Futurama has accidentally become a fascinating document of social change
  • I just recently started rewatching and I was amused by the “gender neutral pac-person” arcade cabinet in the first season, a gag that became even more topical over time.

  • So clean
  • Happy to help!

  • Thousands of authors demand payment from AI companies for use of copyrighted works
  • Covered under copyright != how easy it would be to claim damages.

    Ok so this is the point I’m trying to understand. If there is no recourse for someone to claim damages, in this case as internet comments because otherwise everyone would be claiming damages any time someone ever copied the text of their original comment, then what would even be the point of listing it as something that “cannot be copyrighted”? It’s like saying, well, the text on this post -it note is copyrighted because “text on post-it notes” isn’t listed specifically as works that cannot be copyrighted.

  • Thousands of authors demand payment from AI companies for use of copyrighted works
  • Then why post a link dealing specifically with twitters terms of use agreement? There is nothing copywritten about this comment. Anyone can copy and paste this without attributing me and there is no recourse for me. If someone copy and pastes a published book, they can sue. How can they possibly be the same thing..?

  • Thousands of authors demand payment from AI companies for use of copyrighted works
  • This may come as a surprise to you but there are internet comments outside of twitter that aren’t protected by twitter rules.

    Also you can’t copy the idea of a book and reword it. Which you can do with a tweet.

  • How Many Hiroshima Bombs per Second?
  • Agree. Most people don’t even understand how large a number a billion is. Mixing in weird unit conversions is a good way to make sure your point is lost. Next we tell people how many football stadiums we could fill with all the bleached coral reefs?

  • Thousands of authors demand payment from AI companies for use of copyrighted works
  • No dude you don’t understand. A copyrighted book is the same as an internet comment.

  • Spotify now has 220 million paying subscribers
  • Are people really unsubbing over a dollar a month? Seems kinda insignificant if you’re actually using the service.

  • The more they censor, bigger it gets
  • Yea this is pretty cool. I can finally identify stuff I’ve seen on there before but could never figure it out.

  • Elon Musk says Twitter logo to change, birds to be gradually abandoned
  • There’s no empty Trump or DeSantis podiums for them to air I guess

  • The sushi "crunchwrap supreme"
  • i would eat the shit out of this. I had a sushi burrito in Portland and it was amazing

  • Trump classified documents trial in Florida to begin in May 2024
  • I think they’re covering their ass because someone on their team got caught doing the same thing.

  • OpenAI, Google will watermark AI-generated content to hinder deepfakes, misinfo
  • If everything is watermarked no one will want to use it. At some point a competitor will arise that didn’t make these promises and everyone will switch to that service.

  • Blizzard games are coming to Steam
  • “You think you want it but you don’t”

  • Activision Blizzard lays off esports staff as it faces potential dramatic changes for the Overwatch League
  • I’m thinking they killed overwatch just as an excuse to lay more people off.

  • I prefer bean pc
  • You’d think they would have done r&d on how to make them look less nasty when the underpaid staff don’t clean it. But no they all look horrible

  • The CUBE PUBE...?
  • I hope everyone calls it The Pube

  • Anyone still play The Game?

    controller on mobile

    Anyone else start using a controller on mobile yet? It’s a bit of an annoyance because changing the setting completely reloads the game. It also puts you in a weird controller/touch screen hybrid mode.

    In Genshin when you switch to a controller it just flips the interface. Not sure why they couldn’t do that for star rail. Hopefully they add a way to boot into controller mode by default so I don’t have to load the game twice every day.
