Disney is investing $1B in OpenAI, following Warner Music and UMG settlements with Suno/Udio.
Copyright-owning mega-corporations are slowly making their peace with generative AI.
Some big lawsuits (e.g., NYT) are still pending, but the emerging rulebook appears to be a toleration for training, and tightening control of outputs.

you know, if you eliminate the word "just" (in the sense of "only" or "merely" rather than the sense of "fair") from your writing, not only will you avoid sticking your foot in your mouth with unexamined assumptions, but you'll also differentiate yourself from gpt slop.

Jane is trying to use GarageBand to edit together some sounds and narration (not music). She’s frustrated by the play button not playing from the start. She has to manually drag the flathead or hit the rewind button a bunch of times every time she adjusts and wants to hear it. Anyone know if there’s a “play from start” option or a quick way to move play head to start? Would also be nice if play stopped when no more sounds rather than just playing silence indefinitely.

We are also very excited that @hailey.at@bsky.brid.gyhailey is part of our Technical Design Committee! The initial TDC was selected by ROOSTers, but we aim to hold elections in the future. Along with community feedback and ROOST staff priorities, the TDC will help advise on our projects and priorities.

Or, capitalists can attempt to consolidate their control of markets by cooperating with, or even merging with, their competitors.
And this is precisely what we see in the actual economy, alongside the explosive growth of the scam economy: corporate consolidation.
> “We collect data on the size distribution of all U.S. corporations for 100 years. We document that corporate concentration (e.g., asset share or sales share of top businesses) has increased persistently over the past century. Rising concentration was stronger in manufacturing and mining before the 1970s, and stronger in services, retail, and wholesale after the 1970s.”

It’s a trope among capitalist ideologues that rising capitalist wealth does not make the poor poorer; rather, capitalists are increasing the overall amount of wealth available to be owned, making everyone better off, or at least no *worse* off.
But that’s not really true, because as the wealthiest among us continue to expand their ownership, they don’t merely accumulate dollars in accounts or material luxuries, but rather ownership of the assets that allow people to be productive in the first place. As the rich get richer, they not only own more stuff, but also the capacity to make more wealth.
Consider that, in 2020, billionaires increased their wealth by $3.9 trillion (https://www.businessinsider.com/billionaires-made-39-trillion-during-the-pandemic-coronavirus-vaccines-2021-1) while the rest of us became $3.7 trillion poorer (https://www.businessinsider.com/workers-lost-37-trillion-in-earnings-during-the-pandemic-2021-1).
This isn’t just a case of a bunch of people buying a bunch of stuff from those billionaires. Instead, those billionaires exploited our desperation not to sell us anything but to buy up all our assets in a fire sale, taking even more control of our productive capacity.

I search for an editor plugin, and the first one I find... by @whitequark✧✦Catherine✦✧
I should probably just ask @whitequark✧✦Catherine✦✧ before searching for anything technology-related at this point.
Also just for context. I am reading papers with 7 million students in them; my wife, who is working on programming education, has a current project with more than a thousand students across multiple intro to programming courses. so "more than 500 students" is like, table stakes for these kinds of claims.
Listen. I really do care about this getting better, not yelling on social media.
If you are a tech person with influence and a platform and you struggle to think about the evidence about programming ability, or are trying to update your views on it, if you are struggling with this but can have compassionate and respectful conversation, you can email me. When my calendar allows I will set aside an hour to have a nonjudgmental coffee chat with you, as a psychologist colleague in this space.

Hey, fam. If you haven’t fed your sourdough starter in a while because [gestures at everything] reasons… I’m telling you it’s fine. This bish been languishing for months in the back of my fridge.
Take a minute to open the container. Unless you have pink streaks, active mold fuzz on top of the goo, or it smells like the Bog of Eternal Stench instead of just very sour dough… in the words of Granny Weatherwax, she “Aten’t Dead Yet.”
If you need some help perking up your carb-childe, holler and we’ll walk you through it.
If it’s dead-dead, throw the whole thing in the bin. You don’t need that kind of dead weight right now.
But if you’re ready to being home a new Bready Mercury or Breadgitte Bardough, I’ll bet someone near you has some discard looking for a new home.

Ok, the YouTube video of the recent 
@djangochatDjango Chat Podcast with Natalia Bidart on 6.0 is out.
Feel free to watch 30 seconds and give a thumbs up, if so inclined! Note, this episode is audio only. Most future episodes will also have video.
this is truly incredible: https://github.com/X11Libre/xserver/pull/1627/files
they are using system(3) inside a security-critical domain (the display server).
but yes, sure, my refusal of xlibre on security grounds is the problem
