Journalists claim their work is necessary for the democratic process. Which they use as a reason why their work is supposedly important, even though they are not really reporting anymore, just making up things.

Thats what most journalists do these days. I was even told straight to my face that "creative writing" was necessary as the mediaoutlet already knows what their readers like, and therefore facricate paragraphs which they know wil

Sure there is, what do you think header files are? Just use a prototype and defer the actual code to a lter point in the file, voila, story mode.

Yes, I was inaxact, sorry for that. Note that the term "mother" tongue is problematic in this context anyway, as there are many examples of caregivers and school systems not being fluent in sign language. I know a 70-something w

I still fondly remember the story an OpenAI rep told about fine-tuning with company slack history. Given a question like "Can you do this and that please." the system answered (after being fine-tuned with said history) "Sure

Even with sign language and the ability to read, deaf people often have very limited grammar and sometimes outright bad writing style. We rely far more on spoken language then we think. If you take that away, so much practice when it come

A law is only relevant if you are able to enforce it. I suspect if you arent a huge corporation, you'll likely have a hard time enforcing your copyright. So, the truth for individuals still stands. Dont put it online if you dont wan

So, given that you propose violence as a viable solution, I hope your relatives (and you, for that matter) are not imigrants in a country I visit. Just because you had a unhappy past does not mean you can and should drag your bullshit beha

If any of your relatives would punch me for whatever reason, the correct reaction would be to go to the police and take them to court. Just because you are upset does not mean you can suggest physical violence like that, just casually. St

Every company is selling one thing or another, and nothing is going to last forever. I really fail to see what, except for generic negativity, your comment adds to anything.

Very constructive comment, thanks you! So, me liking the AppStore checks as an extra security measure leads to you suggesting people should be welded into their homes. That is totally sane and absolutely not childish.
