Gfycat had the excellent business model of hosting a load of high bandwidth content and not making any money from anyone

Totally agree. I don't care that my data was used for training, but I do care that it's used for profit in a way that only a company with big budget lawyers can manage

Artist Banned by Midjourney Over Fake ‘Photos’ of Cheating Politicians
If politicians don't want to be seen cheating how come there's so much training data of cheating politicians?

If we think of production as costing land, labour and capital, then more efficient methods of production would likely swap labour for capital. In that case then we just tax capital growth like we're doing now (Only properly, like without the loopholes). No need to complicate it past that

I didn't just brick my Linux install in under a day. I was actually practicing a cyber attack against a secure system that successfully compromised all functionality...
But yes I did also just brick my Linux install in under a day

shitty sequel
I've heard a fair bit of hate against the sequel, could I ask why you dislike it? I've always thought of it as effectively a graphically updated version of the first game

Why I stopped arguing about the climate emergency and tried the silent treatment instead | Helena Echlin
Interesting read but I can't see this doing anything other than inciting mockery. The discussion on the environment is so developed that this sort of showmanship will only appeal to those that don't need their minds changing.
If it makes the author more comfortable and the apocalypse more vibey though I guess I'm down for it

continues the endless inflation
UBI would likely lead to a decrease in wages or at least a period of stagnation as it would be less important to employees. As far as I've heard long run it shouldn't hurt

Sailors could start wearing a black eye patch so they can quickly adjust to the dark when they go below decks.
I also think they should drink more rum but that's harder to make an argument for

I'd agree with all points but (As a Brit if that makes a difference) still like fireworks. Bonfire night and the new year fireworks are both big events in the UK, but largely took the form of fewer, larger displays that community centres or councils run. As such most people can get to a celebration but the damage is localised.
I have unfortunately noticed that recently more people have been setting them off in their backyards so would support more restrictions on who can buy them.

Lab-grown meat is now approved for sale in the US. Will it help the climate?
Relevant video about lab meat. Tldr it will not scale enough to make a difference.
