Honestly, ever since this execution, I've been against any death penalty. There have been way too many innocent people killed from the death penalty.

Not to mention the numerous issues and the moral quandry of legal murder as a state sanctioned form of punishment.

At the end of the day, what's the ultimate goal of murdering someone on death row? An example for deterrence? Apparently it's not effective any more than a life sentence and you don't have the risk of killing someone who was innocent.

You're right, they aren't perfect but they are better than meat in most cases. If a plants based meat alternative is what it takes for someone to reduce or stop their meat intake then that's a moral improvement in my book.

Unfortunately you should secure your home network with a managed firewall to be sure that any IOT devices don't phone home. It sucks but that's the only way I would recommend using a device you don't fully trust.

The article isn't about the new animation but about how the old clip has resurfaced and is retreading its origin and how it relates to recent events.

Now coming back to Miyazaki’s thoughts on AI, a widely shared video from 2016 shows the legendary animator reacting with disgust to an AI-generated animation demo.

The animation in the clip reminded him about his friend's disability and how the creators of the animation didn't regard ableism while making it. Later in the clip, one of the creators had expressed that they would like to create a machine that could "draw pictures as humans do" and Miyazaki was depicted as displeased after this statement.

The article doesn't go into if there were any comments from Miyazaki on the Ghibli-style image.

That's because they've never been held accountable by anyone but other rich people. It really seems like they're trying to form a caste system so only those in their cabal are the ruling class.

Wow, what a joke of a human being.

Until you're left with choosing between an abandoned open source version and an up to date closed source blob.
