Hulu was jointly owned by Disney/ABC, Comcast/NBC, Fox, and Warner Bros. Disney bought Fox, becoming the majority stake holder. Comcast and Warner threw in the towel and sold their shares to Disney.
One of the advantages of a decentralized platform like Lemmy is the ability to create parallel communities on the same topic. “You don’t like how a community is being moderated? Go to another instance and start a new community!” (with or without blackjack and hookers)...
Consolidation would defeat the purpose of decentralized fediverse instances. Instead, I would like to see a method for allowing the automation of cross posting between related communities on different instances. There would not be dependency on a single instance; each mod would retain control of their community; and the segmented communities can connect with one another with ease.
“It comes from a very ancient democracy, you see…"
“You mean, it comes from a world of lizards?”
“No,” said Ford, who by this time was a little more rational and coherent than he had been, having finally had the coffee forced down him, “nothing so simple. Nothing anything like so straightforward. On its world, the people are people. The leaders are lizards. The people hate the lizards and the lizards rule the people.”
“Odd,” said Arthur, “I thought you said it was a democracy.”
“I did,” said Ford. “It is.”
“So,” said Arthur, hoping he wasn’t sounding ridiculously obtuse, “why don’t people get rid of the lizards?”
“It honestly doesn’t occur to them,” said Ford. “They’ve all got the vote, so they all pretty much assume that the government they’ve voted in more or less approximates to the government they want.”
“You mean they actually vote for the lizards?”
“Oh yes,” said Ford with a shrug, “of course.”
“But,” said Arthur, going for the big one again, “why?”
“Because if they didn’t vote for a lizard,” said Ford, “the wrong lizard might get in. Got any gin?”
“What?”
“I said,” said Ford, with an increasing air of urgency creeping into his voice, “have you got any gin?”
“I’ll look. Tell me about the lizards.”
Ford shrugged again.“Some people say that the lizards are the best thing that ever happenned to them,” he said. “They’re completely wrong of course, completely and utterly wrong, but someone’s got to say it.”
“But that’s terrible,” said Arthur.
“Listen, bud,” said Ford, "if I had one Altairian dollar for every time I heard one bit of the Universe look at another bit of the Universe and say ‘That’s terrible’ I wouldn’t be sitting here like a lemon looking for a gin.”

The text in OP’s post is the copied transcript of the letter (including the random number 2 used for citation). It contains no commas and uses an ampersand.
His testimony states that he chose at random which boxes were being moved and that Trump decided how many boxes were enough. Not all the boxes contained classified documents and the testimony states they didn’t know what was in the boxes, those that were returned or retained.
It demonstrates noncompliance with the presidential archiving laws but not necessarily the willful retention of classified materials.
Hawaii’s landmass is spread out across islands. If you smash them all together the size looks like it’d be comparable to Illinois. Colorado, on the other hand, looks a bit large.
That’s not how that works. 1. Aladdin isn’t an original Disney story. Like Cinderella, it’s an old story and anyone can make a version of it. 2. The timer on the animated film can’t be reset. It’s running and will continue to run. Steamboat Willie is the prime example of this. That version of Mickey is now in public domain, but later versions are not.
Still no, because the timer started with the first release of the first product.
Yes, but now there are 2 versions of Genie with two different copywrite timelines. Both are still currently protected. (I will admit I haven’t looked up if Genie is a registered trademark; still talking about copywrite here.)
Yes, but the Steamboat Willie Mickey Mouse character isn’t the same as the registered trademark of Mickey Mouse…but
The argument isn’t that he was unaware of the law but that he was unaware he was violating it. In order to be convicted of mishandling the classified documents it has to be proven that he did it intentionally. The law is forgiving for accidental mishandling.
The jiggly argument is about not all parts moving at once or in one direction. If you jiggled to the right by taking one 18 inch step to the right, sticking your left arm straight left, waiving your right arm in a complete circle, holding your left foot 3 inches off the ground, and squatting down 10 inches how far have “you” moved?
I’m not a mathematician but if I recall correctly slope is defined the change in y over the change in x. In your formula solved for x, m would represent the inversion of that, the change in x over the change in y.
The problem with your test is that you’ve limited it to text processing. General AI would be able to perform a multitude of tasks in varying environments.
Saying it lacks access to data is a severe oversimplification. The LLMs themselves are data. Saying that it lacks access to data also implies the data it lacks exists.
If an LLM were installed on a system with cameras and robotic arms it will never be able to make tea. It can probably tell you how tea is made, but it doesn’t know how to do it itself. It won’t know how to move the arms or process images from the cameras or identify and manipulate objects. It wasn’t designed to do that and is unable to adapt itself to the situation. LLMs are designed to regurgitate statistically likely text phrases.

They tried going after the servers and owners and found it impossible to defeat all the piracy sites. There are too many sites scattered across too many jurisdictions and new ones are created too easily. Instead, they want ISPs to do the work for them. When the ISPs fail the MPAA can sue them and make more money.
