“Boring and Safe” when the man has a button to literally annihilate the world 10 times over and can literally lead the world into WW3/massive trade wars/destroy countries over night seems petty logical.


Not really.

Now the 15 sponsored links will be irrelevant to YOU as a user since they can’t personalize the ads.

They can still use context advertising which does not use your personal information but only what you are giving to them for search.

Amazon search is probably the least impacted by this, since they use context advertising by default.



You can also copyright the original character and make AI generate all the motions of that character. Since the originals was (human) created and copyrighted, it doesn’t matter that AI created art derived from that character isn’t copyrightable in of itself.

Plus there is also trademarks for character likeness.

All in all, I agree with you, this is a non issue for Hollywood studios.




That’s not how any of this works.

Removing the Canadian news from Facebook doesn’t hurt Facebook one bit. It’ll just hurt Canadians by preventing them from seeing news from local sources.

Facebook never needed news to keep people engaged. They just need content, and they don’t give a shit whether that content reflects reality or not, nor do they care of the content came from Canada.

But hey, I’m the corporate shill right? Whatever helps you sleep better at night.


Oh great, I was hoping we left all the sarcastic non-comments that attack people and adds nothing to the discussion in the speddit botscape.

Can we not?


This is not great at all. You’ll just have pseudo “news” organizations fill the void.

Your crazy uncles won’t stop sharing articles, but instead of coming from Fox News, they’ll be coming from AI spin-offs of infowars and AI Epoch times.


Who is our Jordan Peterson equivalent?

Reporters and intellectuals can be role models but they are more passive than actively preaching what masculinity should mean.



The left needs to own healthy masculinity and properly address very legitimate issues that disproportionally hurt boys in our society.

Otherwise we will lose a whole generation to toxic male role models in the manosphere.


From the article,

In 2022, the total number of cases dropped during prosecution rose to 26.28%

So it does sounds like a significant portion of cases get dropped.

Again I’m not an expert on either system, but what I do know is that the judicial system is in dire need of reform in China, but it doesn’t seem like it will happen anytime soon.


The Japanese legal system is caught in a circular spiral of injustice, where the perception that prosecutors only bring charges if someone is guilty makes judges extremely unlikely to ever rule someone innocent.

That’s exactly what I mean. Basically from the data, it’s difficult to tell if China’s model follows this type of approach.

I agree, it’s a terrible system in Japan, but the Chinese judicial system has its own massive issues of an ineffective judicial system, and this data does not seem to give much of a context of why the prosecution conviction rates are so high.


This was more or less a reflection of my personal experience.

When I was in school, we were taught how to do research. It involves going to Libraries and looking for primary secondary and tertiary sources via the Dewey decimal system. We were taught how to use almanacs and even had an almanac competition on how fast someone can find information.

Public institutions such as the Library system in the United States, were our “temple” of knowledge. Public support for Libraries was historically VERY high.

However, since the popularization of search engines, it has radically reshaped our expectations of finding information. We expect to find it at our fingertip, in less than 200ms, at the cost of quality and gatekeeping institutions that filtered out a lot of junk knowledge.

I was able to find a few articles talking about this: https://firstmonday.org/ojs/index.php/fm/article/view/2477/2279

I especially love the quote, “Conflation of information retrieval with knowledge”


Hard to make much out of this data. Does this mean the further collapse of judicial efficacy in China? Or does this more or less reflect a different typo of judicial system where prosecutors will only pursue when conviction is guaranteed like the Japanese system?


Sure, just do what California did via the CCPA and CPRA.

You can opt out of that party selling your data.


It 100% is more tax efficient and effective than going through the judicial system for every single warrant they want to execute. Can’t blame them for that.


I think the logic is more that if AI is inevitable, might as well be the first to make a shitload of money from it.




Slap some 2D anime girl avatar on it and you got yourself a top grossing v-tuber.


Google search engine destroyed lots of jobs. I would even argue, from a US perspective, it even changed our relationship to institutions of knowledge curation (libraries, news papers, magazines)



We’re all just learning here, but yeah, that’s pretty interesting to learn about effective synthetic data used for training.


"Our primary conclusion across all scenarios is that without enough fresh real data in each generation of an autophagous loop, future generative models are doomed to have their quality (precision) or diversity (recall) progressively decrease," they added. "We term this condition Model Autophagy Disorder (MAD)." Interestingly, this might be a more challenging problem as we increase the use of generative AI models online.

My old canon printer is still going strong. 3rd party cartridges are very cheap.



just one more turn and my grand strategy will be complete, wait actually one more turn, but wait there is that resource I need to get before I forget next time I boot up, oh but wait this construction finishes next turn and I need to optimize this city so lets just do one more turn, oh hello there sun.




Alpha Centauri. Just reading through all the wonder quotes and worldbuilding is amazing.


FF X needs a true remaster / remake
Now that ffx/x-2 HD is 10 years old, isn't it time for a true ffx remake? I have such great memories playing the original game as a kid, but the current HD remaster screwed up the character models. I would love a ps5 version of ffx. The story is absolutely wonderful, and I'm sure if someone puts a decent amount of effort in it, they can fix a lot of the more grindy parts of the game along with a blizball update that could make it really fun.

Unfortunately the primary job of the CEO these days is more or less investor relations and relationship management between the C-staff. Can’t automate that quite yet.



What I never understood was why not tie API to Reddit premium. Such a simple thing and it would’ve converted a lot of users without all this fuss.


And the left wing politicians during the French Revolution never prosecuted minorities in the name of the republic?

Damn, what happened to the entire Occitaian culture?

Oh wait, it was deemed an enemy of progress.

  • The monarchy had reasons to resemble the Tower of Babel; in democracy, leaving the citizens to ignore the national language [that of Paris], unable to control the power, is betraying the motherland… For a free people, the tongue must be one and the same for everyone. -Bertrand Barère

If you want to use that definition of left right from the French Revolution, fine, are they not “left” when they literally sat on the left side of the National Assembly?


So was the USSR not a leftist government?

I feel like we’re going into the semantics of who is a “true” leftist.
