on the bright side, red bull tastes like shit

eh, “completely new” is a huge stretch there. splicing two or ten movies together doesn’t give you an automatic pass.

can you point to the trial they won? I only know about a case that was dismissed.

because what we’ve seen from ai so far is hardly transformative.

it’s ok if you don’t know how copyright works. also maybe look into plagiarism. there’s a difference between relaying information you’ve learned and stealing work.

it uses the result of your labor without compensation. it’s not theft of the copyrighted material. it’s theft of the payment.

it’s different from piracy in that piracy doesn’t equate to lost sales. someone who pirates a song or game probably does so because they wouldn’t buy it otherwise. either they can’t afford or they don’t find it worth doing so. so if they couldn’t pirate it, they still wouldn’t buy it.

but this is a company using labor without paying you, something that they otherwise definitely have to do. he literally says it would be over if they couldn’t get this data. they just don’t want to pay for it.

it definitely changes by the guest imo. although I have a number of favorites, ben sparks to me is the absolute best. he not only explains things in simple terms but often has these programs to help you visualize things to intuitively understand them in some capacity, and also adds a narrative that’s really interesting to follow.

he often talks about things he discovered while messing around with his programs, so he can tell an engaging story by walking the viewer through the thread that he himself went through, encountering mysteries and making discoveries. he’s a math story wizard.

there are many other guests who are really fun to listen to as well. and a couple that unfortunately just easily gets into advanced math that completely loses me and leaves me more confused than before the first minute.

somewhat related, awesome numberphile video, was my absolute favorite for a long time:

“it really does take a village” showing a photo of the village not giving a shit

“I’m looking for a game that has the aspect ratio of a person”

I’ve been saying the reason he’s obsessed with the letter is its resemblance to the swastika.

they’ve been having sex the wrong way

that’s subjective

a boring dystopia mod team… huh.

this should’ve been made by someone who has seen a diagram before
