OMG, I got a negative vote! What for?


Recommended Posts

From today, Staff and MVC's (Most Valuable Contributors) may vote a post down, this can happen under the following scenarios:

  • You derailed the thread, and a staff member or MVC decided that your post didn't contribute to the discussion at all.
  • You were warned for breaking our community rules, the staffer may vote down the offending post as well as issue a warning/restriction.
  • You complained in the thread that someone negatively voted you, in this instance I will join in the vote process too.

These are really the only scenarios that are valid to negative voting.

Over time the reputation system will start to reflect a true karma of a user for their contributions, because now it's impossible to accurately see if a member is a good contributor or not, for new members.

This is really great, I hope the mods use it A LOT. I really think that it will put people off posting stupid replies if they think they're going to get a red mark on their post. Maybe at some point in the future you can make it turn the whole post red or collapse it or something.

Why do MVCs get the opportunity to vote?

Because they are a proven to be decent fellows.

Already spotted a flaw in our system.. when a staffer votes down it doesn't stop someone cancelling the vote by applying a positive vote, will make this a priority to block + votes when a - vote has been applied.

Thanks for highlighting the issue, (whoever did).

You mean people like him?

I understand perfectly how the system works.

  • I post something at MVC "Alpha"'s thread on something's he's expert about
  • "Alpha" doesn't like what I type
  • "Alpha" doesn't like that I disagree with him, votes me down
  • I recruit brentaal to upboat me
  • ??????
  • Profit!

For now yes, but:

If you earn a MVC title you most likely know what to down vote. MVC's are considered staff to me.

Not to me, the staff vote on MVC so all that says to me is that the person that is "in" with more of the staff is more likely to get an MVC.

Everyone, including you is "in" with me, in a special kind of way.

    • >defenders of AI-generated artworks often claim that AI is just a tool It is not. It is the inhuman artist replacement. The human writing the prompt is the employer/manager requesting the work product of the artist -- a supervisory/descriptive job that doesn't carry with it any rights to the copyright of that work product at all. And since AI is not human itself, it can't gain copyright for anything it is asked to regurgitate or hallucinate, so it can't transfer that copyright to the employer/manager/human who asked for the output. This was all legally reaffirmed last year. So, no, while there are AI tools, AI slopware generation is NOT a "tool" in the legal definition of that word.

    • Google is opening the world's first AI museum in Los Angeles by Ivan Jenic Image via: Google Ever since AI image generators went mainstream, the debate over whether AI-generated art is real art hasn't let up. Those who don’t consider AI to be art say that if a machine does the creating and anyone can prompt it, there’s no skill involved, and therefore no art is produced. The counter-argument is equally persistent, as defenders of AI-generated artworks often claim that AI is just a tool, and that every major technological breakthrough, like the camera or the computer, was met with the same skepticism before eventually being accepted as a legitimate creative medium. Google’s position in this debate is clear. Which is no surprise, as the company is investing billions in AI infrastructure. And now, in efforts to encourage people to use its AI even more, Google is opening Dataland on June 20, which it's calling the world's first AI arts museum. Located inside The Grand LA, a Frank Gehry-designed building in Los Angeles, the museum spans 25,000 square feet. The museum is built around a collaboration with media artist Refik Anadol, who has worked with Google since 2016. The inaugural exhibition is called Machine Dreams: Rainforest, and is powered by an AI model trained on “an extensive dataset of the natural world.” It generates 1.2 billion pixels of visuals in real time and reacts to visitors dynamically. The space also generates soundscapes, real-time emotion sensing, and algorithmically produced scents. Image via: Refik Anadol Studio / Google Google says that the museum is powered by its Gemini models, which run on Google Cloud. So, everything is generated inside one of Google’s AI data centers and is streamed to the museum. Alongside the museum opening, Google Arts & Culture is funding an AI Artist Residency, giving four artists $25,000 grants each, along with mentorship from Refik Anadol Studio and access to Google's machine learning tools. Their work will be shown at Dataland and on the Google Arts & Culture website later this year. Google’s AI museum will undoubtedly initiate a fired-up debate on social media, and we can’t wait to see the first reactions. Via: Smithsonian Magazine
    • Calling GTA 6 overhyped crap doesn’t make you edgy, it just makes you sound like someone who hasn’t enjoyed anything since the PS2 era.
    • I’m not arguing whether Rockstar likes money. Obviously, they do, they’re a business. I’m saying this isn’t new. They’ve always launched console first. This is just how Rockstar operates.
