We are talking about a Chinese State-owned company here, right?
No. Xiaomi is not a state-owned enterprise.

The accident occurred in China, which has a very different legal system.
But if you put the solar panels on your house instead of the car, it will be cheaper, and you can use the power for other things when the car doesn't need it.
I have an EV and panels on my roof. I never use the power from the panels to charge my EV. It makes more sense to feed the solar power into the grid during the day (when electricity is expensive) and charge my EV from the grid at night (when electricity is cheap).
The only advantage I can see for putting the panels on the vehicle is if you're stranded in the desert. How often does that happen?
Then why is it every few months we hear stories about them being on the verge of bankruptcy?
We don't. GameStop faced bankruptcy in 2021 but has been cash-rich since then.
In 2021, short sellers piled on, but were subjected to a crowd-sourced squeeze, causing the share price to soar.
GameStop cashed in on the squeeze by issuing new shares, raising billions in cash.
You are stating an opinion rather than citing established case law, so you appear to agree with me that the law is not settled.
No one can download it for free. They can have it in their cache and they can read it.
You can't have it in your cache without downloading it.
But no one is allowed to scrape it.
It is legal to scrape most public-facing websites. Search engines do it every day.
If AI can download for free than everyone else had better be able to
The issue is stuff that everyone else can already download for free.
Can an AI learn from material on the web that is already viewable by the public?
Capitalism should apply the same to everyone
That's what the capitalists are saying.
It's the artists and authors claiming that "AI is different."
The laws are clear
No, they are not.
The laws are ambiguous, and whether "training" is "copying" has not been established.
Across their entire fleet that is not a lot of tickets per vehicle (only in aggregate)
If the journalist wasn't a moron with an agenda, a per-vehicle comparison with human drivers would've been included in TFA.
But reproducing for (or not for) profit is.
Reproducing may be a copyright violation, but copying is not "stealing".
It isn't clear that training an AI is even "copying".
Except of course that, if there are any laws in Greenland about buying votes, it seems like that would be illegal.
It is not buying votes. If the referendum passes, each Greenlander gets $1M whether they voted for it or not.
But they were most likely trained on stolen data.
Reading isn't "stealing".
Why doesn't Gates just buy Greenland?
A Trump spokesperson suggested paying $57 Billion for Greenland, or $1M for each of 57,000 residents.
An informal poll found that most Greenlanders would accept the deal if it were put to a referendum.
Bill Gates has a net worth of about $110B, so he could afford it.
It's kind of interesting that if bees are actually doing better, they are doing so in spite of climate change
Honeybees are doing better because of restrictions on neonicotinoid pesticides and better education.
My mom is a beekeeper and is involved in educating local farmers about when and how to spray.
Farmers should use more bee-friendly chemicals and spray crops before blossoms form or after they drop off. They should also inform local beekeeper organizations of their spraying schedules so hives can be sealed on specific days.
We're doing better at all of these things.
I don't understand why people tolerate HOAs.
Everybody seems to hate them. Real estate ads say "No HOA!!!" as a selling point.
Yet millions of people voluntarily move into neighborhoods that have them, elect Nazis to the board, and then start complaining.
