“Family”
You ask for good news to help you feel better and then when I try to offer some you criticize it? You’re certainly not one of the helpers. Mr Rogers would not be proud of you. Go back to doomscrolling then.

It’ll mean all the movies are in the public domain as soon as they are released, since you can’t copyright AI work.
Nah, even my retcon explanation is a lie. I copied the quote from some famous quote website and didn’t catch the error.
See, even quotes with errors in them get upvoted before someone can come along and correct them :)
Yep, and all gleaned from publicly available interviews.
It was ever thus:
A lie gets halfway around the world before the truth has a chance to get its pants on.

The funny thing is that Spez didn’t even come up with the idea of Reddit. Him and Ohanian showed up with some other dumb idea and Paul Graham was like, that’s stupid, try this idea of mine.
Then Spez put together some shitty code in Lisp of all languages, which Aaron Schwartz had to rewrite in Python. The site was so unstable that Spez slept with his laptop so he could reboot it in the middle of the night.
They used sock puppets because nobody was posting enough content. Then they cashed out and fucked off, leaving Aaron to rewrite it, and Erik Martin to actually make a proper community out of it.
Then Spez comes riding back into town over a decade later to claim credit while he fucks the whole site up by selling out.
Truly a masterclass in incompetent white male privilege.

The Madoff Mistake, a classic.
I got a pair of these when they were on sale for $39 last year, and I liked them so much I bought a second pair for when they bite the dust.
Well they better turn that feature on because last time I used MJ it happily accepted images of people who were banned in text prompts and gave me results.
All well and good for text prompts, but MJ also lets you upload images as prompts so how are they going to recognize every image of Trump or Biden that is uploaded?
From the article:
Reddit earns an Unattractive Stock Rating.
Of course it does, have you seen the average redditor?
Fusion. I think it’s our only hope of making it through climate change without massive losses.
