@DiscordTraveler @esjesjesj as a teacher i can tell you that GATE style programs for children that young only serve as an opportunity for parents to browbeat teachers and administrators about how their child needs to be in the very best class

@fqiralys pretty uninformed take considering millennials poll dem +99. unless of course you think only your movement is progressive, which is a belief held by every generation in history

@DarrigoMelanie revisions are normal, both for monthly and quarterly gdp and inflation and most other economic statistics

@RANK10YGO you don’t think they killed his wife?

@SpencerHakimian liquidated traders, same people selling gold

@Flipout @SangoBeats tbh you should put your money where your mouth is and get out of my mentions then

[stephen @_burnt_orange]

@Flipout @SangoBeats that’s the actual beginning of the debate. or are you a little late to this one?

[stephen @_burnt_orange]

@Flipout @SangoBeats personally i think it was also bad and weird for different reasons when ai was first used to create vocals for dead singers. that instance of ai “music” is a separate issue since it wasn’t widespread theft of those artists’ work

[stephen @_burnt_orange]

@SangoBeats @Flipout that being said this is absolutely something you should care about. there are already music-themed generative ai products out there being trained on tracks for which no artists have been compensated

[stephen @_burnt_orange]

@SangoBeats @Flipout you know what, you’re right. while i’m stunned to learn even some professional artists aren’t aware of the ip implications of https://t.co/qydwIOlLoW, i missed an opportunity to spread knowledge in a way that might be better received than criticism

[stephen @_burnt_orange]

@SangoBeats @Flipout sure i could have said “actually sir openai is stealing his art to make that filter” but that information is so obvious that i thought you might need an illustrative metaphor

here before very conspicuous, closed-door meeting between jonathan witter and trump breaks

[Public Citizen @Public_Citizen]

Trump ordered a federal spending freeze on all grants & loans.

Students won't receive financial aid. Food assistance programs like SNAP are on pause. Programs like Medicaid and rental assistance will be impacted.

All this does is make it harder for working people to survive.

@saintpattinson seems like none of the alcoholics you mentioned are in recovery!

@TimitoDA @GeneErara @dieworkwear @trad_west_ once again you’ve cited the red cross and not the text of 18 U.S. Code § 706. what’s illegal is using the red cross to impersonate the organization. in the US it is not illegal to use a similar symbol for an unrelated purpose

[stephen @_burnt_orange]

@TimitoDA @GeneErara @dieworkwear @trad_west_ they are not tho lmao the united states government is. also your screenshot is the red cross saying they personally don’t permit anyone else to use the red cross which this brand is not. their copyright covers a specific symbol with specific dimensions in a specific orientation

[stephen @_burnt_orange]

@TimitoDA @GeneErara @dieworkwear @trad_west_ in america, random clothing brands are not party to the geneva conventions and the red cross doesn’t have prosecutorial authority. even then, game devs use stylized red crosses like that one all the time

[stephen @_burnt_orange]

@GeneErara @dieworkwear @trad_west_ idk bro is imogene + willie an armed fighting force or are they making jeans

My buddy is a hat maker in Altadena, and his shop burned down in the fire. I especially feel for him as a self-taught craftsperson caring for his family. If you want to donate, here is the family’s gofundme link: https://t.co/ZbeIaov5hm
