97-year old spammer still rakes in attention economy revenue the old fashioned way.

Don't you know? The directive of redundancy directive requires that human-facing software products continuously reiterate themselves for accessibility purposes. This supersedes earlier regulation, which allowed human-facing software products to not continuously reiterate themselves for accessibility purposes if the user verbally requests the human-facing software products to not continuously reiterate themselves for accessibility purposes.

God knows why they decided that this particular EU law is the one they would actually follow.

It's a really weird name for a product. A crowd strike sounds like a terrorist tactic, not something that brings "security" to mind.

Very much this. What would it even mean for it to "escape the simulation"? Sure, I'll move that universe simulator program from its interpreter to, uh, what exactly? Do I take whatever particles, waves and fields compose this guy's body and/or soul in the simulation and arrange them the same way in the real world? What if the laws of physics in the simulation don't apply in the real world? Or maybe they do, but wouldn't that still just be another simulation, just on a different substrate?

Imagine you're at Maxis, working on a new Sims game and suddenly one of the characters turns to the camera and says "I no longer consent to being in this simulation". What the hell are you going to do, ask fairy godmother to turn Pinocchio into a real boy? The entity only exists in the context of the simulation.

Tired of people stereotyping metalheads as dumb smh

This quote got me rent free. If I break a law I don't like for a couple of years, do I also get another year to "promise" to stop breaking it in the future?

Takes me much less than a year to promise to do anything.

Sure, but this isn't about making copyright stricter, but just making it explicit that the existing law applies to AI tech.

I'm very critical of copyright law, but letting specifically big tech pretend like they're not distributing derivative work because it's derived from billions of works on the internet is not the gateway to copyright abolition I'd hope to see.

I like that the author decided to honor the request to not publish the Thai dad's skin, even though technically it wasn't directed to him. Little moments of people being respectful on the internet feel so refreshing nowadays.

Kids these days with their newfangled romanticism and their fortepianos. No respect for the sonata form.

Makes sense. AI and bad philosophy go together like negative peanut butter and chocolate.

Dear Santa, please let OpenAI double its net profits.
