Big business always seems to UNDERpay workers on a large scale. Have they ever OVERpaid them? #NAB owes one worker 87 grand. #capitalism has so many faults.

I need Sabalenka to stop shrieking. A lot of players scream, shriek & grunt. It wasn't always so.
Sabalenka is one of the loudest & longest shriekers ever.
Martina Navratilova condemned such sonic attacks years ago. Martial artists use similar screams to discombobulate opponents.

If I upload a movie clip to YouTube, I get a copyright strike within hours.
If I burn a copy of an album for a friend, I'm a pirate.
But AI companies can feed millions of books, songs, articles, and photos into a model, and it's called "training."
The artists, writers, and photographers whose work went in weren't asked and weren't paid.
Courts are still sorting out whether that counts as fair use, and so far the rulings are mixed.
But watching it play out, I can't shake one question.
When an individual copies something, it's theft.
When a trillion-dollar company does it at scale, it's innovation.
Same material. Different size of bank account.
My current policy is
1 Avoid ratbags if possible
2 If you need to engage do so on your terms, at your convenience.
Look after you.
3 If it seems worthwhile respectfully tell them why they are pests.

With respect:
Politicians like to talk about "public service".
But politicians r well paid & resourced during & after their time in politics, whether they perform well or not. They r criticised if they make mistakes but they are rarely penalised financially @BarackObama #auspol
