Plastic packaging disposal is super easy for me.

My area has a waste to energy facility (an incinerator) that burns all of our trash. Our recycling goes through a single-sort facility, then all paper and plastic from that stream gets burned in the incinerator too.

At this point, I think of my plastic waste as natural gas that had been borrowed temporarily from the local power plant.

We have Rock solid evidence that approximately 7 million Americans got denied the right to vote using common voter suppression tactics last election.

I LOLd. What you have is rock solid evidence of 7 million fraudulent votes in 2020 when all 50 state election systems were in chaos.

Nvidia is therefore a bubble. This article is complaining that Europe is an obstacle to further bubble inflation.
No amount of Nvidia etching IP onto wafers is worthy of a 4.6 TRILLION market cap - bigger than the 4.2 Trillion market cap of the ENTIRE name-brand pharmaceutical industry.

Comment Who owns a virtual being? (Score 1) 99

A more interesting question I think is, does anyone own this AI actress?

That is to say - if a company took her likeness, and used other AI to make porn - could "her" agent sue them?

Or in other words, is a purely AI generated likeness even copyrightable, when technically no human made it?

People are slowly waking up to the truth that this was never about labor costs. The Chinese government deliberately built up their industrial capacity because production becomes power over time. They used every trick in the book to become attractive to manufacturing. For a while, cheap labor was one of the tools they had, but Chinese labor hasn't been cheap for a long time now. Sometimes now it is even more expensive than American labor, but we still can't compete because we've lost those skills, that knowledge, those networks.

WW2 was over before it started because America had the industrial capacity to outbuild the rest of the world combined, in every category. WW3 will go exactly the same way for exactly the same reasons, but it this time it won't be America.

This page claims over 400,000 recordings but links to a listing of only 187,034 audio files. I'm guessing the discrepancy is the girth of the suit: IA agreed to take down the files that the plaintiffs could prove were theirs and no money changed hands.
