  • Patent troll Sable pays up, dedicates all its patents to the public!

    Jump

  • How's about a patent that expires 5 years after its first use by a billion+ dollar company? 5 years after it is used in more than 10,000 products? 5 years after its licensing has yielded over $1M in profit? 5 years after spending over $100k on advertising? 5 years after your first major court settlement?

    I think there are ways to protect individual innovators but also lessen patent abuse

  • Sure, there are risks, but if the alternatives are pony up $100k for a new exosuit, or just don't fucking walk again, I see why repair is an enticing option.

  • I’ve started choosing the companies I use based much more on the experience offered when their product/service DOESN’T work, rather than when it does.

    Easy to do for a cell phone or a toaster, but I can't imagine there's a ton of options for exosuits that correct your condition, covered by your insurance, that your doctor is familiar enough with to prescribe (for lack of a better term).

    Some things are annoying to make abandonware, and some things should be criminal.

  • Trump and Harris to Appear at Separate Univision Town Halls

  • A courts reporter wrote about a few trials. Then an AI decided he was actually the culprit.

    Jump

  • If these companies are marketing their AI as being able to provide "answers" to your questions they should be liable for any libel they produce.

    If they market it as "come have our letter generator give you statistically associated collections of letters to your prompt" then I guess they're in the clear.

  • “Model collapse” threatens to kill progress on generative AIs

    Jump

  • The problem is these AI companies currently exist on the business model of not paying for information, and that generally includes not wanting to pay content curators.

    Google is probably the only one in a position to potentially outsource by making everyone solve a "does this hand look normal to you" CAPTCHA

    They can try and train AI to detect AI, but that's also difficult.

  • This company sells real human skulls. It claims all of its skulls are ethically sourced. How do you ethically source a human skull for sale to a random buyer?

    Jump

  • In theory? It's all about traceability and consent, preferably with a third party auditing system. A good skull salesman should be able to provide you with documentation of the origin of your skull and the consent obtained, as well as a contact at their third-party auditing firm. if the skull is fair trade, they should also be able to provide evidence that they are paying above market rates for their skull harvesters.

  • Israeli Leaders Demand Probe of IDF Rape Video—To Find Out Who Leaked It

    Jump

  • No president has ever been or will ever be perfect, but we've had some good steps since LBJ:

    Clinton's increased taxes on the rich, defense spending cuts, etc, got us our first and last government surplus years since '69, and made a little progress on welfare, but that was largely hampered by a Republican takeover of the House in '94

    Obama passed the ACA, which was pretty meaningful to the middle class. Again, further progress got hampered by Republicans in congress in the later years of his presidency

    Biden has passed the Inflation Reduction Act, which has lots of progressive incentives that benefit middle class families, including tax breaks for home efficiency improvements, renewable energy, and electric vehicles. He has also helped wipe away billions of dollars in student loan debts, benefiting middle class families (but again, you can thank Republicans for that not moving further or quicker)

    You'll note the constant tend though - since the president doesn't write the laws, without congressional support, progressive ambitions get killed.

  • that actually has a reasonable chance of getting in

    unless you're willing to vote third party

    To be abundantly clear, with the system as designed in the US, third party (presidential) candidates do not have any chance of "getting in" this election, let alone a "reasonable" chance (in certain areas, some options may exist for lesser political appointments).

    Voting third party is at best a weak attempt to signal preference for future elections, but at worst a gift to whichever party or candidate you consider to be "most bad".

    By all means, protest vote in the primaries, campaign for candidates you believe in, and most importantly, discuss the issues that are important to you to help bolster public awareness, but please, PLEASE, don't fall for the con that is voting 3rd party in the election.

    I don't know who your third party favorite is, but do yourself a favor and look at who is donating to their campaign, and what other campaigns those donors support - a lot of money is thrown at 3rd party candidates to draw votes away from credible political opponents.
