I do have a favorite for video game characters of the other gender. But I didn’t pick it until quite late in life, and I’m not sure it’s a good name for gender-bent me irl.
Parents had a name for a AFAB child iirc; though I’ve forgotten it.

You get a good number of data hoarders after a picture provider goes down/enshittifies. Yes, they’ll lose at least one large collection of photos. But I suspect many folks realize they could be banned, lose their account, etc, and take some effort to save things that matter.


hit surprisingly hard for such a chill scene. Very cool.


Note that this law was new as of this year, and very poorly received. Quote from article:
He [Jordan Teuscher, the original House sponsor] maintained that it was a “good policy” that has been “overshadowed by misinformation and unnecessary division.”
So watch for this to be proposed in a state house near you.


No. I’ll name three.
Pleias, an LLM family of models that train on the common corpus, compliant with EU copyright and fair use law. They filtered a public domain dataset for racism and other bias’s, and released the results.
common canvas is a (suite) of text-to-image models trained on a data they know is well sourced.
Apertus, public ai is a chat-gpt style bot made in collaboration with the swiss government, with a commitment to using only training data that complies with swiss fair use. They’ve chosen a model design that let’s them remove training data which is improperly labeled, or becomes no longer accessible (ie, by changing robots.txt).
Not to mention the hundreds of models academics in ML have trained using things like open diffusion and public datasets (see also these hobbyists).
They don’t have advertising budgets (generally). But you see a steady stream of open models on arXiv.


If you read the article, it’s because power companies are monopolies and so we’ve regulated them rather harshly. They are often compelled to build infrastructure to meet demand, for example. We don’t make the provider of a steel mill, housing builder, etc pay (generally).
And that’s weird, right? It’s one area of the market where we do a planned economy, and all states manage it differently. Now it’s being stress tested in a new way.


Seems plausible this is something to pester instagram support about?
Recovery will likely be invasive, if they provide it at all. But this shouldn’t be an unheard of situation.
Though you might could ask a lawyer to send a threatening letter, since all you want is information deleted.


It’s interesting to me that we don’t do this for all industries. Like, if a big auto manufacturer or textile company sets up shop, the local power company is compelled to build more power plants for them (sometimes the power company eats the cost, sometimes a deal with the provider, etc. See the article). Monopolies are weird.

Oh that’s interesting. I hadn’t realized the energy sector saw a C-suite pay spike too. Looking around, it seems like they were at or above pay for CEOs elsewhere. Crazy.
We’ve really seen deregulation under all the administrations, eh?


A funny application of the law. Seems a little silly as an answer here.


(Made my day that somebody read the article! I feel like these technical pieces flounder in obscurity.)


I find the different ways places answer this question really interesting. By this, I mean the systems we’ve had in place, the committees and applications and rules, for power providing the whole time.
It is interesting because power is a privately owned monopoly that we regulate to the extreme; so we get all sorts of weird relationships and arrangements. Now we see them all getting stress tested.


This large of a message is both a lot of work to make and probably expensive. I suspect the folks who made it put some thought into it. If you have a good idea for a poster, make it! No need to assume the worst in other activists, there’s space for many voices.
Sometimes being rude reduces your message reach, even if it is justified. Big projects also lead to cautious decisions.


This was a sign made for protest by folks in Venice, no? The image is familiar to me. The point is to get the attention of the media, not Bezos. Some questions are for the person being asked. Some are for the audience. This was clearly for the audience imo.


I think you’re confused at who the sign is talking to.
Fascinating. I see some psych studies correlating it with intelligence, but haven’t found any discussing it in a cross cultural setting. I’ll note that good irony requires sufficient context (the test stories psych studies use to evaluate this seem to be at least a paragraph). Do you know a good summary on the effect?
Regardless, I’m pretty sure the OP is not only a play with proportional distribution, it also makes a basic math error. There’s nowhere near enough money in the US economy to make everyone a billionaire. Total assets of all us sectors are around 150 trillion = 150 000 000 000 000 (yes freedom units are weird). Redistributed to 350 million= 350 000 000 folks leaves us with less than a million per person. Fed data
even if we correct for demographics (babies don’t need this cash quite yet), assume serious reporting errors, and I’m misreading a couple 0s somewhere in your favor, there’s still not that much money.


Larger family. Regular extended breaks to work on projects important to me. A news cycle that cares more about policy than the tragedy of the hour.
