My father got arrested and almost jailed for burning MP3 and audio disks for money. These people can scrape other people’s work for profit, and then get applauded by investors.

Piracy for me but not for thee.

I wonder if the next step will be making it able for a human to copyright the output of generative AI models, only for that these companies making sure through terms of use that they’ll be holding 50+% of the copyright and the profits in case of selling their slop.

Dalek-style robots going around screaming “MUST BUST THE UNIONS!”

That would cut into their bottom line, they can’t have any of that!

Piracy for me but not for thee!

Even on “near 100% screen” devices, there’s still real estate on the side, for some function buttons, like bixby, back, home, etc. My Windows Phone Nokia had a dedicated camera button that could have alternative functions in some applications.

Not with AI generated slop.

But that can poison the AI to some degree.

I have a toolbox, that was originally a WWII ammunition box.

Well, compared to vinyls, they’re a lot more durable. Vinyls degrade by each play a lot more than CDs.

GPS privatization in 3…

Brain drain will eventually lead to a rightward shift, since more educated people tend to lean left.

Basically, KiwiFarms were formed by people who were too much for 8chan, which was formed by people too much for 4chan, which was formed by people too much for Something Awful.

Free speech absolutism was a mistake…

(If you ask: there are now people too much for KiwiFarms, usually those that also want to torture animals rather than going after animal abusers for internet cookie points)

I have heard a certain girl that is fit got you covered, but I’m not 100% sure. Might have been something I just imagined.

Even worse is, he can use the government to sabotage the competition, as Russia and Hungary did.

I have a feeling that one of Elon’s kids were the inspiration. One told him while watching Blade Runner or something with them “Why does the future not look like the future?”, then he decided to cook, and people around him let him.

No because of the oil industry.

AI can do the heavy lifting, but must not be treated as an infallable machine that can do no wrong unless it absolutely malfunctions, otherwise we get yet another YouTube, Twitch, etc.
