@Polymarket There should be no limits to AI models using copyrighted materials as training data - it’s essential for the models to perform their best and provide the biggest benefit to humanity.

JUST IN: Federal judge approves Anthropic's $1,500,000,000.00 copyright settlement, the largest known payout in U.S. copyright history.

@RelativRyan Big shocker that the artist cares about the technology that makes art more accessible and easier to create - most people couldn’t care less about gen AI “stealing” (aka taking inspiration from) people’s work.

Nah, I think this is weirdly kinda sad. This is what I interpret from Ludwig (and I welcome Ludwig’s corrections): “The problem w/GenAI usage is that it won’t bring you viewers (money).” When it should be: “The problem w/GenAI usage is that it’s built off stolen work.”

@Dexerto That’s sick as hell - imagine having it in your library while you relax with a good book.

A set of T-rex bones auctioned for over $50 million has become the most expensive dinosaur fossil ever sold Scientists are now urging the buyer to donate them to a museum instead of keeping them in a private collection

@BridgeburnFILO @amelia_tweetz They paid out other people who did make claims with the money you didn’t use - that’s why premiums aren’t significantly higher than they already are.

@amelia_tweetz Really all of insurance is pointless until they start giving the money back that you dont use at the end of the year.

So basically dental insurance is pretty useless if you have anything but a cleaning lol

@deathbian @DrinkinDrano I do think scale matters, but I think it’s generally the same scale for everyone. Saying “oh well they’re so rich they won’t notice it” doesn’t make it just.

@Zapdroid @DrinkinDrano not okay to steal things of sentimental value from anyone, nor a significant enough amount of their money to risk their wellbeing. but would you look for the owner of a dropped penny as hard as you would look for the owner of a dropped bundle of hundreds? or does scale matter?

"oh, i accidentally shoplifted. okay" and you go home

@deathbian @DrinkinDrano “It’s okay to steal from somsone if they’re rich” is a disgusting mindset to have. You are a bad person with poor morals.

@DrinkinDrano the people eating the cost are billionaires. they'll be fine. it's like picking up a penny off the ground without seeking its original owner. less than that, at scale. it is not normal, good, or healthy for this to cause guilt

@PoopcelGroypers Hard disagree - one of the best things about Ironman is that you don’t need to worry about whether what you’re doing is efficient and making the most gp per hour. The GE contributes to a toxic mindset that drains the fun out of the game.

Ironmen should be able to sell items of the grand exchange just not purchase items from the grand exchange cause who tf wants to alch 5 thousand onyx bolts. Agree or disagree?

@scaredycat122 I call him a “he” because he looks like a guy to me. When it comes to a fictional character I’m not going to bother respecting their “preferred pronouns” and I’ll just call it as it see it.

unfortunately the average deltarune fan nowadays can be summed up with this comment

@Burnt_Caper The difference is that the game should be designed around Ironmen, as doing so is just good game design in general.

You literally play ironman You know, the self restricted game mode that's gotten nearly a decade straight of hand holding slop

@JAMvsJAM “Doing a nice thing” when it’s just you stealing something and giving it to another person - people like that absolutely should be fired.

This is why I don’t do nice things for strangers. Imagine doing something nice for someone and you find out it’s been investigated and you’re about to lose your job because a babe wanted to document it.

@AndriaDont99498 Totally fair of them - you expecting them to clean up your trash is completely unreasonable, regardless of how little effort it may seem to require.

Rented the same storage unit for 4 years. Always paid on time. They were bought out by corporate and went from a small business to an empire. So I cleaned out and left with notice. I left behind 2 small plastic bins and one tote. All empty. There was no dumpster on site. Today is not the day and I am not the one.

@GameStalgiaX I would never pirate a video game, but I would a movie or TV show 100% of the time - I can’t really explain why. And yes, myself and the rest of us are in the wrong for pirating things; I’m not delusional enough to think otherwise and make up excuses to justify my theft.

Be honest, did you ever pirate games?

@Canadian2112 @AllanRicharz @ScottFoxonair @cavendishbill Going down a hill doesn’t somehow give you permission to speed - your car comes with something called “brakes” that can be used to reduce your speed to match the limit.

@AllanRicharz @ScottFoxonair @cavendishbill Example of one there was one that was predatory — it was set on a six lane road where you’d be going down a large hill in three of the lanes. They changed the speed limit to 40… then if you were going minimally over 40 due to the hill you get a ticket.

I don’t understand the opposition to speed cameras. You break the law, you are fined. You drive safely, no problem. Seems pretty fucking simple to me.

@daveduke197412 @Rachel_A_P_ @goustocooking How about growing/raising your own food? People have been doing it for a while you know.

@Rachel_A_P_ @goustocooking How about shopping for yourselves. People have been doing it for a while you know.

First time trying @goustocooking and our first box arrived today… safe to say I’ve cancelled already. If you think two new potatoes is enough for mashed potatoes for two you’re mad (AirPod case for size reference)

@nytimes @TheAthleticFC How dare he not be performative and instead do what he actually wants. Will you all hold the same ire for any other Canadian who sees a World Cup game that doesn’t include Canada? I’ll be rooting for Canada to win, but I have no interest in watching them play.

From @TheAthleticFC: On a day that Canada and the United States both opened their campaigns at the World Cup, Justin Trudeau opted to watch Team USA, where his girlfriend Katy Perry was performing in the opening ceremony. nyti.ms/3QkNi1V

@gothgfdotrip Unless they were willing to also share in the loss if the movie was a flop. If you take zero risk you deserve zero reward. Should have negotiated their contracts better.

Is it so much to ask that everyone involved in the production get a cut? Is it so unreasonable for the workers to share in the profits of their labour?

@siobhanworld The cruel thing is letting a cat outside, not keeping it inside. People who have “outdoor” cats are animal abusers - it’s not safe for the cat nor the environment.

Cat Twitter, may I have some advice? My daughter’s cat will now be living at my house permanently. I’ve not let her out in the six weeks she’s been here because I live on a busy road. If she stays in the back garden, she’ll have a lovely time catching mice and chasing birds but if she goes out the front, she’ll get run over. Overhanging fencing won’t work as there are too many trees in the garden. I’ve looked at catios but these are quite small and expensive. It seems cruel to keep her indoors but crueller to let her be run over. What can I do?

@StephyBx_ Damn it sucks that they were paid exactly what they agreed to and took on zero risk, while the producers/whatever spent $750k and took the risk of losing it all.

I’m going to THROW UP I dislike film as an industry so so much. $300 a DAY?? With A $750k budget is disgusting I’m sorry. I’m so mad for her 😔😔 I can’t even accept £300 a day as it stands and I’m only a year and a half into my career. I feel so bad for her omg🥺

@thestustustudio Unions are great for the employees/members, but awful for the business and its customers.

🚨 Teamsters Turn San Diego Card Party Into a $150 Union Toll Booth Card-show vendors at San Diego’s Card Party say they were charged $150 just to roll their own inventory into the event on carts. These vendors are not giant corporations. They’re mostly hobbyists, collectors, and small business owners trying to bring boxes and cases of cards to tables they already paid for. They expected loading-dock rules. What they say happened instead is that the “anything with wheels” rule was allegedly enforced at the front door too. This is union power running wild — a $150 toll booth for ordinary people trying to move their own inventory into a show they already paid to attend.
