First of all, not a shit post.

People only hate the pedos they dislike.

Disagree. You mentioned MJ and Epstein. There is a huge amount of victims, witnesses, monetary transactions and evidence (e.g. pictures) about Epstein being a pedophile. For MJ being a pedophile there’s only a fraction of that.

I personally do not care for MJ. People like his music but I don’t really. It’s easier for me to see Epstein as a pedophile because there is just so much more corroborating evidence, and way harder to see MJ that way. Do I believe he’s not? Not really, I haven’t looked that deep into it and I heard this before a few times. But I’m not say someone is a pedophile without evidence. If they’re wrongly accused, that’s fucked up. And ultimately, he’s dead and there’s no real evidence and no suggestions he was part of a wider circle of other perpetrators.

On the other hand Epstein is dead, but there’s other people who helped him or committed crimes themselves. So we should concentrate on those, so that the victims get justice and the perpetrators which do still live get tried and convicted. And especially make sure ghislaine Maxwell, who is convicted and got an insane deal has to face more consequences and finally gives up names so we can start demanding trials for all of the others involved.

Basically, it’s never a “I hate Epstein but not MJ” thing, it’s just that we can address whatever Epstein did, and that is important and there’s lots to go on, but we kinda can’t do it with MJ unless there’s more evidence, there’s likely more perpetrators or there’s more victims coming forward, and I haven’t heard any of that.

You should be proud of yourself indeed

I’m an IT guy and I get mad anxiety with anything soldering, welding, …

I am incompatible with anything less digital than a PC so I got mad respect for this sorta stuff.

“Not every ‘WTF micro$oft’ moment is a slam dunk,”

Brother, your quotas of shit hitting the fan is reaching fecal velocity of new degrees. Your company’s current state of existence has absolved you of the right to a balanced perspective.

What I’m trying to say is it’s never gonna Microsoft 100% of the time, but at this point no one trusts you, and you’ve earned that, and now you have to live with the consequences. I know this Microsoft contact is probably not the reason, but he is still working there, and that means he deserves some of the blame on a constructive level.

I wish your opinion was shared more.

I do music production. I’ve seen what AI can do, and for making a simple master of one of my demos AI is great. But everyone who has been there knows that the fun of making music comes from uniqueness. AI can’t do that, it can only riff on things known in its dataset.

I’m not worried at all, because this means the boring commercial music becomes less impressive, and unique and elaborate music becomes even more valuable. I’m cool with that; nothing of value is lost.

I get why people are freaked out, but most of the tangible issues come from greedy managers with a pinch of dunning-kruger, trying to replace workers. And that’s got almost nothing to do with AI and everything to do with assholes. There will be consequences, but people have to stick out this short-term chaos. And that’s the only thing I have empathy for in this.

Well that and unlicensed training because governments can’t get their shit together to enforce ethical guidelines for AI training & data collection practices.

I love that one can identify you by how unhinged your posts are. Delightful - welcome back.

Pubic execution is a great way to refer to a sex change

That makes a lot of sense and that pisses me off.

We’re doing big brother for fun now because it gets some people some money.

Every one of those politicians takes the money not realizing that they will suffer just like everyone else. The more cunning they feel, the more susceptible they are to the same data profiling and manipulation.

Definitely over the threshold of slavery light with zero sugar

That’s gotta be slop². That’s slop mastery. It would open up a whole new world of weapons grade slop.

“shit”? That’s an exclamation, not a swear word to me.

yeah that’s the one

Literally today Chris Titus released a video where he emphasized that no one should be using secure boot because the default backend is Microsoft and no one changes their secure boot config.

If that’s true there’s an argument that the name “secure boot” is hardly detachable from the defaults and thus that name is kid of burnt and shouldn’t be recommended out of an abundance of caution for new users.

Something about your apostrophe placement and abbreviation really pisses me off

Alright fk EA with a rusty spoon

Really good video.

Also look at his glorious hair, absolutely handsome bastard.

The point might be injunctions and judicial record, they might know they’re not getting their money back.
