Based on what I read only, what they patented is a tech that reduces the AI's upscaling. It doesn't touch the resolution. So, maybe that's what they went for.

Actually, no. It can't be the same. The rules of arms sales are different.
If it was purely Ukranian, they can sell it to others for profit.
If it's a co-manufactured product, you need permission of the other party.
Pretty much how Brahmos sales from India require Russia's consent.
It's not a big problem if you're on friendly terms, but Japan does have a 'pacifist' mindset. They aren't big on arms sales. The government is trying to change it, but slow goings.

Yeah, no. They have to make enough ammunition to fill their own defence interceptors, 50% of which were empty last year.
Most of the stuff they produce, they only sell on 'peaceful purpose' conditions.
That's why their government is trying to amend the constitution, or at least 'reinterpret' the Article 9 for arms sales, at least.

I just wish people stopped putting such heavy guard rails on AI
I tried to make a picture of a generic super hero, warnings galore because apparently every iteration of superhero ever is already invented by a third party 😅
the data center models are better for image gen cuz they got more ram
I just wish the liability was on the person prompting not the company generating
I dont think its these corporations setting the rules for an agenda theyre trying to push though, its to avoid legal repercussions
I find it very difficult to use image gen as an artist because of the strong handed guard rails, it makes everything I do look similar thats before getting into the AI look of the images
summer cedar
You were looking for some bloody vampire thingy, right?
pearl elk
Not just that, today I had an issue doing a generic superhero. Kept coming up with third-party rights issues and warnings because alot of those poses are kinda suggestive
I have very little control over facial expression because of the sensitive content filters, cant compare characters because it might give false body images... all sorts of stuff which are extremely limiting.
Ive got local models but they are a fair bit behind and Ive only got 16GB of RAM, the 48GB models are heaps better, less oddities and its good to have the chat where we can refine it. I just find it wont do the refinements like I ask because of the guardrails

I walked on to a Freestar Roaming ship and greeted the crew casually. Then, I spoke to the captain who just assumed I was the smuggler sent to pick 'the package' up.
I lied and said I was indeed who they were waiting for. I asked them, "Where do I deliver the package?" They said, "No idea." So, I accepted the package anyway and walked out of the ship.
Starfield 100/10.

Update to that story. Turns out the actual smuggler arrived just as I was leaving orbit and wanted me to pay him 10,000 credits as compensation for 'stealing his package'.
Long story short, prospective smuggler + three lackies are space debris

The car?

The car?
The space ship.
So, I was cruising on my merry way to deal with some pirates at Altair V, when my radar told me that there was hostile activity somewhere nearby.
I took a detour and found some pirates. All's well that ends well; the pirates were sent to heaven shortly. Then, I kept receiving hails from a civilian ship. Particularly, an old woman who kept on inviting me to come aboard and join her for a meal.
I did board her ship, with my gun drawn. Turned out, the ship's lone occupant was indeed an old woman - inhabited by a parasite that controlled the host's body. The 'meal' she was inviting me to carried its eggs. Of course, I turned down the meal and then shot her full of bullets.
Just another day in Starfield.

There's someone near my outpost on this planet, shooting at something. It's too dark for me to eyeball (mk1) them, but they're definitely there. I can hear the gunshots.
It's a PITA. My scanner is overwhelmed by the local flora and dead fauna (I murdered them) to isolate the shooter.
Ok, no. It wasn't a shooter. It was Bethesda's planet rover vehicle stuck inside the landing platform. Mesh collision was making it sound out repeatedly.
Forcing it to respawn stopped the sound.

There is definitely some older stuff which is better than its contemporaries in some ways. Its pretty clear that the sets, cinematography etc is way better these days because of technology but the scores dont really reflect those changes
Seven Samurai from 1954 is rated the same as Saving Private Ryan but theres no way they could have made the latter in 1954
Not as highly rated as Mr Badger from Wind in the Willows obv
