Hahaha, what a story, Mark! Anyway, how's your sex life?

[–] pyre@lemmy.world 2 points 5 days ago

"define 'sex'. no, wait... define 'life'."

Well, someone at facebook needs to come collect their jerk-off trophy.

[–] phutatorius@lemmy.zip 5 points 6 days ago

Zuck, you dirty wanker.

Why do you think Facebook exists?

Where did they get the idea that that's a more respectable response?

EDIT: Doesn't/shouldn't work for their liability either. Vocabulary fail on my part.

Dignity doesn't matter if it wins the case.

Zuck’s Fuck and Suck sounds like his product’s effects on society.

Did anyone check on the Meta engineers in the goon cave?

[–] stevedice@sh.itjust.works 2 points 5 days ago* (last edited 5 days ago)

You're joking but it was 2400 movies over 7 years downloaded individually and not in bulk like they blatantly did with books. Apparently over 60% of adults admit to have viewed porn at work so yeah... someone should probably check on the engineers in the goon cave.

[–] NateNate60@lemmy.world 39 points 1 week ago* (last edited 1 week ago) (2 children)

I would not be surprised if Meta advertised such a thing to prospective employees as a legitimate benefit of the job. A built-in VR goon cave with 30 TB of material available. Limit 1 hour per person, bookings required 6 months in advance. Sessions subject to monitoring for security and training purposes. May contain trace amounts of Zuck.

"hey steve, did you download a shitton of porn while on the company network?"
"Uuuhhhhh, it's for ai training"

[–] RedFrank24@lemmy.world 60 points 1 week ago (3 children)

Torrent the Dark Knight to watch at home along and the media companies will sue you for infinity billion dollars. Openly torrent every movie known to man to train an AI and the media companies don't do shit.

[–] manuallybreathing@lemmy.ml 9 points 6 days ago (3 children)

Steal 1 movie, you're a murderer, steal 1million, you're a conquerer, steal 'em all? You're a goooooooood~

this comment is oc, DO NOT steal

[–] Akanes@startrek.website 19 points 6 days ago

Too late, but it's ok, i'll only keep it for personal use

[–] markz@suppo.fi 3 points 6 days ago* (last edited 6 days ago) (1 children)

You wouldn't steal a car.

You wouldn't right click and save an NFT.

Piracy. It's a crime.

Much appreciated. Thank you

Ah, so the anti pirate lobby still pirated the composers music. Just not for the famous ad.

[–] ulterno@programming.dev 0 points 6 days ago

That doesn't work unless you also "steal" all the media companies' money so now they don't have any to pay the lawyers.

[–] Blackmist@feddit.uk 0 points 6 days ago

It's not a personal Jellyfin server, it's training material for a possible future AGI. It's going to know a lot about terrible horror movies.

Humanity is fucked letting these companies exist.

[–] phoenixz@lemmy.ca 34 points 1 week ago

An even more “glaring” defect, Meta argued, is that Meta’s terms prohibit generating adult content, “contradicting the premise that such materials might even be useful for Meta’s AI training.”

Oh yes, this is true because meta, or any other company for that matter, has never ever in the history of ever changed its terms of service...

[–] Lodespawn@aussie.zone 32 points 1 week ago

I can only assume the MPAA will funnel vast sums of money into helping prosecute these thieves? Any minute now right?
