How does that benefit devs? Epic should swallow the cost if it wants to do that

If a bunch of people photographed that same incident from different angles, clearly it's real

Interesting that this is the threshold because it might need to be raised. In the past it was definitely true that perspective was a hard problem to solve, so multiple angles would increase the likelihood of veracity. Now with AI tools and even just the proliferation and access to 3D effects packages it might no longer be the case.

Lawyers are not PR people, its not surprising they would try any avenue to save the company money.

Rest assured that if this hadn't become a big news story they would have got away with it too, as no random citizen has the means to force them to do anything, especially when it comes to the courts.

Does that include Rishi Sunak's interest payments?

52% of turnout, which is 72.21% or eligible voters, which is only ~71% of the total population.

Reminder that there was never an actual majority for Brexit, let alone the hard brexit that we ended up with, and our politicians continue to pander to a minority of extremely hateful right wingers for reasons that escape the majority of the population.

Having been, he 100% brought that in. The food in all the venues has been terrible without exception, however this is still a great idea

I think it is generally because of our deeply capitalist society and upbringing that we are told to believe people are greedy and selfish, therefore we must be greedy and selfish ourselves in order to not get taken advantage of, or replaced.

Why even specifically mention AI? Are there already laws that cover creating a sexually explicit likeness without consent e.g. with photoshop or just painting one? If so why wouldn't those laws also cover AI and if not why wouldn't the law also wish to cover these cases?

Liberal is the opposite of authoritarian. Progressive is the opposite of conservative. American 1 dimensional politics does not define all of political conversation.

With the exception on Boom, every episode this season seems to have a huge pacing problem. To me every single one seems to drag with very little happening, until suddenly there is a massive climax that invariably is unsatisfying and makes no sense, before the episode abruptly ends. How is this the same show that gave us complex stories like Midnight or Heaven Sent in the same amount of time?

Quick rundown:

  • Space Babies: Everyone is scared of the monster, until suddenly the monster was made by a computer error and needs to be saved
  • The Devils Chord: Jinx Monsoon is stealing all the music, until suddenly they have a ridiculous music battle, which the Doctor somehow loses, but the beatles return to play a note and the day is saved
  • 73 Yards: A great horror concept of Ruby being followed by a mysterious entity, that turns out to be herself as an old women making herself lonely for her entire life??
  • Dot and Bubble: Turns out the Dot hates humanity and is killing them off, but instead of instantly braining them all, as it is clearly capable of, it creates giant slugs to eat them? And the people don't want to be saved?

I genuinely think a lot of the themes and concepts in this series are very good, but the scripts need to be tightened up, instead of juggling so many metaphors and societal commentaries in each episode.

I actually liked this one more than I thought I would from the trailer, but once again the resolution just leaves me confused and unsatisfied.
