The Supreme Court doesn't care if you want to copyright your AI-generated art The highest court in the US declined to review a case about copyrighting artwork created with the help of AI.

And BOOM goes the dynamite. To all the AI Bros who have slid into my mentions to tell me that you CAN in fact copyright AI materials, the Supreme Court has told you to go suck rocks. A prompt is not authorship. And if there is no author, there is no valid copyright.

Jack arrived at the Castle of the Giant with Three Heads.

Jack arrived at the Castle of the Giant with Three Heads.

I am revising my very first alliterative-verse poem, β€˜The Lay of GΓ©ac Ettinfell’, a 134-line Old English-style retelling of β€˜Jack the Giant-Killer’. When I wrote this poem, my knowledge of the metrics of AV was rudimentary, but since the story is dear to my heart, I wanted to versify it properly.

one of my favorite things about Southern California is is how I can, whenever I’m real stressed, go out to the tide pools and find a sea slug almost as long as my forearm to look at

In my experience, the vast majority of waste in a software shop is time spent building things nobody wants on top of overly complex architectures that solve problems we don't have. Focus on that. Put solving your customer's actual (not imagined) problems first.

Took a break from the gauntlet today to catch some classic John Woo in 1986's "A Better Tomorrow".

This is one that's going into the Jellyfin as soon as I can track down a disc.

a thing historians will marvel about when they study this era is the extent to which the "war is a thing that happens to poorer, browner people" class went about systematically dismantling every aspect of the global political order that confined the costs of war to poorer and browner people

I *WAS* looking for the vertical Mutant Genesis poster that's the backside of the X-Men #1 gatefold cover you posted, but was having hell finding it.

This was a nice consolation prize.

had a death in the family and was almost completely off the internet for a few days & my observation is that there is too much happening too fast such that basic facts abt the world are difficult to ascertain unless you are mainlining info all the time & doing that seems to drive people insane

Raytheon Executive: I know you’re skeptical about buying American again. But hear me out. The MIM-104 Patriot is the only surface to air missile system with a proven track record of success against the US Air Force.

Danish Defense Minister: Continue.

Alamo Drafthouse Ditches Its No Phone Policy for QR Codes - D Magazine The dine-in cinema chain is ditching its β€œno phones allowed” policy for a new mobile ordering system it says will enhance the guest experience. The guests are not convinced.

I'm watching the same thing happen in realtime to @alamodrafthouse.bsky.social as CEO Michael Kustermann is torching TREMENDOUS amounts of brand goodwill in their move to push a stupid QR-code ordering system on everyone.

Literally torching the one thing that makes them special.

Smart move by Netflix to sit this one out, let the trustfund baby blow up the business, and pick up the pieces for pennies on the dollar.
