Exactly. There needs to be a proper lawsuit challenging AI businesses, and the fact they’re taking out these contracts now, after the fact, suggests they know they’re liable. They’ve tried hiding behind the fair use research exemption, however their “research” is complete private and secret, offers no benefit to the academic community, and is entirely driven by commercial product development.

I wonder if individual users have standing to claim for the initial harvesting from before these licenses? At the time, while they got it from reddit or wherever, they collected it without any license, which I think means the original rights holder should be able to sue.

£10 million for a huge chunk of the world’s knowledge, without paying the authors. They do nothing and sell us for cheap.

I’m not saying people shouldn’t be disappointed with the US’ relationship with Israel, I’m merely saying that the blame for that shouldn’t be constantly lumped with the current president. People are chomping at the bit to say things like that whenever there’s a story about Israel, as if Biden was directly responsible for the situation and could oh so easily change things (with no other consequences).

Meanwhile, such bullshit directly aids Trump winning election shares. So the people complaining aren’t altruistic and making things better, they’re directly pushing towards something far worse.

This is different to someone walking in your door and shitting in your face. This is like your parents giving your friend permission to shit in your en suite toilet whenever they like, so long as they pay you for it in advance, with you accepting payment and then getting angry when they leave a particularly stinky poo that doesn’t flush.

Gotta love the discourse on Lemmy. So rational and well thought out. I’d love it if people would actually engage and argue the ideas, instead of just circlejerking with literal shit takes.

About the US and Israel? Probably, assuming Trump’s admin did the same as every other.

Which president would do a better job?

The content about white phosphorous is also somewhat overblown. According to the person they interviewed, they used white phosphorous in Lebanon “every day for a month” back in October 2023. This was also around the time they were accused of using white phosphorous in Gaza.

Obviously any use of white phosphorous is reprehensible, and the fact that they were doing it more in Lebanon than in Gaza (where everyone’s attention was at the time) is even worse, but I think it’s hard to claim that the use of white phosphorous is what’s going to cause the current conflict to boil over.

“Since October” and yet the article only talks about it being done in October/November last year.

Not so much another, this is about them using white phosphorous “every day for over a month” over a village in Lebanon back in October 2023.

I saw reports of them using white phosphorous in Gaza back in October 2023, Israel denied that’s what it was. It was only the one time, though, and I guess they stopped as all the cameras were looking that way. Apparently they didn’t stop so quickly in the other direction.

Looking through the article, it doesn’t suggest this is a new event. The photo is from October last year, where Israel was previously accused of using white phospherous, alongside an interview with a farmer who professes the same:

He says Israel fired white phosphorous shells at his land in the village of al-Bustan every day for over a month, robbing him of breath, and his livelihood.

So, not again, but more confirmation of the same previous event. Also, I wasn’t aware of it being done over Lebanon in October, and not every day for a month, I only saw the stuff about them using it one time in Gaza.

I think that’s standard with food. When you first encounter it, the body’s normal reaction is “WTF is this?! It’s going to kill me!!”, then the second time it’s more like “Hmmm I don’t know about this, but it didn’t kil me last time”. Then eventually you learn to like the food.

Meanwhile, many allergies are not actually caused by the thing you reacted to, but to something else. Your body just associates the bad effect with something that else alongisde it. For example, a seafood allergy can develop after eating bad seafood - but it doesn’t happen until after. The time you eat bad seafood will be largely uneventful, maybe you have a bit of a dodgy poo, but then the next time you eat seafood you will have a bad allergic reaction. Your body detected the harmful substance that came with the bad seafood, then associates the harm with all seafood, such that all seafood is then rejected.

Only about a day after I noticed it wasn’t playing videos for me anymore. The eternal game of whack a mole with Google carries on…

Yep. There’s a good BBC documentary podcast about it.

Usually you need more than a bit of contextual string to cover a cunt.

They’ve also just recently been bought by someone who really wants to restore it to it’s heyday glory. They’re going to do video content again and even release a print edition for paid subscribers.

I think probably not, they’re still a civilian.

Yeah, like I said in my other comment, my brain farted and assumed right wing = red.

Ahh yes I misread and assumed NFP was right, probably because they are red lol.
