Hostile governments can probably just buy the data from the same data brokers the US got it from

Does woke mean shoehorned or pandering? I feel like “woke” media is labeled as such because of its fundamental socially progressive ideals, and those negative connotations are added by opponents to try and tear down media that’s been designated “woke”

Compared to all the other movies, games and other media that is given the “woke” moniker, Barbie was very firmly “woke”

It spoke directly about how the US and world is a male-dominated patriarchy, and spent the last act going explicitly over in great detail the negatives for women in their gender roles, especially when dealing with men and male partners.

If any other show had even one of the major plot points or lines from this movie, it would be labeled “woke.”

This is how Mickey Mouse comes into creation

BNN. Terrible spammy source founded by a serial startup founder with a history of domestic abuse/other issues

If they’re so worried about customer service, they should be focused on changing their shit fries.

They shouldn’t have to smother them with cheese or sauce to make them palatable

Salix is right that it alludes to the Dead Internet Theory.

I don’t actually subscribe to the full theory that the internet is already dead and we only talk to bots, but I do think bot activity may become advanced and pervasive enough to create a “Dead Internet” like scenario (or at least fundamentally alter platforms away from what we currently know as the internet experience)

I think it was more an attempt to not flood the sub with one event, because they aggregated the list of topical articles on the megathread and restricted any new submissions on the subject

These companies not being able to handle bot attacks without hamstringing major parts of their platforms is a canary in the coal mine for the Dead Internet.

Democrats are not in control of Congress. The House is currently R controlled and they barely have the votes in the Senate due to Sinema and Manchin.

A lot of people left due to it not being morally sound for them to support Musk and his actions.

But now there are paywalled features that are ruining the functional experience of Twitter. You can’t look at the site for more than half an hour before getting restricted on a free account

Plus Mastodon has had time to polish instances, apps and gain a userbase so it is a little easier to transition

The three plaintiffs allege that when prompted, ChatGPT will produce a summary of their works. They claim this is copyright infringement, as they did not consent to their books being fed to ChatGPT.

How can they have a case? How many sites, interviews, social media posts have content that goes over summaries of their books?

Silverman herself has probably gone over the book context in enough posts and press releases/interviews to give ChatGPT all the context it needs.

If only paid subscribers could get more than 25 uses of GPT-4 every 3 hours…

I think the content level has gotten better even in the past few days.

I predict at ~200,000 users, there will be a good enough flow of posts and comments that it won’t feel as empty compared to Reddit.
