Do the dance!

That’s a lot of votes and comments.

It was probably the KYS initials.

there was a gap in US music IP law for like 40 years for anything from before the system was nationalized in the 70’s

The system is still shit, especially for music.

The poor already don’t have copyright laws, and the rich continue to have their safeguards. This is already how it is.

What? You think those laws on the books are for you? No. Only the rich get to enforce those copyright laws.

It’s even worse than saying there’s no copyright laws, because the poor think they have them.

WTF, Germany?

This is a big part of why fair use is in such a bad state right now: no predictability in how courts will rule on it as a defense, plus no way to keep you out of courts in the first place.

That’s not completely true. Fair Use has four declarations that you must pass, so there’s at least some definition to how it would play out in the courts. But, it’s not a definitive rule of law, so yeah it’s not going to keep you out of the courts.

that is technically transformative, but most likely not enough to justify fair use.

Right, but it’s pretty obvious that the transformation for AI is very transformative, and it’s lossy at that. After the training, you can’t just duplicate the image it was trained from, even if it was asked a thousand times.

You use hyphens because they look cool.

I use em dashes because Oxford Standard Style Guide for English dictates how it should be used.

We are not the same.

Alexis left Reddit suddenly with some weird excuse, too. I think he got word of the stock plan and immediately jumped ship.

Tesla isn’t really losing anything except a bunch of fake market value. It was incredibly overvalued, and now this market correction is sorting itself out.

I didn’t really see anything block-worthy in that comment.

The top oligarchs like Elon barely even registered it.

Elon admitted to Jon Rogan a week or two ago that he’s using his kid as a human shield to protect himself from an assassin.

If you wanna know what they’re afraid of, look at where they spend money - buying politicians and opposing attempts to regulate them and break up their monopolies.

Actually, mob justice and dying actually does scare them. It’s the one thing they can’t just buy their way out of.

Cut billions of dollars in aid to the poorest people in the world? Without having any authority to do it? An average person would stop and think “how many people are going to die from this?” Or, more selfishly, “what consequences will I face in the future if I do something so fundamentally evil?” Or, more practically, “is what I’m doing legal, and will Trump and Musk throw me under the bus and claim I acted without orders if I get criminally charged for this?”

These kids aren’t thinking about long-term consequences. They’re thinking “the richest man in the world chose me to transform America and I have to live up to his expectations”.

You’ve almost got it right. An average person would stop and think about shit like that. A psychopath would not.

They may be young adults, but they are still adults. Adults still go to prison for doing stupid shit that gets people killed. All of these adults are getting people killed. Literally.

They know why they are in that department and job. They want to take an active part in dismantling their own government.

Fuck these people.

For people who pirate HBO service products, no changes, your lifetime subscription to piracy is still valid.

Damn right it is.

This post should be pinned on some Wall of Shame.

Louis Rossmann shouts this from the YouTube rooftops all the time. Why not Randall?

The good news is that you aren’t missing much because Vox videos and articles are a mile wide, and an inch deep.

NVIDIA’s stock tanked a month ago, and it’s already back up. Nothing really changes. There’s no such thing as a “plunge” in the stock market, unless a business is truly going bankrupt.
