11 person company with 65,000 subscribers to their channel. Dude pays like $3000 per subscriber. Be cheaper just to pay people to listen to him.

It literally would have been cheaper to pay every subscriber a thousand dollars to listen to him.

He has made billions of dollars of the presidency and made himself everyone’s fucking problem, probably everything that he ever wanted.

Except that your boss just found an employee it likes more than you that doesn’t cost anything. The fact that it sucks at its job isn’t immediately apparent because your boss is an idiot.

Right, you can afford to do that because the company you are using is taking a loss on the product.

The midshipmans hitch (or the inferior scouting version called a taut-line hitch) is technically less useful in almost all cases to the Truckers Hitch you mention, but it is pretty good for tying down tarps and shit for camping, so the point that the people you are with will think you are some kind of amazing outdoors genius for whipping it out like its no big deal.

Also for camping: Tying a tight ridge-line using a truckers hitch across the top of your site and then using it to dangle lamps or to anchor tarps or hang clothes to dry or whatever using sliding prusik knots tends to impress as well. I like prusiks for this over the alpine butterfly because you can just tie the loops ahead of time and they are easy to slide around along the ridgeline.

For the simple reason that is is REALLY cheap to make and monetize real porn.

The only people using AI to make porn are people who wouldn’t be able to pay for it if they charged what it costs to use.

Yep. I bet the reason they never actually closed the deal with Disney is that Disney discovered that shitty Sora CG cost more than their in house systems.

That was probably what sunk the Disney deal.

Disney can already make shitty CG animation for basically nothing. What Sora did was offer a way of doing it without any real expertise, but Disney already had that. It was probably impossible for Sora to actually produce lower-tier Disney content for less than Disney is already able to do it for.

Yeah, i think they are already doing it as a pass-through with some other company.

They are probably licensing some bullshit to someone else.

Sure, until it starts flagging normal pictures with its janky AI and you get your door kicked in based on a warrant signed by Google.

It depends a great deal on if you have access to a real-time satellite feed and know where to look.

Remember what we’ve been saying since Google started? If they aren’t charging you then you aren’t the customer, your the product.

What do you think they are selling to the Pentagon?

Why? We are paying full price for these devices and nothing in any agreement made at the time of purchase suggests that you don’t own them. Why is it necessary to meet a middle ground between “you got what you paid for” and “you didn’t”?

What is it a compromise between? People who think they own the thing they paid for and people who don’t?

I don’t generally seek out information about the people that make media I enjoy but if I happen to find out because they are so stupid that I can’t avoid it then I will avoid their content if it is something that I find abhorrent.

Like, i don’t feel the need to vet a band but if I find out they are fucking horrible people despite making music that I liked I generally won’t enjoy listening to them anymore. There is so much good shit out there that its really not hard to find stuff that isn’t made by overt assholes.

It’s really really bad at doing spreadsheet analysis. Even basic shit that I would give to an intern. At least an intern with generally just make shit up and pretend it’s not wrong even when I point it out, and if they do I get a new intern.

Probably AI code getting tested by AI.

A soiled finger bandage.
