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

Oh boy! Finally I can share my experiences with Gemini. One day it just replaced my Google Assistant which I used on my phone to quickly search simple queries, setting timers and alarms and not much more.

One day I asked for a simple search for synonyms of “oddball”, noticed the Assistant was replaced and asked why. Proof these are my first interactions from my history:

here’s its response, with casual admission to copyright infringement highlighted by me:

and when I said I don’t care and asked about Assistant again, it of course being the genius that it is, didn’t even make a connection to the context (very conversational indeed) and acted like I was asking about what happened to Assistant like I was looking for tech support:

when I asked about the voice it failed to tell me that it had many different voices I could choose from, literally one of the most basic things it could tell me about itself:

also demonstrating how incredibly unnecessarily verbose it is about everything. Google Assistant was much more concise.

so here’s my next few questions, the responses are BS so they don’t matter:

then I asked what’s different about it and it outright lied about things it already demonstrated to be false:

Enhanced Understanding and Advanced Reasoning already proven wrong by treating my question about Assistant as a tech support question rather than a question about why it was replaced by Gemini.

Enhanced Factual Knowledge proven wrong by not even having basic knowledge about itself. Demonstrated above that I asked about the voice and all it could say was “if you don’t like it sorry” rather than tell me it already had options for different voices.

This is too long and I’m just starting. Will continue in replies…

a boring dystopia mod team… huh.

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