The "because" there is really optional.

Headline from New York Post criticizing Mamdani snow shoveling photo op paired with J. Jonah Jameson meme saying "I want pictures of Zohran Mamdani"

Mamdani should collect a billionaire tax because he's living rent free in their heads, as the NY Post illustrates.

Marco Rubio and Stephen Miller in a dimly lit Oval Office with a table full of cocktails, wearing furry attire. Pete Hegseth is dressed in rave attire between them.

Which of these AI generated photos do you think more accurately reflects what meetings in the Oval Office look like?

I suspect this will be a very live issue increasingly as chatbots detour conversations to sell Doritos that sponsors paid for scripted messages about.

If the chatbot can say ANYTHING, the user is probably the "author". If it says specific scripted things from a company, the company is the author.

In general, I'd think copyright is a fairly dead issue with an all purpose chatbot relative to other issues but if they were intentionally making the AI do things, that feels like it IDs a source. Such as making it deliver or not deliver a human written helpline warning.

As a non-lawyer, I'd think that certain levels of training specialization might constitute intent. Wasn't there a thing where Meta was specifically training chatbots around predatory conversations to boost engagement, hooking users with a charismatic agent?

In general, the rulings about AI copyright I am aware of deal entirely with near zero-intent AI, like giving a monkey a camera. It isn't that AI invalidates the formation of copyright but that you need some small, clear, demonstrable amount of intent.

Chevy Chase is one of the greatest mimes of his generation. Shame he had to ruin it by breaking the most famous rule for mimes.

"They say aspirin is good for thinning out the blood," Trump said. "I want nice, thin blood pouring through my heart." Pictures: Bruises on Trump's hands.

Conspiracy theory: Trump is trying to get pregnant with autistic babies.

If he is attending these meetings while COVID infected and undergoing treatment, wouldn't that explain the IV bruising and the sleepiness?

My speculation would be that he has long COVID or has had one or more unreported COVID infections (including possibly during this visit) which would lead to attempts at managing oxygen levels, particularly if he's going around unmasked and concealing COVID infections.

Specifically my thought id the test you're describing sounds consistent to me as a layperson with investigating the circulation in his lungs (which may be normal) to try and identify why blood oxygen is low. Imagine unexplained low oxygen leading to testing.

@drdavidbenjamin.bsky.social I just got around to your Trump imaging video. They injected him with dye but while they emphasize his CARDIOVASCULAR health is "normal" (normal doesn't preclude problems at 80; could be normal for his age and diet), they were looking at the whole abdomen.

RFK Jr apparently drinking raw milk shots with Paul Saladino.

RFK Junior is working hard to secure that nomination for poet laureate for next year.

Your satisfaction deserves no guarantee. It's buyer beware for you if you have wealth and the government you pay dues to spends it in a way that doesn't make you happy. If you think that the money you expend warrants happiness, go away. The rest of us use money to not die and get small dignity.

And if you don't want to pay what you owe, take all that money and go somewhere else and don't do business or peddle influence here but I don't want to have to deal with people who "dine and dash", who take and pretend they shouldn't owe unless what they take makes them happy.

Let me be explicit to the right: I do not want you to have that wedding, that extra car, that extra house, the voice and reach you have, what you want to do for your kids. I do not want that because the money in your accounts and portfolios is partly stolen money. You haven't paid what you owe.

I am starting to think the phrase "far right" is becoming white noise because SO MUCH is far right. The far right agenda with delegitimizing science boils down to a personal profit motive. When they can't make money off schools or healthcare as much they want, they create "alternatives".

The most enhanced-est.

I don't think Colloquial Malice is part of the defamation standard. Yet.

Here are some things that Charlie Kirk said in his life.

The man is dead, and so it only seems fair to share his legacy by cataloguing the values he spread while alive.

Honestly, I don't understand her being just 18 when FRANKLIN RICHARDS aged like 12 years between her first appearance and this. Like I'm pretty much pathologically opposed to not (slowly) aging characters. But this is also one of 72 reasons why Logan is probably on the Epstein list.

Newsweek Trump Ally Charlie Kirk Suggests Children Should Watch Public Executions FEB 24, 2024 AT 12:49 PM

Charlie Kirk literally believed that children should be forced to watch public executions. he was an evil & repugnant man without worth or value.

like i'm sorry but a guy who went around talking to college freshmen asking them to "change his mind" isn't one of our great political thinkers. he was a grifting podcaster

On events in Utah and elsewhere: It is all the same I see people calling out the shocking and sudden violence in Utah earlier today and placing it into a context with other physically violent attempts to silence speech or expression.
