I mean I know what my clients are doing after they had their lifetime licenses revoked after a month.

Switching to xcp-ng is about half of it.

Now that they charge $8 for a fucking hamburger I haven't gone in that place.

Brewers know people do horrible things when consuming their product. They can't claim they are innocent.
Car makers know their cars can be used as deadly weapons. They can't claim they are innocent.
Camera makers know stalkers will use their equipment to break the law. They can't claim they are innocent.
Microsoft and Apple operating systems are used to commit cyber crimes. They can't claim they are innocent.

Actually, they can; because it ultimately is up to how the end user themselves uses the product. They tried to sue the VCR, cassette deck, and CD-R drives out of existence on the argument that "it can be used for this and therefore they're culpable for creating devices that enable it".

When we wanted Net Neutrality, the GOP stood up and said "BUT MAH FIRST AMENDMENT!" saying the ISP had the right, under the first amendment, to operate how they wished. That blocking, limiting, or censoring traffic was their ultimate right.

Oh...but now they want to take some of those same companies that they disagree with and FORCE them, by law, to abide by the first.

Do they still want ISP's to censor content? Yes. Do they still want companies to fire people for expressing themselves? Only if they're not conservative.

The fact is they are, at this point, picking away our rights. When you consider there are people that decide WHAT your rights are, you realize the idea of rights are absolutely bogus.

The people that screamed the democrats were the evil regulatory nazis are in fact the evil regulatory nazis.

Republicans maintained we can't have net neutrality because "that would violate the ISP's first amendment rights".

Shut the fuck up.

It's police in general. Several years ago I had the tags stolen off my vehicle. Filed a police report. Two weeks later I received 4 red-light tickets. Cameras had seen my plate on a black van.

The problem is I do not own a black van. My registration clearly stated I drove a red pickup truck.

To make matters worse, even after submitting the police report, copy of my registration, and appeal; it would be SIX months before I heard a decision. I was expected to pay the fine and be reimbursed if the appeal went in my favor.

It didn't. Turns out they refused to accept the stolen plate story and wanted me to prove I hadn't put my plates on another vehicle; at least till they found the van 2 states away and arrested the driver.

Dynex as well.

They don't know if you're not in the same house if everyone looks like they are.

"you shouldn't have put a strap on it."

This is also similar to a 20 page list of other comedians I've seen over the years.

The material was not creative. It was forced. It wasn't funny because two words in I had pretty much guessed what they were going to say. When you can guess the punch-line before the setup, guess what...it's a failure. A big part of comedy is "surprise".

Carlin's comedy made you think. This...just regurgitates pop culture in a style similar to a number of comedians.

I'd believe it. It was pretty lousy and not funny.

Except it did a pretty piss poor job of it. Horribly piss poor. Like if they fed carlin's transcripts and books in to this thing then AI is a total failure of a technology because it entirely missed the mark.

I mean I think it was last year Elvis' estate shut down all the Elvis impersonators in Vegas over likeness rights.

They were able to return but only after paying rights to the estate; and Elvis died 30 years before Carlin.

Likeness rights anymore are like copyright. Artificially extended.

The entire thing seemed like Gallagher doing a bad Carlin impression trying to make his fill-in jokes in to long-form. Same low-quality jokes, the voice was more Gallagher doing Carlin than Carlin. It was a total embarrassment to stand-up.

The insult is the estate is taking the thing seriously. Did they watch it? The jokes were trash, it was the worst set I'd ever heard. The voice was garbage too.

I've heard better comedy at open mic nights from guys who were pissing their pants. It wasn't funny, it didn't seem original, and if anything it should prove just how bad AI is at stuff.
