The media you cite are still copyrighted, meaning that it’s illegal for other people to distribute them or make money of it without a corresponding license. If that weren’t the case, creators might be…

It makes a difference. People are less willing to wear heavy headphones all day than they are willing to wear regular glasses all day. They also wouldn’t want to wear ski goggles all day (unless they …

If an AI chatbot would consistently defame a particular company, I’m pretty sure they would be liable too.

If Google’s AI overviews used a deterministic LLM the ruling would hold just the same. This has nothing to do with non-determinism. If your software deterministically produces incorrect output for som…

While I’m opposed to opinionated validation as well, you seem to be missing the issue it tries to solve, which is the user mistyping their email address, not receiving the verification email, and eith…
