You forgot the "Sheeple!11!1" at the end.

You're confusing and conflating various issues. And no, focus.de isn't a serious website. Neither are the rest of your gossip sources.

1) the number of life-changing adverse events reported was researched. It's nowhere near the numbers claimed if you only account for the ones actually caused by the vaccine. A lot were caused by people already infected and taking the covid effects as vaccine effects.

2) in Germany there is a very profitable and very large "alternative health" industry. They didn't like the vaccine one bit. It cut into their profits.

3) if you would take your own figures seriously, how many people worldwide would have had life changing effects? It would be 1:5000 according to sources linked, or in the USA, 68000 people. I think we'd have noticed, don't you?

It's only Turing complete in the sense that Excel is Turing complete, I.e. with massive effort you can do it, but it's not worth it.

The programming language should be tSQL or PL/SQL. Adding embedded SQL to a C program doesn't magically change the C to SQL, and stored procedures only embed SQL in their own language. A language with similarities to Pascal and ADA in the case of PL/SQL.

I have the opposite position here. Vb.net is superior to C# because it gives you less options to shoot yourself in the foot.

Given that devs all think they're godlike l33tmode hackers, this isn't a popular opinion. But many software devs could do more and better work with a less difficult to master language.

A new CEO would of course have brought his own team with him.

This is the wet dream of all AI companies that already scraped the internet: just launder your information through another company, like deepseek did, and you're good to go. Meanwhile, no new entrants can compete with your existing dataset.

Yeah, anyone who thinks this law was meant to protect starving authors need a good head check.

Fuck rentseekers. Fuck eternal copyright.

They're all just parasites looking for a quick buck.

They were getting paid, but they saw opportunities for more extraction of value without doing additional work. Its the definition of rentseeking. Its also not something that's in the public interest - the work was created already, the artists presumably paid. If they weren't, maybe they should learn to negotiate. But this is just extortion.

The only thing left is to find one of them using the slogan "that's a nice establishment you've got. Wouldn't want a nasty lawsuit to happen, now would you?"

It works not because there are underpaid people, but because music license are so convoluted that it's impossible to risk it.

A few years from now you may have 20 organisations, because it seems like free money. And I bet that none of the artists will get paid any better than they are today.

A) that's Japanese.
B) that's not Kung Fu.

You might as well yell "don't touch Star Wars" and it would be just as relevant.

You first have to figure out why you think China is anything other than a pretty standard state-capitalist state with a red flag and a standard anthem. Really, they model themselves on the USA for quite a few things, except the ones at the top like to stay there as an inherited feature.

The USA is just lagging a bit, you'll get there eventually. Capitalism and a truly free society cannot coexist long term.

While not off-topic (meta mods still asleep?) I think the question was: is there such a society of free thinkers that despise AI?

I don't see one. I see a lot of scared artists and rentseekers, but few actual thinkers that join them.

Yep. They're a bit heavy handed with the enforcement but they really want to get the number of deaths down to a more reasonable amount. They're installing more solar and wind power each year than the rest of the planet combined. Not just for clean air, but also because they want to reduce oil and gas dependencies.

If you want to know why the Koch brothers don't like China, well, this is one reason.

Oh, duh. Yeah, I was stooping low, but not that low. There's not a single ounce of critical thinking in that crowd, I fear.

20 years? Burning fossil fuels started a lot earlier. Think 200 years.
