, and might be a mutually beneficial agreement between the producer and the consumer.

But that does raise the question of ownership. Given that now some game companies are looking to turn even single player games into a subscription based model...

Most companies also have a professional and ethical obligation to protect the privacy of their users. With the advent of AI and LLM, it will be interesting to see how the field of ethics evolve in the coming years.

Professionals are more than just just code factories, they have a moral and professional obligation to ensure they behave ethically at their workplace.

Knowing what is ethical and what is not allows engineers to communicate their concerns to key stakeholders when they are tasked with unethical decisions.

The main issue here is that the engineers have failed to communicate how picking the ethical options can create value for key stakeholders.

Until that can be achieved, alternative options that generate more value will always be prioritised. Such is only the logical turn of events.

It still baffles me to think that some still believe that HR is on their side. Human resource is there to safeguard the company from regulatory, compliance, and legal challenges.

It has been established that visionaries don't always need to come from a coding background. Often those who aren't can offer diverse viewpoints that are not restricted by the current technology limitations.

How does this comment help? Despite the rising water temperature, the world collectively is doing more for the climate than ever. Ranging from more ethical fishing practices to the reduction of fossil fuel usage, to more and more corporations going carbon neutral.

This kind of defeatist attitude doesn't contribute to a better future.

Freedom of speech does not mean freedom of consequences.

It's crucial to understand when to voice one's views both in a public and private setting.

Sometimes having a new and fresh perspective helps a lot more than you think.

My 12 year old hates math, but he's surprisingly good at Human Resource Machine and SpaceChem. It makes me wonder whether high school maths is fundamentally different from programming maths.

By providing education and awareness, change can only come from within those countries. The citizens of China and India are probably on the same page as you.

That is not true, I think most people care dearly and are doing everything to slow down climate change, this includes participating in recycling and watching our own carbon footprints.

Ultimately its up to us to convince the policymakers and senior leadership in corporations to make the correct decision.

As long as there's a moral and ethical framework governing it to prevent abuse.

An ex-colleague of mine got a kidney transplant in China, most kidneys are from either volunteer donors or prisoners that have given their consent.

Although it is not impossible for this type of system to be gamed, having proper governance around it might be a good way forward.

Difficult often implies additional resourcing and development related costs.

Something that many companies are not willing to invest in since it will have a negative impact on the shareholder values.

Often risks are accepted, and cybersecurity insurance is used to mitigate those risks.

Although that may be a sound business model, one must question the ethical implications surrounding it.

With that said, that's not too different from existing cancer treatment drugs.

That's no different from referring to US policymakers as "Washington" or their Chinese counterparts as "Beijing".

This kind of defeatist attitude doesn't help with the situation at all. We can all do our part in reducing our daily carbon emissions, raise awareness, and educate policymakers and business stakeholders on the importance of mitigating climate change!

Thank you for the thorough explanation! For the longest time I thought he was a founder of Tesla and Space.

I'm a bit out of the loop here, but is the letter "X" a part of Elon's company branding? Since that's not the first time he used the letter "X" in that manner.

The single letter "X" is brimming with symbolism and implications. Without further explanation we may never know why the rebranding was necessary.

Exactly, we're all in this together. There is only one Earth and the only way to move forward is to work together and help each other out.

International politics does not need to be a zero sum game, a little bit of mutual assistance can go a long way.
