  • Correct me if im wrong, but this may be a good idea. Between this and the OpenAI v ScarJo lawsuit a few years back, if Swift suceedes in trademarking herself, it may make it easier for others to do so as well.

    I see the fallout being a ton of artists and celebrities following suit, eventually the barrier of legal paperwork/fees getting low enough that Youtube personalities and small time artists can also trademark themselves.

    If enough people also went out of their way to legally protect their image, AI companies would be walking into a litigation minefield as they cant reasonably know how many people filed with the trademark offices. The easiest solution is to not let deepfake voices or images be too real, if they are they risk getting sued by some random actor.

    It stinks that inorder to potentially set precisent to make AI less toxic, a billionair has to go to bat first, but I dont think im going to add this to my list of valid complaints about her.





  • Random internet stranger, I have inportant instructions from THE FUTURE [queue scifi music] (also this is a big assumption is still a US in 20 years). On 2044-03-30, buy tickets to Disney World for 2045-08-12. Current policy allows booking 500 days in advance and the park will be in the path of the next total solar eclipse. This will be the single most expensive day to ever be in the park and you can try and sell the tickets.

    But real, non-joking answer. Got to Banff NP, Alberta Canada on 2044-08-23. It will be going through part of the lower-48, but lets be real, North Dakota is kinda dull.











  • I get their point, but the tin foil hat is just too easy this time.

    Most people are only getting the details and major events reported in the news. When something happens they draw conclusions from that incomplete data, a news article is not an unbiased record of events.

    The flip side is that the cheeto-in-chief left pallets of classified documents in a bathroom down the hall from a xerox and it seems like an easy conclusion for the public to jump to that he speedran a Tom Clancy novel.
