  Thank you for being a far better person than I, in that you actually give enough of a fuck to remember at least one specific, named person who was murdered in the way I was described.

  This is not sarcasm it’s a genuine emotional appreciation. I don’t have it in me to remember, since all the shit news day in and day out just all blurs together and is too much for me to cope with if I tried to remember, but I’m glad someone is.

  So… Same as it’s been since the war on terror began in 2001?

  Oh, now they can assassinate white people in first world countries, not just drop bombs on weddings in mideast countries. I see. Totally makes all the difference.

  (I am feeling very cynical here haha, I get this is a big significant legal precedent for the USA but yeah)

  1. Mayor says the city will stop using tech by the end of 2024.

  2. Tech is still operational in April 2024 (8 months before the end of 2024).

  3. Breathless expose article showing that the tech is still in use.

  4. Profit???

  More like, OpenAI has said “so what if we were speeding, everyone does it” (did that work last time you got a ticket?)

  Relevant exerpt from the article: “The company recently made a similar argument to the UK House of Lords, claiming no AI system like ChatGPT can be built without access to copyrighted content.”

  Honestly, Wikipedia doesn’t avoid this. People constantly game the rules to remove or change content that doesn’t suit them. I recall an instance where employees of a company were busted editing that company’s page, they were caught because there were so many different editors all from the same corporate IP. And that’s just the low hanging fruit that makes the news - I would wager there’s 10 instances that never get noticed for each one that people spot.

  Ah yes, a 650k company for a company making billions.

  Proprtionate to my own income, that’s like $50 fine. Pathetic.
