  • In this case they’re trying to sue the government itself which has sovereign immunity, not qualified. Congress passed a law that allowed some channels past that sovereign immunity but the courts have been very conservative as to how it’s interpreted. That’s the federal torts claims act. One of the key things it doesn’t cover is intentional torts. So if someone though negligence hit you in the mouth and knocked the teeth out, you can sue. If, by contrast, they did it through malice and battery you cannot but you can break through their personal qualified immunity if you could prove malice. Good luck




  • That’s largely what you see in China. Northern forests for paper, some hemp in the ag areas but mostly food. Finland and Sweden are major paper producers but they couldn’t grow hemp if they wanted. And Brazil grows eucalyptus in marginal soils(acidic post pasture that cant even support cattle grazing anymore, none the less hemp and what annual tillage would do for the erosion of already shitty soil) very quickly to produce a massive amount of paper(with it’s own ecological problems). None of these have anything to do with US drug laws or monopolies.







  • I don’t think the console market is okay for a variety of reasons. This particular issue however, not being able to publish whatever the fuck you want under someone else’s brand, is very much not high on them. The other reasons, the anticompetitive nature of the industry, is what makes it a problem. Most certainly not someone deciding they don’t want their product marketed with fucking around with corpses.

    And relieving the developers of the agency of their own vision is specious. They made a decision. Obviously this new direction is within what they’re trying to deliver or they wouldn’t be doing it. The most salient point here is that the amount of changes they seem to be making are negligible. Dismemberment of living people fine, dismemberment of corpses gone. They claim they’ve preserved their vision through limited changes. Everybody else is playing like the loss of that is a fundamental betrayal. It’s fucking ridiculous.




  • There’s so very much in that paper that doesn’t seem to suggest what they are saying it does. It suggests people are directly using those tools to create scripts for academic videos instead of their fundamental speech changing. They state that they manually reviewed for “reading vs spontaneous” and found about 30 percent were directly reading a script, but extrapolating the non “reading” samples to not have used AI copy edited outlines in this context is a leap. It would make more sense that they did. These lecture videos were not examples of natural language use in any sense.

    Our study is focused on academic communication, yet we anticipate that similar patterns may extend to other communicative contexts.

    Seems particularly unfounded (though it really has enough hedges to make it a non statement “similar” “may” with no reference to what context they’re thinking of). It’s also a preprint that gets most of its models from preprints.

    Then the vice article takes every weakness of the paper and actually amplifies them to a really profound degree. We’ve got researchers trying to push an AI is transformative narrative and a journalist trying to push an AI makes you stupid narrative right off a cliff into “popsci journalists reporting on preprints make stupid claims” pit.

    The liberal brain, gentlemen. Tou Thao was convicted for keeping bystanders from intervening while not doing anything himself. He might’ve been less worse, but he still deserved to go to prison. And he remained unrepentant to the end. Of the four cops he got the second worst sentence despite never laying a hand on Mr. Floyd precisely because he refused to admit any culpability. It really is a good comparison, seeing this comment.
