That's an interesting observation. Yet, apparently, the little widgets at either end of the cable are a potential national security risk.

They'll ban you for expressing forbidden opinions. Opinions that are extremely fucking common outside of Reddit.

I was auto suspended because I quoted a 30 year old statement supporting the rights of gays and lesbians that made reference to "LGB communities". I was accused of Trans erasure or some other stupid bullshit.

I hope the stock price falls low enough for Elon Musk to buy it for a song.

I assume there was some form of contract. Generally speaking, any time you send somebody unsolicited copyrighted material, you can expect it to get summarily thrown in the trash, so whomever you sent it to can't fall for the old "you stole my idea" bugaboo.

VFX studios are already doing this for their production pipelines. The processing happens in a data center; all the artists see is essentially a terminal window. Nobody can "walk off" with anything.

Hahaha, "The API is indescribable." (Followed by an index of 14 Markdown documents.)

Yes, passing out in the back of a taxi is definitely the equivalent of grabbing for a cop's gun. I'm glad you spotted that.

Revoke corporate personhood.

No, human-controlled robots have much better response time. This kind of incompetence can only be created with AI.

The lips are too big, the expression is slack, the skin flaps like it's dead, it moves robotically, it lacks the movement to make the sounds, and it's very stiff. That thing is horrifying.

When everything is illegal, nothing is illegal, but an authoritarian government can enforce laws against anyone it likes. This isn't about stopping companion bots, it's about creating an excuse to stomp down on anyone They want who is using the latest tool.

There's no reason Slashdot would suddenly come down hard on "infringement" by AIs except misguided general anti-AI sentiment and consensus cracking. Some people don't like AI and have seized on this as a way to stop it. Some other people are paid to say these things, to create the illusion that there is consensus for strong copyright laws. But strong copyright laws hurt almost everyone and have gone far, far beyond their original justifications. Rent seeking owners of publishers are holding our culture hostage, and it's evil.

No. It is not copyright infringement, and there's no reason to hold copyright so sacred anyway. Are you seriously wanting to protect hundred year old fairy tails from being retold? Information wants to be free.

This is not news for nerds. This is not stuff that matters.

I know that ship sailed long ago, and slashdot is kinda mid-grade engagement bait these days, but come on, there is no pretense of substance in this one. It's monkeys flinging poo on the front page. Please try to be better than this.
