Accounting is the art of counting the right things, once. Harder than it sounds. We need more heroic accountants and less heroic MBAs.

They do have evidence, actual conversations between the kids and openai, where the kids say they were 12 years old and also uploaded pictures of themselves. That would seem to be enough proof that they were under the age where the company says they allow for people to use their software.

I've seen that repeated ad nauseam but I can't say I've noticed it. Cloudflare reported a drop in both traffic but that was apparently regular Yandex indexing bots.

So I wonder if it's just propaganda.

At least I won't be labeled a Russian bot for thinking so.

If you look into the actual issue not what cnn is falsly reporting you would know what actually happened; if anything that you think that Trump did not follow the court order shows those channels poor standards.
The district judged only mandated physical access to the White house buildings, not specific travel or pool rotation slots.
CNN has access to the white House, they are currently removed from the flying on Air Force One, and removed from the TV pool rotations.

I suspect that "market share" is a lot about what kind of games heavy players are playing on Steam right now. March was when Slay the Spire 2 was released, a very Linux friendly game, popular with Linux demographics. Months where DRM-ridden MMOs or extraction shooter of the month dominates - which is most of them - will see lower Linux use.

They are factually security improvements.

Sure, as long as you're clear it's not your security as a user they're protecting.

That was a joke in reference to venues getting squeezed. Yes, studios and distributors never succeeded in getting a share of concessions, but they have tried, and by all accounts it's miserable to be in the venue business compared to the studios/distributors business.

FYI, it's also a bad idea to throw "conspiracy theory" around to describe garden-variety private profit maximizing schemes. Reserve it for grand conspiracy theories, those that would actually require superhuman levels of coordination and secrecy. You'll regret your rhetorical huffing and puffing in defense of Hollywood when actual grand conspiracy theories take hold of society and fuck up things for you personally.

You mean the theater gets to keep 5% of the popcorn sales?

The claim that safety in utility and food industries was entirely absent until modern federal regulations were imposed is historically inaccurate and ignores the powerful roles of market self-regulation, private liability, and consumer trust. While early technological transitions certainly carried risks, industries did not operate in a vacuum of indifference; private incentives and local standards drove safety innovations long before federal agencies existed. Gas companies voluntarily added odorants to prevent costly resource loss and explosions, insurance conglomerates founded independent testing bodies like the Underwriters Laboratories to mandate insulated wiring as a condition for coverage, and food producers relied on brand reputation and local municipal codes to avoid ruinous civil liability and business failure. Ultimately, safety has always been a prerequisite for commercial viability and customer retention, proving that progress and protection are driven by market demand and legal accountability, not government mandates.

There were a bunch of people from other countries and also Epstein hung out with various liberal and progressives who were not members of the US Democratic party. So yes, it was along entirely Democrats but not all.
Republicans voted to release the unredacted records, and leadership actively pushed to release everything to the public rather than following the Democrats push for cherry-picked releases. So, if pushing for a full release instead of releasing items out of context is "carrying water," then yes, Republicans were "carrying water."

Epstein was almost entirely Democrats. As the Democrat victims have said, Trump was never involved. Pushing unsubstantiated conspiracy claims distracts from the actual crimes and disrespects the survivors by weaponizing their trauma.

Every time humanity invents a tool that fundamentally changes how we live, a wave of panic follows. When writing was invented Socrates warned it would ruin our memories. When the printing press arrived, critics claimed that an overload of books would make people foolish and immoral. steam trains were feared, with experts claiming that traveling at the high speed of 30 miles per hour would cause the human body to disintegrate or drive passengers insane. In every case, these technologies did not destroy us; they simply became normal parts of daily life. Todays fears about AI are being heavily pushed by the tech companies themselves, but for a very different reason. By keeping everyone focused on sci-fi scenarios about killer robots ending the world, these corporations divert attention from immediate & real-world lawsuits. They are actively lobbying governments for protection against copyright theft claims and suing for immunity when their systems cause real world harm. Calling for strict safety regulations allows them to create a "regulatory moat", making it too expensive and legally risky for smaller competitors or open-source projects to survive, while keeping the big players legally protected.

That's a point in favor of their humanity, technically.

Turn off anonymous cowardice before complaining that people won't debate you, you two.

Actually what he wrote was that seeing British and English flags flying high during Tommy Robinson's march was "both odd to see but also heartwarming". He comment was about the the flags not the person.
