    The "What made you happy today" thread!

    I know it's stupid, but waking up this morning and NOT seeing my legs covered in long, dark brown hairs. Sometimes it's the little things, I guess.

    AI don't trust techbros

    I don't want it outlawed across the board, BUT at the same time I also want the economy to change so that generative AI won't kill the lively hood of human artists. Same way I feel about pretty much every other form of automation. The stuff can coexist, if we just drop the ultra-capitalist...

    The Twit destroying Twitter is a Twaitor

    Simple. He's a techie industrialist who read a lot of SciFi while a kid and picked up the wrong lessons from said books. Internal Combustion engines are SOO 20th century. An electric vehicle, now that's cool. It also gave him an opportunity to be 'first' in some areas, which feeds his...

    The Twit destroying Twitter is a Twaitor

    Grifter who got rich because of his daddy's money supports a grifter who got rich because of his daddy's money. Really, Musk is just Gen X Trump and the more he gets in front of the camera, the more obvious it is.

    AI don't trust techbros

    Fair enough. Problem still lies in enforcement. It's notoriously hard in many cases to prove what data an AI is trained on and, well, AI companies aren't exactly forthcoming on providing said information. The law would have to ALSO force AI companies to publicly share the list of materials...

    Traitor Watch - The 45 & 47 Thread

    They don't have to accept it. If they want to try Jan 6 pt 2, they will fail even harder than last time. There won't be someone sitting in the Oval Office looking the other way this time.

    What stupid thing did the GOP say or do this time? Episode 3!

    She's not throwing her vote away, she's trying to shore up her own re-election. Maine has essentially rejected Trump and she doesn't want to loose her seat by sucking up to him. The Republicans have chosen Trump and barring the only example of pongo trumpus dying before the convention, he...

    AI don't trust techbros

    In theory a simple script to edit the files enmasse would work, assuming the format in question even has the option to embed said data. Of course you would also have to ban AI from using legacy data that has been floating around since before the regulation was put in place. In practice I don't...

    Harris-Walz / Dems

    Ominous, yes, but it hasn't passed yet. There's still time for them to remove those riders.

    We live in a capitalist dystopia

    I disagree on the first part. Company broke the law, it's contracts with the enablers of said illegal acts should be null and void(which is why I singled out the senior executives). As far as the second part.... My only issue with doing that is the fallout. The average bank teller likely had...

    The US Supreme Court and its decisions

    She's also 100% THIS is exactly what impeachment is for. It's not simply to remove your political rival from office(I'm looking at YOU, members of the so called Freedom Caucus), it's to fight against power grabs and corruption. It definitely WON'T go anywhere with the current house and senate...

    We live in a capitalist dystopia

    Likely just a slap on the wrist. Probably made 10 times the fine they were assessed. Frankly the minute a company gets a fine like this the company should be required, at the very least, to remove the CEO and all other senior executives WITHOUT honoring their severance packages(NO GOLDEN...

    The Twit destroying Twitter is a Twaitor

    I thought Musk bought twitter to get rid of the bots. Looks like he was forced to remove them by the US government.

    What stupid thing did the GOP say or do this time? Episode 3!

    You would think that eventually they would wise up.(maybe they have in the case of Cruz, fingers crossed)

    What stupid thing did the GOP say or do this time? Episode 3!

    Yea, the 18 and 22 year old are both technically adults. Either the article left out some key details or the article chose a very poor example.

    Misc. European politics

    That's good to hear. Hopefully the US can have similar results to the UK and France this November and keep the fascist elements at bay for a bit longer.

    Harris-Walz / Dems

    Also consider that the 1940s were only 40 years removed from the 1980s. People who were watching his movies at the peak of his movie career would have been as young as 50 at the time of the election. His movies were also re-released in theaters AFTER that time period and were eventually being...

    Harris-Walz / Dems

    Correct, the term B Movie changed naturally. While it once referred to the lesser movie in a double feature, the meaning has shifted. Heck by the 80's the meaning had shifted to mean pretty much any movie with a highly constrained budget and questionable production values(granted at that...

    Thought I had just overlooked the post yesterday. Shame it didn't happen. Ah well.
