More likely trained to remove all artist credits.
- Comment on DOJ renews call for Google to sell Chrome, and Android could be next 2 weeks ago:
They’ll sell each of them off to be run into the ground by some other billionaires. Both are heavily subsidized by Google’s ad business which is still somewhat unobtrusive up front. As much as Google’s services have degraded, it will be much worse with another company at the helm trying to squeeze as much value out of their investment as possible.

This will be the subprime mortgage crisis of the 2020s.
- Comment on AI-powered bookmark wants to revolutionize the way you read — $129 Mark 1 offers AI-generated summaries 5 weeks ago:
It will almost definitely have a list of “supported books”. That’s the only way they could be generating summaries unless they’re having the user take pictures of each page.
- Comment on GPT-4.5 1 month ago:
In their human choice benchmarks it was only chosen 59% of the time compared to 4o. That’s a 15-20x cost increase for 9% difference.
- Comment on Why the 2020 video game Immortals: Fenyx Rising doesn't infringe on the trademark of the 2011 film Immortals? 2 months ago:
Immortals is far too generic to be a problem, there are plenty of other works that also use that name. The name changed from gods and monsters because they didn’t want to fight monster energy and potentially delay the game.
- Comment on Justin Trudeau resigns as Canadian prime minister - live updates 2 months ago:
They get to maintain their influence (however small) over the government for another 9 months. Trudeau stepping down is an easy out for the NDP to claim they got what they wanted.
- Comment on Justin Trudeau resigns as Canadian prime minister - live updates 2 months ago:
Inflation is high, quality of life is slipping, etc. Everyone thinks he should be doing more and the Liberals don’t like his odds if an election is called.
- Comment on Justin Trudeau resigns as Canadian prime minister - live updates 2 months ago:
Inflation(read: gouging) is a massive problem which isn’t being tackled, housing is unaffordable, and the medical systems are underfunded (due in part to the exploitative US system). There’s also some conflict in our relations with Mexico which I’m personally pissed about but I don’t most are concerned with.
The opposition party is headed by a far right “populist” who claims the current status quo is “authoritarian socialism” and is supported by Jordan Peterson and Elon Musk.
Liberals are upset with Trudeau for failing to fix the issues listed above and offering no counter to some of the legitimate populist policies Pierre champions.
- Comment on Justin Trudeau resigns as Canadian prime minister - live updates 2 months ago:
The NDP isn’t dumb enough to support a no confidence vote. They threatened to do so to get Trudeau out but there’s no way they’d go through with it. The projected conservative majority would kill the influence they currently have.
- Comment on Will pilots-less airplanes happens first, or driver-less cars? Why? 3 months ago:
The reason plane accidents are less common is because the worst licensed pilot is more competent than the average licensed driver by a wide margin
- Comment on Will pilots-less airplanes happens first, or driver-less cars? Why? 3 months ago:
Airplanes will never be pilotless, there will always be a human in the loop for redundancy. A failure in a self driving car could kill a few people at most, a failure in a pilotless plane could kill thousands.
