I'm using a Spigen for my android phone. Really impressed with how long it's held up.

I shudder to think how much Apple Pants cost.

We can only hope he pays for this. Or anything else he's done.

I wish you luck. I work with too many people stuck there.

Only the rabid right would say batshit crazy crap like that.

That's a terrible analogy.

Reading a book designed to instruct you how to do tasks is not the same thing as training generative AI with novels, say, to write a novel for you.

The user of the AI benefits from the work and talent of the authors with little effort of their own.

Generative AI training is not the same thing as human inspiration. And transformative work has this far has only been performed by a human. Not by a machine used by a human.

Clearly using a machine that simply duplicates a work to resell runs afoul of copyright.

What about using a machine that slightly rewords that work? Is that still allowed? Or a machine that does a fairly significant rewording? What if it sort of does a mashup of two works? Or a mashup of a dozen? Or of a thousand?

Under what conditions does it become ok to feed a machine with someone's art (without their permission) and sell the resulting output?

The dress codes even in the district my kid is in (and we're definitely bright blue territory) is still sexist af. It's absolutely insane.

Why do male and female students have different dress codes?

Sexism.

And yes I'm fucking up to here with this authoritarian bullshit not to mention the bigotry.

... Darryl was suspended the same week the state’s CROWN Act, a law prohibiting discrimination based on one’s hair texture or protective hairstyle such as locs and braids, went into effect.

This is what systemic racism looks like in real life.

Well, certainly not against the veto members.

You're quite the joker, aren't you?
