Creating a version of reality is significantly different from conjuring abject falsehoods. There is an objective reality for what (e.g.) a baby peacock should look like, and this AI slop is inherently misleading about that.

a) The pilot was operating altruistically as an individual citizen with no express or implied authority. Thus, not a “cop”. Similarly, the people with whom he was coordinating weren’t acting in any law-enforcement capacity and were actually

That’s all well and good if you’re the owner. But you’re not the owner of a computer program that is merely licensed to you for your use. Every game comes with an End User License Agreement that explicitly unambiguously says you don’t own

But that doesn’t allow for this, the original assertion: > But IP law says nothing about interaction with already-existing copies. …because it requires a separate copy.

That doesn’t fit the bill, as it seems to only be for “making backup copies”, not interfacing directly with an emulator.

Okay, so how do you plug a proprietary Switch cart into a PC to play your “already-existing copy” on an emulator?

> But people expect updates and changes. This entitled attitude is part of the problem. A game can’t simply be shipped and done anymore. It means the quality can slip, because “we’ll patch it after we ship.” It also means the author has

Anyone who uses Hallelujah as a Christmas song should be filed with the folks who think Springsteen’s Born in the USA is positively patriotic.

Check out Jason Isabel and the 400 Unit’s cover of Metallica’s Sad But True . Even if you’re not a Metallica fan, it’s a fannnnntastic song.

> Guns are tools, that can be used to kill people, just like knives, clubs or other weapons What non killing-or-practicing-killing use do handguns have? Zero. Surely there must be better ways of “ensuring equity” than threat of death.
