I’m just a nerd girl.
To just have the most recent data within reasonable time frame is one thing. AI companies are like “I must have every single article within 5 minutes they get updated, or I’ll throw my pacifier out of the pram”. No regard for the considerations of the source sites.
If it had happened now, that figure might be accurate. However, this was originally exploited in 2022, so it’s probably pretty bad.
Two points. I’ve never paid for anything by cheque (we have had bank transfers in Finland for ages) and Blockbuster didn’t operate here (we had our local video rental chains, and the convenience store chain that I used to go to is still in business, just, you know, not having movies for rent any more)
“Hi, I’m an ultra boring nerd girl. I’m on several Fediverse platforms. …No, I don’t know Nicole. Please don’t follow me. No seriously please don’t.”
I’m not very good at socialising, sorry
Wikipedia has plenty of this stuff. Great photos and diagrams to illustrate important concepts.
For example, when discussing Turtles, you need the perfect photo to discuss the Turtle Mode.

Short summary: Elon gives Elon some Elon and congratulates Elon for being such an Elon, that big money boy he is. Money!
No, the 1990s didn’t smell of sex and candy. It smelled of a banking crisis and a box of 3.5" floppies.
I’m an artist / writer and I don’t see problem with generative AI when you’re at a really early concept stage. Exploring ideas, try to get over creative blocks, that sort of stuff. Maybe the AI hallucinations and fuckups can give you ideas worth exploring.
But using them as a literal basis for artwork you work further on is a fool’s errand. It’s easier to maybe take ideas from there, but work from scratch anyway. And I do realise that even that is controversial.
Also, could be a legal quagmire. Also not happy about the copyright appropriation situation or the environmental impact.
I’m not exactly neurotypical and I’m not good at in-person interviews. When I did video interview when applying for a training course, I did fine, because I wrote down a script. …What I’m getting at is that this video interview could have been an email. (Edit: Also didn’t get chosen for the course, so, meh)
