Honestly, most Americans should be worried about fraud. Republicans have spent the last 4 years putting election deniers in key positions of power, purging voters' registrations, and changing laws on how someone can vote and whose vote counts. There are at least 2 Supreme Court Justices that bought into the lie last time and will not hesitate to give the win to Trump if given the opportunity. They tried to fraudulently steal the last one and the same people are still in power. They will try again. The only legal way to stop them is to vote in such high numbers against them that the decision is never sent to Congress or the courts to resolve.

Yeah, articles are including the image because they can. If a judge had instead ruled that AI generated works were copyrightable (and to the prompter, not the designer of the tool, owner of the hardware, or even the tool itself) the end result would be that very few orgs would include his piece instead just opting for generating their own (now copyrightable) image to use as an example. He'd still get nothing, but then significantly fewer people would see his "work."

How is he losing millions of dollars? If you're just trying to get into the art fraud money laundering scheme thing then make an NFT and find an idiot. But just the creation of a piece (be it traditional, digital, or "ai") doesn't entitle you to a payout. And if you're just complaining about the dissemination of the piece you asked someone else's computer to generate for you without a kick back link tax, well--that's not how copyright, the internet, or normal human correspondence works.

Or like the game instead of the credit card collection form.

They didn't damage it. They did throw soup at it.

Their tactic is also working. You're aware of the event, who they are, what they stand for, and why they did it.

Is it though? What about the relatives of those killed in Israel's last week of war in Lebanon? Do you think they're happy with the outcome or might there be a chance recruitment goes up?

Banning Bump stocks and legalizing hemp.

There are actually quite a lot of DRM free games on Steam, BTW.

Many Christians believe that living together before marriage is wrong. Many conservatives are either Christian or appeal to Christian values (as they're both largely patriarchal and controlling; at least as practiced). This guy's conservative.

It's unclear who'll win the next US election. Zelensky wants support from whomever wins. Zelensky therefore has met with all the candidates who have a chance to win to try and bolster the chances of continued support.
