I guess ‘cool’ depends on personal interest and circumstances.
A house move likely prevents running our Aussie Halloween this year, after being featured on State TV news last year, but I would like to share past family/friends efforts to establish a fun spooky celebration, in circumstances where locally there is not an established tradition, originating because my daughter in-law grew up in North Carolina and she and my eldest son moved here at the height of the pandemic, so I have adopted Halloween as a way to incorporate her fond childhood memories into our local family and local Aussie community traditions, with the help of family members and many talented friends: scarymandercove.au

“While we disagree with the FTC’s allegations and characterization of the facts, we are pleased to resolve this matter and look forward to continuing to serve our millions of customers around the world.”…translation, we regret being caught but look forward to the opportunity of exploring alternate ways to exploiting consumers for profit.
- Comment on Microsoft says it caught hackers from China, Russia and Iran using its AI tools 8 months ago:
Isn’t everyone, and isn’t Microsoft the one helping to make these tools available?
And how will mere ‘blanket bans’ prevent hackers from finding ways to use and exploit Microsoft AI tools, after all is that not what hackers do?

So, OpenAI is admitting its models are open to manipulation by anyone and such manipulation can result in near verbatim regurgitation of copyright works, have I understood correctly?

- Comment on Telstra downplays possibility of allowing customers to roam rival networks during outages | Telstra | The Guardian 11 months ago:
Hmmm, I think this ignores the more fundamental issue, which is not core roaming by rival users, but rather ensuring 000 (911 in USA) coverage in emergencies, often people’s lives depend on that and in my personal view that safety net does need to be robust across and between networks, which are after all using an allocated public spectrum.

“Misunderstanding” seems to me an incredibly polite and dignified way to say deliberately mislead, given open source licensing and underlying principles have been around since before Meta existed.
