Amazing how they’ll let people use AI to impersonate you if it falls under fair use and it won’t be immediately taken down. But a copyright holder can destroy your channel and/or livelihood in a blink of an eye regardless of how you use the copyrighted material

This sucks but what can we expect in our current climate of surveillance. We’re ok with having network connected cameras in our doorbells as well as the state and other businesses being able to surveil us to keep us “safe”. Only a matter of time before more stuff like this starts happening.  

And in the end, all that grandstanding this government was doing was just to play in our faces because we are not going to do anything to harm our benevolent and fragile corporate overlords. 346 people can die for profit but don’t touch nary a hair on an executive.

Not surprised by this as being paid was the only contention record labels seemed to have had with AI. And I can see in the future that if this deal does happen, labels will start to stipulate that artists have to allow their music to train AI in their contracts.

We should not have to subsidize the wage paid by employers. Especially given the racist origins of tipping in this country. But it sucks that this can hurt workers but what can we really do? Sure you could write your politicians about this but when the American people want something, it’s more than likely not to…

and to be specific, the American industry as tipping is not an expected global phenomenon

Abe getting his Lincoln log waxed lol

It would be better morally but not so much for the stock price and business. And if existing on this planet has taught me one thing, what’s good for capitalism trumps any moral quandary one may have 

The fact that he mentions that it’s been settled and he’s been paid pretty much admits to his guilt without explicitly saying it. As soon as I read it I immediately thought, Amazon caught him doing something so bad that they were willing to buy out his contact and quietly sweep it under the rug to avoid the bad…

And they should be prosecuted. You should not be able to hide behind a corporation when you are willingly doing things to endanger the public. Cutting corners for profit on an object carrying people in the sky sounds like manslaughter at the very least

While I loathe advertisements now with a passion, the ads back in the 90s and 00s were so good. Maybe not good on selling you what the hell it was but entertaining to watch. Now I just get annoyed with clearly out of touch marketing people desperately trying to be “with it” 

This is not surprising. Since corpos are not bidding for ad space, there have been a bunch of ads where people are not even selling anything. Just statements.v One was just a tweet saying schools are indoctrinating our children with a picture of the guy and another was, Sony, give us Little Big Planet 4.

While I sail the high seas quite often and have no qualms with the fact at all, making people pay for it is vile to me. At most, ask for donations to keep the server running but getting rich off of others work, nah. 

There was some guy that built a shoddy rocket to prove his “theory”. I believe because his calculations were based on a flat earth it never got off the ground and he found a way to make up something to cope with his failure

There’s a part of me that hates that this will exist because the people behind it will think they’re dunking on the silly idea, while in the midst of that it will propagate the idea and give it credence. But the other part of me recognizes it’s on some soon the be dead streaming service that only people who believe…

10 dollars a month so I can ask it for a pasta recipe and it tells me to use turpentine instead of wine like I’m Phillip Seymour Hoffman in The Master

Nothing short of amazing in how it took Biden almost his entire presidency to find funding for this but the Pentagon or genociders need two seconds to get whatever they want. But I’m glad we are doing something besides sitting on our hands until 2030 or 2050

If Nintendo can sue someone for ten million dollars and win, an amount of money most won’t see in a lifetime on top of three years of imprisonment, then this should be fair game. Both are instances where they’re not suing mainly for the money but a point. But corporations are treated more humane than actual humans so…

Modern day humans will look at this and scoff with superiority as if their country doesn’t continuously sacrifice them everyday just to maintain its power. Sure it would suck to be selected as a person to die just to hope to keep the drought away. But at least they won’t look at you starving while hoarding…

Great. So we have another YouTube copyright situation but worse. Now writers will have to do all kinds of lingual gymnastics to get around the new rules that affects humans, decided by computers.
