  • Well, at least that's a logically consistent position in the issue, even if I vehemently disagree with their broader stance. Of course, they would need to extend that to allow women to claim unborn children as dependents in their taxes, allow women to drive in the HOV lane alone with their fetus, etc.

    I LOL'd at the quote about men not liking that, and paying child support from the time of conception was dumb. Yeah, no shit, dumbass. There goes your logical inconsistency again.

  • "For many election workers, the threats have been a major driving factor to leave the job, hollowing out the ranks of experience ahead of 2024,"

    And this is EXACTLY what the facists want. They hope to replace poll workers with people who will follow their conspiracy theories instead of the law.

  • I am genuinely concerned that a jury will have at least one person that will not convict Trump no matter what the evidence shows. There are people so brainwashed by Trump's big lie that getting an impartial jury will be neaely impossible.

    I only have slim hope it will be ok since a grand jury did choose to indict him. I guess we'll see.

  • I'm absolutely on the side of the artists here, but I do wonder if the AI company's defense will be that the software is no different than another artists drawing inspiration from earlier works. Every art student studies the masters and has assignments to produce works in their style, and current artists have absolutely been influenced by contemporaries. No one evolves their creative style in a vacuum: that's impossible, short of living on a deserted island.

    But this is a fundamentally different problem since the AI can produce millions of tailored works quickly, replacing vast numbers of creatives, threatening their livelihood. That's not as much of a concern with one-off artists creating things similar to something they saw earlier (although the individual concept may be the same).

    This is going to be a really interesting legal case.

  • "Relatively few people were familiar with the goals of the project, and rarely did their enthusiasm for the bonuses translate to an enthusiasm for the Worldcoin project or cryptocurrency more broadly"

    Yeah, I don't really see this project going anywhere. I'm guessing the vast majority of these people who got $50 in worldcoin will never figure out how to convert it to fiat currency or another crypto.
