AI slop and it's architects are garbage

So is 99% of the "art" created by humans.

So they prioritized not adding in sirens because they supposedly would only be useful for people who aren't from the area. A lot of the people who died in the recent floods were not from the area. These are towns that depend on tourism, aka people who aren't from the area. They knew it was a problem but didn't care because these type of events are increasing in frequency and destructiveness due to climate change, which they continue to deny.

Oddly enough, we saw a huge surge in people visiting from out of town during Spring Break.

Kerr County was notified by the fire department and took 90 minutes to send out a notification

Someone compiled all of this in the r/Texas sub in Reddit piecing together how the county knew their systems were inadequate back in 2016 but didn't want to fix it.

Most of the "sales" are just items being sold at their regular price with a fake discount slapped on in an attempt to trick people into thinking they're getting a good deal.

Outside of school, my girls still need a way to communicate with everyone, why would we limit that?

Who said we should? Just keep the phones out of schools. It really isn't that complicated.

so instead of hand waving and instilling pointless fear, lets understand reality still exists.

The reality is that people have been going to school in the US for decades without cell phones. Kids didn't need phones in schools then, and they don't need them now.

No they don't. If someone (who would need to contact a kid at school except their parents?) needs to contact them, they can call the office. If your kids need to contact you, they can go to the office.

How about banning cell phones in schools? They still have the option of going to the office to contact you. Why do parents like you feel the need to be able to reach your kids instantly at any time during the school day? Maybe the solution is for you to quit being a helicopter parent or to homeschool your kids.

Education has always been evolving, but acting like we need to find a way to reach and teach them through their cell phones is fucking stupid.

AI still pumps out better quality than 90% of the slop made by real people that ends up on the radio or on TV.

It's really simple - people want to be paid forever for their work they recorded once .

FTFY

Are those clauses still valid when the software and support for it are no longer available? Can Microsoft audit me over a copy of Office 97 I bought 28 years ago?

I would hope that removing all consideration for one party by no longer supporting the product the agreement is based on would invalidate said agreement. The balls someone has to have to wash their hands of a product by no longer offering it or supporting it and then trying to audit people are still using it.

Does such an agreement continue to exist once the vendor stops supporting the product? Seems pretty one-sided to no longer provide any support yet still have the right to perform audits. I would hope that such an agreement would be invalidated if it was ever brought to court.

What is keeping these customers from simply ignoring VMware and these auditors?

Some people would rather do anything in the world than pay attention to the road while they're driving. And it seems like police have completely given up on enforcing any traffic laws.
