Remember when China told Google to censor web search results and Google said, "No. How about we show those search results with notes that they were censored and why since the sites will be blocked anyway?", and China was like, "You can't show them at all.", and Google said, "Fuck you. We'd rather lose access to the Chinese market than violate our principles.", and instantly shut down any service in China that would require censorship or disclosing private data and closed all Chinese offices working on any of those technologies?

What a time we're living in.

Journalist: Read a press release. Write it in my own words. See some Tweets. Put them together in a page padded with my commentary. Learn from, reference, and quote copyrighted material everywhere.

AI

I do that too.

Journalists

How dare AI learn! Especially from copyrighted material!

I don't like that, "leftist", has become a word used outside conservative circles. It sounds shitty and is as meaningless as, "rightist".

Stereotyping is cool and funny. I don't see a problem. I expect the next post to be all the worst versions of women and nobody will criticize.

I also don't remember Han wearing a scoop neck, skin tight crop top.

It's mind boggling to see the volume of content Amazon has produced that nobody cares about. Rings of Power was $89 million per episode. Citadel was $42 million per episode. There are solutions other than, "Higher fees".

But Upload and The Boys are pretty good.

The explicit, stated purpose of copyright was to encourage sharing of ideas. When it lasted originally 14 years, it worked. Before that, you might have had a great idea and kept it to yourself because why take years of your life researching a subject and writing a book when a publisher's going to immediately copy it and pay you nothing? 14 years is plenty of time to get a return on your investment and most importantly, after that, it didn't belong to you anymore. It belonged to everyone.

For example, that would mean District 9 and Hunger Games would be in the public domain right now.

I don't understand. Facebook can get data from an open system whenever they feel like it.

What? Oh FFS. Context. Yes, Play Store has competitors, so yes absolutely a lot.

They also added a new definition for "very" to mean something other than, "factually", or, "verifiably".

You mean like Play Store?
