Well, they're not buying the 'likeness' in most cases as much as they're buying the actor's 'star power' - i.e. their ability to trade on their own name and performance independently of any one media produ

“I am, somehow, less interested in the weight and convolutions of Einstein’s brain than in the near certainty that people of equal talent have lived and died in cotton fields and sweatshops.” ― Stephen Jay Gould, The Panda's Thumb: Mor

Oh, I agree. The concept of being capable of being coerced into signing away your likeness in perpetuity is absolutely vile. In a real sense it's the only thing you own that can't be separated from you. These contracts should be i

Perhaps the problem is people needing to be employed to justify their existence or as a proxy measure to their ongoing contribution to society and its degree?

Simply because I didn't state "for all and every" doesn't invalidate my point, nor does it support yours as true - further, "heavily favored" suffers from the same problem. The point is, there's a system w

Words have meanings, and the instruction pipeline consists of electrical signals - and those early CPUs were almost all microcoded or had multiphase clocks or some other implementation abstraction which they did not expose to their architec

The CPU is a compiler for programs written in the machine instruction set architecture the CPU claims to implement which happens to output real world effects just as a compiler outputs program code. So, no, you can't.

There is, the input is the description of the image so produced plus the hidden elements and parameters (randomness, etc) that users often don't see - with these there is a deterministic input to output relationship. The fitness of the

The output of a compiler (i.e. A translation program) is created via a prompt (the source code). The output object code is very much copyrighted. People keyword stuff their source code all the time (pragmas) in order to influence the genera

Yes. As such it would be a last resort and even then likely done very carefully (perhaps even to the point of burning a high level human intelligence source or sources as a plausible explanation for it). We're talking "no alternat

It is and very much does. Fortunately, there is plausibly little that qualifies as a true outside context problem these days. Authors of fiction, and especially of science fiction, are mostly to thank for that.

You've described most of open source software development and yet people still write the code because they need the code and want to share the code with others because others shared with them. This isn't the problem you think it i

The actual question to ask isn't "is this fake?" it's "how is this record likely to have been manipulated or constructed and whom does it serve?"

All photos are edited in their taking. As such, all images represent a "fake" reality. The only difference between an AI "fake" image and photograph is the camera.

Non-concessions dangled (that were never demanded as dangled but which most observers think were) are far more effective than demanded concessions given. Your comment illustrates that nicely.

With Ryzen and their other recent products and their rapid pace of improvement, they certainly have developed a decent track record of that.
