Madison was saying that blacks in the south were enslaved and couldn’t vote. They made up a significant portion of the southern states population which put them at a disadvantage giving them poor representation.

My point exactly. They originated as a open initiative to make AI open and accessible to everyone. Hence their name. Greed made them change their stance and now they are only open in name.

Trolls will be trolls. There are millions of foss projects that function as community efforts and thrive. As another example, have you ever used Wikipedia?

Maybe if OpenAI didn’t suddenly decide not to be open when they got in bed with Micro$oft, they could just make it a community effort. I own a copyrighted work that the AI hasn’t been feed yet, so I loan it as training and you do the same. They could have made it an open initiative. Missed opportunity from a greedy company. Push the boundaries of technology, and we can all reap the rewards.

Fair enough, but I would compare someone who owns a fat lazy cat to rollin coal assholes.

How are cats bad for the environment? Sorry, first time I’ve ever heard someone claim this.

Anyone have a suggestion for a alternative simple light weight podcast app for android?

Edit: I installed antennapod and it’s exactly what I was looking for. Very light weight and even open source. Thank you for all the suggestions.

Those are trained athletes. These are drunk red necks.

I tried a quick Google for some statistics and didn’t dig deep. One of the first results shows 90 deaths in Australia from a single punch in a 2 year span. https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/36878145/
