SA has its history but the people who are left grew the fuck up and are by and large decent people. Seriously.

When I was in college I really admired Slashdot's anonymous posting / dedication to free speech, but at some point you learn the ironic Nazis are just real Nazis always feeling around to see how far they can push their limits.

With age and wisdom I'm convinced a paywall + relative freedom to ban paying users is the way to go. At least if people want to burn their venture capital money (or their personal money) to run bot or humans with an agenda on your site, they are paying handsomely for the privilege.

This is actually the answer though. SomethingAwful (for whatever you think of it) charges $10 since forever and its provided money for the site and for the most part kept out spam and bots. Combine that with human moderators who have the authority to ban people (or robots) if they pay that and start acting like a piece of shit anyway, and you walk away with a decent online community.

Steal until you have it all, then hire a security guard.

Now they have another excuse for brutal company-wide layoffs.

If you honestly think you can make a movie anyone would want to watch with AI prompts you are a fucking idiot. Thank you.

Instead of telling the publisher, we'll just redirect all those links to our cash register!

You try that shit on my site and my lawyers will form a litigation Voltron that will bend light.

It's funny when it's not you, isn't it?

Let me guess. You thought "tuk r jerbs" was funny too, didntcha?

They're all clearly unqualified losers who don't have any marketable skills. Right Reddit? ^H^H^H^H I mean Slashdot?

I rode a few while on a trip to Phoenix and it was way better than the average Lyft or Uber ride I've taken.

It drove defensively, I got to choose my own music and climate control, I didn't have an driver tapping on their phone to plan out new rides, or high, or bragging about how they've been driving since 5am, or complaining about how they've been driving since 5am.

This is coming from someone who is typically pretty skeptical of big tech bullshit and a fan of labor. I still use the cashier when there is a self checkout, etc. But the tech here is so good that its going to destroy all of those uber drivers (assuming it can sort of handle weather -- I can't speak to that)

It's called creating a derivative work. Manuscript -> training model. That is a right reserved exclusively to the copyright owner under 17 U.S.C. Section 106.

Swiping an entire work (in secret) to create a commercial derivative and then renting it to customers worldwide is not fair use.

The book. Not the property.

How the Internet declares books worthless and writing a wasted degree until some sociopath asshole wants to build a trillion-dollar mountain of bullshit with them?

Richard Stallman doesn't believe pedophilia is wrong, so I think it's fair to ignore his other legal opinions as well.

Under Article I section 10 of the Constitution, states are forbidden to enter into treaties or alliances with foreign nations. This includes trade agreements. Those are all exclusive powers reserved to the federal government.

Less stressed? Since this shit came out our management has lost their minds and every clarifying question/pushback has been met with "Ask ChatGPT".

They've gotten really lazy about specifying what they want and one slipped up and used the language that he was going "prompt" another engineer.

AI can do anything. Except pay.
