I think that is definitely just a cover because they don’t want to admit they’re actually developing supersonic stealth planes for the military.

No, but many still living people can and do consider the fact that a giant media corporation is puppeting a dead man to squeeze the last bit of profit out of him to be more than a little fucked up. Not an infringement of his rights specifically, but IMO an infringement of ethics and decency.

Standup comedy is meant to be relatable, the best standup material makes fun of the writer’s real experiences and/or common experiences of the audience. This is just my hot take, but I think an AI writing standup comedy is and always will be completely soulless because the AI has never experienced anything and is just putting words together that it doesn’t even know the significance of, and is doing so purely based on the statistics of how real human standup uses those words. Even with AI acting out standup written by humans, they still don’t understand what they’re saying and the emotions they supposedly show are still based on statistics. If you find AI standup funny, you have that right, but I personally don’t and that’s just me.

SLA doesn’t get enough love. It’s still the most reliable battery type in adverse conditions, especially cold temperatures.

Reminder that the most dangerous drug in terms of deaths caused per capita is alcohol. Refined sugar and HFCS probably has alcohol’s numbers beat if you consider that a drug though.

They were probably concerned that all their employees seem to be getting cancer.

I tried to report a scam givaway ad I saw on the YouTube homepage. It told me to sign in first. I promptly closed the tab right then.

The two biggest charity events he’s had, Team Trees and Team Seas, he did literally nothing but pitch the idea. He was giving away luxury shit and engaging in his usual hedonism during the period he was telling his viewers to donate, and it’s not like he did any of the work either, he just contracted with established environmental nonprofits. So why is he there again? Why didn’t he just tell people to donate to those nonprofits directly?

Also, he definitely profited from both charity events and they were more marketing events for himself than anything. All the videos have ads and he made no mention of donating the ad revenue so one can only assume he kept it (because if he was going to donate the ad revenue he absolutely would not pass up on making that known to everyone), not to mention the amount of engagement it brought to his other videos and his brand as a whole. That’s also assuming he doesn’t do what most influencer charity campaigns do and directly take a big cut of the donations as a marketing fee or something.

The platform whose CEO openly endorses antisemitic “Hitler was right” Tweets would censor left-wing views? What a shocker!

I think looking at copyright in a vacuum is unhelpful because it’s only one part of the problem. IMO, the reason people are okay with piracy of name brand media but are not okay with OpenAI using human-created artwork is from the same logic of not liking companies and capitalism in general. People don’t like the fact that AI is extracting value from individual artists to make the rich even richer while not giving anything in return to the individual artists, in the same way we object to massive and extremely profitable media companies paying their artists peanuts. It’s also extremely hypocritical that the government and by extention “copyright” seems to care much more that OpenAI is using name brand media than it cares about OpenAI scraping the internet for independent artists’ work.

Something else to consider is that AI is also undermining copyleft licenses. We saw this in the GitHub Autopilot AI, a 100% proprietary product, but was trained on all of GitHub’s user-generated code, including GPL and other copyleft licensed code. The art equivalent would be CC-BY-SA licenses where derivatives have to also be creative commons.

I encourage everyone who likes sugary soda to at least try flavoured sparkling water. Personally I have replaced nearly all my soda intake with it, and the fruit flavored ones are surprisingly sweet without any sugar or artificial sweetener, and I imagine are way healthier than even diet soda. If you find that you like it, getting a sparkling water machine like a Soda Stream is also more environmentally friendly and more cost effective if you drink a lot of it as well.

The UN is entirely powerless against the US’s allies because the US has absolute veto power in all UN resolutions and will never let anyone defy Israel.

Well, Tony Stark is a fictional character in a fictional universe, so real science or how the real world works in general don’t need to apply to him and he only needs to conjure up some cool sounding tech words for the audience and the plot will do the rest. So Elon Musk is indeed like Tony Stark, only issue is he is also indeed the real life version so has no plot to back him up and all the rules of real life still apply.

He definitely wants a programming language where the array indicies start at 69 and end at 420.

Maybe he’ll ask AI to make it for him.

Get over your election loss. It is what it is is it not?

Coding at night with the lights off makes you feel like one of the cool movie hackers.

Also, I hate Boeing as much as the next guy, but with how complex any aviation accident sequence is, I’m inclined to withhold finger pointing until the investigation concludes or at the very least a good amount of information has been released. I support grounding the planes for safety during the investigation, and I also support criticism and scrutiny of Boeing in general since they definitely deserve both, but to say this specific case was definitely Boeing’s fault at this stage is being premature.

And it’s not like Alaska Airlines has never caused an air accident through shoddy maintenance of otherwise soundly designed aircraft. They should absolutely not get a pass until their involvement is definitively ruled out by evidence.

Honestly I’m surprised the EU even lets this be called tea. It really should be “tea flavoured beverage” at best in the same way they won’t let “American cheese” (the Kraft singles stuff) be called cheese, no?
