• On the post: The Writers’ Strike Makes Sense; Their Demands About AI, However, Do Not

  For LESS pay

  The entire argument of the WGA is that rewrites pay substantially less than creating a new work. The studios are pushing to use AI for the "first draft," so they can force writers to take a pay cut for all new future works. So yeah, the writers might be "employed," but at poverty wages compared to new work.

  AO3

  The exception being fanfic. Honestly, I've seen some fanfic that's better than published canon works for a franchise.

  Uh

  AI is the terrible cook in this scenario. The writers are the ones who make quality work, the AI just churns out formulaic bullshit that doesn't actually make sense. But the studios would be happy with using AI to replace a dozen writers pitching actual, good ideas, and then foist the work of turning it into something watchable onto a single writer (who isn't necessarily the best candidate, just the one they can keep under their thumb).

  Not to kinkshame, but...

  Please take your vore fetish to a more appropriate site.

  The idea that judges are "writing new laws on the bench" is what needs to stop. That is not what happened here.

  That noted hermit, the Pope

  Right, because the Pope never visits Italy...

• On the post: Antisemitic Conspiracy Theorist Who Sued YouTube For 1st Amendment Violations Now Owes YouTube Nearly $40,000

  I understood, you're failing to comprehend

  I understood what you said, but what you said was nonsense. You're making a pedantic argument over the word "believe," and it's just negationism on your part. People legitimately believe in this shit. The fact it is shit changes nothing, and your bizarre need to fixate on that is completely unhelpful. I tried to get you to understand that this is something people actually act upon, but you're more interested in petty arguments over phrasing, so fuck it.

  It always boils down to antisemitism

  There absolutely are people who believe that there is a Jewish conspiracy funded by George Soros to promote LGBT+ issues as part of a "Marxist" plot to destroy Western society. I would say I'm sending you down the rabbit hole, but it's more of a pothole in the pavement: Cultural Marxism conspiracy theory

• On the post: Reminder: Section 230 Protects You When You Forward An Email

  FFS

  My general take on commenters like Matt is that they’re useful tools (and I mean that in the worst way) in that they are so dedicated to trolling that they’ll roll through every possible brain-dead nonsense ever, and it acts as “batting practice.”

  No, this is a terrible take. Letting someone run rampant shitting all over the comment section is not helpful in any way, shape, or form. Especially when they're throwing derogatory slurs all around the comments.

  Overreliance on slurs is not a good look

  It’s not, and whoever came up with that line is a retard.

  You really are obsessed with that term. "retard," "fucktard," it's just your go-to insult. Rather telling that the only response you have for disagreement is to use a derogatory term for people with a developmental disability.

• On the post: Can A Robot Lawyer Defend Itself Against Class Action Lawsuit For Unauthorized Practice Of Law

  

  bluegrassgeek ( profile ), 14 Mar, 2023 @ 05:29am

  That is not a strawman, that's a valid rebuttal to your claim.

  I actually pointed out exactly how and why it was nonsensical and dumb.

  No, you did not. You made an assertion it was "nonsensical and dumb," but provided no actual evidence that it was. You seem to be of the impression that any organizational body determining who can practice a profession is "regulatory capture." This is flatly incorrect.

  *facepalm*

  So, you jumped off a "Funniest/Insightful post of the Week" article to make an MRA rant that had... nothing to do with the article. Stop being angry at women and maybe take a look at yourself.

  What does this have to do with the article?

  Evidence

  Koby proving, yet again, he does not understand what "evidence" means. This "you must be a mind reader" bullshit argument doesn't stand up to the slightest scrutiny. When you choose your words, you make it very clear what your motives are, that's what language does. It doesn't require mind-reading to understand your motives, when your words convey it perfectly well. You're right on one thing though, Koby: it doesn't take a mind-reader to understand that the rich want to change the standard so they can sue anyone who points out their stupidity.

  What?

  Outside of Fox News, do you have any actual evidence that this is being pursued? Or is this another fever dream the right came up with to make you scared of "woke ideologues"?

• On the post: Nevada’s Top Court Says Cops Can Now Be Sued For Rights Violations, Won’t Have Access To Qualified Immunity

  Won't help. The cops will just claim every decision is a "split-second" one, and the courts will dance to that tune.

  QI

  Or, more likely, the police union will browbeat the state legislature to pass a QI law for them. Cops won't tolerate being held to the same standard as regular folks.

  The call is coming from inside the house

  This is the sorta thing that happens before major revolutions, y’know. Cambodian killing fields, that sorta thing. Whole classes of people purged and the babies heads smashed against tree trunks for who their parents are. Every case that we know of has been pre-internet so some things will play out different but the all the same ideas are getting bandied about.

  Yes, and that is literally what your side is proposing to do to "libs" if they get into power. The right is always accusing the left of things that the right actually wants to do.
