Right on. People complained about the camera in my bathroom so I told them the same thing. If you’ve done nothing wrong you should have nothing to hide.

I treated my family’s copy of a copy of Spaceballs the same way. But Ghostbusters could easily have been my babysitter of choice if we’d owned it.
Narrowing the question to more recent times: The Death of Stalin because it made me laugh in the way Spaceballs used to.

Madeleine Clare Elish described AI as providing “moral crumple zones” (https://papers.ssrn.com/sol3/papers.cfm?abstract_id=2757236) where it can serve as a buffer of plausible deniability to deflect blame when it behaves irresponsibly. For the corporation defects in the LLM are a feature.

The punctuated green site from yesteryear had a special moderation carve-out for funny comments distinct from the insightful contributors to keep things on track and interesting. But the parent poster dignifies neither and is better deserving of an Onion headline IMHO.

>> I'm not a lawyer and it's hard to parse the above.

Yeah young children are pretty bad drivers, I can attest to that. Sometime around age 4 I swiped my dad’s car keys from the kitchen table (I recall I had to climb a chair to reach the top of the table). I think I wanted to mimic how adults operated cars.
Luckily, I didn’t make it far. When I finally got it into gear I crashed into the viaduct paralleling our house blocking the road until another motorist found me.
My parents didn’t spank us often but I sure caught hell for that stunt and my allowance was garnished for a very long time!

Or a “links” page. I haven’t seen that in a long while. No affiliate garbage or anything just a page linking to other sites that the webmaster liked or whatever. It’s hard to remember when that fell out of fashion but it did seem to add a personal touch as well.

Civilization 6 is available in the App Store for iPhone and iPad. However, on my 2017 10.5” iPad Pro I find it uncomfortable to play beyond a short stretch (15-20 minutes) because the UI obscures a good part of the map (even fully collapsed) and panning the board is not smooth because of the frame rate. My hand, wrist, and arm tire quickly from all the swiping and panning too.
