If they do it themselves they open themselves up to a lot more issues than simply buying it.

I posted this when Youtube was doing it by ‘mistake’ too…

If you are paying to not receive ads, and you receive an ad by mistake, they should pay you whatever they earned on the ad. Now… I doubt they’ll actually pay you dollars, but lets say at minimum 1 day of free extended service per ad, but if they earn more than 1 days worth via the ad, then it should be whatever that is.

Torrent it thousands of times so the movie execs freak out about the massive theft they are suffering.

OpenAI wanted to use her voice as one of the voices for ChatGPT, she said no, they got someone else to record it where it sounded eerily similar to her in Her, she sued, and they dropped it out of ‘respect’ for her.

I mean… did you read the article? He really wanted to be in the film, and his family and estate think this is the right move and what he would have wanted. It wasn’t clear if they talked to him about it or not, but this isn’t just a blatant lets do it thing with no consideration.

“You get used to it. I don’t even see the code. All I see is blonde, brunette, redhead”

Alas, we’ll stop seeing that.

I dunno, if we do that it might cause some black market certificate situation with people trying to unlawfully place male toilets in the female bathrooms.

Maybe we need to go by where it was manufactured, and maybe they should come with labels etched into the porcelain so they don’t get mis-gendered and placed incorrectly?

What about intersex people… can they go in both?

That’s actually a really easy answer.

It’s female.

les toilettes - in french.

A felony? LOL

I wonder if they are smart enough to put exceptions in for children where the father or mother may possibly take the child into the ‘wrong’ bathroom.

Maybe im just really cynical around people today vs how they may have been back then.

Every floor-crosser that joined Macdonald’s government came from the Anti-Confederation Party — a coalition of MPs mostly from the East Coast that sought to undo the formation of the Dominion of Canada.

That party collapsed during the first Parliament and its MPs largely dispersed between Macdonald’s Conservatives and the Liberals. Anti-Confederation Leader Joseph Howe himself joined the governing caucus in April 1869.

What??? How could you invite people who wanted to undo your very country into a party after they fall apart.

Holy shit you weren’t kidding

Over the past few months, our former payment provider Nexi S.p.A. (“Nexi”) requested access to private data, which we understood to be specifically the usernames and passwords of our supporters. We have refused this request. All our attempts to clarify Nexi’s request, or to understand how their need for such information was necessary and legal, were met with what we consider to be vague and unsatisfactory explanations relating to a general need for risk analysis.

. However, all of his emails sound like the most heavily sanitized corpo-marketing-speak.

I know exactly what you’re talking about. I sometimes use AI to help get a 2nd opinion on what I’ve written myself if its for my business, and there’s a lot of personalization and human touch in how I write things, especially when writing a blog post or an email to a customer I’m not entirely sure about.

The AI is good for finding areas that might be a little long, or maybe you say something twice and it isn’t needed, or you’ve made a really long run on sentence… but if you were to just take the AI’s suggestions at face value and use them, it completely de-perosnalizes it and makes it all trash.

I have to give it explicit instructions nowadays not to do that, and how I’m only looking for minor things to touch up.

Hey Ivan, did you hear they hit our repair shop last night?

Ivan: damnit, how am I supposed to scam them out of repair funds now and wtf am I going to do with my last order of duct tape and elastic bands???

I feel like there’s a joke in there that hitting a repair spot is useless because they cant repair their shit anyway.

Im convinced that the CEOs use it to write some emails or brainstorm ideas and suddenly they think it can do everything, so they fire everyone and then everything falls apart because it cant do what they think it can.

He fits. Thats means he must sit.

Hearing all those secondary explosions was pretty cool.
