If you lose your job you can just become a bone donor. You get a sweet t-shirt too!
I feel like this actually highlights an undocumented feature of AI that institutions are taking advantage of: the ability to go "The AI fucked up. It happens. What're you gonna do?" I don't see anyone being held…

i'm not looking at the guesses, i'm looking at the distribution of guesser success rates. assuming random distribution, counterintuitively enough, you would expect some guessers to appear much better or much worse than…

the crux of whether or not this is extortion isn't just "something I don't like happens". it's not extortion to dislike a business's practice, and it's not extortion to tell your friends about it. it may be distasteful,…
If 10,000 people guess 10,000 fair coin flips each one of them will get more guesses right than any of the others, one of them will get fewer guesses right than any of the others, and the gulf between the two is likely…
protection rackets involve crime and violence. talking to people about a business doing things you don't like is neither of those things. that's just coopting actual victimhood in an effort to make people disapproving…
>I suspect you’d probably just carry on per usual. That's entirely what I'm afraid of
Hey, so what do y'all think it felt like back in the 30s to watch the world split between a handful of really aggressive countries and everyone else? Specifically, what do y'all think it felt like to be a non-aggressive…
but the only way they can "fuck up" this business is by influencing their reputation. no one is getting a brick through their window. this is an attempt to try to mutate basic feedback mechanisms until they're…
>It's something else entirely to threaten the business owner. Please enumerate the threat, as I've been unable to find anything that passes for a threat in the article.
why is talking about this with their community a threat?
I would once again like to point out that the "threat" mentioned in the article is someone saying they'll talk about what the shop owner did with their friends.
if i'm expected to make coffee and art then it's perfectly reasonable to expect more money than if I'm merely expected to make coffee. whether that comes as part of base salary or as some contract-esque arrangement when…
the only "threat" mentioned in the article is that someone said that if she didn't take the sign down they would post about it in a local artist community. Threatening people with violence is always unwarranted, but…
keep trying to listen to Negativland but then my mind just turns to Pepsi, and I couldn't tell you why...
are identical twins the same person?
no one is challenging whether "fuck" is offensive, we're challenging what powers the mild abrasiveness of a single word actually gives people in controlling behavior.
This brought to you by the same legal scholars that brought you theories such as "Everyone knows 'own' doesn't mean 'own'" and "It's okay to give the judge hearing your case tons of money because that's just gifts…

How clear is it when I google a recipe and get an AI-generated recipe that's clearly derived from the top three results and then placed above those results? That sounds like it's both transformative (in that the recipe…
