SIG Sauer put out a gun that can go off on its own. That did less harm than OpenAI has done, and SIG was held to greater liability than OAI ever has.

I'd say I don't want to rain on your parade but my worst quality is I'm passionate about marketing so I am actually all too happy to talk about brand guidelines and why it actually sucks that Roxas is dabbing

holy shit, this is the whole ballgame in a single paragraph gAI systems require mass theft of copyrighted works, for the explicit purpose of replacing the market for the people they stole from, and the people in charge knew what they were doing ahead of time, and did it anyway

this is my biggest pet peeve with the way the Internet has evolved. under no circumstances do I want to watch a video about your product, opinion, or recipe. I read like 3x faster than you can talk. video is such an inefficient form of learning & the switch to video primacy annoys me so much

I've yet to see any counter-evidence to the idea that popular media does not understand software or the digital landscape. In fact I've only become more convinced that the press just stopped trying to understand it at all anymore over the last 15 years or so.

I'm not sure if there was any version of 2XKO that was likely to meet Riot's expectations. But, 10 years of development is how you turn even the best possible conditions into a worst-case scenario. These are not mutually exclusive.

The best feedback I've ever gotten was not sugarcoated in the slightest. They didn't try to spare my feelings, they respected me enough to give me candid feedback, and it helped me figure out where to improve.

‼️ACTION ALERT: The Senate Commerce Committee is holding “kids safety” circus again, this time considering both KOSA (the Kids Online Safety Act) & SCREEN Act, two of the most dangerous censorship & age verification bills on the table! CALL YOUR LAWMAKERS & TELL THEM TO OPPOSE 📲 248-331-8665

The image is a graphic poster with a vibrant red background and contrasting dark purple text. At the top, it contains the message: “Senate Commerce Committee is taking up KOSA + SCREEN Act THIS WEDNESDAY” in bold white letters. Below this, in a larger, informal handwriting-style font is the phrase “TAKE ACTION” in yellow. At the bottom of the image is a phone number, “248-331-8665,” displayed inside a rounded rectangle in dark purple. The overall layout is eye-catching and designed to attract attention to the call for action regarding legislation.
