the folklore of Taylor Swift - YouTube
youtube.com
For all my fellow #Swifties, I have a project on Taylor’s life & work. Before the #ErasTour, I began a slide deck for some family & friends who weren’t familiar with all the lore & Easter eggs. It’s evolved into “the folklore of Taylor Swift” 🫶🏻

Once again feeling REAL weird about the correspondence I had with Alan Dershowitz at 14 🙃
Dershowitz: The predecessor on your show described Epstein as a convicted pedophile. He pleaded guilty to one count of having sex for money with a 17-year-and-10-month-old person. That’s not a pedophile.

great analogy from the judge!
you can't steal from home depot when you're renovating your house,
or shoplift from the grocery store to make a meal.
can't even use someone's academic work without attribution.
or record a football game & charge ppl to watch it.
same rules should apply to ai.

Just thinking about the part in the silly YA fantasy series THE HUNGER GAMES when it turned out the president was part of an elite sex-trafficking ring of often underage survivors and the other powerful people from the Capitol all knew about it. Fantasy!! What an imaginative genre!

Hey so “underage girls” are…children. The word you’re looking for is children. They’re not like, women-in-waiting or women-lite or whatever. They’re children. I think some of you are very uncomfortable with what that means for you but it is still true.

I fully believe in the corporate death penalty and believe we would be a better world if OpenAI lost its corporate charter and was forcibly dissolved.
