The most common thing that comes to mind is that in lots of games based in japan, if there's any gambling you have to gamble in tokens then exchange those for prizes which you then sell. You also do this in the recent animal crossing DLC, but its framed as a different currency rather than tokens

Three panel comic. Panel 1: the stage of the Jerry Springer show with an audience watching. A peeved looking person sits in a chair. Jerry Springer stands next to him and says, β€œwe have with us: your ancestor who crawled out of the ocean 375 million years ago!” Panel 2: the incensed audience boos loudly. Panel 3: security attempts to break out a fistfight between the onstage guest and a prehistoric fish, the Tiktaalik.

They're not designed to work against image to image attacks, they're for stopping training. It doesn't seem like there is a simple method to resist the image to image stuff.

No you're right, I misread. Sorry.

The difference is they're probably actually fun unlike 4e, which if people are playing those things, they clearly aren't still playing.

I'm still active and I haven't seen any of this, I've never seen anyone playing 4e outside of when it was the current edition and still see people playing 3e and obviously massive amounts of 5e.

Of all the TTRPG systems I've played 4e is still close to the bottom.

Isn't that just because he's a doctor called Briefs, if you don't have a surname then it would make sense to use that format.

Control, I'm sure it's not as bad as trash other people have played but I heard such good things about it and it was just extremely tedious and boring. The characters, visuals and ashtray maze were good but everything else was miserable, the DLCs were a slight improvement over the base game.

Yeah it definitely is confusing to see Caves of Qud and Balatro both be roguelikes even though they're pretty unrelated, but that is a pretty standard issue with genres evolving over time.

This is partly why the -like genre naming convention is good because it focuses on the importance of inspiration and development of ideas. Most modern roguelikes aren't like rogue but are part of the lineage of games inspired by and developing on rogue's ideas.

I would give it run based and procgen but I'd fail it on every other genre marker. It's generally difficult for things to fall into genres created after they were (solitaire not freecell specifically) but it's not impossible.

Dice rolls certainly don't, community chest cards maybe but it's a big stretch.

I haven't seen people refer to things as roguelite for years, it was never a very meaningful difference anyway.

Monopoly isn't procedurally generated, there's also usually metaprogression with the unlocking of different items, playable characters and difficulties, usually single player and have defined ends. So Tetris wouldn't count either.

I think the navigation is easier but the combat and platforming is harder.

The earliest document in the other discussion was from 2006 and it wasn't mentioned they were sourcing any data from web crawling which was cited as being used in later models. Which indicates to me they probably didn't start questionably sourcing data on a large scale till later.

Yeah that's the page I was referring to, it doesn't say anywhere there the data was taken from web crawling, unlike its descriptions of later models.

I assumed it would be now, which is why I said was.

Based on what you linked the earliest versions weren't based on stuff taken from web crawling, so I would say I was probably correct, but they aren't clear so its still possible it used stolen work.

Google translate wasn't constructed out of massive volumes of illegally acquired, uncredited, uncompensated work. The LLMs are holistically constructed of compressed stolen work, there's nothing you can do with them that isn't influenced by their training data.

Not to mention that why should we be deferring to the UK government and not one of the many other equally legally authoratative bodies across the world which also have different contradictory definitions. This all clearly illustrates that you have a poor grasp of both biology and law.
