Today a consortium the company I work for is part of we prepared a meeting on Monday where we'll defend a grant application. When it came to who was gonna present or answer questions people were very protective of me and two other people because "you are still so young, we don't want to overwhelm you".
I am 44 years old.

For the #BelieveInFilm crowd: «The Lost Art of the Negative» on folks’ not picking up their negatives and the copyright questions arising around it.
The copyright question I don't find too interesting. But, it baffles me that people today would go through all the rigmarole of analog photography to then effectively throw out the negatives!

Every now and then I see Copilot replies include garbage prompts I never entered (see the underlined part on Line 1), and then garbage Copilot's response to that. I typically ignore them because I'm like "hallucination".
But I just saw something that is a whole new level: a garbage prompt and response bleeding from someone else's session (see last three lines). Looks an actual prompt from another user and Copilot's inner monolog to respond. 🥺
I've seen this lots. Niantic doesn't like guerrilla clients for their games, the car companies hate independent clients to query car status and do remote control, etc etc. It’s super-interesting because there are no really effective technical ways to stop this kind of thing, so there are very interesting legal questions, both of to-be-established case-law and enforceability.

Turns out English has specific rules about adjective order, something I only found out about after some 50 years of learning English. But it's a bit ambiguous even for native speakers like me.
In this case I think "celebrity" is an observation and "gay" is most like origin, so "celebrity gay dads" would be the rule. But both sound right to me, maybe because "gay" is also a kind of observation or "celebrity" is a qualifier.
