Nothing will. They want to see LTT fail because they made a few bad mistakes. These are the same people on the relationship forms who say "break up" at the slightest negative.

The problem is the repuational damage, and subsequently financial damage to the brand. A not ingsificant number of people unsubscribed and stoped watch watching their videos. More importantly sponsors could stop sponsoring them because they don't the association - just as we've seen LMG drop sponsors over the years.

If they just settled this quietly, the assumption would be the settlement was an admittion of guilt.

Assuming the allagations are false, the defimation suit is a legimate response - for a business model that relys on sponsors and reputation, having that damaged is a big deal financially.

In realty, there is nothing to gain to from pursing the case - a business going after an individual is a horrible idea for PR and the individual isn't going to have the money to make up the cost anyways.

I didn't follow it closely either, in fact this is the first I've heard about ex employees confirming and an album of screen shots.

However, I am hesitant to accept screenshots as proof of anything - this is a company of artistic tech nerds, I'm sure 70% of the staff could make a convincing screenshot and 30% of them will know to make the metadata match.

As for ex employees speaking up, it's all hearsay. It could be true, but it could also not. There's no reliable way to determine that with out substantial evidence backing them.

I would accept it if someone took them to the courts and won - unfortually thats a huge finaical burdern for an individual, so that's unlikely to happen.

Alternatively if the labor board started issuing fines for crimes, that'd be a clear indicator something bad was happening.

In this case, I am sticking with inoocent until proven guilty.

I took it more as a you can only pick two, but if you had them all - you could eat them all (side effects may vary)

I think they're only duplicating the new shoebox pill.

The initial shoebox is filled with all the pills from list, including a new shoebox pill and a new duplicate pill. In fact the duplication pill is reduant so long as you always use the new shoebox pill to get another box of pills.

The duplication pill is still good to make backup shoebox pills. You don't want to rely on the one and accidently use it on something else, breaking the infinite loop.

You mean the ones that failed multiple model years because the ribbon was too short?

Basically if I want to create ... (I'll use a different example for obvious reasons, but I'm sure you could apply it to the topic)

... "an image of a miniature denium airjet with Taylor Swift's face on the side of it", the AI generators can despite no such thing existing in the training data. It may take multiple attempts and effort with the text prompt to get exactly what you're looking for, but you could eventually get a convincing image.

AI takes loads of preexisting data on airplanes, T.Swift, and denium to combine it all into something new.

Sure is. I report the ones I come across as clickbait or missleading title, explaining the parts left out...such as this one where those 7 words change the story completely.

Whoever made that headline should feel ashamed for victimizing a grommer.

Simulated crimes aren't crimes.

If they were, any one who's played games is fucked. I'm confident everyone who has played went on a total ramapage murdering the townfolk, pillaging their houses and blowing everything up....in Minecraft.

The headline/title needs to be extended to include the rest of the sentence

"and then sent them to a minor"

Yes, this sicko needs to be punished. Any attempt to make him the victim of " the big bad government" is manipulative at best.

Edit: made the quote bigger for better visibility.

With a comment like that, she ain't one the good ones.

Nor do I believe in Santa Claus, the tooth fairy, or the Easter bunny.

How we supposed to get people to switch to Linux with this guy spouting nonsense? /s
