  1. I clicked to see the thumbnail image in higher resolution and now I’m left with disappointment.

  2. Their entire country is burning around them. Glad they are staying focused on the big issues that affect them.

  3. Seeing as her likeness has been stolen by AI companies already this shouldn’t be a surprise

    The Digital Millennium Copyright Act (DMCA) of 1998
    is going to be difficult to beat.

    Should have become involved in the fight when Google was “stealing” authored works; but since that didn’t pose a threat to actors’ personal bottom lines, it wasn’t worth their time.

    Now, almost 30 years later, and because their personal wealth is threatened, they come running.
    Why in the heck can’t people work together?

    Best of luck.

    For those interested in understanding the legal part: look up digital millennium copyright act, AI.

    It will be an arduous journey for them with regard to the DMCA law, alongside of contract law.

    Don’t care about the crying celebrities.

    Don’t care about the disgruntled artists who now can’t find work.

    What we should have a problem with is the environmental effects of AI.

    Now, I’m a techno-optimist. I believe every problem in life can be solved with some sort of technological solution.

    Climate change? Carbon-capturing technology.

    AI Joblessness? Systems that can distribute an appropriate ‘Universal Basic Income’.

    What we need to focus on next is the efficient cooling of data centres, which doesn’t include stripping the available water supply from local communities.
