Seems reasonable enough to me if you bought a ticket for a train which doesn't have assigned seating, which is pretty common. Just choose your seat as you board the same way you would with a bus.

That's bullshit. You're not absolved of all wrongdoing because you used a computer as a middle man.

Apple chose to implement AI for this purpose, they are responsible for all output.

They removed a comment essentially saying "I'm Canadian" as misinformation? Do Canadians not exist?

You're taking it too seriously. It's a humour comic, everything before the punchline is to set up the punchline.

Okay? If you want to "correct" people who didn't ask you go ahead, but all you're really doing is pointlessly derailing conversations. And if you cry about it when people call you out for being a dick that's more than a little pathetic.

"Correcting" someone in a casual setting when they clearly communicated their ideas in a way that was understood by the majority of the audience without issue is pedantry, or more specifically linguistic prescriptivism. If their meaning was unclear you'd ask what they meant to say, when you tell someone what they meant to say you obviously understood them and are just being pedantic.

You have stated multiple times that you have a vested interest in pushing the narrative that Funko isn't the bad guy but somehow I'm the one that's not arguing in good faith? Yeah, sure, whatever helps you sleep at night I guess.

Making a fraud claim to a DNS provider and hosting service is the nuclear option. Literally the only thing either of those providers can do is to effectively take the entire site down. They intentionally made a misleading fraud claim instead of a DMCA takedown notice so they could force it through quicker. And you've completely ignored the fact that they're relying on AI to identify these "offending" pages, and the fact that they threatened the owner's parent. The non-apology statement they made is just icing on the cake.

You disagreeing does not make it a bad analogy.

If you hire someone to do a job and the process of doing that job results in someone being killed then yes, you absolutely are to blame, but that's not what happened here. They didn't hire someone to protect themselves, they contracted an AI company to delete anything which could paint them in a bad light then made claims of fraud through nonstandard channels to force their way through red tape then threatened parents of their victim when they were called out.

If you hire a hitman you're still on the hook for murder. Making someone else do your dirty work does not absolve you. Especially when you're a corporation and literally everything you do is through people you pay.

Lucky you, you must have grown up very middle-class. The cops in the UK are just as shitty as they are elsewhere.

As a kid I was walking a friend home when some cunt came up behind us and attacked me, busted my nose open then ran away. The cops must have waited at least a week to follow up, by which time they couldn't do anything because I didn't have a good enough way to identify the attacker.

Some years later I'm delivering newspapers, there's one particular street where I always get harassed in some way. It escalates until one day I'm literally jumped by three fully grown adults, absolute scum attacking a kid on the street. I call the cops as soon as possible afterwards and they actually show up, but as I'm sitting crying in the back of their car they strongly encourage me to drop it, some excuse about how they'll all deny it so it's not worth investigating. I'm young and naive so I listen to them, but I've regretted that ever since.

Yes, in a way. My understanding is that in the US instead of giving less fortunate people the money to buy what they need they get given tokens which can only be used for specific types of items. Obviously it'd be a lot cheaper to skip that extra admin cost and give the money directly instead of maintaining an entirely separate type of currency, but you can't trust those filthy poors to know what they need. And hygiene products are one thing they don't need, apparently.

Ah, you're right. I think I see what happened there, I hit those links from a sidebar in a community with href="[email protected]"which breaks if you're on a post page instead of the community page. Easily fixed though, I'll ping the mods of that community.
