It’s always ethical to pirate when an intellectual property is owned by someone other than the creator.

Iran has always had mandatory military service for men 18+. You can buy out if you’re rich, but they’ve been drafting for years.

And Iran is arguably the #3 major player ahead of Israel who wants to keep their military action at home.

Hasn’t russia been conscripting for a couple of years now?

There was no widespread hatred that I was aware of. And by season 2, it was pretty universally liked.

This really makes me want a cigarette.

That’s cool. I’m also a Mutant.

I like being spoiled.

And I baked a crusty loaf of sourdough bread this morning.

Don’t get defensive about this.

AI will gobble up all intellectual property and shit out something similar. Over and over over.

Stopping it isn’t an option. And it isn’t society’s job to protect intellectual property owners from new technology in the first place.

Living creators will be able to make a humble living through live appearances and physical media, the same as they have for the last couple of centuries.

This isn’t about your ego, peanut. Your position is the wrong one.

Nah, you’re wrong. Fuck protecting creators from AI. Let the internet become a circlejerk of bots gobbling each other’s digital cum.

When a good comedian comes along, I’ll go see a live performance. The same goes for musicians, painters, novelists, whoever. Anyone old enough to remember the internet of the '90s will tell you what a derivative shithole it has become already. It’s only getting worse. Artists will adapt and monetize things that AI can’t ruin the market for.

Analog human culture can be fun in ways that no chatbot will ever know.

Does she own the rights to his work by chance?

Excellent point.

I listened to the first five minutes, and it’s pretty similar to Carlin’s later work.

I’m not clutching my pearls about this any more than Steamboat Willie going into the public domain.

Intellectual property rights are silly, and protecting dead entertainers’ legacies is a waste of time. If a Carlinbot makes a good joke, good for the Carlinbot. What I heard wasn’t very impressive.

The Ayatollas don’t realize that when 🇺🇸Americans🇺🇸 talk about war, they’re really talking about masturbation.

Dr. Steamboat Willie: “Take off your pants and put them on the chair with mine.”

Mickey is ready for your prostate exam.

Off the subject, but is there a good kbin mobile app?

Wow! “Metart” sounds so classy. Like Metropolitan and Art put together.

Remember, they’re British.
