Something AI is responsible for that doesn't get enough talk: How, when it scrapes a website to illegally steal everything on it, it uses up a ton of its bandwidth allotment, crashing it or racking up massive fees for site owners.

Anecdotally speaking, I've seen so many love it or hate reactions to PRIMETIME. And I think I'm fascinated by "the why" behind those reactions, as they seem to stem from the layered and varied nature of the work itself. Which is why I wanna know what you think! www.patreon.com/filmcrithulk...

If you're wondering why authors are getting so rabid here: First Anthropic stole our books. Then we got denied compensation because of US unjust copyright law and publishers failing to meet their contractual obligations. Then publishers and agents apparently claimed author shares. Now this.

As a new Harry Potter trailer makes the rounds, it bears repeating that there’s no way to watch this show without supporting J.K. Rowling’s bigotry and the structural violence she’s inflicting on the trans community.

This is set up for laughs, but it’s actually one of the best demonstrations I’ve seen of how being capable of producing convincing sounding language and understanding meaning are two completely different things. A chatbot does not understand you, it just has automated responses based on your words.

Mergers are “bad for everyone except those at the very top – the billionaires who saddle the new companies with debt and profit handsomely from the pain the rest of us feel.”
Let's begin with a statement of fact: mega mergers in Hollywood are bad for writers.
They're also bad for actors and directors, for production designers and caterers, for carpenters and Teamsters and electricians and set decorators. They are bad for consumers, who get fewer choices in entertainment controlled by fewer bosses with narrower worldviews. Mergers are bad for local businesses, who lose paying customers from disappearing productions.
They are bad for high level TV and film executives, and entry-level assistants, and everyone in between.
They're bad for everyone except those at the very top - the billionaires who saddle the new companies with debt and profit handsomely from the pain the rest of us feel.

Maine is one of the only places in the country where prisoners keep their right to vote. But logistical barriers to voting still contribute to their larger exclusion from the political process.
