Could the prompt used to generate the art be considered human input, or is it that a human must to make some contribution to the art for it to be copyrightable?

I feel the perceived difficulty varies from person to person. Personally I found Mandarin much easier to pick up than German or Spanish, since you don't have to worry about conjugation.

Sure but this is like calling North Korea a democracy because the official name of the country is the "Democratic People's Republic of Korea"

Major world powers generally agree on the reality of climate change, the disagreement is on how to address it

The news typically reports arrests based on information provided by a government, but if people are being disappeared by the government you can't really rely on the truth of that info

Just doing nothing isn't great for the "human spirit", but UBI doesn't mean people can't find their own goals to pursue. The idea of something where people are not longer required to work to survive is hard to accept since many people haven't seriously considered how they could meaning outside of their careers

If the belief is that switching a font is wasteful, why is the solution is to switch fonts again?

For a while Netflix didn't support 1080p on browsers other than Edge on Windows or Safari on Mac. This has changed somewhat but they still reserve their resolution content for their "blessed" OS/browser combinations

ryoshoe — Mon, 27 Oct 2025 18:20:08 +0000

Regardless of potential bribes to politicians, its easy to look at the increased yields from GMO foods as a benefit for a country where ~20% of the population are undernourished

Thought there was no way this was from the same Haribo that makes gummy bears, but apparently it's them. Makes me curious on what other companies have licensed products that would be unexpected given their main business

No state can claim to have a 0% false conviction rate. Would accept inhumane treatment while imprisoned if other, more deserving, people received the same?

>If they're not forced to produce something of value to give to you, then how can you ever be made whole again? Does the state pay? If so, why do taxpayers who didn't commit a crime foot the bill? If it's insurance, then why do non-criminals paying insurance premiums foot the bill?

Are any of these solutions that unreasonable when you consider that the state/taxpayers are already footing the bill to keep prisoners incarcerated?
