Why would you give a machine money?

To be clear, you’d give the company that owns the machine money.

Just use the generation tools yourself and then you have the copyright.

Except that it sounds like no, you wouldn’t by this court case, right?

it’s just worthless AI slop.

I agree. :)

I’m following 42 hashtags, a bunch of science, teaching, and programming stuff, mostly (I’m a CS instructor). But also things like #trains. :) And the state and city I live in.

I want to throw in a second good word for hashtags. I follow a tiny handful of people, almost entirely personal friends. But I follow a lot of hashtags. Because it typically is the content that I’m after as opposed to a particular person. If my favorite poster of weather information decides to post something about accounting, I don’t really want to see that. Also following a hashtag gets you a lot more exposure to like-minded people than you would if you were trying to follow them all individually, and you see a lot more posts about things you enjoy.

You gonna delete the equal time rule, too? Didn’t think so.

Tricky case. You can pay someone to make a custom work you hold the copyright on. But you can’t pay for a machine to do it if you want the copyright.

I have zero evidence Musk ordered the Tesla vandalism. Which, coincidentally, is exactly how surprised I’d be to find out he had.

They’re working hard to make sure piracy provides the best experience.

The article and paper seem to be aimed at the set of people who hate pronouns intersected with the set of people who believe in anthropogenic climate change.
