Yes. Museum curators/gallery owners do not own the copyrights to the pictures they selected. What your are describing you put the computer as 'anonymous creator' as far as Title 17 is concerned.

Maybe. Everything from back when I was a real person and dealt with copyright, patent, and trademark lawyers tells me otherwise, but I know this from the tech industry side/tech industry lawyers and not art specifically. My reading of

Also there was no need to call bullshit. You're the reason the internet sucks now.

But the photographer took the picture, determined the framing and composition. A copyright owner for AI would be claiming to own their contribution, the prompt, but not the automated machine generated portion, the image. Their pulling it fr

A machine operator does not own the copyright on the parts his machine stamps out even though he puts in inputs. GM's engineers can own the copyright on a car they design in CAD. If you put in creative inputs using a tool, it is copyri

I don't know your situation enough to add much. I can only talk to myself. Walking away is forever. When you are sick and alone. When you want to share memories about the restaurant you used to go to. About so many shared moments. Div

Off-Topic: Most stories about politics, or crime, or sports, unless they're evidence of some interesting new phenomenon. I would say Putin escalating a major war in the heart of Europe and his threats of nuclear warfare with the West f

John Meersheimer's thesis is based on Meersheimer's belief that 'Putin never lied prior to the way <edit>war not way</edit>'. Not really stable foundation to build his thesis on.

Funny that in all criticism of Russia on HK, every opposing post has to include reference to Reddit. You are not going to manipulate people so easily. 'Oh man, come on guys, you're sharing positions with those simple minded Reddit

Putin can't even elevate to full out war and conscription, yet you think he will jump all the way to using nuclear weapons? The threat is completely hollow.

Yeah. Oh isolation for a few days? Look what the prison system did during COVID, suspending all rights rules and any pretense of inmates being humans because COVID safety trumped all. Try living in a space the size of an elevator with 2 peo

But it's not copyrightable. I guess you can lie and say you created it, but you didn't, and computer generated. You created it no more than you created your house because you picked the layout and paint colors. There is no money i

I wish someone would setup neighborhood geothermal heat pumps as a heating utility or coop model. It's so expensive for everyone to bore into the ground for this.

Don't actually leave. That's just supposed to be an exercise to foster gratitude and get rid of resentments. Don't leave. Talk to old guys who 'toughed it out' or guys like me who failed their families if you even t

Failed my family in midlife, lost them all, lost everything. Here are my thoughts. Find gratitude. Find humility. Give up ego. Shut down that voice that says 'but I deserve....'. You live better than almost all of humanity ever ha

When I worked in the Bay Area and had a long commute, before going into the house I would leave all my worries with the 'worry tree' outside. I took a moment to decompress, and to make sure I had energy and excitement prepared so

You are right, organized crime has never existed in this country. Hasn't required complex new statutes be created to go up against their sophistication. The government doesn't shout from the rooftops with their limited victories.

I'm just going off of talking with people during 5 years in the Feds. You know, the guys that can get whatever they want in prison because 'connections'. The guys that can reach out and touch someone for you if you need it. B

Strange, NVidia entered existence off of their great relationship with SGI. Who would think they would have relationship issues?

No in the USA. We have rights on paper, but the threat of the trial tax convinced most to waive all of their rights in a plea agreement. That takes away things like their right to appeal their sentence, challenge illegal police behavior, et

Ah, so criminals that get busted follow poor practices that lead to them getting busted. Not sure what this has to do with criminals at large, you know, the ones that do stuff like use a safe phone when traveling abroad.

Not sure why you are downvoted for speaking truth. I know as a manager I rarely brought on new hires during this period if I had a choice.
