This is interesting. It seems a fair resolution would be to pay the content owner what they would have made in ad revenue.

As long as the AI is not reproducing original works to the extent that it violates fair use, I don’t think copyright laws really apply. But there’s definitely lost revenue.

While I am generally in the “copyright doesn’t matter when it comes to AI” camp, I also work in advertising. Most people do not use ad blockers.

This is an interesting point that I haven’t previously considered.

I don’t know, it wouldn’t really make sense. It’s not the behavior of someone that actually intends to commit suicide.

I think it’s profound stupidity. I know people here are calling it victim blaming, with the implication that he’s a victim of, idk, illegal weapon sales? But you have to admit at 17 years old, it requires profound stupidity to turn off the safety and point a weapon at your own head with your finger on the trigger.

The boy appeared to switch off the weapon’s safety and point it at his head

He knew enough about how they work to turn off the safety

Well that’s true, you can get a lot of varieties of peppers.

Can’t believe that comment garnered so many down votes tho. Some habanero lovers in the comments were very upset

Eh. Habanero tastes like ass. I’ve had spicier peppers with better flavor. And plenty of people, including myself, occasionally enjoy something hotter. I have a decent tolerance for spice, so I can dial things up and still enjoy it.

Ty for the links

whole notion of just re-scheduling it to “de-criminalize it” is a misnomer.

Has anyone suggested rescheduling it would be akin to decriminalizing? I mean, maybe if it was moved to schedule v.

I think generally people have been reacting to this by pointing out it should just be descheduled.

Okay? So what are the rules then? Only trans people that started transitioning before a certain age? Or has been transitioning for a certain number of years? Or should we measure bone density, muscle density, estrogen, testosterone, other various hormones, etc? What if they were a competitive athlete before transitioning? Is it transphobic to ask a person to prove they meet these requirements? Because apparently, based on the mods here, it’s transphobic to even consider that a person who was born a man might have a physical advantage over someone born a woman.

It’s not like all athletes taking PEDs are better than all of their natural counterparts. But it does afford them an unfair advantage. So we ban their use. A trans person could have an advantage that is the result of them being born a man. This is real and has happened. The existence of that possibility is no different than the possibility an athlete would be superior as a result of PEDs.

Personally, I have competed in powerlifting, one sport that has gotten attention in the press for not letting trans women compete with cis women, particularly after a trans woman beat out other cis women by huge margin in competition.

I will let the ladies know that the only reason they’re in their own division is actually because of oppression and they should have no issue competing against men.

I don’t even let them in the room. Housekeeping left the door to my room open once for the entire day. I was across from the elevator. Thankfully nothing was stolen, but ya know, fool me once

The cost is too high? Seriously?

You’re not paying anything for the service. You have no concept of what their costs are. You’re mildly inconvenienced by some annoying and slightly obtrusive ads.

It’s a business, not a charity. And they owe you nothing.

Who do you expect to pay for it?

So she didn’t bring live rounds on set and put those live rounds in a prop gun intended for actors in a movie?

Novo Nordisk’s CEO was paid $9.8 million last year, inclusive of bonus and benefits.

Likely not, no. Novo Nordisk spent $5 Billion on R&D in a year as a company. I can’t find consistent numbers on advertising costs, but that looks to be somewhere around $100-200 million over the last 12 months, for this product specifically. The total annual compensation of the entire executive team at Novo Nordisk is about $46 million USD.

Okay. The vast majority of men will not attack you for rejecting their advances. The news loves to cherry pick things that scare people and make them angry, because it increases viewership.

What’s the alternative? Men should never speak to women?
