Andres Guadamuz

A really smart elderly person I know has fallen through the rabbit hole of online conspiracy theories, sending me videos about Brigitte Macron, and the "secret world order". I'm truly surprised, this is a person who has been online for years, and had never shown propensity to this crap.

No worries, I only have one person blocked here so I'm assuming it's the same weird crazy guy who seems unhealthily obsessed with me (and I don't use that word lightly).

I can't see the post, I'm assuming it's the same guy who I've had blocked for 3 years who keeps repeating some weird conspiracy stuff, I don't bother.

Revisiting copyright infringement in AI inputs and outputs I've been busy in recent weeks writing my last project for the summer, a book chapter on AI and copyright for the next edition of Law, Policy and the Internet, edited by Lilian Edwards. This is a very popular textbook series because it presents chapters in a variety of Internet Law subjects in an approachable manner, and they tend to do so also very thoroughly.

I always defined it as a system of law that is primarily based on legal decisions and precedent, as opposed to civil law systems that rely on the written law.

Hello, I’m an academic in a film. I'm absent-minded, obsessed with arcane knowledge nobody else cares about, badly dressed, have no social skills, and wild curly hair... oh wait, oh no, oh wait!

There are 3 ages for adult men in Spanish: joven, señor, and don. I spent a long time as joven, and migrated to señor only around 40. But now I've moved into 'don' too quickly.

I think I'll pass.

And so it begins.

Were I a student wanting to do a degree abroad, the USA would be the last country on my list, who would want to chance being detained by ICE, or denied entry because of an old social media post?

Looking at postgraduate applications for this year, our numbers are up compared to last year. While it's difficult to predict if those will turn up, at least for now things are looking up. I wonder if UK academia is about to benefit from all the anti-immigration push in the USA?

Because Guadamuz is such a difficult name, most of my students have now migrated collectively towards "Dr Andres".

There has been a move recently to restrict note-taking agents because not everyone consents to their use, I had one as an experiment for a while and decided to shut it down.

It's inherent feature of LLMs, they hallucinate whatever you ask them, particularly if you ask something that is not on the training data.

This movie is so stupid it's giving me a headache.

I think it may have been that I watched a Cofeezilla video on Epstein (in his voidzilla channel), the algo makes connection that I want to watch more of that stuff.

Transcendence (2014) is only 11 years old, but it feels like it was made last century.

Fun fact, I'd get as much money as George R. R. Martin if funds were distributed by number of tokens 😂

YouTube is now recommending me videos by Asmongold about Epstein, in case you were wondering just how the algorithms have contributed to making this a huge issue.

I had never clocked that Heath Ledger's Joker was a mashup of Tom Waits and Malcolm McDowell´s Alex DeLarge (A Clockwork Orange).

I've done Sorcerer and Paladin so far, so I guess Druid next.

It´s Pitchfork, it's very Indie and Alternative.

YouTube video by Proxy Gate Tactician Can You Beat Baldur's Gate 3 As a Cat?

I'm obsessed with game challenge videos. I loved this one for BG3: "Can you beat Baldur's Gate 3 as a cat?" The answer is no for a couple of clicks that require humanoid action, but you'll be surprised how much can be done in cat form. youtu.be/JsX9DzZuuvU?...

Lost Boys, concert at the beach.

What's the most 80s movie scene? I'll start.

Bluesky is rolling out age verification in the UK Bluesky users in the UK can verify their age using their face, ID, or payment card.

Starting July 25, Bluesky will require users in the UK to scan their face, upload an ID or verify their identity with a bankcard.

I realize that platforms feel they have no choice but to comply with the government surveillance schemes, but shocking nonetheless.

Yes, pretty much.

The issue that came up in the Getty case was actually that the owners were all over the place, and also that Getty was suing in the US. Had this been an individual suing Stability, I think the analysis would be different. But lex loci delicti is still a good starting place to establish jurisdiction

Cat too.
