If we had a federal government that wasn't firmly up the ass of Big AI, they'd make it a crime for an AI to put people in mortal danger by sending them into wilderness areas with fictional instructions. If a human kept doing this, they'd probably go to jail, even under existing laws.

I’ve said this before, but it’s sort of insane that no British political party is willing to champion Games Workshop, one of the country’s most successful, British born and run companies, and would much rather simp for Palantir or OpenAI

There is a bleak sort of pleasure in telling people who bring up AI in casual conversation, “Actually, I’m one of the authors AI stole from. Not an exaggeration. The judge ordered them to send me a check.” It hits them different when it’s a real person saying it.

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

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.

every Kids in the Hall bumper (seasons 1-5)

Yeah, bizarre! That’s one of the few things I know about the show so I’m extra baffled. Maybe someone filmed it on vacation or in a city close to Massachusetts. I did find a bumper compilation if I feel like exploring further: youtu.be/0gUVe0GWRZw

Tangential: Wait what I didn’t watch this show back in the day, why does the bumper or whatever right when the skit ends show a Boston Herald vending machine 👀
