AI industry groups are urging an appeals court to block what they say is the largest copyright class action ever certified. They’ve warned that a single lawsuit raised by three authors over Anthropic’s AI training now threatens to “financially ruin” the entire AI industry if up to 7 million claimants end up joining the litigation and forcing a settlement.

to me, correctly using 5+ commas in a single sentence is like perfectly executing a combo in a fighting game. to me.

und denkt dran: man kann leute auch reporten und ich finde, bei dem user ist es gerechtfertigt.

Kleines unerfreuliches OOC-Update

Wir (heißt, die Personen hinter diesem Account, sowie der Großteil der anderen TBT-Leute), wollen uns an dieser Stelle einmal kurz klar von einem gewissen anderen Parodie-Account distanzieren, der in den letzten Tagen sehr negativ aufgefallen ist. Tumblr Bundestag ist Satire und darf auch gerne mal fies sein, aber bestimmte Grenzen müssen dabei gewahrt werden. Morddrohungen oder Suicide-Baiting, alles unter dem Namen eines Terroristen, und auf einem Account, der nicht klar als Satire gekennzeichnet ist, sind ein absolutes No-Go und werden von uns entschieden abgelehnt. Seid halt keine Arschlöcher.

Wer auch einen TBT Blog hat und den Namen von besagtem Blog gern haben möchte, um diesen zu blocken, schreibt uns bitte einen Ask mit dem eigenen Blognamen (DMs gehen nicht, weil das hier ein Gruppenblog ist) und wir melden uns dann von einem unserer anderen Accounts.

no one will come to save you but some will offer you their hand to hold when life gets tough and those are the ppl that matter

i don’t know about you guys but the main reason i am still on tumblr in 2024 is BECAUSE it is the most cloutless least influential social media app out there and that is the experience i am after. absolutely none of this will ever translate into significant attention or real success in my life and that is so beautiful.

Gerade herausgefunden, dass "GG" in Online-Spiele-Lobbys nicht für "Grundgesetz" steht. Meine Enttäuschung ist grenzenlos und mein Tag ist ruiniert.

reminders i need to like, tattoo on my brain:

1. if you feel judged and hurt by others, try sleeping

2. if you feel judgmental and resentful of others, try eating (the classics)

3. if you feel uncomfortable, try showering

4. if you feel directionless and afraid, go sit outside for a bit and maybe then you'll calm down. maybe even a walk if youre feelin crazy

5. take it easy, but by god, take it

The filter relies on manually curated open-source blocklists, including the ‘nuclear’ list, provided by uBlockOrigin and uBlacklist Huge AI Blocklist,” DuckDuckGo said in a post on X. “While it won’t catch 100% of AI-generated results, it will greatly reduce the number of AI-generated images you see.

Left: AI filter is off Right: AI filter is on

daily fucking reminder that you are allowed to want attention and that does not make you a bad person.

in case no one’s told you in a while. you are valid.

Are you currently looking forward to something?

I've said it before and i'll say it again: THAT IS NOT A FUCKING METAPHOR, JOHN GREEN

Something I find incredibly cool is that they’ve found neandertal bone tools made from polished rib bones, and they couldn’t figure out what they were for for the life of them. 

Until, of course, they showed it to a traditional leatherworker and she took one look at it and said “Oh yeah sure that’s a leather burnisher, you use it to close the pores of leather and work oil into the hide to make it waterproof. Mine looks just the same.” 

“Wait you’re still using the exact same fucking thing 50,000 years later???”

“Well, yeah. We’ve tried other things. Metal scratches up and damages the hide. Wood splinters and wears out. Bone lasts forever and gives the best polish. There are new, cheaper plastic ones, but they crack and break after a couple years. A bone polisher is nearly indestructible, and only gets better with age. The more you use a bone polisher the better it works.”

It’s just. 

50,000 years. 50,000. And over that huge arc of time, we’ve been quietly using the exact same thing, unchanged, because we simply haven’t found anything better to do the job.
