Do you understand the difference between someone saying they would defend themselves and someone literally saying they would murder people?

Another of the special folk chiming in here. I have never threatened to kill anyone in my life (except maybe as a very obvious joke) and I’ve never so much as fired a gun.

I’m only surprised you didn’t bring up that he killed a registered sex offender. His defenders usually think that’s relevant for some reason.

Every time I think this motherfucker can’t surprise me by going any lower…

Boring. The vampires should at least have a ping-pong table or something. What if they wake up early?

This is literally all about copyright. Hence the copyright office being sued.

You said it was based on the contract. The ToS literally says Midjourney owns the copyright. This is pretty cut-and-dried.

That has absolutely nothing to do with who owns the copyright. I already quoted to you from their own ToS and linked to it.

Is Kenny Rogers dead or does he just not know what condition his condition is in?

I don’t think the universe works that way.

Is it a finished vampire basement? Is there a vampire rec room?

The article makes it perfectly clear that he used Midjourney.

Midjourney makes it perfectly clear that he does not own the copyright to anything he uses Midjourney for.

I’m not sure what your point is.

They make it clear that you do not own the copyright on the images you create. Did the artist suing the copyright office use this company?

In his statement, Newsom said the bill focused too much on the biggest and most powerful AI models, saying smaller upstarts could prove to be just as disruptive.

Jesus Christ… “don’t pass a law stopping Facebook from sucking up your data because some other company could take over for Facebook and suck up your data instead.”

I’m sure he wouldn’t care for this, but I associate him most with the movie Millennium. I know it’s an objectively terrible movie, but I like it and I like him in it.

Okay, let’s see the contract in this AI case that grants this man the copyright.

If I use a combination of words to commission an artist to paint a picture, I don’t own the copyright on that picture.

Look for the eccentricities, the simple eccentricities
Forget about your worries and your strife
I mean the eccentricities, old mother nature’s recipes
That bring the eccentricities of life

You have to be the creator of the work in order to copyright it. He didn’t create the work. If the wind organized the leaves into a beautiful pattern, he couldn’t copyright the leaves either.
