The distinction between a real person selecting works and an algorithm is significant in that the algorithm doesn't necessarily do so as a means of curating messages. An algorithm may just favor watch time, while a person choosing what to publish in a newspaper is making a cognitive choice regarding the message they want to send to their readers.
Someone decides what the algorithm is meant to do. It's not like it's wholly independent of human interaction. Just because you hide yourself behind layers of technology doesn't mean you're no longer liable for your decisions.
The automaker expects its net income for the year will be between $10.1 billion and $11.5 billion, above its previous guidance of $9.8 billion to $11.2 billion. GM's first-quarter 2024 net income was up from last year's $2.4 billion
So somewhere around the 1% of their annual profit, not even pocket change. In other words - they've not been given a fine, but rather a pass to continue doing whatever the fuck they want at a nice low cost.
The owner died as a result of the illegal raid. Hope that's just the tip of the iceberg. Seems the pocketbook is the only thing that will ever change public perception of the good 'ol boys club.
I will read the arguments in SCOTUS decisions from time to time, and the naked partizanship is real. When the courts were more balanced they had to couch their bias with more legally sound arguments.
FBI testing heavily damaged the firearm before Baldwin’s team was able to examine it for any potential modifications, and authorities failed to photograph the individual elements of the firearm beforehand, the defense had argued.
Looks like he's still sticking to his "the gun just fired by itself" defence. Which is both sad and confusing as he pulled it out on set with the intention to pull the trigger for the scene. Whether it went off on its own is moot as even if it didn't, he would still moments later have pulled the trigger. It's not like the gun flew out of hits holster and shot Hutchins.
The FBI and an independent firearms expert found the gun functioned normally and would not fire without the trigger depressed, but Baldwin’s defense team has argued that the firearm was prone to malfunctioning.
So you admittedly used a known, malfunctioning gun? How is that better or even exonerates him in this case? I guess based on his history with finance, he got one of those bargain basement lawyers to build his defence.
The entire set was a gong show and this is what happens when you don't follow the proper safety rules and bring in a bunch of unqualified people because you stiffed the former crew for pay. Sad that an innocent person had to die.

It wasn't even an actual scene being filmed, It was blocking (working out the details of an actor’s moves in relation to the camera) where non-functioning props like cardboard are usually used. The scene script in question also didn't even have him pointing the gun. He was supposed to only draw the gun out partially.
Why does this have an AI generated picture of chocolate chip cookies instead of ANYTHING related to the actual article? A company logo, a dutch flag, a court symbol, a fucking computer, literally anything else.
I don't mind the concept of automatic plate readers; but that data should not be retained. (specifically; images that don't match the hot list, should be immediately discarded)
Taking the photos isn't an issue, it's aggregating that info into a long-term searchable database of people's movements that's the problem.
That information will be released/abused; either by leaks/insiders or via systems breach.
