They have an entirely different use case.

No it was photography.

William S. Burroughs called photography “obscene and sinister”, while many 19th-century critics dismissed it as a “mechanical” activity lacking soul or a refuge for “failed painters”

Edvard Munch Dismissed the medium by stating, “The camera will never compete with the brush and palette until such time as photography can be taken to Heaven or Hell”.

Susan Sontag described photography as “soft murder” and a form of voyeurism, asserting it turns people into possessed objects.

And lastly

“This industry, by invading the territory of art, has become art’s most mortal enemy.” - Quote from 1859 about photography.

Strange, as the above quote sure sounds like it is about AI.

Absolutely bizarre thing to say. The first liberation of women in the US was 1837 when women were allowed to control their own property. The second big liberation was securing the right to vote in 1920.

The issue with what you say is how women were treated after the “boys” came home. As other responses pointed out Women have always worked. The change was the type of work.

They were forced out of their new roles. This was not liberating at all. In fact, it was quite the opposite know your place kind of adjustment.

I suppose you could make an argument that this created an eventual backlash where the first women won the right to equal pay in 1961-2.

You have a point about more women working after this time, but it was not equal as they were forced into “pink” color jobs. I would argue the war really lead to more exploitation of women.

Hitler’s murder crusade inadvertently lead to women being exploited even more than they were before by US capitalism. I suppose it did prove that women could do the job of men, even if their society didn’t respect them.

Cool, now we can add global extortion to cryptocurrency benefits.

Cool, now other countries can steal China’s IP and thus the circle of knowledge continues on.

Translation: It is good at finding bugs that the NSA doesn’t want people to know about.

You also don’t need higher level programming languages. The ability to code assembly has always been inside you.

They could just provide cheap high quality streaming services to end piracy, but instead they want to provide garbage multi-tier advertising enabled massively fractured streaming service and force people to subscribe by playing a lamesauce game of pirate whack-a-mole.

How does it feel to put you life into the hands of a dysfunctional black box?

Which lawyers? Clearly Chevron’s lawyers were able to absolve all their liability so they definitely won.

Furthermore, Chevron extracted close to 30 billion dollars of petroleum and left an environmental disaster behind. Chevron even counter sued and was awarded an addition 3 billion in damages that was reduced to 220 million for Ecuador daring to try and hold a US corporation responsible.

Not only did Chevron prevail they continued the harassment of Steven keeping him under confinement for years and preventing him from practicing law.

I think you are missing hundreds of years of progressive corporate lawyering to entrench their business model(s) into our society.

Take the US for example. Originally corporations had to be for the public good, were time limited, and the owners were held directly financially accountable for their decisions.

It took hundreds of years of court cases and lobbying to get to the point where we are now and it is absolutely insane. There is a reason the corporation has become the dominant form of our culture.

Most patents for the medical sector are built off public research. Companies make minor changes to the formula to extend patents sometimes what seems indefinitely.

Reverse engineering a physical device at this point is trivial. There is no need. The reality is these are legal tools that slow down or limit innovation so the “inventer” can collect monopoly rent.

Software patents are absolute insanity often describing concepts from several decades ago like they are novel.

The entire patent system is absolute garbage rife with patent trolls gobbling up any small business that dares to exist.

There are so many examples such as the developer of X-plane that spent 1.5 million dollars and three years fighting a single frivolous lawsuit over a software patent.

https://www.x-plane.com/x-world/lawsuit/

The average patent lawsuit, if it goes federal is around $1.5 million and can go as high as $5 millions Patents are a game normal people get eaten up by.

From an ethical standpoint companies exploiting patent laws to overcharge is disgusting and the practice is rampant

There really isn’t anything positive for the typical person. In fact, quite the opposite. Patents are legal tools corporations use to extract monopoly rent. The rest is just propaganda.

That literally has nothing to do with patents nowadays. No one is hiding anything anymore, it is about artificial scarcity to collect monopoly rents.

The fact that you deny that we have already lost billions of lives because of corporations trying to extract monopoly rents is your perogative. It is stupid and ignorant, but your choice.

This is how it was before patent law. The sciences, arts, and commerce existed for thousands of years without these corporate laws. It is about creating artificial scarcity, which is an incredibly dumb concept in our modern world.

You need to eliminate the thought of the big guy stealing ideas from the little guy. This is propaganda used to play on our emotions. Intelectual Property benefits an extreme minority at the cost of billions of lives.

Advertisers can’t figure out who you are and service providers don’t know if you are from where you say you are. This and age verification are about making money and commerce.

With an average annual percentage rate of 390% - 900% !

Remember when consoles would get cheaper not more expensive over time!? This thing is five years old at this point.

Next time thank the grammar Nazi!

Lots of money to be made from the inevitable security holes made by vibe coders. Sounds lucrative!

CEO suggests raising employee costs by fifty percent and is immediately fired.

Sorry, we don’t live in a sane world anymore.
