fwiw there is a wave of late career people on YouTube who have been replaced by AI and are in the process of reinventing themselves
No magic answers, but a lot of people sharing what is and isn’t working for them

What do you think it looks like to face the problem?

I think the issue is not having the rule of law. Instead it’s with the bias in our laws/legal system
This is part of the Just World fallacy, that the Law will protect good people + usually works well.
Ditto with the belief in "good gov" as part of Just World fallacy.
Non-marginalized people can get by without having to check those assumptions.
So they are aghast when you point out the fallacy.

OpenAI Loses Key Discovery Battle as It Cedes Ground to Authors in AI Lawsuits
The issue has been a major battleground in discovery. OpenAI could be on the hook for hundreds of millions, if not billions, of dollars if it was aware it was infringing on copyrighted material.

Women and men don’t have equal responsibility to stand up bc it’s Trump?

I do not buy-in to the idea of men as the ‘saviors’ of women. At all. The women and then in the room share equal responsibility.
Not more or less-depending on gender.

Why don’t they bear equal responsibility to stand up?
Having different expectations for men & women in that workplace perpetuates the myth of inequality

In general the historically Google search based stolen images didn’t
1- make the mistakes the GenAI images do (like the example)
which undermines the presenters credibility
2- They also didn’t have the destroy-the-environment cost that GenAI imagery does

Why don’t you have the same expectations and standards for BOTH the men & the women in the room

Does this “defense spending bill” need a simple majority or a super majority to pass?

Frankly, it’s difficult to forgive her. And so difficult to praise her strong work.
Because we are so disgusted with her unethical behavior which cost this case a fair trial!

Are those TOS going to pass the legally reasonable bar?
(Setting aside that OpenAI ought to gate the self-harm content. Especially when the user is a minor. TOS only hold up in court if they are deemed reasonable.)

She should be. Trump will pardon her of course
Nonetheless we need a GIANT SPOTLIGHT on the March 15th key event: the Executive Branch illegally telling the Judiciary to get lost by ignoring a judicial order

I’m hoping this TOS tactic doesn’t work.
Personally I don’t think TOS can be deemed legally “reasonable” if they don’t directly address suicidal ideation or suicidal assistance (which the app gave).
But more importantly why wasn’t the functionality/topic gated? Especially for a minor.

Excellent. But this teen is dead. Did he disaffirm the OpenAI TOS?

That’s an interesting tactic. TOS is a legal binding agreement. This may turn on whether the terms are deemed to be reasonable.
