  • The newspapers said in the complaints, opens new tab ​that Brave illegally sells their content to AI companies including ​Anthropic, Perplexity and xAI — which are not defendants in the ⁠cases — in addition to infringing their copyrights by allowing users to ​access their articles for free

    The outlets’ lawsuits ​filed on ⁠Monday said that Brave “acts both like a burglar that misappropriates the content of publishers, and an AI ‘fence’ that ​sells stolen content to third parties”

    and if you got your daily protein requirements from Jiffy

    … Why would you ever do that…? Like, ever? Who is eating peanut butter as their only source of protein with which to hit the reccomended dietary intake?? I don’t think that’s particularly useful approach for analyzing the nutrition of peanut butter… 😅










  • I certainly agree this does not address the root issue, and it does normalize this technology for adresssing social issues and can then be applied to places where its more harmful like crime- And also I think taken on its own merits this is a good intervention to exist for suicide prevention specifically (though I think its valid to not take it purely on its own merits if one is concerned about the adoption of surveillance tech)

    I do want structural solutions though. But that requires rebuilding society in the image of treating humans better, better work and environmental conditions, rethinking healthcare (at least here in the US, no idea how things are in Korea), and about a million other things

    And I do think the normalization of surveillance infrastructure should be taken seriously. Especially with the present global rise of authoritarianism






  • I mean, I’m not a big fan of the carsal justice system, I don’t think sending this 80 year old woman to die in prison will somehow bring back the dead, but not taking away her license is kinda unreal

    A no contest rather than guilty pleas and moving assets feel like they may be things she was advised to do by her lawyer but do feel additionally gross.

    The culmination of it all definitely does not feel like justice. Though people in the comments here calling for her to die in prison probably ought to do some self reflection on how much they’ve bought into the notion that harming those who have done wrong somehow makes society or victims better off. Our criminal justice system sucks ass, institutional retribution has never been “justice” either.

    What a fucking depressing story and miscarriage of justice.
