It used to be about the music!

As someone who prefers the MIT license, I honestly couldn't give a shit if you're using it to make billions by kicking children.

It may turn out to still be "too soon" if Meta doesn't up their game.

I can't believe it is [current year] and we're still hearing about the helium crisis.

Will it teach you to make useless shit while telling everyone you're inventing the future?

Freelancers typically make money by coding up solutions, leaning heavily on open-source, for individual clients (as opposed to mass-market software) or other forms of consulting. Sometimes they will become the caretaker of one or more "projects" that multiple clients rely on. That maintenance is billable. It's not uncommon for contract programmers to become small businesses. If they think they can get support from the community, open-source becomes the best option.

Outside an academic setting plagiarism is just called "thought".

This is just a batshit insane thing for a person who supposedly promotes the creative commons to say. Plagiarism isn't learning how to write articles like the NYT or how to write code like Linus or RMS. That's still the case if I program my computer to do it.

I'd be happy if they just sold it.

Pixel making too much money.

Seemed to take terrible performing models and marginally improve them. None of them are fit for purpose at the end of the training, so what was the point?

I thought it was funny.

> “It would mean all this training is so useless,” he thought.

That had to be written ironically.

How is this guy still a thing?

Turn the volume on your microphone down and watch as Whisper just starts SCREAMING.

I don't know where you live, but most large cities have an Improv Comedy scene that includes courses, weekly meetups and workshops. You will learn:

* How to talk like you have something to say

* How to leave space for others to talk

* Helping the conversation move along

* Saying stuff that is interesting but not necessarily true without being deceptive

* Be funny now and then (YMMV)

Oh I see, you seem to think he hasn't had this treatment before. I guess you missed the dozen previous times he's complained about the system trying to silence him. It's totally on-brand for Brand.

How's that?

He discovered who his audience is and, rather than recoil and amend his ways, leaned into it.

Through all that pain, humanity adapts.

Why is it that people who quit social media always have to make it everyone else's problem?

Moonlighters getting locked out, from what I've heard.

It means not being able to find available people with the needed skills. Typically this results from locking talent into exclusive arrangements.

How's the contract scene?

There's a difference between hiring staff and getting a job done. Most companies choose one or the other, but they're peanut butter and chocolate!

Yep, be great if someone nearby had the inclination.

Heh. The EFF is the legal support.

I expect they'd happily give access to anyone who wanted to cover it. Say, if someone wanted to do quarterly update videos, and had the appropriate skills, they'd only have to find the right person to ask, on the academic side. Hint.

Thanks for the update. I was taking no news as good news and didn't expect to hear anything until 2025 anyway.

Chris Freeland is a menace to our library. The case was open and shut.
