Hard to believe it’s been 20 years since the first publication of OpenSolaris source code with the Dtrace source release:
@Chzikken_1486 Okay. Muting this thread.
@MisterLister DIE
@bonifartius Mario works because the stories are simple and are completely isolated from any timeline. The can theoretically go on forever.
Though in terms of beloved and well known series, a lot of them either ended willingly or were just cut short due to time or financial constraints. One would argue that they would've lost their charm if they went on forever.
@rher I'm tired of people posting the word. That's all. I have nothing against them in general.
@beardalaxy I think one of the Starmen.net people actually went to Japan and saw Itoi himself, and he openly gave approval to the fan translation. Nintendo doesn't care because they don't actually own the Mother series. Itoi still owns the entire Mother IP.
I completely understand why NoA doesn't want to localize it. That game is full of implied sociopolitical commentary that may be alienating and seemingly contradictory to Nintendo's perceived values. Not to mention the drag-queen like characters who were openly stated to be based off of Itoi's LGBT friends.
Westerners also don't realize that Mother 3's reception was actually lukewarm in Japan. Not only did it ditch the modern setting that the first two games were known for, it also had an implied message that it was evil (though Itoi openly said that it's all up to interpretation).
@Mr_NutterButter At that point AI will start to feed off its own generated content, causing the output to worsen in quality. This is known as "model collapse" and nobody knows how to fix it. So AI generated content and new human generated content need to find a way to coexist otherwise AI will degrade in quality.
We are frequently asked how to help sponsor Alpine Linux. Now you can:

@codrus @mr_penguin Apparently, Facebook is banning any discussions about Linux, including blacklisting links to DistroWatch.
@gabriel AI models will naturally feed off each other, whether it's intentional or not.
@icedquinn What is this Rattata company about? What do they make.
@Aether Even if it wasn't intentional, it is bound to happen anyway. As more people post AI generated content, AI models will use said content.
