CHEESE UPDATE:
Limburg is fantastic to melt onto a baked potato.
Most cheeses either don't melt enough or become too runny, limburg seems to be in the sweet spot.
You must mash it with salt first.
Also pre melting it helps to spread better.
Sodium Citrate/Phosphate is the industry standard for emulsifying any cheese for melting.

You really can't do worse than google and youtube.

I saw a good comment under Steve from Gamer's Nexus's UNHINGED RANT about Youtube getting worse (link
Oh, they don't want to block the butt-bots because those increase engagement to the extent that it makes internal metrics better (so a VP gets his bonus) or simply that the activity around the butt-bots is a signal of video quality (e.g., if people care enough to click report it means the video is better). It is patently obvious now that the problem is not that Google doesn't care, but they want the butt-bots.
 
@Null New DMCA news! This time in the obscure world of GIS (Geographic Information Systems) software. Arc GIS is the premier software used to manage and analyze geospatial information for a myriad of applications. S2 Underground is a OSINT rightwing Larper that runs a hobbyist radio group and likes to present himself as a *serious* INFOSEC and GEOPOLITICS analyst. What's relevant here is that he's been using this map making software to track illegal immigrant crossings and incidents by scraping public databases as well as marking the premises of every illegal immigrant activist NGOs in the US.

The maps he made to track these in real time are hosted by the ESRI (the corporation that manages the Arc GIS software) via cloud. These maps are available to the public for download from them. The NGOs have now used the DMCA to force the ESRI to close the hosting of their scraped data in his maps.
S2 Underground, an OSINT larper who runs a hobbyist ham radio group has had his Arc Pro GIS tracking illegal immigration activist NGOs and illegal alien sightings DMCA'd by the ESRI for the data he includes in his map layers.

Correlation is not a causation. The kids who troon are always isolated and infantilized, which naturally would enforce obsession with shallow, disposable escapism which anime can be. Additionally, we’ve hit a point where there really are few alternatives for young people for the niche anime fills other than anime: everything made in the west is boring and lame and these kids know it.

But really your drive is less concern over the lives of kids but a reactive push to get media you don’t agree with removed from society. It’s the kind of stuff you saw from Mary Whitehouse or Tipper Gore or, relevantly to this site, troons themselves.
I’d argue that the larger issue is that the Internet lets people fall into holes that they’ll get dragged deeper into. 764 and pedophiles will drag impressionable children into them. Trannies and LGBT people will do the same. Even if they aren’t aggressively forcing them in it’ll get them in a place where rather than losing interest in a destructive topic, it’ll be what they love for.

Anime, vidya, and whatever are just the tool instead of a van with candy. Does the subject matters and shit help? Yes. Kids really should not have access to a lot of YouTube videos, short form videos, anime, and what not.

Trial Court Decides Case Based On AI-Hallucinated Caselaw​

Appellate court to trial judge: you know these cases are made up, right?

Every time a lawyer cites a fake case spit out by generative AI, an angel gets its wings. When the lawyers in Mata v. Avianca infamously earned a rebuke for citing an AI-imagined alternate history of the Montreal Convention, many of us assumed the high-profile embarrassment would mark the end of fake cases working their way into filings. Instead, new cases crop up with alarming frequency, ensnaring everyone from Trump’s former fixer to Biglaw to — almost certainly — the DOJ. It seems no amount of public embarrassment can overcome laziness.

But so far, the system has stood up to these errors. Between opposing counsel and diligent judges, fake cases keep getting caught before they result in real mischief. That said, it was always only a matter of time before a poor litigant representing themselves fails to know enough to sniff out and flag Beavis v. Butthead and a busy or apathetic judge rubberstamps one side’s proposed order without probing the cites for verification. Hallucinations are all fun and games until they work their way into the orders.

It finally happened with a trial judge issuing an order based off fake cases (flagged by Rob Freund). While the appellate court put a stop to the matter, the fact that it got this far should terrify everyone.

Shahid v. Esaam, out of the Georgia Court of Appeals, involved a final judgment and decree of divorce served by publication. When the wife objected to the judgment based on improper service, the husband’s brief included two fake cases. The trial judge accepted the husband’s argument, issuing an order based in part on the fake cases. On appeal, the husband did not respond to the fake case claim, but….

Undeterred by Wife’s argument that the order (which appears to have been prepared by Husband’s attorney, Diana Lynch) is “void on its face” because it relies on two non-existent cases, Husband cites to 11 additional cites in response that are either hallucinated or have nothing to do with the propositions for which they are cited. Appellee’s Brief further adds insult to injury by requesting “Attorney’s Fees on Appeal” and supports this “request” with one of the new hallucinated cases.

They cited MORE fake cases to defend their first set of fake cases. Epic. A perpetual motion machine of bullshit, if you will. Seeking attorney’s fees based on a fake case was a nice touch. Probably should’ve thought of that at the trial court level, it probably would’ve worked.

The appellate court could not make the factual leap to blame AI for the fake cases, but laid out its theory of the case:

As noted above, the irregularities in these filings suggest that they were drafted using generative AI. In his 2023 Year-End Report on the Federal Judiciary, Chief Justice John Roberts warned that “any use of AI requires caution and humility.” Roberts specifically noted that commonly used AI applications can be prone to “hallucinations,” which caused lawyers using those programs to submit briefs with cites to non-existent cases.

Well, there you go! Someone finally found a use for the Chief Justice’s infamous typewriter report. Now it almost seems like a useful expenditure of official resources instead of a cynical opportunity to dodge addressing that his proposed solution to the Court’s deepening ethical cesspool is… JAZZ HANDS!

But there’s a critical line between submitting fake cases and judges acting on fake cases. The urgency the courts feel for stamping out fake citations stems in part from the “there but for the grace of my clerks go I” fear that the judge might bless a fake argument. Now that this has happened to a trial judge out there, the high-profile embarrassment should mark the end of fake cases working their way into orders.

Where have I heard something like that before? *Re-reads first paragraph.*

We’re screwed.

In a court of law you can just say things and they'll be true. Null knows this better than most.

Kinda surprised certain lolsuits haven't featured AI written filings yet.
