Comment Re: Solution: Build housing in SF (Score 3, Insightful) 218

I said this for 25 years and then crime and politics sent me packing.

10 years in the burbs, I would never ever move back into a big city.

And it has nothing to do with me being old. Even young adults out here are cooler and more refined and less chaotic.

You can keep your urban planned ghettos.

Comment Copyright protected derivative work. (Score 1) 140

AI is the ultimate in derivative work... even if it was solely trained on copywrited images, those images aren't present in the output.

It's like saying artists can't draw cars similar to Ferrari's because Ferrari holds a design copyright. Looking at it backwards, if we want to prevent artists from drawing things that are like those that are manufactured... they wouldn't be able to draw a jeep in their works for example.

Silly artists.

Comment Re:Poor prediction of inflation last time around (Score 0) 83

This is mindless.

Companies have to raise prices during fearful times in order to profit now so they can cover the potential losses later.

I jacked my prices up BIG TIME in early COVID because I didn't know if I would be out of work in 2 years. I made a fortune in 2020 and half a fortune in 2021 as things equalized and nothing really bad happened.

I deserved that profit for taking a risk, tho. If things would have gotten shut down for me, I would have had enough cash to weather 2-3 years of outage and rebuild my businesses.

To wit, fuck you for your collectivism.

I am no conservative nor MAGA fan but I do believe Facebook etc acted as State actors during Covid and should be regulated as a State entity.

I have only registered and voted Democrat in my entire life and I am serious about putting some of these social network barons up in front of the Nuremberg courts version 2.
