- Comment on Judge Rules Training AI on Authors' Books Is Legal But Pirating Them Is Not 1 day ago:
That’s kind of how I read it too.
But as a side effect it means you’re still allowed to photograph your own books at home as a private citizen if you own them.
Prepare to never legally own another piece of media in your life. 😄
- Comment on You're not alone: This email from Google's Gemini team is concerning 1 day ago:
I was at Google when it came out, I was like “sure this would be fine to use too, but everybody is on chat and Gmail and I kind of need to actually reach people…”
I think they just figured it would get dogfooded automatically because it was slicker than chat and Gmail, but under time pressure you’re just not gonna do it unless you have to.
And there was zero chance I was going to get anybody in my personal life to use it.

They expected me to treasure that bullshit too. Kept my seventh-place ribbons in a box for ten years until I threw them the fuck out

The article says that they are changing their policy so that even if you turn it off it will still be feeding your actions to AI.
Read the article yo.

Try lineage or graphene before jumping into the money pit maybe?

Knuckle too long, yeah, but a human artist could made that mistake too. Probably not one capable of painting that face, I suppose.

The hand is pretty good for AI.

Jogging is practice for how humans killed pretty much all the megafauna in the world: exhaustion hunting.
- Comment on Why is the progress pride flag so poorly designed (especially the intersex progress pride flag)? Will it be redesigned? 6 days ago:
You really nailed how a lot of trans and poc queer people feel about the Rainbow flag; it mostly represents cis white well off gay men and lesbian women, and implies everybody else.

This person has never been to a fucking kink party then has he?
- Comment on How does AI-based search engines know legit sources from BS ones ? 3 weeks ago:
They don’t, they just throw up whatever the Internet would be most likely to say in that context. That’s why they are full of shit.

Nice deep cut
- Comment on Mark Zuckerberg Thinks You Don't Have Enough Friends and His Chatbots Are the Answer 1 month ago:
I’m wondering whether this is a privileged/feels like deserves privilege white guy thing.
Down here with the queerdos and minorities, I’m seeing people engage more fully with each other, be more willing to take on friends and lovers, in the last few months.
Some are getting caught by chat bots, yes, but a lot of people are out there trying to grab human connection while we still can.
I certainly feel like the “I’m the übermensch and revel in cruelty, empathy is a weakness” mentality that the straight basic wypipo have adopted will not only discourage other people from wanting to be their friend, but also discourages themselves from seeking friendship, because they see it as a weakness.
- Comment on Apex Legends writer gets laid off 24 hours after the character she wrote is revealed, because that's what the games industry in 2025 looks like 1 month ago:
I was gonna get snooty about being an indie game buyer, then I remembered that I bought a Larian game developed in partnership with Hasbro, so my snootiness will have to wait for another day.

Remember kids: capitalists are fascists.
It’s that simple.
- Comment on Instead of Orange Man doing Tariffs would it not have been better for him to talk about shopping locally and so forth. And giving more tax breaks to companies that stay and sell in the US? 1 month ago:
He’s not trying to act in the interest of the United States.
He works for Putin.

I mean it’s nice that he had a bad day, but ain’t shit gonna happen other than the legal fees.
- Comment on The Social Network That Can't Sell Out: Understanding Mastodon vs. Bluesky 2 months ago:
I don’t think anybody who administers a mastodon server thinks it’s superior technology.
What mastodon isn’t is funded by fashy techbro asswipe VCs who will turn it into a torment nexus over time, just like X and Meta and Alphabet.
So Mastodon will continue to attract a small minority of people who don’t feel safe or wanted on a fashbro site. And that’s fine. I want to talk to people who think I’m human, not a bunch of Andrew Tate gargling fuck heads.

Ohhhh now this is actually pretty cool. I was disappointed they were doing it for MacOS, but I will definitely give it a try on Linux.
I like their search engine just fine.
- Comment on Nobody Wants a Nazi Electric Car 3 months ago:
8% drop in car sales isn’t great but I think the article is overselling the idea that the company is straight up dying. (Sadly) Most people just don’t make a connection between how they spend their money and the politics of the people they prop up.

Thanks for the input, Big Head.
