When you say “by themselves”, you mean one person would still write the scripts manually, and AI would replace the grunt-work animation teams that shows like the Simpsons and South Park employ in East Asia?

If the AT protocol allows public access to content, they can’t create a proprietary training set. But the content is available for anyone who wants to add it to a public training set.

• Support for slavery before the Civil War

• Carter’s airline deregulation

• Clinton’s welfare “reform” and NAFTA

• Obama’s finance sector bailout

• Biden blocking a national rail strike

Are you talking about someone who’s deliberately claiming to have experienced something they only read about, or someone who’s genuinely uncertain of their own memories?

Legally, yes. (But of course, the Supreme Court has turned interpreting the Constitution into a game of Calvinball.)

Is it part of the joke that the logo for “Global Tetrahedron” is actually a dodecahedron?

If nothing else, it’s diverting views and revenue from whatever genuine right-wing media they’d be watching otherwise.

I don’t know, but there are some common names that are actually obscure forms of classic theonyms, and the people using them may not even be aware of the connection—for instance, “Dennis” is a form of “Dionysus”. Would you count that or not?

You could set it to use your own DNS server, and have the server block anything not on a whitelist.

So… a business card?

Lapsang Souchong (smoked black tea).

Logically, yeah—it went from “all X are Y” to “no non-X are Y” (or equivalently, “all Y are X”).

When he won before, he was outside the Republican party establishment and just put his own unprepared cronies in charge.

Interesting approach—to detect fake news by simulating humans’ reaction to it rather than judging the content itself.

Has Trump declared victory yet?

I know which of you supports the Democratic Party and I will not help you survive the end of days.

If he ever decides the “end of days” is in progress, I think it would be safer for Democrats and Republicans not to be around him anyway.

Incendiary devices found at shipping hubs could be Moscow putting pressure on West not to support Ukraine

Yeah, that’s totally how countries react to terrorist attacks.

As many others are pointing out, cultural hegemony plays a major role—but I think there’s another factor at play as well:

Greek, Roman, and Norse mythology have been dead and fossilized for a thousand years and more, and in the meantime a long tradition grew up of mining them for allegory, with their prior religious significance stripped away. Most other world mythologies, on the other hand, still form part of active belief systems, or recently died out under colonial occupation and so carry postcolonial political overtones. So borrowing from them could be more problematical, whereas classical mythology has basically been left up for grabs by its former adherents.
