Mike - Towards a Metric America!
@navigatorbr.bsky.social
An American who fights for British Rail.

Also big on manga/anime.

He/Him
I mean, we know what happens when Russia tries to take an airport.

Their big masculine airborne forces get multched and don't actually take the airport.

This is one the most irritating parts: We could just go look at how everyone else has done it and basically build a system from the best parts, and learn from their weak points.

Honestly, the hard work has arguably been done for us by everyone else being before us.

He's like "Wha- I was asleep! This is my sleep under this side of the tree time!"

Let me guess: The specific AI work is not, but the Disney characters depicted still are.

You're never going to get adoption and acceptance of something built off of wholesale theft. GenAI isn't Crunchyroll; it's not going to suddenly be OK because "it's doing things legally now."

Too many of us have been hurt, too many of us have seen our friends and colleagues suffer because of it.

I'm also a publication-owner, who's spent countless hours trying to block the scraper bots out of my systems because they put undue strain on our servers, and because - again - theft. It's infuriating to see ChatGPT come up in our logs, because we have done everything in our power to block them out.

Oh, and then the bastard cut and run after doing his stupid merger.

Fucking scumbag.

Fuck Daniel Greenstein.

I see someone is a US Chemical Safety Board video fan.

Hold on, you're how old?!

(Realizes this should *not* be a surprise considering when "Multiplex" started...)

I guess this makes sense, but it also wouldn't surprise me that they were just harassing Venezuela because they were looking for someone to start a war with, that they hoped they could win.

Only font war that matters:

Also, everyone is absolutely shortening that to "British Rail" and "BR" in casual conversation and writing.

Fucking nobody is calling it "Great British Railways" except as a punchline when trains are late.
