Also libretube (android client to piped.video so you don't connect to YouTube at all) and clipious (android client to invidious) are worth looking at too. You'll need to tweak the servers you connect to to get good performance, but both work quite nicely.

There's certainly a bubble bursting. You only have to look at all the layoffs.fyi since COVID. I'm just hoping it's happening in a slow enough way that it's not going to take more legitimate companies with it.

AI is the next bubble. It will hit a brick wall either legally or just on functionality (maybe both). I can see uses for targeted models, bespoke to a use case, but training those is too expensive right now. General models are just toys IMHO. Unfortunately it's going to get a few years for everyone to realise.

Facebook opening up to non-students was the turning point IMHO. Myspace was big, but everybody knew it was trash so not being on it was fine. If you wanted "a profile" otherwise, you needed your own page. That took effort, so only people with something to say bothered with it. Even Twitter was still SMS based and so only for hardcore addicts.

Facebook gave everyone an effortless voice and lordy, do people talk crap.

Would have been a better joke without the "all". Then the meaning is ambiguous.

If fair use is cut down...

It's not a case of cutting down fair use. It's a case 9f enforcing current fair use limits.

The choices here are to respect copyright or destroy it. Having and AI exception is nonsense.

"I'm not illegally downloading the latest blockbuster/ best seller / chart topping album. I'm scraping the internet for training data for my AI. It just so happens I need to filter the data by hand before it can injest it. I keep looking for suitable data, but haven't identified any yet. "

There's plenty of non copyright material out there to do research on. It won't make for useful AI products, but they can start licensing for that.

A corrollary to what you're saying is that people assume that because you've replied to them, you must be disagreeing with them. Often I'll agree with a poster but comment to add to their point, only to get chewed out for disagreeing with them when I didn't.

Probably needs a UN peace keeping force.

...but Hamas is also a political entity and the government of Palestine. Sanctions would matter if Gaza wasn't already blockaded by Israel.

The problem is shareholders; The fact that extracting money out of the company is prioritised over the stability of the company. This leads to unstable companies which are vulnerable to shit like this.

WB would not be verging on the edge of bankruptcy if it was privately held.

Trials in the Hague followed by imprisonment of all those guilty of war crimes. At this point that Includes most IDF members, their leaders, and the government.

Actually bring consequences to bear and let other Israelis know that this isn't acceptable. Israel also needs to be cut off from the teat of the American military industrial complex.

Same standards for Hamas, but that's a much smaller number.

Any further sabre rattling is met with quick and strong sanctions.

Basically the UN needs to do it's job, but that needs America not to veto.

...and then return it to his grieving wife?

Mainly because it's shaped like a snow plow and won't care if anything soft is in its way.

I meant, the sub that banned you also qualifies under the title of "the bad one".

COVID was the auth left everywhere, at least in social circles.

...for "participating" in the Bad one.

I think you might need to be more specific.

Yes. A diamond is just a rock somebody found. Same for gold. They have value because they are scarce and people think they are pretty (up until the last couple of centuries when we developed industrial uses for both). Nobody has ever needed a diamond or a hunk of gold to survive, yet they have value because we say that they are valuable.

New name: "Y"

It's not hard. He's saying that this study makes no claims about effectiveness, but people are so programmed with the catchphrase "safe and effective" that they conflate the two.

So attack Hamas, not just whoever you can find that looks like them.

Israel was created by UN resolution 181, not the British.
