Did you see that ludicrous display last night?

Losing the tab separators is what finally drove me over to Chrome.

Updated Wednesday June 14 2:10 p.m. EST - San Francisco Police have provided this statement to Jalopnik:

“The SFPD is aware of the social media video showing an autonomous vehicle stopped in the middle of a road during a recent shooting incident in San Francisco. The autonomous vehicle did not delay police, fire, or other emergency personnel with our arrival or departure from this scene. Furthermore, it did not interfere with our investigation into the shooting incident.

The spam text messages I’ve received this weekend are so bad I’m not sure if they are actually from DeSantis or a smear campaign by his opponents.

An earlier version of this article was published in June 2021.

I'm not sure if I should be alarmed that this is happening frequently enough to recycle older articles or comforted that we've already dealt with this trouble once before.

Pedantry is fact checking a comment, figuring out it would actually take around a cup (or 1/4 liter) of gasoline, then figuring out how to convert that to drops and pointing out it would actually take close to 4,700 drops, not just a few.

If the training data contains a lot of copyrighted material, then when the AI could end up trained to favor results that include parts That resemble copyrighted material.

How the copyrighted material was acquired could matter. If scraped with a valid API from social media, odds are the social media company claims a license to redistribute any content uploaded to it. But what if a lot of that content was uploaded illegally to begin with? The AI company could be unwittingly paying for stolen art. Or what if the AI company buys a curated collection of training data a different group put together? Odds are that may include copyrighted work, and the company selling it is unlikely to be licensed to do so…

A third issue is the intent of copyright. There is nothing natural or real about copyright. It is a concept we invented to aid creators so they can profit from their work and continue to produce more content which then benefits society. If AI art threatens that system, a court might decide protected art cannot be included in training data in order to maintain that intent.

In the aftermath of TotK, the world is in a sorry state. The sky islands are falling, violent quakes closed the access to the depths, and embers of darkness (fragments of the secret stone last held by Ganondorf) have fallen to the land and created fields of distortion where the present world has been over written by a section of the past. The worst are the dungeons, where the fragments empower new boss monsters.

Link and Zelda team up together to restore Hyrule with the new gameplay gimmick being the ability to swap between them. Link as a swordsman and Zelda with time powers (some inspiration from Bioshock infinite’s Elizabeth).
