  • I’m actually curious what they even import from the US that they can’t find elsewhere or make themselves.
    I’m wearing NB bought in a NB shop in Wuhan at European prices and they’re… made in Indonesia. I’m guessing it’s gonna be some really unique luxury shit like alcohol? Or cars? So nothing that’s gonna affect Chinese people significantly, except perhaps to send them shopping in the EU and reinforce the Belt and Road and the railway connection with Europe (well, if Putin doesn’t fuck things up. That’s another story)



  • Would be interesting to see how they distinguish “personal consumption” and “transformative” consumption.

    The AI did quite literally what any human educating themselves would have done : reading entire libraries to improve themselves. Then make money from it. So if little Timmy pirates 3DS Max or Photoshop to get a job, it’s fine yeah? Or a student trying to read their course without paying hundreds of dollars?

    But wait, when Timmy reads a single virtual book, it’s thievery? It’s the loss of a sale? So how many sales were lost through all those virtual books stolen from paying customers by the AI?

    They gotta decide one way or another at some point and stop taking the piss.

    Also I wonder if the AI can actually remember the entire content of each book they read though. Or any. And if they do, then can that actually be proof, for each individual book thus regurgitated, that the copyright has been unfairly used since a full reproduction (or close enough as to fool a reader?) would be now available.

    That’s gonna be some interesting jurisprudence.
