The Nigerian government also confirmed the US attack on Friday. The Foreign Ministry stated that such operations were part of ongoing security cooperation with the US, which had led to “precision strikes on terrorist targets” in the northwest of the country
It should be mentioned that the Nigerian government says they requested the strike
This is really great, thank you for sharing!
Trump being embarrassed for people thinking he had a gay relationship makes him homophobic
Affirming that embarrassment by making it the butt of the joke makes the joke homophobic
Hope that helps.
The implication is that it would be embarrassing for him to have had a gay relationship.
Trump not wanting people to think that he’s gay is the other half of the homophobia, and by making that the butt of the joke, we’ve affirmed it.
“They lied” implies intent to deceive.
I’m still not arguing against their disqualification, I’m saying people need to lay off the sauce - it’s not hard to imagine how this could have been accidental and not malicious.
We don’t need to torch an effigy every time a studio mentions AI in an interview.
Still, there’s a lot of room there for some grace. I don’t think it’s unreasonable to strip them of the award, but the level of outrage I’m seeing in this thread and elsewhere isn’t proportionate to the offense.
People really need to chill with this.
People keep saying the problem ‘wasnt that they used AI placeholder assets, it’s that they lied on the disclosure’, but boy does that still seem like a reach
When you have dozens of people working on a huge creative project, it would take an almost omniscient creative director to know where every asset in every scene came from with certainty. It isn’t hard to imagine a designer somewhere on the team sneaking an AI asset into a pre-release build and forgetting about it. The fact that it was later disclosed suggests that whoever was applying for the award wasn’t aware of that asset being used and then replaced at the time of submission.
I dont mind having some awards dedicated to genAI-free works, but people really need to stop getting their pitchforks out at every mention, otherwise they risk turning into a lynch mob. This doesnt sound like an intentional omission to me.
“Honey, all I need is $10,000 for a server and we’ll never pay for Spotify again”
14 years of experience has made me much more sympathetic to that man than I was when this first went viral
I have definitely had this experience with my dog, except it was a flock of ducks and he swam halfway across a lake after them
It’s wild to me how much of a boogeyman Russia has been made into in lib circles.
There are probably a dozen or so countries who actively root for and foment political discontent in the US, but for some reason any American that falls into alignment with some loose formation of anti-democraric positions qualifies specifically as a Russian agent
Libs do not realize just how xenophobic their own politics have become. Just because you think your fears are justified doesn’t mean they arent irrational
That’s a 10/10 headline, no notes
China has many more socialized services and their income level is far less indicative of overall quality of life
It has honestly been a long time since I heard someone in the west suggest the chinese economy is struggling at all - i thought maybe something meaningful had happened in the last week or something that changed that picture
if you compare the Democrat and the Republican running in that race you’ll find
This is the fucking problem, right here.
People dont make “”““rational””“” choices when they’re driven toward frustration and desparation, and democrats marketing themselves as ‘not republicans’ in lieu of offering any significant change is a massive source of that desparation.
Birthright isnt a loophole.
If you want to abolish billionaires, you dont need to deal in xenophobic scaremongering to do it; but if you want to abolish birthright, you gotta play all the notes of xenophobia. The billionaire flair is just the lib-spin.
The WSJ publishing this story should tell you everything you need to know about its intent
Edit: otherwise they would be writing about how billionaires are exploiting inheritance
It’s already a bi-partisan consensus that China shouldn’t have billionaires
Fortunately for them, they can’t do anything about the billionaire problem - so instead they’ll focus on the xenophobia
If anything could convince libs of supporting the end of birthright, it’s the threat of hundreds of chinese babies being born to US citizenship.
Does anyone know what the ethical objections acrually were here?
I would have thought they would have specifically called out data falsification if that were the problem that resulted in the paper being pulled - otherwise it leaves the door open to misinterpretation
If I ever won the lottery I would dedicate my life to fucking with the business practices of cloud-connected appliance companies, data brokers, and DRM protected media companies.
Death to Samsung.
