How does one steal Funko Pop’s IP? Create an ugly figure with a giant head and no face? Is that so common that they need an AI system to watch for IP infringement?

If a company wanted to get into the figure business, maybe they could just make figures that look good, and thus avoid infringing Funko Pop’s style.

You literally just need to go into the discussion boards for trending games or check out the curation pages for groups like “DEI watch.”

I just spent 10 minutes doing both of these things and didn’t see any questionable content.

I did see gamers saying things like “this game sucks”, but nothing worse.

At this point I think you should provide a link to an example.

Throttling everyone equally during times of congestion is also fair in its own way. I’d be okay with that.

When limiting is required, because many people are using the same network, limiting those who have already used the most seems fair.

Your comment might cause me to do something. You’re responsible. I don’t care what the legal definitions say.

If we don’t care about legal definitions, then how do we know you didn’t cause all this?

Epic vs Google turned out a lot different than Epic vs Apple.

Also, Epic vs Google was decided by jury.

The rumored 4th and 5th games…

We’re seeing more and more that our “free market” with its “competition” doesn’t provide goods and services that most people want, which makes me wonder, why have free markets and competition?

There’s also websites hosted in countries that don’t care about US law. We can access those even without a VPN, for now…

Senior developer here, it looks like they are helping to me.

Careful, the 100,000 kg of pizza will turn into manure.

Programmer pay is so bizarre, it makes me cynical about our entire economy.

If I’m a blue-collar worker maintaining the wires between banks, I get paid little. If I’m a programmer maintaining the banking software that controls everyone’s money and is essential to the entire nation, I’m paid a little more, but not as much as some programmers.

If I’m a young man who creates a webpage that barely works venture capitalists are tripping over themselves trying to shove millions of dollars into my hands.

(Although, creating a webpage was the hot thing last decade, now the hot thing is creating an AI.)

We should measure size of files/storage as a function of how many standardized png’s of an american flag would fit in the same amount of space.

Fixed it, I will not be oppressed by your standards

To become a real programmer, you must install Copilot and let it copy and paste for you.

Why doesn’t JavaScript have tracebacks?

I think the joke is that the Jr. Developer sits there looking at the screen, a picture of a cat appears, and the Jr. Developer types “cat” on the keyboard then presses enter. Boom, AI in action!

The truth behind the joke is that many companies selling “AI” have lots of humans doing tasks like this behind the scene. “AI” is more likely to get VC money though, so it’s “AI”, I promise.

I feel like such a fool
