I don't think anyone gave him a pass. Everyone involved in this were sketchy as fuck but this guy didn't have anything directly illegal to pin on him.

The real pass was early 2000 when he appeared on talkshows and stuff. I always assumed that the guys doing it were from conservation focused and reputable zoos like Steve Irvin but a lot of them were just these weirdos.

Trying to be a good father is one of homers driving moral compasses. Often he does things to his kids that are bad and stupid but those are then the main story of the episode and he does his best to fix the wrongs he did, often by being genuinely empathic and understanding to his kids. The strangling is just abusive and there is never a consequence or resolution to it. That is a clear signal from the show that they think it's an ok "character flaw" to have.

Shrinkflation also has an element of being sneaky with it. Making the product cheaper or smaller without changing the price or packaging so that they can sneak the relative price increase past the customer.

This is them plainly telling the consumer that shit will be 5% more expensive now. That's just regular old inflation.

Tough tits. Imagine all the books, movies and games that could have been made if copyright didn't exist. Nobody else gets to ignore the rules just because it's inconvenient.

In order to lie you need to know what the truth is and intentionally give altered information with the intention to deceive. Large Language Models don't know things and don't have intentions. It spits out text based on input and what is already in the database.

There are ways do describe the behaviour of language models without ascribing them sentience.

"Musk’s company has been rumored to be planning to put such a program into effect for months. As early as November 2022, Musk posted on the social media site that a “vast number” of handles had been taken by “bots and trolls” and that he planned to start “freeing them up next month.” (In response, a user suggested a “Handle Marketplace” where people could sell accounts to each other, with the site pocketing a fee; Forbes couldn’t determine whether such a practice is now in place.)"

I seem to have misread this section as musk suggesting this but it's actually just some random user suggesting it to musk.

Unless you think you can sell it for more at a later date. It's NFT bullshit all over again.

The article talks about creating a marketplace for users to sell usernames to each other and twitter getting a cut of that.

I'm sure this wont create an incentive to create thousands of accounts in order to squat on them.

It is somehow comforting that the AI boom has all the hallmarks of every tech-bro endeavour ever which means it will crash and burn in a year or two.

They all sold out and they are all packed in one dudes garage. The actual sale of them will take place over the next year over a series of ebay auction, as is tradition for limited edition things.
