Lastly, she’s a fucking mermaid. Who gives a shit? How many of the dude bros bitching even watched it?
They also chose to set the entire movie in the Caribbean because there’s not fuckin colorful tropical fish off the coast of Denmark, it’s not like they randomly made her black for no reason
Shooting people isn’t a constitutionally enumerated right of the office of the president
She’d have to order one of her executive employees to do it
That’s it young man, I’m revoking your DNA privileges
Health insurance companies sure seem like socialized healthcare but with some rich guys that steal money out of the pot
LA to NYC is roughly the same distance as Lisbon to Moscow
The way I see it, creatives lose no matter what here, so they can either lose and only the corpos benefit, or they can lose and everyone benefits
OpenAI losing their case is how we ensure that the only people who can legally be in charge of an LLM are massive corporations with enough money to license sufficient source material for training, so I’m forced to begrudgingly take their side here
Ah yes, the famous Russian Number Kitty Stations
“The three biggest social media sites on the internet are nothing but screenshots of the other two” is how I heard the last 10 years described
Depending on how important these large language models end up being to society, I’d rather everyone be able to freely use copyrighted works to train them, rather than reserve their use solely for the corporations rich enough to pay for the licensing or lucky enough to already have the rights to a trove of source material

80% of mozilla revenue is from google
You can’t escape
Canada is closer to the EU than the island of Great Britain is
Arguing with someone, within the confines of the marketplace of ideas, about how the marketplace of ideas should be abolished, is a fools errand
If they refuse to even agree to the basic social ground rules of discourse whatever they have to say isn’t even worth entertaining
Every single one of your upvotes on lemmy is already public due to how the protocol works, it’s just currently obscured by a bit of work to get them (have to run your own instance, assuming there already isn’t some online tool to easily look them up)
Making them publicly and easily visible would only remove the illusion of privacy we currently have, not actually make your upvote logs less secured in any way
I tried that but it doesn’t run very well on the Pentium II
They don’t need it though, China already had a very robust traditional passenger rail network which is the primary reason many of these high speed lines are hemorrhaging money: people aren’t willing to pay the increased cost for a high speed ticket
