A truly heinous man has doxxed the Cornell victim on X and the comments are predictably vile. Based on countless interviews I’ve done with survivors, the trauma they are subjected to for coming forward is oftentimes even worse than the initial trauma they experienced. There is no real justice system

There is a long paper trail of AI execs having nothing but distain for the rights of writers, artists, and other creatives going all the way back to the first days of Stable Diffusion/MidJourney. The founders of both even tapped a fmr @eff.org chair and were told "Yeah this seems like piracy":

Question (please share)! What games industry speaker and/or what topic (games or not!) would make you consider travel to attend a conference/convention? Or as a games industry person, what speaker from outside of games would like to see at a con? Or topics that are not games specific?

When Coxon was suddenly ALL OVER the media, it felt to many like that was because his story deserved that much interest i.e. that the media was doing its job informing the public of an important threat. The wall-to-wall media coverage wasn't organic though, it was orchestrated: >>

I also want to add that rescue dogs often have trauma and have learned coping mechanisms for said trauma. You may be able to rehab that, or it's lifelong management. One of mine is a resource guarder and it took me 10+ months for him to be ok with eating in the presence of his brother in vicinity

(4) Not enough people understand that dog training is not simply making sure your dog understands commands like sit and stay; it’s about teaching the dog emotional regulation. Your dog is doing this shit because your dog is using destruction as a way to regulate their emotions.

This striking pre-Columbian greenstone masterwork depicts an Olmec shaman in mid-transformation, adopting the powerful facial features of a sacred were-jaguar. Originating from archaeological sites in the Gulf Coast region of Veracruz state, it was crafted between 900 BCE and 600 BCE.

L'IA bouleverse déjà nos vies de manières souvent négatives. Se concentrer sur une menace hypothétique, possiblement à survenir dans plusieurs années, permettrait d'oublier les aspects négatifs actuels. Ceci, à propos des révélations sur le massacre à Tumbler Ridge.
