I didn’t know that! Thanks for the article
OpenAI is a for profit company, owned by a non profit. External investors can invest in the for profit subsidiary, but it is still owned by the non profit. Investors are only allowed a capped amount of profit. (The capped amount is still bajillions afaik). But the for profit is legally bound to follow the non-profit’s mission.
They got approved by the same valve for steam greenlight though
Psychological Warfare for sure
Does this mean league of legends is a weapon
I wish Wookiepedia did the same and ditched Fandom too
For sure the commenter was just asking what space MacOS owns
I would argue macOS owns the creative space (Design, Art and Music)
If there is a specific modpack you want to play, try to look on pages of those packs, often there will be public servers that exist for them. I know GTNH has this at least.
I bought the base package in 2018 I think. Never bought any ships or any of that crap. Some friends have told me I’ve been scammed but I’ve got my money’s worth in playtime already so I’m just happy to coast along and see actual incredible game dev innovation
I think they’ve bought him out
toki!
First of all sorry for the delay between the last post and this one, I have been pretty busy last week so I kind of just… forgot. Sorry!
Also, if you have suggestions for a conlang and linguistic feature of the week, please send them to me! I only know so many, so I’m always happy to learn about more, so I can include them in these posts!
This week's conlang of the week is: toki pona! This language was made by linguist Sonja Lang, at first to see how having an extremely small vocabulary would influence the way speakers view things. But the language has quickly grown to have a large community, and even lots of speakers (for a conlang) due to it’s cute nature and ease of learning.
What do you think of toki pona? Do you speak it? Do you think it changes the way speakers will look at things? Tell us about your thoughts in the thread!
This week’s linguistic feature is more of a linguistic curiosity. Keeping with the theme of toki pona, we are looking at how your conlangs might influence the way its speakers think and act!
When German and French speakers were asked to imagine a key and describe its characteristics, they had vastly different answers. People speculate this is because of the grammatical gender that both languages have, one having a key be masculine, the other feminine.
And in toki pona, because you only have very little words to describe things it often forces speakers to break things down to the core of what they want to say, which might actually help them get their point across better too!
In what way might the features of your conlang influence its speakers? Or what things within a language do you think would influence the way people think the most? Please share it with us in the comments!
This week the post of the week is this great post by @[email protected] about how people seperate words in speech! Go check it out! https://hexbear.net/post/3003566
Happy conlanging everyone and thanks for being apart of the c/conlangs community!
o musi a!
pe'el!
This week's conlang of the week is: Klingon! The constructed language devised for the strict warrior aliens of the same name, Klingon was first heard spoken in 1979. Klingon is one of the first conlangs to be widely recognised in popular culture, with there even being groups of people learning and speaking the language.
What do you think of the language Klingon? Does it succeed at its goals? Do you speak some Klingon? Was it what first got you into the wonderful world of constructed languages? Tell us about your thoughts in the thread!
Keeping in the theme of Klingon, which was designed to sound extremely alien to the audience, the linguistic feature of the week is any feature not existing in a natural, human language.
Klingon was meant to sound extremely alien. This was mostly achieved by picking features and sounds that were exotic to English speakers. The most alien thing I could find in Klingon is the fact that it uses OVS word order, the rarest of all word orders. Some people say Klingon has not really succeeded at being "alien", because pretty much all features it has exist in some human language.
What cool and interesting "alien" features does your conlang have? Or which features do you think are super cool and would you love to see in a conlang one day? Please share it with us in the comments!
There will be no post of the week this week yet, as all posts so far have been made by us, the moderators. Maybe your post can be here next week?
Happy conlanging everyone and thanks for being apart of the c/conlangs community!
Qapla'!
