    I just meant that it last a lot longer than the few months it was a real problem. Like, I feel like we all talked about it for years and it affected their business.

    I somehow expect that won’t happen here considering how popular McD is worldwide, that’s all I mean.

    This is a double-whammy PR nightmare.

    Are we going to do what happened with Jack in the Box in the naughts and start associating E Coli with McDonalds? I remember hearing that FUD so much back then and now that the shoe is on the other foot, I wonder what will happen. 🤔 Not to engage in the fast food wars or anything, but also fuck McDonalds for helping this fat ass at all.



  • Calling the Scarlett Johansson lawsuit “Manufactured Drama” is certainly a take. A bad one, that is.

    Just like the lifting of a famous actress voice, one has to wonder how much LLMs are siphoning the intellectual property of the little-people of the open source world and willfully tossing the license and attribution clauses down the toilet. If they were willing to do it to a multi-million dollar actress, what makes people think that the intellectual property theft doesn’t go much further?

    Anyway, I think for this reason it’s actually really important to note that Junior Devs are much less likely to cause this type of issue for large companies. The question is whether the lawsuits from improper licensing cost more to settle than it costs to hire Junior devs, which brings us roughly to where the international outsourcing phenomenon brought us. At least, IMO.
