@c00p @greyknight33 @realcaseyrollins The entire reason "elderly homes" existence is due to the breakup of extended families.

I hate the government.

"To complete this process, call this number to schedule an appointment"

ok, I call, "You don't need an appointment, just drop off the paperwork."

But the webpage says I need to make an appointment, are you sure this is correct?

"Uh yeah, just drop it off."

Well that's a huge problem because if I'm not having an appointment I need the documents notarized, I think. But they don't know, of course. It's only their job to know.

So then I drop off the documents, then I call back for no reason at all, wait on hold for half an hour, then I guess I make an appointment then.

What a fucking mess, their own webpage is apparently wrong.

Hab oft Menschen bei mir im Coaching, denen empfohlen wurde ihren Stress zu reduzieren und bereits nach 20 min. denke ich mir: „naja gut, bevor wir Entspannungsübungen machen, sollten wir vielleicht erstmal n paar von den Problemen lösen..“
Viele stecken in unmöglichen Rollen im System und dann kriegen sie widergespiegelt es läge an ihnen, dass sie sich damit schlecht fühlen und wir sind das so gewohnt, dass wir das alles abnicken. Schon die Schulen schaffen es ja, allen schlechten

Occam's Razor

Some years ago, i bought a 'lifetime membership' to some media editing software. It was a new company, relatively unknown, and was therefore offering the lifetime membership for $15.

I opened it up recently, which i rarely do now, and noticed that it is offering A.I. image generation.
I started screwing around with it, and as I did, I noticed a strange repeating artifact in some of the images. Odd lines that seemed out of place.
I figured out that is was the A.I. simulating all of the artists signatures which has been present in all of the scraped art used to train it. There was another strange warping artifact sometimes in the corners, and I realized that was the A.I. replicating the natural warping of a page in a book. Which means it was also trained on scanned images from art books.

I determined something from all of this...
Corporate resale A.I. services are based in Piracy.
Piracy as defined by them. The unautorized use of their images or software, is what they call piracy.
And yet, the entire foundation of their new goldrush product is built on Piracy. By their own standards, they stole all of the data they are using.

So I am going to predict that in the not too distant future, some sort of landmark lawsuit will happen which determines if these large corporations have any right to claim their data is proprietary, as it was built by them scraping text, images, video, code, and data, from us, without our permission. And therefore, belongs to everyone.
