I'm not arguing the merit of the law itself, I'm just saying that doing something that you know to be against the law is inherently going to generally get you a harsher punishment than causing harm via negligence.

To this day, hearing the words "badger", "mushroom", and "snake" will often be enough for me to get that song stuck in my head.
Intent is part of the law. Yours was a crime committed with intent, her's was a crime committed by negligence.
The most annoying part of this is that even if he quits wasting our oxygen, it's "too close to the election" for the Senate to do their jobs and confirm the replacement.
Man are you going to be disappointed when you learn that trains don't chugga chugga no mo'.
That's always been my concern with the concept of a wealth tax. The example I always think of is the person who starts a successful private company. This theoretical person could be doing everything right: paying a fair wage to all employees, taking the same scale of compensation for themselves, and reinvesting company profits back into the company itself. Over the years, this company is very successful. Since it's a private company, the guy who started it is now worth millions of dollars. How is he supposed to pay this wealth tax? He's going to have to increase his own wage to compensate for the tax.
That will have a non-zero effect, but it's far from the whole story.
Microsoft has deemed my processor too old, so luck me doesn't have to worry about these things.
This is a false equivalence.
No, it's an analogy.
I think one thing you and many other people misunderstand is that the image generation aspect of AI is a sideshow, both in use and in intent.
The ability to generate images from text based prompts is basically a side effect of the ability that they are actually spending billions on, which is object detection.
Manufacturers of what? Selling and replacing car parts is a much different proposition than trying to replace semiconductors inside an earbud.
Well yeah. That's why there's any legal punishment at all. Being bad at your job otherwise would just get you fired.
