I worked with lawyers on IP for long enough to know that this is *probably* going to go in Smuckers’ favor. Any practicing lawyers please feel free to correct me here, but it seems like there’s plenty for a ruling based on the shape combined with the package photo.

“Y’all should be mad AT the unethical things happening, rather than using the technology as a scapegoat.”

I don’t hate Luke. I love Luke! I love his shitty taste in faux-wooden or stark, retro-white consoles. I love his sensible, cut-to-the-chase writing style. I love his constant-output work ethic that generates high-quality articles.

Who asked him to?

Well, to be clear, what you’re talking about is “dumb” ad real-estate algorithms, not really “dumb” data collection.

It’s actually a bit of an industry joke that people think advertisement devs would waste the bandwidth of sending constantly streaming audio data through their networks at all times. It’s just not feasible to do the surveillance that people assume (mostly because it wouldn’t be hard to detect, whether or not it was…

Don’t bother with magus-21; ne’s a self-important contrarian.
