  • The TOS doesn't say anything about crimes like murder, and of course you can't waive that anyway.

    What it does say is that any disputes arising out of the use of their website are subject to arbitration. If the plaintiff is correct and Disney is liable because they posted the menu on their website, then that would be a dispute arising out of the use of their website.

  • The plaintiff doesn't say that Disney owns it, though. They are basing their argument on the fact that Disney posted the restaurant's menu on their website. The website is also under the Disney+ TOS. So, if the plaintiff is correct and Disney is liable then the TOS probably applies.

  • Today, the US is withholding billions of dollars in Afghan assets, cutting off a crucial economic lifeline for the people of Afghanistan.

    What assets are they talking about here?

  • Annual commemorative pastry observance

  • Fritz Leiber's short story "A Pail of Air".

    This story portrays the effects of the most terrifying natural calamity I have ever encountered in fiction: Earth being ejected from the solar system. In any other disaster there's still hope because even though humanity might die out, life on Earth would eventually recover. Not so in this case. Without the Sun we're fucked. Even the air freezes (hence the title).

  • The output of a LLM is analogous to re-saving an image as a lo res JPEG. Data is being processed and altered using statistics, but nothing "new" is being created, only lower quality derivatives. That's why you can't train a LLM on the output of a LLM.

  • I'm not familiar with the idiom "spitting on the wrong horn." Here's the context of the quote:

    But weigh this [the evils of liberty] against the oppression of monarchy, and it becomes nothing. Malo periculosam, libertatem quam quietam servitutem ["I prefer dangerous freedom over peaceful slavery"]. Even this evil is productive of good. It prevents the degeneracy of government, and nourishes a general attention to the public affairs. I hold it that a little rebellion now and then is a good thing, and as necessary in the political world as storms in the physical.
