brutal_chaos_on Someone needs to go to jail

I believe it's a bit more nuanced than that. Both democrats and republicans have had enough power to make meaningful changes to prevent such a wealth gap and thus the wealthy play both parties. I do see democrats trying to help people have a better life (medicare for all, etc), but the wealth gap grew nometheless. Though I do agree with you that republicans don't seem to give a flying fuck about the people these days, which does make it worse IMHO. Regardless, both parties enabled the wealth gap and is why the fight is the 99.99% against the 0.01%. The US needs to kill citizens united and take money out of politics, I think that'd be a huge step forward...and yet, it is basically impossible because the 0.01% have the power.

Wouldn't that mean everyone owns it then (wrt copyright)? Not just the generator and Anthropic?

In the US, at least, the works generated by "AI" are not copyrightable. So for my layman's understanding, they may claim ownership, but it means nothing wrt copyright.

brutal_chaos_on British canoeist 'forced to choose between Olympics and OnlyFans'

> The article doesn't mention how spicy his OnlyFans account is, but I'm assuming his OF content is such that it would be hard to argue it doesn't qualify as "indecent" or "immoral."

What is indecent or immoral is almost entirely subjective. Some cultures approve of cannabalism. Some do not see breasts as sexual. Some see sex as a rite and something to acheive. Some see dominance as moral (i.e. only the strong shall lead). Random murder is the closest society has come to an universal moral, even then, what seems random could be killings to save face for the family.

Morality is exceptionally tricky at the global scale. The Olympics body is imposing their morals, not everyone's morals.

brutal_chaos_on Apple App Store guidelines remove ban on encouraging external payments in US

You bring up some good points. I guess I was too absolute in my statement as I didn't intend to imply it was the only problem. Given that, Windows gaining ads (nevermind the number of settings panels/windows, etc), games being released broken or loot box driven, google search once being good and now being ad driven, and a myriad of other problems have caused the downfall as well. So the big players are part of the problem too.

Good enough is how everything went to shit (enshitification). "It's an MVP? Good enough, ship it and bolt on features no one wants." Personally, I am very tired of "good enough." I wish we built great things.

brutal_chaos_on Former Disney employee who hacked Disney World menus sentenced to 3 years

I can see where you may get that idea, but I believe the point was supposed to be: just because it is done, it doesn't mean you can do it too. And that also doesn't mean it's ok for corporations to do it, they just have an easier time than the common person because our society runs and money and they have (much!) more of it.

Can you all help me understand this argument? We have stats upon stats to help us predict outcomes in sports and we call that betting. We have stats upon stats to help us predict outcomes in elections, but we can't call that betting?

brutal_chaos_on Curl-impersonate: Special build of curl that can impersonate the major browsers

You may enter our site iff you use software we approve. Anything else will be seen as malicious. Papers please!

I, too, am saddened by this gatekeeping. IIUC custom browsers (or user-agent) from scratch will never work on cloudflare sites and the like until the UA has enough clout (money, users, etc) to sway them.
