It is, machine learning, neural networks and all the other parts in LLMs and generative algorithms like midjourney etc are all fields of artificial intelligence. The AI Effect just means the goalposts for what people think of as "proper" AI are constantly moving.

Emulation and emulators aren't illegal. Yuzu for example got in trouble mostly for distributing tools for circumventing copy protection and dumping roms and not for the emulator itself.

But it doesn't really matter as nobody has money to defend themselves against something like Nintendo. Here just even the threat of it was enough to get the Ryujinx devs to fold just in case.

Because:

Due to an amendment in December 2018 of the Unfair Competition Prevention Act in Japan, certain gaming-related activities and services have now been declared illegal. This includes:

• Distribution of tools and programs for modifying game saves
• Selling product keys and serials online without the software maker's permission
• Game save and console modding services
  As such, sales of products such as Pro Action Replay and Cybergadget's "Save editor" have been discontinued.

It's meant to ban sale of hardware devices and services that allow playing pirated games on Switch and such, but due to the way it's worded it just bans them all.

Here's the actual Finland-russia fence.

Which honestly isn't all that much more impressive when you realize why it looks so strangely familiar.

Tweets are a specific type of a microblog post you do on twitters. Have you tried tweeting, make your own twitter at https://joinmastodon.org/ today!

Reddit is fun is fun for Reddit. The WP is just WP, just like RIF is just RIF.

Interestingly, they still followed the law that requires you to show the lowest price in 30 days which was the same as the sale price. Their argument is that the law doesn't say that they can't base the discount on some other, higher price.

Which does kinda have a point - if you had to base it on that price, if you have e.g a summer sale that lasts two months, after 30 days that sale price is now the lowest price and the sale would "disappear", even if for the other 10 months you'd be selling it for a higher price.
So what's the situation if you have a one week sale, one week normal price, then another sale - 30 day lowest price is the same, but the discount is valid too?

Yes, but:

"Scholars say the biggest reason for Japan's very high conviction rate is the country's low prosecution rate and the way Japan calculates its conviction rate is different from other countries.According to them, Japanese prosecutors only pursue cases that are likely to result in convictions, and not many others.
According to Professor Ryo Ogiso of Chuo University, prosecutors defer prosecution in 60% of the cases they receive, and conclude the remaining 30% or so of cases in summary trials. This summary trial is a trial procedure in which cases involving a fine of 1,000,000 yen or less are examined on the basis of documents submitted by the public prosecutor without a formal trial if there is no objection from the suspect.
Only about 8% of cases are actually prosecuted, and this low prosecution rate is the reason for Japan's high conviction rate." https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Criminal_justice_system_of_Japan

I wonder if they've actually fixed any of the issues with the first one (it's too heavy, unbalanced, expensive and rather useless unless you are already heavily invested in other Apple hardware) to actually get new users to buy it, or are they just assuming like with other Apple hardware that the moment something new with a slight boost in performance hits the market everyone throws the old one in the trash and runs to buy the hot new shit.

Because I'm fairly sure that strategy isn't going to work with VR headsets, and they already didn't sell many of them in the first place.

Remember the Beirut explosion?
Now realize that it was caused by around 1/10th as much ammonium nitrate that is on this ship (2750 vs 20000 tonnes)

Yes, because it used to be"Reddit is Fun", which wasn't okay. That was the point.

WP Engine for WordPress.
That seems to be the commonly accepted solution if you look at other 3rd party trademark cases - situations like "RIF is fun for Reddit" coming to mind.
