Cute, but we all know the only way these writers are going to get what they want is if they part ways from their current publishers and start a coöperative.

The latter part makes sense to me tbh. Machines should not allowed to compete with humans (in creative endeavours) because it is an intrinsically unfair competition that further erodes the rights of those humans who are more vulnerable, in the circumstance that is opposite to the intent of having machines around in the first place. They are supposed to do our beast-of-burden work, not make it so that our only pending value to be extracted by capitalism is beast-of-burden work.

What I’m not sure I buy is the idea that the “countless works” generated by AI actually compete with the original, in particular if they are non-infringing. Let’s say I take the work of an author to train an AI on their style. The author writes exclusively noir; I instruct the AI to generate college drama in the same style. Are the new works competing? The author won’t offer me a college drama in the first place.

Ahem.

• Photo / audio / video evidence.
• Eyewitness testimony

That the eyewitness was also recording does nothing to change veracity, those are still photo / audio / video and can thus be faked.

Huh. The things I miss out of these days!

I’m quite lost (disinterested) on MCU stuff as of late, what’s going on about Thor? Is there a game?

That’s a nice sentiment but no, it won’t work. If your family member rattles conspiranoia to your face, it means they already don’t care about you to enough a point to not only openly do that, but also they are probably unvaxxed and likely unmasked at the moment. Or every single time.

At that point, they don’t care for you. Period.

Just because a law exists, doesn’t make it good. Even getting good laws made these days in the first place often requires lobbying, under-the-table deals and such.

Or just look at ICE. Tell me exactly how are they not corrupt.

What’s corrupt about slavishly enforcing IP law for RIAA

You really typed that without even an ounce of self-awareness?

Arceus, if it only worked faster…

…You are asking people who… willfully choose to be idiots to… do science?

I mean, you do you, but at the point someone is willing to believe “the top scientists in the world are trying to get you killed” you might as well consider them lost, as they are ignoring elementary-level statistics.
