So essentially only the rich and famous have any meaningful protection under the law. Have to love the legal system sometimes. Also sucks if you sound like Morgan Freeman. Put out of an entire line of work because someone was famous for sou

Yes, but none of that is truly unique. The odds of a doppleganger sharing my name are astronomically slim but my looks, voice, interests, personality, etc. are not truly unique to me. For an example, what of voice impersonators? Sounding li

The argument of likeness seems odd to me because there are at least a dozen people who might look almost exactly like you who are alive somewhere in the world. What if I give explicit permission to use my likeness but my lookalike demands i

Rust is like walking across a mine field with all the mines flagged for you. You can dig up the mine and remove the flags over time. Or at least know to avoid stepping carelessly around them. In C you only see the flags people know of or re

I would greatly appreciate if you engaged with what I wrote and not what you think I wrote if you're going to make the bold claim that I'm not engaging in good faith. Absolutely nowhere did I equate writing a book to grooming. I

So selling the Anarchists Cookbook is illegal? Being a YouTuber targeting teens for <extreme political positions> is illegal? This is honestly news to me given how many political YouTubers there are who are apparently criminals? Given

People can give children terrible information too and steer/groom them in harmful directions. So why stop there at "AI" or poorly defined "algorithms"? The only content children should see is state-approved content

It's such a common aspect of languages too that many people don't even realize when they're doing it in their native language! People get lazy - especially natives who don't get confused because it's how most native
