Plus the whole "they're open Nazis now, so I'm going to interact a bit less with them - but still wish them the best of luck" attitude. He's in a pretty lofty position to see ethics as strictly a matter of personal pollution.

Remember, the lawyer said they Facebook has a good legal argument, he just doesn’t like Zuck’s political views. The guy is a cookie-cutter typical university professor. He makes these:

There are accolades? But he hasn't done very much, and I hardly think that saying one will not buy through FB/ IG again is taking much of a stand. When I saw his posts I raised my eyebrows in bemusement, but I had no idea ppl are writing laudatory things about him.

have a look at his re-posts https://bsky.app/profile/marklemley.bsky.social

When I quote-posted it, I chose my wording deliberately to highlight the difference between what he did and others quitting everything, but I was too subtle for him because he reposted my post. I can veer betw being too subtle to all but those who know me, and sledgehammer.

Draw the line somewhere... further back. Back. Back there.

He literally has to say that part or face discipline from the bar though?! Whether true or not it’s not considered ethical to disparage a client or former client’s legal strategy.

How do you think fucker Berg would react if a drone slammed into Meta headquarters or into one of his mansions? Do you think maybe he would be terrified enough to give up his obscene wealth?

Anyway, he "fired Meta" a few days after this very significant shift in the case, which seems to have changed Meta's chance of a win pretty significantly

God, the left, with their "don't actively assist the world's largest companies in stealing work to feed their environmentally catastrophic lie production engines" purity tests

I agree in a general sense that the left has a serious purity problem.
But expecting would be allies to stand with, or at least not actively against, creatives on the issue of gen AI shouldn't be asking much.

“If only the left would be willing to support genocide and global climate destruction, they would achieve so much more!” 🙃

ketanjoshi.co•63 days ago

and just....wow, he's deleted.......one specific Meta application. So brave

fifisch.bsky.social•63 days ago

You don't need to praise the guy. You can just be happy that this is bad for Meta. Because it is.
