Companies *need* to be liable for everything their "AI" outputs

I really loved the case when AI chatbot of an airline hallucinated nonexistent discount and the court ruled that the airline has to give that discount to the customer

Suddenly, the chatbot disappeared from their website 🙃

there's three types of nix lesbians:

- nix crimes (derogatory (ironic))
- nix crimes (derogatory (unironic))
- nix crimes (extremely derogatory (extremely unironic))

"Sometimes people use “respect” to mean “treating someone like a person” and sometimes they use “respect” to mean “treating someone like an authority”

and sometimes people who are used to being treated like an authority say “if you won’t respect me I won’t respect you” and they mean “if you won’t treat me like an authority I won’t treat you like a person”

and they think they’re being fair but they aren’t, and it’s not okay."

The mice have built a giant canon on the moon that shoots cheese back at earth because it's way more efficient than hauling it on ships. Solar power is used to power it, but they still need to send up materials and staff for maintenance. They reused the gulf of Mexico as an impact crater. Florida was permanently sunk into the ocean when the canon misfired and hit the peninsula with 60 teratonnes of pure cheddar. The shrinking moon is fucking with the ocean tides. Environmental activists call for ceasing the mining of the moon cheese, but the world's governments are in the pocket of Big Cheese.

So if an employee comes to work under the influence of hallucinogens it's "unprofessional" and "a felony" but when the AI used to replace said employee starts hallucinating random nonsense it's "just a quirk of the technology"??

Boost if you cook like a video game where you just smash some ingredients together and see what happens.

humans are so funny. we invented digital audio, and we thought we'd finally banished that analogue demon, generation loss. but then we invented digital distribution, and since bandwidth and disk space are expensive, we invented a new kind of generation loss, and we suffer again
