Don't say "Congress". Say "Republicans".

The bipartisan bill is also supported by the right-wing Heritage Foundation

Vice, you keep saying "bipartisan", but then you don't prove your point with left-wing groups that are supporting it.

For fuck's sake, is Chris Pratt going to take all of the video game male leads?

It's not tech. It's capitalism.

God damn, I feel like this is the same as that other shit article.

The failure of Luna 25 cements Putin’s role as a disastrous ~~space~~ leader

FTFY.

Unfortunately, that's unrealistic at this stage. It's kind of a good thing we're not at that level yet.

Copyrights don’t just benefit the rich, in fact they severely limit what big companies can do with what you create.

If a big company chose to copy what you created, and you tried to fight it in court, they would bury you in a years-long legal battle that would continue until you ran out of money, quit, or they themselves declared it not worth the money to defend.

Robert Kearns patented the intermittent windshield wiper, which all of the car companies stole, and he sued Ford. From Wikipedia: The lawsuit against the Ford Motor Company was opened in 1978 and ended in 1990. Kearns sought $395 million in damages. He turned down a $30 million settlement offer in 1990 and took it to the jury, which awarded him $5.2 million; Ford agreed to pay $10.2 million rather than face another round of litigation.

Copyrights. Only. Benefit. The. Rich.

Anybody who has played the game will know how much of a dumbass take this is. It's no more a "slot machine simulator" than Doom is a "military training simulator".

We already knew that. This is just upholding an obvious decision that was really already established long before AI was on the scene. If a human didn't create it, it can't be copyrightable.

The problem that the courts haven't really answered yet is: How much human input is needed to copyright something? 5%? 20%? 50%? 80%? If some AI wrote most of a script and a human writer cleaned it up, is that enough? There is a line, but the courts haven't drawn that yet.

Also, fuck copyrights. They only benefit the rich, anyway.

Since when do big corporations give a shit about bursting industry bubbles? If it's not their own bubble, they loooooooove to capitalize on the profit margins that come from disasters. Even if it is their own bubble, they'll find a way to short their own stock to see a big windfall.

The 80/20 rule. The 20% of driving is the part that actually fucking matters.
