the only parts here that aren't completely normal are AI training rights (worth deleting your account over on its own, of course) and the $15000 fee for accessing 1000000 posts in 24 hours (this is 11.5 posts per second, by the way, what journalists are reading that much?)

Okay, see, obviously twitter is bad, but most of this is extremely normal EULA stuff that they've already had for over a year, and the really bad stuff they've... still had for over a year?? Like, since they started on AI. Arbitrary termination is extremely difficult to run social media *without*??

"creatives just don't understand" is already a mask off statement lol, most of the pro-AI people who actually want to make an attempt to appeal pretend it's something creatives should *obviously* be fully on board with

"explode" and "applaud" come from the same word, but "explode" meant "boo someone off the stage [via clapping]", and that somehow became today's meaning, while "implode" of course just comes from "explode". fun

this is how i feel about Antimatter Dimensions, one of the most well-designed idle games I play whose achievements are all deeply embarassing 2016 reddit crap (and, even worse, you can really, really tell it's 2016 humor in particular)

The comparison of which can be regarded as "more widely known". Hitchhiker's guide is massively popular in, like, the "older nerd" circles, but whatever 67 comes from seems to have gone really proper mainstream. I'm not sure they can be compared so directly.

i don't know where 67 is from at all but I have my doubts that "it's more widely known" is accurate these days, or even a real apples-to-apples comparison at all?

it is my dearest, most sincere hope that someone reads this and thinks it's modern meme humor when in fact it's meme humor for the c. 30-year-olds who were like 5 when pokemon came out

If you hear someone saying cooling will be easier in space, you can instantly write them off as someone who has never read a single relevant book or paper and never talked to a single person with undergraduate level expertise. This is very basic.

about such things, but you really have to put some thought into the services you're actually using. it's like complaining that your bank knows how much money you have
