Harper to the judge: "Your driver's license doesn't list your height and weight at birth. It doesn't list where you used to live. It identifies who you are now."
No, the US Supreme Court did not declare that AI works cannot beΒ copyrighted
If you have been online recently you may have been a variation of this story that reads something like this: "The US Supreme Court declares that AI generated works aren't copyrightable." I won't name and shame all of theβ¦
No company lays off 40% of its workforce except when it canβt afford to pay them or wants to kill itself. AI hasnβt changed that.
The slurs somehow have more agency than the Republicans.
