I like how the article presents this as some super secret conspiracy when Mitt Romney and others made public statements openly admitting to this.

There are cases progressing through the courts. If the courts rule that copyright has been violated by the AIs under current laws then we won't need to create a new offense or expand IP laws currently on the books.

wtf are people actually buying

A unique work of art I guess since it's unlikely anyone would be able to replicate the prompt in order to get the same results.

When someone makes use of a service and doesn't pay afterwards that is considered to be theft even if the provider hasn't been deprived on anything. For example, if I snuck into an art gallery without paying I won't remove anything tangible since the gallery's overheads and running costs were fixed long before I arrived.

A better word would be copyright infringement if the AI is making use of other works without a license or other permission. Based on my reading of the article it appears those involved only fed the AI works in the public domain or works that they had created themselves. The letter of complaint appears to be signed by artists who are unaware of these circumstances.

Yeah party politics should be decided by who 'donates' the most money not by voters or party members. Pay up or shut up plebs!

In politics we call those groups factions and 'vocal minorities' form the base of support.

If you want to change policy in the USA then you need to either mobilise large numbers of people or large amounts of money and I'm surprised that the top comment is someone complaining about a political party being subject to democratic forces.

This is from Q4 when ad spending doubles in the run up to Christmas. Q1 would probably earn half as much.

Plus it was an election year so loads of money from campaign ads, too.

I don't understand why these back benchers troll the chamber with bills like this. There's all sorts of sensible regultaion that is actually achievable if he actually put the effort in. Either he doesn't believe that these things are harmful or he doesn't care about the harm they cause.

Good idea if you don't want publishers to send you any advanced copies of their games in the future, which is just as well since your review won't be relevant to anyone. At that point it's just a preview.

Britain was the first country to use concentration camps. The Nazis stole the idea from us.

Chinese people are much more nationalistic than their government is. If it were a democracy it would have invaded Taiwan long ago.

It's good to see people engaging in cultural exchange and learning about each other through the app. Rednote sounds like an interesting place; most online spaces are dominated by men with relatively few women.

They also developed a way of writing with roman characters (called pinyin) so they could type on computers and phones. Taiwan developed a different method and Japan uses its own alphabet .
