Bonjourrrrr
Un personnage manifeste "nous voulons des droits !"
un autre personnage en tenue de CRS le tape sur la tête.
Le manifestant répond alors "Hey va te faire encore... !"
A la TV on diffuse l'image seulement du manifestant en train d'insulter le policier après avoir été frappé avec le commentateur qui dit "Un pauvre policier lourdement protégé a été agressé par un civil extrêmement violent".

This is a good illustration of how so much of AI theft isn't indirect (ie, data sucked into a model to train the chatbot) - it's actually **direct** copying, but *enabled* by GenAI. Of course it is: chatbots absolutely suck at creating good, new stuff.

Un monde parallèle où la préfecture de police parle de « violences » en montrant du serum phy, un foulard, des boules quiès et des paires de lunettes. Lundi dernier, un policier a fracturé la mâchoire d'un adolescent de 14 ans avec un tir de lance-grenade Cougar : www.mediapart.fr/journal/fran...
un tweet de la préfecture de police qui montre le matériel confisqué (lunettes, serum phy et boule quiès) et un message : "Manifester est un droit. La violence ne l’est pas. Avant les rassemblements, les policiers procèdent à des contrôles et saisissent les matériels susceptibles d’être utilisés pour commettre des violences ou des dégradations."

Since the mid-1950s, we have changed the thing that "AI" refers to every 5-10 years. The current thing we're calling "AI" is about a decade old, and all this label-switching leads to a lack of clarity as to what (this) "AI" is.

C'est fou l'estime qu'on a pour la pensée politique de nos jeunes: les pauvres sont manipulés par la gauche et l'extrême gauche. À aucun moment on se dit que peut-être éventuellement ces lycéens pourraient... ÊTRE de gauche ou d'extrême gauche? Genre ils réfléchissent et ont un avis politique? Non?

Gemelli has played a lot of Hollows. More than me, that’s for sure. So that’s why you should have a bash on his thorough (and, admittedly, glowing) review of our game:
Sometimes things veer into record-keeping, breaking out rulers and cone templates. Sometimes you just don't feel the sense of danger right out of the gate.
Enter the Hollows grid system, which wrestles these problems to the ground and makes them squeal:
