I am still annoyed that we let the damn Argentinian beef get through, but I think it’s comparatively hilarious that we still won’t budge on US “food”.

Holy shit! That guy hacked the system!

I’m guessing that one is toward the EU?

Would be interesting to see how they distinguish “personal consumption” and “transformative” consumption.

The AI did quite literally what any human educating themselves would have done : reading entire libraries to improve themselves. Then make money from it. So if little Timmy pirates 3DS Max or Photoshop to get a job, it’s fine yeah? Or a student trying to read their course without paying hundreds of dollars?

But wait, when Timmy reads a single virtual book, it’s thievery? It’s the loss of a sale? So how many sales were lost through all those virtual books stolen from paying customers by the AI?

They gotta decide one way or another at some point and stop taking the piss.

Also I wonder if the AI can actually remember the entire content of each book they read though. Or any. And if they do, then can that actually be proof, for each individual book thus regurgitated, that the copyright has been unfairly used since a full reproduction (or close enough as to fool a reader?) would be now available.

That’s gonna be some interesting jurisprudence.

If you’re American you probably need to learn Russian anyway these days. Might as well.

People need to remember that when France came to honor their pact to help Serbia, we all got WWI and Petain wasn’t too keen on doing that again.
Not defending his decision because I don’t think there is anything much more shameful than abandoning an ally being attacked, but it’s important to maybe understand context.

There are still people here who were there for the Resistance.
That’s the mentality you guys need to start adopting, because clearly the nice way hasn’t worked so far.

Ah, so that’s who those share buttons are for! Always wondered about that!

I absolutely love that GIF. So appropriate.

Unless you bought something, then you get the exact item in your ads too. Because hey, we know you liked that book! Why don’t you want another copy of it, uh?

It’s a service problem, though. Not a money problem. This is a perfect example of that very fact.
