Lastly, she’s a fucking mermaid. Who gives a shit? How many of the dude bros bitching even watched it?

They also chose to set the entire movie in the Caribbean because there's not fuckin colorful tropical fish off the coast of Denmark, it's not like they randomly made her black for no reason

Shooting people isn't a constitutionally enumerated right of the office of the president

She'd have to order one of her executive employees to do it

The way I see it, creatives lose no matter what here, so they can either lose and only the corpos benefit, or they can lose and everyone benefits

OpenAI losing their case is how we ensure that the only people who can legally be in charge of an LLM are massive corporations with enough money to license sufficient source material for training, so I'm forced to begrudgingly take their side here

"The three biggest social media sites on the internet are nothing but screenshots of the other two" is how I heard the last 10 years described

Depending on how important these large language models end up being to society, I'd rather everyone be able to freely use copyrighted works to train them, rather than reserve their use solely for the corporations rich enough to pay for the licensing or lucky enough to already have the rights to a trove of source material

OpenAI losing this battle is how we ensure that the only people that can legally train these things are the Microsofts, Googles, and the Adobes of the world so, bizarrely, as much as I think OpenAI has turned into greedy corpo scum, I feel compelled to side with them here

Changing your search engine doesn't stop Google from controlling 80% of Mozilla's revenue or almost the entirety of the rest of the browser space

I just don't like that we're relying on the goodwill (or need for token "competition" to try to avoid antitrust) of Google for Mozilla to stick around, an ad company shouldn't be de facto controlling almost every single browser

I've always been curious how many lines of code in Chromium and Firefox are from salaried software engineers, and how many are from community contributions
