1800s?

Oh no you see I am the Dasher/Uber driver/whatever who actually makes money. You see…

I mean honestly this AI era is the time for these absurd anti-piracy penalties to be enforced. Meta downloads libgen? $250,000 per book plus jail time to the person who’s responsible.

Oh but laws aren’t for the rich and powerful you see!

Normal people pirate: one hundred bazillion dollars fine for download The Hangover.

One hundred bazillion dollars company pirate: special law to say it okay because poor company no can exist without pirate 😞

Kids were doing dumb shit like this before there was a TikYik to put it on.

WMDs were the pretext for Iraq, not Afghanistan.

Other than that…

Okay.

Man I’m trying to get through my cringe adult phase, I don’t have time to dwell on the past.

Games are amazing right now, what is this talking about? EA/WB/Ubisoft dreck?

All ads suck, but ads based on user rather than content go too far.

At least Shane grows a little.

Ha, I forgot about Nostr. That might actually be a useful application for blockchain.

He’s not a famous figure, he’s a child being exploited by his dad, and even on the page itself there’s nothing actually notable about the kid himself. It’s mostly salacious “controversy” about his gross no-name dad.

And actually encyclopaedias generally and Wikipedia particularly engage in value judgement all the time. Who is or isn’t a notable public figure, what is or isn’t a reliable source, etc.

Nothing about this child merits a Wikipedia entry. Maybe Encyclopedia Dramatica or Kiwi Farms or something else for the bottom feeders, but not a site that’s supposed to be for general human knowledge. GTFO with that.

I mean, the joke is that AI doesn’t tell you things that are meaningfully true, but rather is a machine for guessing next words to a standard of utility. And yes, lying is a good way to arbitrarily persuade people, especially if you’re unmoored to any social relation with them.

Personally I love how they found the AI could be very persuasive by lying.

If this isn’t a sign of the decline in Wikipedia I don’t know what is. Like it’s not even his channel it’s his dad’s.

Precisely.

Right. They understand it puts them in a bad light, and people they hate in a sympathetic one, so they deny it happened.

“It never happened, but if it did it was a good thing and I hope we do it again!”

Diffusion and overall brightness do make a difference as well.

Shorter wavelengths hit different though. That’s why we have blue light filtering glasses, Redshift, etc.

What was the appeal of Plex anyway?
