    Garbage hype. You don't need AI to recognize when a user is streaming from 2 different locations at near the same time. You need an algorithm. A very simple algorithm.

    Algorithmic Information.

    Tada! Now we get to use the whiz-bang "AI" in our headline!

  13. Owing money for a service is not being in debt

    Wrong.

    Debt:

    A sum of money that is owed or due to be paid because of an express agreement; a specified sum of money that one person is obligated to pay and that another has the legal right to collect or receive.

    A fixed and certain obligation to pay money or some other valuable thing or things, either in the present or in the future. In a still more general sense, that which is due from one person to another, whether money, goods, or services.

    In a broad sense, any duty to respond to another in money, labor, or service; it may even mean a moral or honorary obligation, unenforceable by legal action. Also, sometimes an aggregate of separate debts, or the total sum of the existing claims against a person or company. Thus we speak of the "national debt," the "bonded debt" of a corporation, and so on.

    I don't think its a bad business move, really. Their Twitter feed is full of clips. The only difference in this case is they simply neglected to credit the creator as they do in all their other tweets.

    Much ado another nothing as far as I can see.

  16. Re:It's not bullshit...it's business... on Mark Zuckerberg on Facebook's 2018: We've Changed, We Promise (cnet.com) · · Score: 3, Insightful

    Your rant completely fails to take into account the fact that Facebook was (is?) generating shadow profiles of non-Facebook users across the internet. I (and many, many others) never signed up for Facebook and never asked for any of their "creativity" to be bestowed upon me for free.

    So you can get something for nothing. Well, in this particular arrangement, I suppose Facebook can at least.
