this was difficult to read, but it's important to know people are currently in prison for 50+ years for attending a protest + one wasn't even at the protest, but got sentenced for 30 years for "concealing" anarchist zines

This is your occasional reminder that generative "AI" in particular could have been developed on public domain materials and/or licensed and compensated works but the major players intentionally, methodically and systemically chose to steal labor from working creative folks instead

Have you noticed, lately, or noticed people around you commenting, that there just seems to be no money anymore. There's no money for companies to make the tv shows you like, the video games you like, the local diner you like shut down, no one you know can find a job. Think about that in context of

It’s been a very long time since I was in NYC, but afterwards everyone told me how rude people were there, and I was like “I just didn’t rudely get in people’s way, paid attention to what was around me, and was polite when I interacted, and everyone was totally fine?”

Basil, thyme, oregano, bay leaf, in whatever combination you like can all work, salt and pepper. Best if you cook them in broth, if that’s allowed. Even vegetable broth would be great. Whatever veggies you can do - I like celery onion and carrot.

A thing I learned not too long ago is that when an LLM selects a token that leads it down an incorrect path (factually), it has no way to back up, or even know that it should back up, it's just on to the next likely bit. Literally every LLM is just posting their way through it. What an image.

One of the reasons I have always beaten such a loud drum on internal accountability is, these people test the waters to see what they can get away with. If people shrug off misbehavior rather than address it, these folks know they've found a good host space for their toxicity.
