It literally costs them money to make YouTube worse so that you can pay them to make it better again. NewPipe go brrrrrr

“But I don’t want to eat the moldy cabbage on the ground outside!”
“Okay, do you have an alternative, or are you just gonna whine? Eat up!”
- Comment on Reddit will warn users who repeatedly upvote banned content 3 days ago:
They probably did this specifically because people were upvoting our favorite plumber.
- Comment on Indie devs have begun adding a no generative AI stamp to their store pages 1 week ago:
I don’t have a problem with games creating their own models trained only on things they created. I believe charging money for anything using assets generated by a model trained on data they didn’t have the rights to should be illegal. If a model is trained on data that they do own the the rights to, but didn’t create, that’s a weird gray area where I think it shouldn’t be illegal to sell its results, but you should have to disclose that you used it.

I like to use AI autocomplete when programming not because it solves problems for me (it fucking sucks at that if you’re not a beginner), but because it’s good at literally just guessing what I want to do next so I don’t have to type it out. If I do something to the X coordinate, I probably want to do the same/similar thing to the Y and Z coordinates and AI’s really good at picking up that sort of thing.

To me, what makes the difference is whether or not it’s trained on other people’s shit. The distinction between AI and an algorithm is pretty arbitrary, but I wouldn’t consider, for example, procedural generation via the wave function collapse algorithm to have the same moral implications as selling something using what most people would call AI-generated content.

Could a state order all businesses operating in that state to stop paying taxes?
- Comment on Could a US state prevent its citizens from paying federal taxes? 2 weeks ago:
That would mean that the corporations basically paid people’s taxes for them, right? Wouldn’t that just get factored into salaries?
- Comment on Could a US state prevent its citizens from paying federal taxes? 2 weeks ago:
I guess it would, at most, only work with people who get paid from the same state.
- Comment on Could a US state prevent its citizens from paying federal taxes? 2 weeks ago:
This is the answer I was looking for. Thanks! A simple “no” wasn’t very informative.
- Comment on Could a US state prevent its citizens from paying federal taxes? 2 weeks ago:
I don’t mean legally, I mean “just doing it” regardless of the law.

That’s the sad truth.

I think we need laws against platforms censoring discussion of their rivals, particularly with shadow bans and shadow delistings.
- Comment on This is America 4 weeks ago:
Which continent is America? I only know of Asia, Africa, North America, South America, Antarctica, Europe, and Australia.
- Comment on This is America 4 weeks ago:
The name may be really stupid, but America is the name used to reference the United States and is recognized by hundreds of millions if not billions of people. North America: continent. South America: continent. The Americas: 2 continents. America: 1 country. Just because it’s dumb doesn’t make it not true.
