This is one of the reasons I am against those people that want to rebrand the "shelf of shame" to something less inwardly negative. To me it is like of I had the opportunity to remove hangovers from excessive alcoholic consumption -- I would decline.

🍒) A China company released a new global launch of a new, fancy, wizbang, actually open AI model on 5:21pm on a Friday. 10) Amazon do their best Mark Wahlberg impression when pressed about being instrumental in taking down AAI's flagship products. 5/5

7) AAI's only options, since it was impossible to guarantee that the only people using their models were US citizens, on US soil, they pulled the plug on their biggest products. 8) AAI are still paying their Amazon data centre bill of the many hundred of millions. 4/5

5) on 5:21pm on a Friday afternoon, the USA government sent a letter to AAI informing them that they need to shut out anyone foreign from using their ultra advanced AI models, including people in the USA, who are foreign nationals. 6) On the behest of Amazon. 3/5

3) Their product is so aggressively risk-adverse that it will regularly refuse to read a tech blog, in case that tech blog has anything that the user could use to create weapons, et cetera. Their AI is so advanced it is practically a weapon. 4) Amazon have their own competing AI models. 2/5

Oh gosh, it is soooooooo much, sooo much, sooooo much better than that. 🧵 1) Anthropic AI have be telling the government that their models are so powerful it could be a weapon, but they have the tightest controls on their AI products in the market. 2) AAI use Amazon for their data centres. 1/5

We are calling for an immediate stop to all purchases from Upper Deck. Their total lack of communication is distressing—so we call upon everyone to help us escalate. No purchases from Upper Deck. No media coverage or posts of their games. Upper Deck will only respond when it hurts their wallets.

Piffle. 'Divisive' isn't a rebuke for a cartoonist, it's a requirement. People express their divided opinions & beliefs on every political cartoon, opinion piece, whether they want a cup of tea & increasingly, on scientific facts. Often in articles & 'letters to the editor' solicited by the SMH.
SMH editorial headline 'Wilcox cartoon was divisive' added to an apology for offending some readers. It doesn't reproduce the cartoon with it that so people could decide for themselves.
