Exactly. The reason why there's so much heat on this particular incident is simply because there's zero grey area. Like, in general the blowing up "drug boats" stuff is almost certainly a war crime, but it at least falls within the "Lawyers can argue it in court" realms. Whereas killing survivors of a sunken ship is literally the textbook definition of a warcrime in the US military's own manual on this stuff. It is so cut and dried that they use it as an example of a de facto illegal act.

I can't speak to lactose free, but they're the only place I buy cheese now. Super helpful and friendly, and their selection is amazing.
It's the exact example given in DOD guidebooks of a clearly and unquestionably unlawful order.
There is no expectation that Putin will ever stand trial for his crimes. That's not the point. The point is that he should not be allowed to have those crimes swept under the rug. Putin should be a global pariah, like Netanyahu; a man who has to fear setting foot outside his own country because of the very real danger that he could be arrested.
Just because we can't punish him, doesn't mean we have to forgive him.
I seriously doubt that any of the decision makers involved in this process actually watch anime.
Anyone in management who cared probably didn't have enough pull / authority to do a damn thing about it.

Internal review also takes time and expertise. Those things cost money, and the whole point of the exercise is to not spend money.

No one uses generative AI because they actually care about the quality of the end product.
But even allowing for those points, it's entirely possible that they did, in fact, do quality review. Extensively. But at some point the generation costs exceeded their allowed budget and this is what they settled on. This is the thing that lurks behind bad quality AI art; the fact that what we see is often the best result out of many, many tries. The Coca Cola holiday ad had to be stitched together from hours upon hours of failed attempts. Even the horrendously bad looking end product wasn't as bad as many of the failed outputs they got.
Yeah, those tests are super hard, only a big brain genius like Donald Trump can figure out questions like... *checks notes*... "Where are you and what day is it?"
OK. How does it wash your ass?
Just seems like a lot of downside for a $350,000 device that can barely do the job of a shower.
"The user lies down..."
How does it wash your back?
I'm not surprised it's being attacked. Conservatives and neoliberals alike are terrified of how successful a model it is. We should be doing Sasktel style companies nationwide, for everything where simply nationalizing it doesn't make more sense. It's proof that there are ways of keeping consumer prices down without getting into the politically fraught territory of price controls. We should all be pushing for more of Sasktel, everywhere.
Man, the Canadian indie scene was crazy in the early to mid 2000s:
- Arcade Fire
- Broken Social Scene
- Of Montreal
- Metric
- Stars
- Feist
- Godspeed You, Black Emperor!
- Wolf Parade
- Death From Above 1979
- Neko Case
- Destroyer
Just absolutely nuts what was happening up here for a while.
For more modern alt there's the Arkells of course, and July Talk are incredible. Anyone who hasn't checked them out absolutely needs to; imagine if Tom Waits and Metric formed a supergroup and then added just the crunchiest guitars you've ever heard.
