It probably wouldn't hold up in court, but it can be used as a bludgeon to dissuade people from filing in the first place. Roku is totally allowed to lie and say "You can't sue, you agreed to mandatory arbitration. // You can't join the class action, you agreed not to. If you do either of these things, we'll sue you."

This could easily dissuade quite a few people from litigating, limiting how much the company needs to pay out.

A car driven by a human is unlikely to need firefighters to lift the vehicle up to get at the woman pinned by its tire. Even if they're good at general driving they have an unfortunate habit of making emergencies worse.

This is per year. And most degrees are 4 years, though it's not uncommon for them to run to 5. So by the time a student graduates they have on average ~$37k in debt.

As a supporter of the voluntary human extinction movement, I agree.

Cancer risk from radiation is not just the absolute amount of exposure, but the duration of the exposure as well. Short high-intensity radiation doses carry higher risk than long, low-intensity doses.

And 100mSv/yr is a rate, which is greater than 44mSv/yr. After 4 years, you will still have not had the dose needed that is linked with increased cancer risk.

I'm personally of the opinion that the hints aren't for the UFO expansion, but it's probably teasers for the World War 3 event, combined with camera artefacts and general player secrecy.

It's sad too. Everyone wants some good new DLC. All this PvP shit is getting out of hand. :(

If you're not upset, why'd you call them cunts?

Copyright is not ownership. You can own something, but not hold the copyright to it.

Personality rights are also not copyright and as the ruling was not about personality rights, it did not affect these rights (where they exist in the US). Disregarding both AI and the recent ruling, if someone takes a photograph of you, you do not hold the copyright to it, the photographer does. If the photographer then does something with that image that harms your reputation you may be able to sue.

And no, it is unlikely that there is a distinction between one's likeness and "AI generated likeness," it usually doesn't matter if you use a photograph or a drawing of an individual, it is the identity that is protected regardless of what tool was used.

It also does not experience space, as the entire universe has been length contracted in its direction of motion into a 2d plane. It is simultaneously occupying every point along its path. So it doesn't need to experience time.

Musk replied to one user questioning Lucre's suspension with an answer to why the platform took action. According to Musk, Lucre was suspended for "posting child exploitation pictures associated with the criminal conviction of an Australian man in the Philippines." Musk followed up by saying that they'd remove the post but would reinstate Lucre's account. Lucre was back on Twitter the very same day.

So. . . Probably who you'd expect.
