I'm pretty sure this is how

This is why I don't really consider the economics of the federation to be socialist. It's all some vague idealist futuristic economy that lacks any semblance of democracy by only having two representatives per planet, regardless of population size.

Nobody can hold the copyright unless it's deemed to be created by a human. Disney owns the copyright because under US law, corporations are also people, and their employees create the work for Disney.

In the US under federal law only a human being may own copyright over a piece of artwork. Even a monkey that takes its own picture can't legally own the picture, so neither can an AI. The only thing you can own is the access to the artwork.

Thems the pretty colors, but I ain't see no movin' pitchur!

(Gifs are such a pain to work with on Lemmy, 480p low bitrate is the only way I can get things to consistently work smoothly on-site. Yesterday's gif could've been 1080p 30 fps, but I could not get it to upload.)

Well then, looks like I got vaccinated at some point.

So AI is only harmful when a person instructs it to do so?

That sounds an awful lot like the "guns don't kill people, people kill people", argument.

While I think it's important to have some sort of media bias understanding, I dislike the bot being the first (and sometimes only) comment on a post. Maybe it should be reserved only for posts that are garnering attention, and has a definitive media bias answer for (the no results comments are just damn annoying to see).

It also has the knock-on effect of boosting the post higher in whichever sorting algorithm users are using. So it often feels artificially controlled whenever something has 100+ upvotes and less than 10 comments, knowing the first comment is always a bot. Like, would it be fair for me to have 10 bots that comment factual information of posts I personally like, just to boost their visibility?

"But I NEEEEEEEEED to play my games on 164x AA, ultra textures, unlimited render distance, no optimization, 900 fps (on a 60 fps 720p monitor) MOOOOOMMMM!!!"

That's how I hear every excuse for a recent Nvidia purchase.

There IS a full scale war going on. 31,000 confirmed dead Ukranian soldiers, and up to 120,000 dead Russian soldiers. We don't even have a good idea how many civilian deaths, but the total death toll could be as high as 500,000.

And no, before you start - Mutually Assured Destruction isn't "a full scale war". Its Annihilation of both sides, and has no precedent in the history of war.

 
 
 

Basically, if all I can read is a headline how can I consider it informative? A news headline has as much evidence as your average Tweet, and can be deeply incorrect through the use of clickbait.

I do use methods to get around paywalls, but knowing that some/most people won't, it seems counter-informative to solely use the clickbait headline to keep people informed.

 

I've been using tags on users who I've interacted with to help me realize if I've interacted with someone before. It would be nice to change the color from green to others, even if it's a prechosen color palette.
