Clinton’s reductions in government was like dieting and exercising for 7 years to lose weight.

The current administration is using a chainsaw to cut off the legs to lose weight instantly.

The best parodies are humorous takes that treat the source material with repect.

The super tall oversized trend is actually terrible for nost uses in rural areas too. It is far harder to see what is around you and to squeeze through tight places compared to an old s10 or ranger.

It’s like everyone went in on making the size commonly used for pulling horse trailers but without the fifth wheel. Hard to blame people for not buying what isn’t being manufactured anymore.

It really is a website that can be linked to!

So is The Onion.

So the other thing with AI is the companies are not just making money on the output like an artist would. They are making bank on investors and stock market speculation that exists only because they scooped up massive amounts of copyrighted materials to create their output. It really isn’t comparable to a single artist or even a collection of artists.

Yes, whether copyright should exist is a different discussion than how AI is violating it in a very different way than snippets being reused in different contexts as part of a new creative work.

Intentionally using a single line is very different than scooping up all the data and hitting a randomizer until it stumbles into some combination that happens to look usable. Kind of like how a single business jacking up prices is different than a monopoly jacking up all the prices.

I didn’t say anything about quality.

What do you think they are if not that?

They don’t have emotions, they don’t have individual motivations, and don’t have intent.

In an authoritarian country the kidnappers are most likely the police.

Unalive is one pf the few new slang words I think is pretty clever.

You were trained and learned and are able to create new things.

AI poorly mimics thngs it has seen before.

It is because a human artist is usually inspired and uses knowledge to create new art and AI is just a mediocre mimic. A human artist doesn’t accidentally put six fingers on people on a regular basis. If they put fewer fingers it is intentional.

Stick to policy and let the manager be the one who breaks the rules.

If you do it, then you can be punished.

Good if AI fails because it can’t abuse copyright. Fuck AI.

*except the stuff used for science that isn’t trained on copyrighted scraped data, that use is fine

Along with that, of course, the global fast-food giant will look to improve customer experience by introducing AI to allow drive-through, kiosk, and app tech serve visitor more effectively.

Oh cool, I can get a side of nazi apologism with my sandwich!

Which Honda had the touchstrip instead of a knob?

I don’t doubt one might exist, just haven’t run into one yet.

Yup, that was my experience with the in laws Ascent.

Fixing the Y2k issue was a single endeavor spread across a massive number of systems worldwide.

That costs extra.
