I don't understand why they would even try to get this data. It's not like a Reddit post would stand up in court as admissable evidence of piracy.

Again, that's not really the case.
I have Asian friends that have used these tools and generated headshots that were fine. Just because this one Asian used a model that wasn't trained for her demographic doesn't make it a reflection of anything other than the fact that she doesn't understand how MML models work.
The worst thing that happened when my friends used it were results with too many fingers or multiple sets of teeth 🤣
Prosecutors are not arguing that Trump’s actions led to any of the deaths that occurred during or after the Jan. 6 attack. So this is not relevant.
It means the DOJ has accused Trump of certain crimes. There will be a trial in a few years to determine if he's guilty.
Max sentence for these charges ranges from 5 to 20 years. Generally, they don't get max sentences, but if convicted Trump could face a decades worth of jail time.
These aren't insurrection charges, so this isn't really relevant.
So, if you break down the numbers, it's a different story.
97% of defendants plead guilty.
Of the 3% that fight their charges, 25% are acquitted.
The DOJ wouldn't have brought these charges unless they knew they would stick.
Something like 99% of cases that DOJ brings charges for are won, but that's mostly because 97% of the defendants please guilty. 25% of those that fight are acquited, so still pretty good chances that he goes to jail from this.
Still, the first GOP president will just pardon him, so even if we win, we'll eventually lose.
Man, this makes me rethink my whole idea of online anonymity.
There's a lot of reasons why requiring identity verification could be a good thing, but holy shit now I realize how quickly something like that could slip into authoritarianism.
I still think we need a identity verification service for things like online games and social media (to thwart ban evasion), but it has to be something decentralized.
Yeah probably 10+ years.
It's going to be hard to stop using Reddit though. Very little niche communities have migrated.
Because I'm tired of seeing ads for things I literally just purchased.
There's nothing stopping you from calling a taxi instead of an Uber.
I'm sure there are some regulations that could help, but there's also value to the free market. Uber is a luxury service so paying more when it is in high demand makes normal sense.
No one is being forced to use it and there are always other alternatives. Plus, in average, an Uber ride is cheaper than a taxi. Just because surge prices are high to meet demand doesn't mean there's a problem.
