This is the question I have about feeding scripts to AI. If I watched a ton of Seinfeld and came up with my own idea about a script, is that a copyright violation? Whats the difference between that and an AI bot learning it? I don't th

That was a long time ago and people my age only see that we went to the moon a few times. The only failure most people are aware of is due to a movie.

Every product is available while supplies last. The question is, will more supplies be manufactured after that? This article doesn’t say either way. The amount of corporate Apple speak here, where everything is positive dnd amazing, is real

Facial recognition would be really tough to get right, but maybe the opposite would work. All faces are blurred unless uploaded by a known performer or verified account.

They're out there for sure. The problem is, entities that own feature length films usually have more pull (money and lawyers) to get it removed. Furthermore, other easier avenues exist for sharing movies.

The truly bizarre/interesting part of all of this is how we assume users of a website to be of the same opinion on most topics.
