This is like when Dr Evil asks for $1 million dollars after being unfrozen. These courts need to get with the times.

Too much optimism and hype may lead to the premature use of technologies that are not ready for prime time.

Understood and have seen the comments. I don’t blame you for being upset. It’s a crappy situation.
- Comment on Ars Technica content is now available in OpenAI services 2 months ago:
Damnit! I still like and respect the Ars Technica staff but Condé Nast can piss off.
I feel for you KingThrillgore. I was thinking of supporting the site with a subscription but not after this. Still if enough people stop subscribing we may loose them altogether. This is a double edged shit sword.

- Comment on Disney Seeking Dismissal of Raglan Road Death Lawsuit Because Victim Was Disney+ Subscriber 3 months ago:
This is atrocious. Coincidentally Disney is planing to open a park themed with villains. Seems like they can save time and money by renaming the whole place Villain’s World.
I’ve been a few times in my younger years but have zero desire as an adult. Sure they have some nice rides and attractions but the Disney culture is a huge turnoff to me, as are the very high prices of everything there. If I were to take a vacation that costs similar I’m off to a national park or maybe international travel. I prefer real culture over fantasy land.
- Comment on Reddit CEO teases AI search features and paid subreddits 3 months ago:
The Lounge is where you were given access. That subreddit was ok on its own but really it was a good place to hang out, be friendly and helpful which sometimes resulted in being invited to other private sections of Reddit.
Some of those private subs have a true sense of community who are truly kind, respect each other and fun to interact with. Before the awards went away there were many games with prizes and multi-day parties with lots of engagement and fun. Not anything like the regular Reddit.
Those places still exist but activity has declined since most third party apps and the awards/coin system were taken away. That decision not only damaged the public Reddit subs but also the private ones.

I’m not one to praise Google often but I think their Popular Times feature can be handy to see how busy a place might be. This live feed video stuff is way over the top and invasive.

- Comment on Are there any genuine benefits to AI? 8 months ago:
One of the better uses I’ve heard of is in search and rescue type situations. Using AI to find specific items, people or anomalies on a map or video feed can be helpful.
An example regarding wildfires:
- Comment on Recommend me a wireless earphones/headset with good audio...that is PINK in color 8 months ago:
Here’s a list from a Best Buy search. Even if you prefer to shop elsewhere it gives a list of several pink headphones and earbuds.
If she does any gaming Astro (owned by Logitech) used to have pink versions of some headsets.

- Comment on With no access to crypto, disgraced FTX founder Sam Bankman-Fried is now trading fish to pay for services in prison 11 months ago:
“It didn’t take long for former crypto-billionaire Sam Bankman-Fried to learn the economic system of New York’s Metropolitan Detention Center.
On Thursday, the Wall Street Journal reported that SBF paid for a haircut with packaged mackerel, a type of pelagic fish that is a choice of currency among inmates.
The fish, popularly referred to as “macks” among inmates, has been the choice of currency in federal prisons since 2004, after cigarettes were banned, the Wall Street Journal previously reported”.
Look at Sammy Big Macks over here.
