Server-based, would have been the accurate term from the company charging so damn much to access theirs in perpetuity.

One would think they'd be quite familiar with the concept they dare not speaketh..

Speaking of garbage in, am I confused or did Google just basically replace their for-profit advertiser revenue streams with..themselves? How exactly does Google make money using Google AI here?

The garbage out(put), might soon be the least of their concerns..

* meanwhile at Netflix HQ *

(Marketing Director) "Sir, about your idea for Gone in 60 Seconds 2; The Theft of Irony..well..I'm afraid it's been..stolen.."

Technically..that sounds like a fitting sequel. Not unlike the first one.

Rife with stories of a 70-IQ man coming home with the Medal of Honor to start a multi-million dollar shrimping business under the navigational guidance of the god Poseidon, with those hurricane-riding reflexes honed during a stint as national ping-pong champion sponsored by the US Army..

Was that subsequent script written in protest, or profit?

Didn't they try and use the tactic of unique digital watermarks to reveal _exactly_ which person leaked the limited-pressing DVD screener back in the day? I seem to recall the underground community ironically revealing that when downloading the HD screener off USENET opening day weekend..back when Hollywood still wasn't smart enough to protect their IP.

Humans gonna human. If you can't trust your meatsacks, hire better meatsacks. If screening is part and parcel of Hollywood, then a screening community still learning about their unencrypted mistakes the hard way could easily hire a security team who does nothing but transport and decryption. After all, those are "only" $50 million dollar thumb drives laying around.

To be quite honest, the story sounds so incompetent you have to wonder when the insurance agent with Actor Loss Prevention Services is going to show up to assess the tenfold value of a perfectly timed "theft"..

Yeah, but did you take a hit of that vibe code? Shits fyre, bruh. I'm talking 90% fresh.

Me and my Botz got you, bruh.

Sure it can. You can make those involved a very limited group. Make the works they create downright classified. Involve mens with guns. Lots of guns.

Say for example if Hollywood decided to only release it to those pre-paying for that 90% freshness rating..

I tried this, but some self-saving depreciating bothole kept auto-rejecting my request for *.linkedin[dot]com..

Screeners, are the morons who need the end product dumbed down. If they're going to act that way, then they should understand physical security shouldn't be anything less than the era of $100 million+ dollars worth of IP being handed around in an "unencrypted" film canister. Did we have actual security guards with guns back in the Casablanca era of screening, or was Hollywood IP stolen and Gone in 60 Seconds back then too?

(Because the movie is yet unreleased, the damage is the same whether or not a "master" or "copy" is leaked. They're fucked either way. Could party be why the story is described so badly.)

Probably a valid question for the person who hired this person to hand-deliver the IT policy written by the moron in charge of cybersecurity..

..not that I'm pointing fingers at the shit rolling down a hill or anything.

In all seriousness the human hand-delivering IP, was supposed to BE the fucking security. As in the same kind of security when Hollywood IP was sitting in an unencrypted film canister. If a CEO can't trust a human hand-off, they probably shouldn't be trusting their own HR with PII. Their mistake was not enforcing a timely delete policy by following up an hour after screening. If you're going to spend the money to hand-deliver IP, spend the money to hand-collect it or spend the money to ensure you don't have to.

Now this becomes a matter of who is responsible for damages when IP is leaked like this. Who is the custodian of transferred IP and the defined responsibilities.

This will likely change how Hollywood stores IP. Which means a guy named Skroob will set the combination lock to 1-2-3-4-5..

Almost certainly?

Strong words for a career catalog in which two thirds never made it to $45 million. Not sure how many others weren't even profitable because it far exceeded the cost of this bargain. Cutting your paychecks tenfold in exchange for share-rolling the Dice of Profit, must be part of the excitement for him at this point. I guess any true artist, enjoys chasing the manufactured struggle.

Fuck LinkedIn.

Fuck it right back into the social media cesshole it manifested from.

I don't need this kind of AI-tainted pain, to simply find a fucking job.

Any real employer will agree; you don't need this kind of pain, to simply find a fucking employee.

LinkedIn exists today for human employment. The answer for AI on that platform, is an outright ban. Not a fucking feel-good button.

The Nic Cage financial strategy of funding your lifestyle fuckery with lawsuits, will meet the wall of Hollyweird reality when insurance pays out $30 million to the lawyers and hands Nicky a check for 37 cents and a coupon for two free movie tickets and a large popcorn.

On a related note, $45 million over 7 years is a comparative bargain in Hollywood now. I’m shocked it was that cheap, but that probably didn’t include the $100 million needed for COVID PPP loans funding the great Hollywood Pause..

At least we know why Google HR doesn't dare run that list internally.

The output would be quite the novel titled The Irony and the Hypocrisy.

I came for the comments.

Now I need a new keyboard.

Spanks a lot there, Helpy Helperton.
